Tol-in-Gaurhoth CXIV – The Evil Breath of Morgoth in Dor-lómin, game thread

[Macalaure]

There isn't much in her first few posts, aside from some general musing. I pointed out her defense of Huin in #135 before. Knowing he was evil and I am not, I cannot see this as not suspicious. Right after that, she casts some suspicious light on him and Lommy. In her big list in #164 she keeps the spotlight on Lommy, but gets fluffy on Huin:

Later she talks some about the things surrounding Gala and looked at Kitanna and found her mostly innocent. All good and well. In #206 she turns on me and then shortly after votes for me.

I'm biased here, obviously, but I really don't think my post had the merit of "the single most suspicious thing". Also, "the single most suspicious thing" clashes quite a bit with "maybe flimsy". If what I did was so suspicious, then why call the suspicion flimsy in the same sentence??


Starts Day2 with solid contributions, then goes off on me and Brinn. A key point in her suspicion is that she's under the assumption that we both mean the wolves killed Rikae only to frame one of us. This is fair enough, as at this point neither of us explicitly stated that that's not the only thing to it, I think.

The way she focuses as we get closer to the deadline worries me. Yes, innocents can make up their mind stubbornly and single-mindedly push for their candidates once it gets to voting, but the vibe I get is just sinister. She repeats the same things without taking in anything new. Greenie and Lommy made very similar cases against me, put compare Greenie's handling of it to Lommy's. Then again, I do understand how lack of time can make one act like this. Unfortunately, that's what lack of time does to wolves, too.

Her vote comes when the rising suspicion against Huin was in the air, but the first vote had not been cast yet, so her vote by itself is not too problematic.


ToDay she admits to her tunnel-vision. Fair enough. She backs off of me and Brinn, largely because she over-committed before. I could see both an innocent or a wolf doing this.

Incorrect. This is by the time I got to make that list. I turned on him right after he made his post linking me and Inzil. He made several posts, acknowledging my suspicion in one, between that and his vote.

Greenie's main suspects in her list (outside of Brinn and me) are Sally and Inzil, who are pretty much universally suspected by everyone, it seems, so that's a fairly safe thing to do.

The rest of her posts toDay all seem fair and helpful, though the explanation of her vote to Legate seems a bit wolfish. Wolves pre-think how their votes can be made to sound all reasonable before the Day starts, and I get a bit of that vibe there.


In conclusion, much of my suspicion of her is based on her behavior towards me, so at any rate I understand why others wouldn't be picking up the same vibe. She's not as glaringly evil as I thought, but she still gives me major heebie-jeebies.


(Boro has been odd all game, and if nothing else, his vote alone warrants a closer look, so that's where I'm headed next.)
