Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXVI - Úcenite Valto

[Nogrod]

I took a quick skim over Estelyn and looked also Roa's bit on her. I think that from Roa's points the one calling attention to Esty's trust on tp is noteworthy whereas her point on Estelyn bandwaggoning is a bit more hazy... it looks to me more an evil eye cast on her than Estelyn being so suspicious on that particular thing.

The points Roa made about her frothiness, "Newbie defence", one-liners, pessimism about logic, lending the points of others... Well I can't see them as actual points to suspect her. The load of it makes one think, surely, but anyhow.

What Roa did was something I have called "A Devil's Advocate" -view over someone. Looking at someone's posting with the evil eye, trying to see any suspicious things you could find and gathering them to a summary. She has done that before, and I have done those - not to speak of the master of the art Spawn... I guess we all have done those as both innocents and villains. So making of them does not make one suspicious, but the reactions to them do count.

But then again, after that was posted I think a few important things happened. More important ones that were included in Roa's analysis - the reactions, as I said. And these are why I have started to suspect Estelyn somewhat.

After Roa's analysis tp included Estelyn in his "needs to be examined closely" -list with Di. Then Esty came in and changed her way of play considerably by starting to give different scenarios from where to look and even included tp in her lists (only mentioning him as among those who voted for Eomer, but that was possibly the first time she mentioned tp without saying she trusts him!).

And she continues by analysing Spm (girl's who just wanna have fun don't go analysing Spm of all possible people!). And just after a while she goes to say about tp:

always to be taken seriously as a possible threat.

Quite noteworthy might also be the fact that after she had been notified about her change of attitude she readjusted again, bringing lighter jokes in her posting - but still she seems to be wholeheartedly taking part by casting suspicion over already suspected targets, mainly Spm as he has been suspected the most after herself toDay.

Also this should be noted, although it's an old story, it should be quoted in its entirety here:

Well, I think I was chosen mainly because I so seldom participate in WW games, the trophy bird of paradise in Fea's glass menagerie, so to speak. That keeps this game from being a collection of the usual suspects, who have all played with or against each other many times. Perhaps she thought that would make me less calculable for the strategic experts...

Would an innocent say it this way?

She surely tops my suspicion list this far.

But I will be coming with some thoughts about others in a moment.
