As to that, Firefoot, I'm wondering whether the GW had got some werewolf sniffs and so created a Hunter that he knew was likely to die soon at the hands of the wolves.
Yes, good job GW.

Which would be more incriminatory to him, if he's right or if he's wrong?

Some questions that got asked that I was unable to answer yestreDay:

Forgive me, I was late for work and didn't have time to elaborate. Lalaith was the only one I had really 'noticed', and what Spawn posted in the post directly before my first post pretty much summed it up. (My first post of the day was x-posted with that post and Nogrod, I didn't see it 'til I came back.)

(Not that I have to answer to *you*, you filthy lycanthrope ) I did as Zali should have perhaps done today, I couldn't see anyone who was suspicious enough to garner a vote, so I didn't vote. Since non-voting & non-participation aren't going to be enforced until we get rid of the Wizards, I didn't want to risk miscasting a vote on someone who was probably innocent.

Quote:
The question is, did anyone else make similar posts talking up the importance of the Wolves not knowing each other?
Quote:
I can answer that: I did and I think Oddwen might have mentioned it as well.
Yep, I did.

Right now I'm looking at Celuien and Firefoot. I hope to get back on before toDay's end.

Interesting theory Eomer. I wouldn't call it the worst toDay, but... well I'm not sure what to think of it. You make good points, but at the same time I can see where an ordinary Fea would do those same things. So, for now, I won't be voting for her.

I really wish Lhuna was around. I'm starting to worry about her. Likewise with Sleepy; I don't think he's been on toDay.

So, I think I'm doing this the wrong way. I keep coming up with people who I don't want to vote for, but that doesn't do me much good as far as who I will vote for. But, mostly for my own sake:

Won't vote for: morm, Eomer, Fea, or spawn.

People I'm more wary/suspicious of: Celuien, Azaelia, and Diamond. I think I'll look over their posts, and maybe a few others.

But at this moment, I think I'll join Fea for a bite to eat.

I have been reading and the same thing keeps coming to mind.....In my lorebooks I have always known Roa's ancestors to argue with Nogrod's, but after another reading through, I find that she has been going over board in their squabble....I believe this would be a good move for the EW Get one of your already suspisious wolves killed and it makes you look more innocent.....Not to me!!!! I find this VERY odd and again I believe Roa-Aoife would pick Naria and Nogrod as her Baddies, so I would love some more analysis stuff on Roa and perhaps I can pick up something more on her.....

Honestly, I kind of like Eomer's crazy theory. Yes, it's happenstance and circumstance, but not entirely unlikely...as I recall my lorebooks tell of an ancestor of Fea's who, being wolvish, cheerfully told the village so, and an innocent ancestor of mine firmly believed that must mean she was joking and was innocent.

Fea has cheerfully told the village she's the Evil Wizard. The question is, is she joking? Must ponder...

Wait... I said that? Where?

I know that I promised a more in depth post with all conclusions based on analyzation thus far, but something's just come up and I'm uncertain as to whether or not I'll be able to do it. If I can't get it all done and posted before the end of the day, be sure it will be my first post "tomorrow." Sorry 'bout that... blasted real life interrupting at inopportune moments...

Jenny... there's a reason I used a smiley! D'ya think he actually thought I was EW? Remember why I said he wasn't? Because he's not stupid. I'd like to think that I'm equally intelligent, thank you. Teasing was simply teasing.

"Fea's evil." "Yes, dear, of course I am. Now let's be serious, shall we?"

The reason I came back to the village (read: my computer): whether I can get a lengthy post up or not, I'll be back to vote before the day ends.

Precisely Gurthang! That's what made me hesitate to post the theory, because Fea might do all that stuff anyway. She does come across as a bit.....well, a bit much, if you'll follow me. Plus, if I may take the chance to use a line they always use against me: "We're gonna lynch her anyway, might as well do it now!"

(That wasn't serious, by the way.)

Oh, Kit. That hurts me. Is it because I said you'd make an ace EW pick? I'll forgive you: SPM and Naria's doom must still be hurting you.

Diamond's thoughts on Azaelia are interesting. I will go to scour these words...

Catching up after a meeting and I'm on post 443 and I have a couple of things to say.

But when it's really the only thing you've done it looks a lot more suspcious in my mind.

Regarding Eomer's theory it appears to be more or less what I said about him doesn't it. In essence he thinks Fea might be because she's spoken about the EW a lot. I don't think it's convincing but it's worth considering. I pride myself on being able to assess Fea well enough and I think her likely innocent currently.

I'll stop here and comment again.

Valier whatever we think of Roa it's not fair to include a quote from the narration into our discussion. LMP wouldn't give away any hints about the status of anybody so please do not use this as any evidence.

Ok, Ok I won't use the narration against her....I know LMP is not daft, but where does it say that we may not use the narration? I found other odd things by Roa besides the narration though.

DO NOT USE THE NARRATIONS AS CLUES. CLUES DON'T EXIST IN THE NARRATIONS.

Well, that took a long time to get through

I must admit that further consideration, along with the points people have made in my absence, have changed my mind about my major suspects. I don't really know what to think about Eomer. As for Lommy, her posts toDay seemed calm and considering.

I don't see Alcarillo or Fea as that wolvish-looking. They've both come under fire for some in-character posting, and I just don't suspect them for that. So they're not on my suspect list for toDay.

So, current suspects... It's already been pointed out that Zali was rather eager to jump on the Eomer bandwagon, though that may just have been bad timing, since she had to vote early.

Diamond's posts, despite what she may say, have seemed overly-confident in her theories. She's backed off about them now, though.

My lorebooks only tell of Roa as a wolf, so I don't have much to go by as to her ordinary-villager behavior. But her vehement attack against Nogrod yesterDay could very well have been an EW bluff.

Those three are my suspects right now, though I really must go back over toDay's posts. Some of them I only had time to skim so far...
