WWJ IX: Psychotic Penguins: The Crossing of Helcaraxë

[Anguirel]

Right. Well, I do share some of Boromir's concerns about Lalaith. She's in an extremely neutral position. She grandly, but quite languidly, sanctioned dancing spawn's angle on my nefariousness (though considerate as ever she was prepared to factor in IRL) and then casts a rather wide net:

However, she's fishing in a pretty wide sea, after all, so perhaps she can be excused. Unless my metaphor turns out to be literal and pinquoid, of course, ho ho.

The thing about me being "one of nature's Cobblers" stung rather, I confess. But I shouldn't let that affect my actions unduly.

Neither am I going to vote for the phantom. I do not condemn him, only his Master Plans, which Macalaure has proved adept at ripping apart. I don't much like plans. Particularly at this stage.

I will probably vote for Eonwe or Kitanna-decision and reasoning pending.

EDIT: Kitanna-just a guess-did you confuse me with Formendacil? We are actually twins separated at birth, y'know.

Valier, tp almost always uses the arrow in his posts.

Right. My case on Kitanna was basically founded on her way of being-like Lalaith actually, but at greater length-a backer, not a starter. She qualifies and hedges and does not greatly disagree with those going before her. I also thought she might be obscuring truths with layers of theory, but it's dawned on me she just made a couple of mistakes.

So with little time to lose I am going to have to vote for Eonwe with the shoddy justification of his quietness. I really must dash soon or I won't get any supper-I'll try to get back before the deadline and possibly retract but I fear it will be tricky.

Better a pretty lame vote than no vote at all, eh?

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.

That caught my eye too. Actually, more interesting to me is that Spawn brought up Roa and myself in the first place at that point... I only had one post, and it wasn't exactly a very weighty one either. Not exactly much to look at. There might be more now, I suppose, but not much... as Anguirel noted, I'm sort of in observation mode at the moment. Day 3 is usually about when I start getting it in gear, maybe Day 2 if the village has been active.

But you are assuming randomness, and that simply does not hold. An iceberger does not, perhaps, know anything, but neither are we incapable of intelligent analysis. The more information we have to work with, the higher the chance of being correct in our analyses. And each innocent revealed by death increases the real information we have, and makes analysis even stronger. I have great faith in the power of these icebergers!!

Exactly. And it's a lot easier to pick out an innocent than a penguin.

[Macalaure]

Jenny, I got the counting wrong. You're right, it's 11/14 and the second day it's 8/11 then, because you can't pick the same twice. But that's even worse actually. Enough of that.

Why does Ang vote for the silent Eonwe, when Enca has been even more silent?
