How are we supposed to come up with suggestions for Tom Bombadil if we shouldn't look for the Barrow-Wight? You're amusing, Little Lottie.

But really, knowing that the wolves attacked the Wight Night 1 is actually a pretty big piece of information for us. I don't see why we shouldn't pursue it.

I didn't mean we shouldn't pursue it, I meant we shouldn't make that the focus of our lynch. It is a huge bit of information, and we shouldn't ignore it, but TBW can't actually kill any of us, so I think we should try to lynch a wolf, not TBW. But thanks for thinking I'm amusing.

Lottie, you seem OK to me.

I'm voting
++Eomer

Eomer's behavior strikes me as cobblerish, or he could be a wolf or a wight. Or he could be innocent. I don't know, but I'd bet he's bad. I'm gonna flip flop some more and say that Volo seems OK to me after further consideration. I think he's just a little off his game.

I probably won't post any more toDay. I have to work past the deadline and I'd better get some sleep. Bye.

Thoughts on Nogrod.
It's reasonable that Nogrod is going to defend himself against my king's little theory about him being the BW. Odd, though, that the part of #133 he attacks is not the confusing bit where Shasta seems to be arguing that "Seer" Nog saying Agan was a cobbler would somehow point to her as a wolf, but rather this:

What do you think? "Why bother checking that guy out who impersonates me..." Really? So whoever the BW is s/he would do really bad trying to look like a seer as there is a real one to check that out - and to feel very uncomfortable with it.
That's just plain weird, coming from a veteran like Nogrod, who knows perfectly well that there's a long history of other roles impersonating the Seer. He's arguing for the improbability of something that happens all the time. (Yes, I know Shasta has already drawn attention to this, but really, I think it needs more.)

EDIT:X'd with Elf-warrior.

Interesting theory on Nogrod. Probably worth checking out; all this means is that we let Tom go after him tonight and see what happens. Until then, ignore Nogrod. Agreed?

Actually, this comment would be very convenient for Eomer of the Wights:

Because however suspicious Nog might be, I have a hard time seeing him post comments that can be interpreted seerish (I'm mainly speaking about his being certain I'm the cobbler) and thus luring the wolves, or ruffling so many feathers (yes, I have lots of them ) if his primary goal was to survive.

As far as I can tell, Eomer didn't say anything of substance (like I said earlier). He voted Agan for talking a lot. He's probably on the lower side of 'likely', regarding that list, but I'd still put him there, myself

Which would point to Aganwolf, of course. If she's not a wolf, though, I'm not so sure the wolves would pick Eomer, as he looks quite cobblerish. As does Agan, the person potentially framed by his death. (Unless he supposedly dreamed Agan as a cobbler, cf Shasta's Nogwight theory.)

EDIT:X'd with Eomer; added comment.
