Tol-in-Gaurhoth XVI: No man is an Island

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

Each to their own, I guess. Myself, I know I won't sleep soundly until all the wolves are gone. Their note did certainly imply they were going to keep picking us off.

(I am also fairly worried because my schedule is such that I will not be able to get online until 6:15 Tuesday, which means I'll miss voting entirely, and I am now faced with voting early or skipping voting at all...*worries*)

[Meneltarmacil]

Looks like I'll be able to post a little more before having to go to sleep after all...

Anyway, Rune, I'm not a Wolf, I'm actually perfectly normal.

What? You don't think I'm perfectly normal? I don't *cackle* know what could *cackle* possibly give you that *cackle cackle OWWOOOOO* impression...

I'll wait on voting until later, see if any bandwagons develop and take note of who's on 'em.

Oh, and you might be able to catch a glimpse of me sneaking around about 6:00-6:15 AM my time doing, heh heh, the things I usually do around the village then...

I'll then be absent until 2:30 my time.

I'll see you later... heh heh...

You are a peace lover like me no doubt.

I certainly enjoy having my enemies in pieces, if that is what you mean.

Really, do you NEED to raise the prices at times such as these? I was going to get something from you but now I'll stick to my good wormhunting knife and hopefully stick it on some wolvish throat.

And when it utterly refuses to penetrate the wolvish skin (or fur for that matter) you will see the error of your ways.

I find Gurthang's silence in particular to be a little distressing. He normally has something that at least seems useful to say. However, at this point it doesn't necessarily mean anything. Just making a note for future reference.

Why thank you... I think. That seemed like a compliment... almost.

No, the Apprentice would take the Seer's place, but would remain silent (like a normal Seer). It'd be just as if we had only one Seer and no Apprentice, except we find a wolf for certain.

Well, leaving hints does us no good if the only ones to spot them are the wolves. That would leave the Seer open for attack since the Ranger wouldn't catch the hint. I'm not sure hinting is the best. I really prefer an all or nothing approach. Either tell us you're the Seer and give us all your dreams, or don't do anything that would even make the wolves have the slightest inclination that you are the Seer.

Yet on the other hand, a Seer would be wise to leave clues that can only be found once we know who they are. That way if they die without telling us anything, we can look back and know who they dreamed of.

That may have seemed a bit contradictory, but I don't see it so. Don't make any hints that can be seen prior to your death, but maybe leave ones that can be found after the fact. Or simply come out and say it all straight up.

The only other thing that caught my attention was Eluchil's post(#67). It seemed rather back and forth to me, but that's not really enough to build a case on.

Garin is speaking quite a bit. I hope he doesn't try to become a leader in this village. We have many with great courage and good minds, let's not get sidetracked behind one person, as sometimes happens. (Unless that person is the Seer.)

As far as me being quiet, well, I prefer the slow and steady approach.
