First off, I will probably be voting mormegil. But first, I want to deliver the promised analyses and see if anything sways my mind. Indeed, Naria's silence, along with many others, has not left the back of mind for some time. Nor has Gil's vote for wayne. But a personal analysis is always the best analysis, and I want to find out exactly why these people are being killed today.
All this is coming. Firstly, I wish to post my suspicions of mormegil and lay them open to the entire village.
This post constitutes my first attack on morm. Here follow the main points:

Good reasoning. And here we seen morm's knee-jerk reaction, without even the pretence of an explanation.

I have repeatedly mentioned the fact that he gave no real reasons for suspecting her. He either says "Something isn't sitting right" or "I don't have time to explain" or some such thing, and when asked plainly, refuses to answer. So, morm:
Why did you vote Cailin?
I pointed out that Cailin's comment that allegedly influenced the lynching of Shelob...

Shelob's vote for Garin stands out and so does Glirdan’s vote for SpM, but not in a way that makes me immediately think them wolvish.

...is something that all villagers say, with variations, all the time. To single this out and base an entire attack on this seem illogical.

Cailin did not explicitly state so. Morm implies that Cailin stated it. Furthermore, he seems unable to appreciate that Cailin posted a synopsis of what I had said - she did not present my analyses, but their conclusions. One sees quality thinking from me
here, for example. Though other posts do not offer detailed analysis, they ask sensible questions.
He votes for Cailin when she has said explicitly that she will not be able to return, and so cannot form a defence.

Not as overtly as many think SpM is but more dangerously. She hasn't really committed herself to any one thing but seems to want to influence us and sow the seeds of confusion.

Proof? Analysis? Anything? Just general feelings. The entire point of being an innocent, by the way, is to influence discussion.

Observation? A bit of a scientific word to use, considering the evidence you present.

My suspicions of Cailin I have posted and stand behind them. She's had a fairly innocuous track record on voting and what she says is moderately insightful but noncommittal.
|
Suspicions not backed by quotation or any evidence. And it seems a little extreme voting for somebody simply because they balancedly analyse everything everybody says.
Quote:
Me subtle? Perish the thought. Show me where I have been subtle. It's not a trait I possess. And as far as my responses to your queries go, I thought I'd addressed this multiple times, but it appears as you are being intentionally obtuse and don't want to understand, which is odd because I believe you innocent and this seems wolfish behavior to me. Let me clarify that I do not think you a wolf but I don't understand your seemingly intentional desire to misunderstand everything I say.
|
Perhaps subtle was not the best word to use. You simply influenced the village, whether they realised it or not, because you're loud and generally trusted to analyse soundly. Yet look at the unanswered questions above; clearly you have not addressed them several times as I keep pursuing the subject.
In conclusion, I quote myself:

And that is what your entire argument against Cailin comes down to! Through the last two days, all you can state is a bad feeling, and dress it up with minor attacks that could be applied to anybody!
