Tol-in-Gaurhoth XVIII: The Play’s The Thing…

[The Saucepan Man]

Well, I didn't get very much from my review of Ang's contributions. I did notice one thing, though. It's not much, but it might provide some assistance.

He mildly defended Glirdan (#45) and Celuin (#52) early on in Day 1 and Garin on Day 2 (#173). Might the Wolves have thought that he was our Hunter or our Ranger, defending a fellow Gifted? If so, it would speak in favour of one or perhaps more of those three.

I'm pretty sure that he is.

I have not discounted that possibility. Lmp knew at the time that he voted for Boro that Boro was not going to be lynched. It is possible that he was casting a Wolf-on-Wolf vote. The problem is that I can see very little else to concern me about Boro. I think it more likely that lmp was casting a "safe throwaway" vote. One which would not result in the lynching of an innocent and thereby attract suspicion.

That's as one would expect. I suppose this is a question that inevitably comes up at about this point in the game, but why is he still alive? I think it would be wise to review his posts carefully.

Here we go. I wondered when this would come up. Indeed, I could pretty much have guaranteed that it would become an issue if I made it to Day 3 without getting lynched or mauled. Obviously, I cannot say why the Wolves have chosen not to kill me. But I could ask the same question about a number of other villagers - including you, Master Cook. Perhaps they thought that Ang was Gifted. Or perhaps it's because some of my reasoning has been awry. I was very suspicious of Lhuna, and I was clearly wrong in that. My suspicions of Ang were growing yesterday. Perhaps there is a Wolf among those that I was considering likely to be innocent. I don't know. But feel free to review my contributions as closely as you like. I have nothing to hide.

Now, I'm off to look at the Lhuna voters, if you don't mind.
