Tol-in-Gaurhoth LXIX: Were-Librarians

[Macalaure]

Boro and Form dead... that means a lot of analysing work toDay. I'm happy that both were quite occupied with me yesterDay. Since I know what I am, I can skip all that.

I still wonder about the wilwa-kill. Since Boro pulled two tricks to flush out gifteds, the librarians are very aware how dangerous those are. But why did they think wilwa could be gifted? Maybe they're applying more than one strategy at a time...

I wouldn't be surprised if they killed Form because the snitch gave them the name.

Let's analyse Boro and Form then:

Day1:

The openness of this statement, encouraging Nerwen's voters (Sally among them) to elaborate instead of dissuading people, gives me even more confidence in Nerwen's innocence.

Boro votes autume. Now, this could easily be lib-on-lib, however, coupled with the wilwa-kill - maybe the objective was simply not to kill the snitch? I do feel moderately better about autume now. I'm not sure what to think of Boro's "Why do you think autume is guilty then?" on Day2.

Form mainly pursues Hakon and defends Nienna on Day1.

Day2:

Boro is friendly with Fea throughout, suggesting to me that he's trying to win her unexpected trust, but I'm not sure.

He said Nienna looks most innocent, but he couldn't have otherwise - it was obvious. He's worried about Form's vote for Hakon, could be both an attempt to make Form look bad and one to defend Hakon.

#168 has to be treated with care, since Boro was already under pressure and made this post to appear helpful. Nerwen, Shasta and Nienna are innocent to him, but the reasons are so obvious that this doesn't change anything. He feels ok about Hakon, but is still watching him (keeping him innocent yet in nowhere-land makes me slightly suspicious). Autume and Brinn are getting a pass for not being there (watchworthy). He tries to set up alonariel as a scapegoat, which makes her look innocent.

He then picks up a point of Hakon against Form, making Hakon look worse.

The exchange between Boro and Brinn looks to me like Boro is trying to figure out whether Brinn is the snitch.

Form is almost totally immersed in the Boro-Mac thing at first, then strongly goes after Brinniel.

I daresay that Brinniel is one of the two the remaining lover will surely dream of, and I think it's a good choice.


Now, the votes:

Nessa -> Brinn (no reason to suspect)
Hakon -> Alona (very suspicious since it's after Boro brought her up as a scapegoat, then again, it's before any votes for Boro)
Mac -> Boro
Nienna -> autume (no reason to suspect)
Fea -> Nessa (not sure what to think)
Form -> Brinn
Brinn -> Brinn (peculiar)
Boro -> Alona
Alona -> Boro (makes her look very innocent)
Shasta -> Boro (same)
Boro --Alona -> Brinn
Brinn --Brinn -> Alona (suspicious, of course)


Bottom line:

Suspicious (in order):

Hakon (see above)
Brinn (I don't think she's a librarian, because if she were, I'm sure the plan to save Boro would have worked. She's a top snitch candidate, though. Form would be Brinn's natural choice to make the librarians dream of.)
Autume (some evidence looks suspicious, some innocent)
Fea (I've been wondering why she's been so friendly with Boro, but that's all I have against her)
Nessa (simply because nothing exonerates her)

Innocent (without order):

Nerwen
Nienna
Shasta
Alona
