WWJ IX: Psychotic Penguins: The Crossing of Helcaraxë

[Kitanna]

Anguirel's last post is what I like to see. Mainly because it sheds a bit of light on him. Anguirel is extremely quiet when he's evil, making one or two posts a day and slipping under everyone's radar. So far he's made four posts, which is more then he'd have made as an evil. His defense also speaks pretty well of him. However there are also a few posts that Anguirel brought up in his last post that worry me as well.

The stringest criteria for my choices were simply the ones that caught my interest. I might as well criticise you for not examining Firefoot and Roa-though in fact I'm not going to do so. I was saying as much as I could and what I genuinely thought, not just some vain controversy-courting gauntlet-chuck challenge. Seems it didn't pay off.

Though Anguirel makes a reasonable point about Spawn focusing on him and not Firefoot and Roa. He says he won't make a case of it, but he brings it forward twice so that no one forgets Spawn went for him and not the other two. A reasonable post, but a bit of it feels like him trying to throw the suspicions off himself and onto Spawn.

Yes, that's what I said, and I meant it. Unlike the redoubtable phantom, I don't instantaneously see a case against anyone I choose to accuse. Now (as with Saucy in an earlier adventure) I suspect phantom but am damned if I can justify my fears. He's just as usual; indeed predictable.
...
I brought up that phantom theory because the phantom, as I said, is enormously predictable and having seen him wave about his tired old Seer hint plan, crafted many, many moons ago, I was interested in whether he was sticking with the rest of his usual manifesto too. I was sort of carrying out a preemptive strike against those smug flourishes of his that we all know and love.
vote early, but will attempt to round off some fairly token reasoning.

Once again he brings up the phantom and his natural distrust for him. Seems like overkill, he made it clear he doesn't trust the phantom in his first few posts, but he brings it up too often for comfort. We all have certain players we distrust because of what has happened in the past, but there is no need to reinstate that point in almost all one's posts.

Now Anguirel's defense of himself and his talkative nature show him in an innocent light. But throwing Spawn's suspicions of him onto her and his constant phantom points give him a more guilty façade.

I know this is against my interests, Kitanna, but actually that's piffle. I've been cursed twice and on both occasions I talked constantly right until I was dragged, flailing, kicking, biting, and howling, to the gallows and the gibbet-the only exceptions being when I was away.

I always talk a lot, I think. Not Lommyesque quantities, but quite a lot nonetheless. I'm a sort of middleweight loudmouth.

Oh, and that stuff about dragging Spawnowen through the coals about Firefoot and Roa and then disingenuously claiming I wasn't accusing her for it is a good sighting by you, but it was, sort of, intended as a joke. Basically it means I've been struggling with too much [Latin] oratory today. Cicero, er, Feanor, uses that technique all the time in his polemics...

Mentioning the phantom a lot. Well, how could I not. I mean, he is Eru, isn's he?

Hmmmm I just noticed this...Phantom are you aware that you have again placed an arrow in your posts? Are you trying to make yourself look good? Or is this a plan to make people think you are gifted? Sorry but I find that weird. I think You would indeed make a good and well played stinky Cobbler! The things you say sound good, so people tend to follow you, and adding the arrow again to your posts, suggests you are false in some way.
