Yes, I saw that after I had posted. 4 times a Seer! What's going on? Indeed, you have only been an ordo in about a quarter of your games, you lucky thing ...

For those of you calling on me not to be so modest, I accept that my analysis following Rune's death was breathtaking in its brilliance.

Problem is, it was the only analysis that I really had a chance to do, and even then I managed to almost completely misapply it. So it is not so much modesty as deserved self-criticism.

I am, at least, glad that I decided to trust Glirdan, TGWBS and Durelin (although a game where Durelin and I were not at each others' throats was somewhat disconcerting). Not so glad that I decided to trust Lal ...

Kath, I mean it when I label you the Mistress of Damning Analysis. Your analysis of Glirdan was a masterpiece of painting him in the worst light possible, while sounding entirely reasonable, and was probably what sealed his fate. And your analysis of me, while less aggressive in its accusations (most probably because of what I had said earlier in the Day) was wonderfully subtle in suggesting my (non-existent) Wolfishness. Again, it seems to have played a major pat in my downfall. I could have responded to it in detail, but alas the England v Portugal match was calling. Extremely skillful (and productive) work, though.

Mind you, Diamond's analysis of me was a pretty good hatchet job too, and she was innocent. Just goes to show that you can use practically anything a player says to paint them a Wolf if (as a Wolf) you want to or if (as an innocent) you believe them to be Wolfish. Then again, I already knew that from my own time as a Wolf.

Frustratingly, we were all pretty much on the right track as far as Gurthang was concerned, and yet always seemed to find supposedly better (and decidedly more innocent) suspects to hang at the end of the day. Which is largely down to Gurth's own efforts, given that most (if not all) of his votes came from those who knew him to be a Wolf. So less of the modesty from you, Plankmeister. You done well, m'boy.

Don't I just know it! And that is precisely why I thought you most likely innocent. Although I do have a proverbial bone to pick with you. Your plaintiff cry for me to be lynched as you were yourself led to the gallows was most disturbing ...

Finally, one more bone to pick - with those who labelled me (and, indeed, Eomer) as far too dangerous to be allowed to live in case we were Wolves and/or who pedalled the oft-repeated theory that I become more suspicious the longer I live. It hardly gives me much of a chance as an innocent, does it ...?
