It's fairly quiet currently so I figured I would put forward my general impressions of people.


Diamond-- Based on the list we have of whom Roa chose Diamond could fit into that mold. It was obvious also that Roa didn't hesitate to vote for her wolves and she fought frequently with Diamond.

Dancing Spawn of Ungoliant--According to my Lore Books she should be a bit more helpful and insightful. She has had her posts but generally less active than is her wont

Kath--Makes a fearsome wolf or duck but she can be a good asset if she is on our side as well. I don't have the feeling that she's guilty though.

Glirdan--Fairly irrelevant as he will most likely die due to silence so unless he comes around I don't think he's a wolf.

Sleepy Ranger--Would Roa have chosen another silent type? It's rather possible, he is on my watch list and has been for a couple of days but I'd like to hear more from him.

Kitanna--She seems innocent as of late but came through a fairly decent wave of suspicion after that she started contributing. I lean that she is an innocent who had very little time at the start of this affair and now has more time to contribute.

Oddwen--Despite her odd behavior she seems to slip under everybody's radar. It would be a bold move for Roa to chose her but an intelligent one as well as most of us have somewhat forgotten about Oddwen, though her name is spoken from time to time.

Feanor--*sigh* I don't know what to say other than she's the most difficult person to read. Usually I end up saying that we should just lynch her so she's not around to confuse us any more but if she's innocent then we loose one more villager and we are not in great shape currently.

Zali--Another I think could be guilty and would fit the Modus Operandi of Roa. She choose those middle to quiet villagers that were a bit controversial but perhaps she added a talkative one in the mix too...Diamond or Fea but Valier was loud too.

Jenny Hallu--Daughter I would certainly like to hear more from you. I would hate to condemn my daughter to the gallows but I believe that you are innocent but I think I should like to have a look at your posts if I have time.

Lalaith--Has seemed innocent to me for a long time and it hasn't changed. So unless she was converted last night I'm thinking innocent as well.

Eonwe--Really should be dead and probably will be soon along with Glirdan. The only problem is that he is probably innocent and we will loose yet another villager. I implore the quiet ones to step forward and contribute otherwise we stand very little chance of victory.

Eomer--I've always kept a slight suspicion of him. Roa may have thought that he'd make such a horrible wolf choice (Eomer said so himself) that she would do it because who better than the worst pick. Does that make sense? Essentially it's so unlikely that he'd be chosen that in fact he was. But to be honest I really haven't felt much suspicion of him since the first day or two.

What I think is that the quiet villagers really need to help out so they don't have misfortune or suicide to hamper our chances of success. We can beat these wolves but it will take the participation of everybody to do so. Ideally we get a wolf today so there is only 1 kill tonight otherwise our number will be down by 3 innocents instead of 1.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Roa chose Diamond. Think about it... Di is perfectly strong-willed enough to yell back when Roa starts getting nippy. T'would be a most wonderful bluff...

And morm... I don't try to be difficult... I just am.

Oh my gosh!! My mother was the evil one!! Holy cow!! This hurts!! I can't believe she killed her own daughters!! My poor sisters...I shall miss you dearly...

However, I am quite pleased that Gurthang took down my mother and her ability to curse us. Mother, I loved you dearly. But now, may you rot in the Void with Morgoth.

Now to find the rotten Wolves who did this to my family...

I will be helping as much as I can toDay. However, tomorrow (as in Wednsday) I will have no way of helping out as I have to leave for the Day. If the Watchers (coughMODGODcough) allows it, I will return the Day after and help find the rest of these fiends.

You know, this little plot wouldn't surprise me. I had no idea how kiniving my mother could be and who knows, this could have been another one of her dark little secrets. My poor father...what will he say when he finds out about mother?

Anyway, as I was saying...What was I saying? Oh! Right. Diamond's family and my family are (or, in my family's case, were) the largest families in this here village. It wouldn't surprise me if mother decided to take Diamond as one of her victims because Diamond would have enough sway over those memebers in her family which is a great population of this village. Think about it.

