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

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

Hmmm. Lots has happened while I've been at school.

Well. Thanks for the vote of confidence... As for the silence, as I have said many times over, I am a student and therefore have school and homework to deal with five out of seven days a week...and work two days a week. So I have few openings in my schedule. But I've been through all that before.

However, to take a Nilp-ish turn, I don't want to be considered innocent just because I "always" am. That's not reason enough. I am, of course, innocent, as I have been in the past...but I don't want that to be the only reasoning behind the idea, because you could, for all you know, be letting a wolf slip through your fingers. (Of course, I'm not one, so that point is moot, anyway).

Ok... Enough about me. Let's talk about the rest of you. I'm not inclined to suspect people on grounds of silence alone, as I know what it's like not to have the time to get online. What I have a harder time dealing with is input that just serves to muddy the waters, make things more confusing, or is walking the line between meaningless and nonsensical. So for now, I'm not going to suspect Malkatoj on grounds of silence.

I also have reconsidered my suspicion of Menel, on the grounds that I have re-read my musings about killing Kath to appear innocent, and I think that was really rather stupid of me. Ah well. It made sense when I wrote it.

Cailin is a little suspicious to me, but I feel inclind to think, for now, that Kath expressing suspicion of her probably means she is not a wolf.

I feel rather suspicious towards Valier, because she's posted some, but I still can't get a good handle on her. She agrees a lot (which isn't a bad thing necessarily, as some people do have good ideas), but we're not getting much new material from her. This could be simple inexperience talking...then again, it could be something more. It is also partially instinct, and I can't say why. Sometimes, you just get a feeling about the way someone's playing.

Garin sends up a red flag, too. I feel like he's playing cleverly, but there's something off, if you know what I mean. He sounds reasonable, but he seems to be playing things close to the chest.

Naria is a concern simply because I can't get a good sense of where she's coming from...I'm content to let it slide for now, since she also hasn't posted much...but if time goes by and still I feel like something is missing, she may get a vote from me.

That all being said, I think I am going to vote for Valier, but I am going to wait and see what else develops for a while.
