I also see Lhuna as being unlikely as Shelob, and it's because her and I haven't played together very often/recently, and I know that sounds odd. Though she could have been the person stung from the beginning.

I am trusting you wilwa because of what you say there in the quote (see the bolded part), which you said already back then. You were the only one to counter the idea that Lhuna was saved/healed by Sam. Having looked at your consequent actions from that perspective have made me more confident of it. tp's actions - and him turning out Frodo made it obvious. So that should be quite common knowledge right now.

Actually I think it would have been against the best interests of the baddies to try and bring trust to you forwards in the open as it would lessen - if not deny - their chances of lynching you. Shelob and spiderlings would stay quiet about you or try to get you lynched.

I do hope you had more to say than hunch or feel you seem to refer to with Lhuna, Fea and partly even me. It's very hard to me to follow your lead if you play it that way.

PS. What in the Lottie / tp affair you do not understand? It is perfectly clear. Even if tp disapproves if not everyone takes his every great idea as self evident truth, you could use your own mind as well as we need to catch baddies here. (Sorry, but I hear tp talking behind your words)

EDIT-ADD: heh, I just realised where your suspicion comes from... Oh my. So having brains and cababilities of inference makes you suspect of knowing things like only one would know. Blah. Well, then you guys are better off without me... or then please start playing.

I strongly disagree. It would be better to have everyone trust me, and then have me trust Shelob (therefore having everyone trust Shelob, and making her invincible). So I'm not trusting anyone, unless I have very very good reasons.

It's not hunch, I have reasons, but I have no choice but to label them as hunches since I can't share my reasons.

A situation that occurs often in this game that makes no sense to me: "Oh I suspect this person A, so I'm going to lynch this other person B, who A trusts, in order to shed more light on A, instead of just lynching A themselves". That's sort of rediculous. You guys lynched Lottie for the pure reason of finding out more about Phantom. Why not just lynch Phantom and find out quicker?

JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT I AND YOU SAID! That phantom could have been Frodo as well! Too much risk involved as giving you a chance to speak with him could be valuable. (If his advice to you is this... then we should have lynched him and his pride and have Lottie with us)

*frustration*

EDIT: X'd with wilwa.

Oh my. Well, your choice.

Calm, now, my children. Deep breaths. And cake. Obviously cake.

Um, I'm pretty sure I never said Lottie didn't suspect Inzil. I'm saying there was no real chance of lynching Inzil yesterday, so it struck me as odd that Lottie would be so gung-ho about jumping on my random suspicion. It looked like she was agreeing with whatever I said. I don't really see a problem with my reasoning.

Also, Lhuna, doesn't calling me "defensive" remind you of a story about a pot and a kettle?

Shastanis Althreduin · 05-13-2011, 01:57 PM

And where's Fea, anyway? It's hardly fair to single me out for being a 'submarine' - I'm certainly not the only one. Both times I didn't vote, I told Sally why, and they were valid reasons, so...