Wow, is all I have to say about Roa and Gurthang...

But no time to dwell on that. I have a few hours to post because I will have no time tomorrow (RL time) and I'm going to need to vote early. The problem is I'm pretty sure most people will not have a chance to speak before I have to vote, but I'd rather vote early then not at all.

I've voiced a little bit of suspicion for both of them, though it was never much more than a nagging feeling. Given my lack of time today I'm going to look over their posts and see what I can come up with.

I'm in the curious position of not feeling much like defending myself against any suspicions... perhaps because most of them revolve around who Roa would pick. She didn't want me, but there's positively no way for me to prove that so I probably shouldn't waste what might possibly be my last day alive doing that. I have this plan where I'm going to scour Roa's posts for clues as to who she picked as wolves, and if/when I die and am proved innocent you can all look back at my thoughts and possibly find them useful. The only problem right now is that Roa has so many frickin' posts that I'm feeling a bit of ennui at the thought of scouring them all. But, as it gets later in the night and my grip on sanity lessens (I always do my best thinking after midnight), I shall endeavor to do my best.

Diamond I believe this is a wise course of action and I endeavor to do the same but am daunted by the sheer volume of posts but to hear you say that Roa had a lot of post in a complaining fashion is a bit comical

What can I say. I find writing posts to be far easier than reading them.

Indeed, I was just thinking the same about you Diamond. It's a daunting task to go over Roa's and Diamond's posts tonight. But luckily I was able to look into Oddwen's.

Quote:
Oddwen=
I don't believe I'll be voting today, because I haven't found a reason to see anyone suspicious enough to warrant one, and because I won't be back to vote.
I find this odd and I wonder how I managed to miss it on Day One or even Day Two. I understand the not being around to vote because of RL issues, but it seems she didn't really put in much of an effort in trying to pick someone. Maybe not to vote for, but atleast give an opinion about.
Quote:
Oddwen=
++LALAITH

Because she never really loved me! And for a few things that Spawn pointed out, and a few little hunches of my own.
Oddwen's Day Two vote, I think I commented on this before as being a weird move. She says one other thing that day and sort of pops up again with a random vote and little reasoning behind it. It felt like she was making up for her non-vote the first day and just sort of grabbed someone who had one vote already and a little bit of gaining suspicion. She never really gave any reaosn beyond that that day because she had to go.
Quote:
Oddwen=
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.
A reasonable reason for not giving much at the time of her vote, yet still she doesn't really expand on it. Giving an example of what Spawn had said would have been helpful indeed.
Quote:
Oddwen=
Right now I'm looking at Celuien and Firefoot.
More suspicions with no backing behind them.
Quote:
Oddwen=
Alc, I think, is acting weird for Alc
Fea is acting pretty normal for Fea
I really wish Oddwen would explain herself. I know RL conflicts get in the way, but I would hope she woould have a few minutes to spare to give a quck reason as to why she suspects who she does.
Quote:
Oddwen=
Fea's maundering...you like the word, you're the maundering mage, therefore Fea = You, if you're evil she is too...that's what I was thinking.
I missed out on the whole maundering thing, so this just has me flat out confused.

Alright, Oddwen would have been a good choice because there were mild suspicions of her and I think on Day Two she managed a few votes (not going to check the voting record now). But after that she just sort of fell out. She posted rarely and no one really said anything about her. That makes her a good wolf choice, however I wonder if her silence has anything to do with becoming a wolf.

Alcarillo was a wolf and after Day Two he just sort of laid low. Oddwen had the same sort of posting record. She posted once or twice on the first two days and then sort of faded in and out never really contributing much. But I wonder if Roa would pick two villagers with the same type of habits.

I really need to go lie down, but I'll be on in a few hours to cast my vote. Hopefully I'll be able to look at some of Diamond and Roa's posts.
