The thing I am the most certain of is that everyone was up for grabs by the wererwolves tonight. Including the phantom. He himself predicted this. Why wasn't he killed? For the werewolves, even if they reached the conclusion the phantom is not gifted, he would still be viewed as an important asset to the villagers. His reasoning is logical, and most of us have the tendency to follow his lead, don't we? Even if we start by arguing against him, we're not likely to hold that position for long, right, Fea?

The reason he gave for him not getting killed (that he was going to be lynched the next day) does not sit well with me. Why would the werewolves risk a certain murder over an uncertain lynching? Because no one can predict for certain who will be lynched the next day, whether they're villagers or werewolves, nor can they predict the general way the accusations will be headed the next day. Unless of course, the werewolves are loudmouths whose aim is to lead the crowd towards voting for a certain someone.

So, if Eomer is a werewolf, he would have to gain support from people who would be as certain of the phantom's guilt as he is. But I don't really see this happening and the deadline is fast approaching. In fact, all is see is people as uncertain of the phantom's innocence as I am. I tend to see more people leaning towards Eomer being guilty, which will make it more certain that he gets lynched than the phantom.

Now, a big part of me tends to think they are both innocent, with nothing but a subjective feeling to support this.

Anyway, I will not vote for either of them. I will vote for ++ Lalaith which is more of a strategical vote than a 100 % suspicion and hope more people will come to vote. Still half an hour to go and some of you promised they'd be here.

EDIT: Oh God, y'all should lynch me for being dumb.

I should check Celuien's link to time zones, because apparently it's much earlier than I thought....there's plenty of time to go still...*curses poor time orientation* Well, anyway, my vote and reasoning are not affected by this minor (though dumb!

) oversight.
