Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXII: Hic Monstrae Trucidant - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Mithalwen · 06-03-2006, 05:12 AM

Well I give up on anyone ever believing me since Mith is widely regarded as being somewhere between flaky and barking mad and whatever I do is usually regarded as suspicious wheter it be stats, or hunches, but he simple fact is, that as an innocent, I don't have a clue what is going on... and my cluelessness increases rather than the reverse which is disappointing.

I, perhaps, stupidly did a last flip back before logging off after voting last night. Also stupidly considering my own experience as a mod, I didn't expect such a last minute flurry of activity. My vote for Caran was justifiable .. she admits she had tried ot look suspicious but I wasn't entirely happy with it. But it was late, I wanted to get home. So it would have to do. Then I flip back and LMP reminds me of a certain episode in recent history. It occurs that I have been good at spotting SpM as a cobbler .. when he doesn't know the score .... and that if he did know who was who because he was a wolf he might seem more innocent.

So LMP comes along, speaks with such certainty that I decide on a whim to go along. Caranlondien's fate seemed assured already so I thought it would be interesting to see how SPM reacted to a bit of suspicion ...possibly more helpful than a more or less unanimous vote for Caranlondien.

I didn't really expect the lynching to change and it hadn't occured that Caran was the hunter. It is probably better we have lost an ordo though an "outed" Hunter has little more power than an ordo since the woves won't touch em.

Cailin, thanks for the backhanded compliment I think... I am not acting less clever than I am... I am sorry my heart isn't in it as much as usual. I am so tired thanks to yet more upset preventing a decent nights sleep again that I feel that I am not functioning well - in the new mother or a junior doctor league. I still want to see it through but part of me would be relieved.

I am a baffled, tired and re ordo at the moment. I have posted openly my thoughts and opinions, possibly tactically stupid but at least I am out there. Why shouldn't I U-Turn? I never claimed ot be Mrs Thatcher. I don't know who is who, the wolves do, the gifteds may. I am neither. If someone seems to know something defineite why is it alarming to give them a chance? As I said it is a dangerous claim to make...

All right, Mith.

Whom do you suspect now?

Wish I knew ..I have to reread and I left my notes at home but since things have changes so much that may not be a bad thing.

Easier to say that I don't suspect you or Nogrod at this point .... you both seem yourselves. But familiarity is a dangerous thing. Morm reads me perfectly again but that doesn't mean he isn't guilty.

I have no reason to doubt Caran's claim.

Going to read through.
