TOL-IN-GAURHOTH XII, Erbar Telamarth

[Mister Underhill]

I wish I could take credit for a crafty "playing dumb" game, but if I'm doing dumb stuff, it's unfortunately just dumb stuff. You've all been in werewolf-stricken villages before and have some past history to play off of. It works against me doubly -- not only am I in the dark about your different styles in a werewolf crisis, but I am an unknown quantity which naturally makes people suspicious of me.

It's maddening really -- it seems we have very little to go on except for the vote and the timing of the vote, and knowing as I do that my own vote and its timing were just this side of random, I have almost nothing to base suspicions upon. I almost wish I were a wolf, just so I could feel a little more in control of the fight.

I'm not sure why Lhuna has already cast a vote for me. "For reasons already stated above," she says, but she never mentions me at all in her previous post. Maybe she means reasons stated by other villagers?

It is good to know that Eomer's death was not in vain.

Enough of us will die under the jaws of these things without us volunteering.

Thank you for stating so well exactly what I was going to say. Anguirel was a safe vote, which is why many of us chose him. Certainly we regret it now, but you all must admit that at the time it made sense.

Since Mr. Underhill is now participating more, my suspicions of him have waned. Lhuna's very early vote is questionable... I know she has a big time difference, but she managed to vote later than that on Day 1. Her breaking of the three-way tie by voting for Ang could come off as suspicious... but she her "reasons stated above" may have been the reasons I offered. Only she can tell us that, though.

Those who voted for Cailin:
1. Mormegil
2. Firefoot
3. lmp

Mormegil voted for her when there were already two people with two votes each, and many people with one each. He may have thought that people would bandwagon onto those with two, Shelob and Boromir, and that people would ignore his vote for Cailin. Later, he may have thought, if she was found out, he could fall back on that vote to say that a wolf would not have voted for another wolf on Day 1.

Firefoot I am not sure about. Probably innocent, but it could have been a bold move.

LMP is most likely innocent. I'm reluctant to say definitely, even though I am really willing to rule him out right now, just because I don't want to set anything in stone. But I sincerely doubt that a wolf would have voted for Cailin and put her in the lead to be lynched.

Again, I shall be back tonight, and maybe later this afternoon as well.
