I knew it, but it still hurts.

Lhuna, rest easy. I know what this game must have cost you (judging by what it is still costing me – my sanity) and though I feel rather lost without you, I am glad you can finally be at peace.

Okay. Menel was the Ranger. The key is to keep breathing. I feel endlessly stupid and dungheaded of course, but I thought Menel was a safe choice, also because he once explicitly stated to be simply an innocent villager. And yesterDay I got this strange feeling that Amanaduial might have been the Apprentice. Besides, I was reluctant to let go of one of the few very vocal players left. But not anymore.

I was rather torn this morning, whether I should completely change my views or whether I should stick with the old ones. Thinking rationally, the choice was easy. I am not swaying. There is little chance we can build a convincing case against one of the silent ones who have not yet been under much suspicion. If the wolf pair is Rune and Farael, we shall not find out anymore. It’s too risky and they have played too well. However, if Amanaduial or Malkatoj does turn out to be a wolf and we let them slip now, I think we shall forever hate ourselves. Surely even these two must understand this, if not of herself, if they are innocent, I’m sure they feel the same way about the other.

I have seen this happening before. I have read about it. A 180-degree turn just as you are starting to get to the bottom of it, is never a good idea. Just read some of the older legends – especially with the name sounding similar to my own -, and you will see what I am talking about. And yesterDay and the Day before that, I changed my mind right before voting each time. Bad plan. So I’m not going to change my mind anymore. In my view, Amanaduial and Malkatoj must die before the end.

Starting with Malkatoj. Of the two, she seems the most wolvish and is besides the least interesting to keep around, seeing that Amanaduial contributes far more to the general discussion. Whatever happens, whether she claims to be Eru himself or whatever, my vote is for Malkatoj toDay and I shall not let myself be deluded again. What say you?
