Please excuse the extreme length of this post and be aware that there will be another of similar size following a little later if not two.

Day 1:
Lmp – usual occupation related blather, with a point about buying a knife that brought up suspicions against him later, though these were dropped. Also began the Seer discussion. Disagrees with Glirdan about killing the quiet ones, believing we should look at those who are suspicious and be wary of assuming the wolves will act in a certain way. Fair points. Thinks Aiwendil innocent because of the questions he asked and answers the first one fully, which wouldn’t matter if he is a wolf. His Seer advice seems sound, except for his emphasis on very – we need some clues! Says 5-6 may be spreading the votes too thin but then agrees absolutely with SPM about spreading the votes so long even though SPM just said ‘if that results in a wide field, then so much the better’. Agrees with tar-a about dropping the Seer discussion even though he is the one that started it, then continues with it! Thinks too much clarity might help the wolves. I’m not sure what he means by this but don’t think I’m likely to get an answer toDay. Replies to Anguirel. Thinks there is something a little ‘off’ about SPM. Suspects Boromir and votes for him.

Anguirel – blather. Disagrees with lmp that trying to think like a wolf would is wolvish but agrees about not thinking of the Seers. Claims wolves will act differently depending on their skills, a good point. Thinks Lhuna’s vote odd – but it was random. Supports Glirdan. Disagrees with Eomer over how a wolf would act, reiterating his point about actions being dependent on personal skills. Supports Celuien. Thinks tar-a innocent but Gil guilty. Says Boromir is his most likely target. Votes Boromir. Thinks the voting is now spread quite enough.

Glirdan – wants to get rid of all quiet people (eep!) though I believe that was later explained as a ploy to generate conversation. I don’t like the idea, preferring instead to lynch those I either believe to be wolves or, failing that, those who I feel will be of no help to the village. Some might say that is true of quiet villagers, but as some quiet ones have been known to be the Seer in the past I disagree. However, he does somewhat redeem this statement by claiming he believes one of the wolves would be quiet, so to lynch all the quiet ones would eventually result in catching a wolf. A bit of a drastic measure perhaps, but it may be effective. Votes Gil completely randomly due to time constraints. I think this is fair, it was an early vote and looks random.

Boromir – blather but mentions lmp specifically about not looking to fill his wallet. Seemingly ignoring the fact that Anguirel did the same thing. With the suspicions flying around now it seems possible this was early wolvish communication. The ‘usual . . . too usual’ post, though I find nothing there to be suspicious of, he is making a valid observation. More Seer discussion though it is more just worries. Agrees with spreading the votes and finds something unusual in Lhuna’s behaviour. Chirpiness and junk-filled posts his reasoning. Gripe about how because he works and had little time he is suspected. Suspects Aiwendil and Garin. Votes Gil even though it wasn’t actually necessary to save his life, and though he may not have realised this at the time is certainly is odd.

Tar-a – blather, though claims the wolves would not go near her, perhaps because she is one? Still blather though supporting lmp and Anguirel, but this may be in role. Has a little chat about the Seer and then suggests everyone be quiet about it. A little hypocritical perhaps but a good point. Disagrees with Lhuna somewhat, saying she doesn’t want a village cut in half by opinion. Thinks spawn’s summary was useless (uh oh, what will she think of this!). Can see both SPM and lmp’s point of view about Seer talk, but still believes it should be stopped. Seems to suspect spawn and says she may well vote for her. Says she now understands spawns reasons for summarising and votes Eomer as a random vote though also in case he is a wolf as she’d rather he go earlier than later.

Aiwendil – mentions both lmp and Boromir, maybe a triad? Wants serious discussion so creates a list of questions. Now, to my mind, answering these privately may be of help, but openly publicising them is probably not as the answers, especially those to the first two, would be of more help to the wolves than to the villagers, as they would tell them how NOT to act and how to find Gifted’s. I’m not sure if this is truly suspicious, it may have been an attempt to generate discussion and such things are often talked about, but it is odd. Clarifies his earlier statement about how many villagers to spread the votes over but backs off his earlier certainty, perhaps to stay in line with villagers thoughts. Again more talk about the Seer. Disagrees with SPM that Seer talk aids the wolves. Thinks lmp the most helpful of the day along with Boromir and SPM. Thinks Glirdan’s vote for Gil a ‘safe’ vote for a wolf. Says tar-a is too indecisive, testing out ideas and backing off when they are not well received, which is a fair point. Defends himself against Farael. Thinks Boromir has indeed said much but helped little, but doesn’t see him as suspicious and will likely vote tar-a. Continues to argue with Farael and wonders if he should vote tar-a since the votes are already so spread. Votes tar-a anyway.

SPM – blather but some good points such as getting everyone to talk and spreading the votes. Disagrees with Glirdan on simply lynching quiet people, which I agree with. Is the only one so far to point at both lmp and Anguirel as being opportunistic, which to me makes him look innocent, as I have been worried over those who only pointed out lmp. Answers Aiwendil’s questions but gives vague responses to the first two, again actually making me think him innocent due to my worries over these questions earlier. Likes all the talking – noo! Look at all this I have to analyse! *whimpers* Ahem. Disagrees with lmp but agrees with Ang that thinking like a wolf should not be seen as suspicious. But agrees with tar-a (and myself) that such thoughts should not be publicised for fear they will help the wolves more than the villagers. Thinks morm is behaving as usual. Thinks Glirdan innocent, believing that if he were a wolf he would not be so bold. Agrees that Seer talk should be stopped and the Gifted’s left alone – agreed, but he certainly seems to put a lot of faith in what tar-a says. Not happy with lmp and Aiwendil because they are encouraging Seer talk. We see his first suspicion of Lhuna over her vote for Glirdan. Thinks Nilp innocent. Wants to hear more from those who have been quiet or useless so far. Suspects (ish) Aiwendil, Lhuna, lmp and Celuien. Thinks Nilp, Ang and spawn innocent. Reserves judgment on others. Feels Gil and Glirdan innocent. Thinks there’s something odd about tar-a because she switched from spawn to Eomer so fast, but actually there was a post explaining that she’d dropped suspicion of spawn in between. Votes Lhuna due to her vote.

Morm – I think jokingly accuses 4 people (he did say it was random). Gil, Tar-a, Celuien and Holby, claiming two would be wolves. But really I doubt there was anything behind that. Adds Lhuna to his suspect list. Says Gil is the only one who reacted to his suspicions unusually but keeps quiet about the others. Votes Gil basically to get rid of him. Also suspects tar-a, Ang and Celuien.

Farael – blather. Mentions tar-a though I think that’s in role. Claims Aiwendil is a wolf. Some silly reasoning, as in thinks this due to a comment that said random accusations and nonsense will help the wolves is suspicious. To this I say – what? I agree with his comment about the questions being more helpful to the wolves though. Not happy about the Seer talk, but again I think the reasons unfounded. Thinks Aiwendil has been playing too safe. On that I disagree as Aiwendil puts forwards theories and those questions, which gained him a lot of attention. Votes Aiwendil for the reasons earlier stated.

Gil – berates Glirdan for his vote. Vote Glirdan and I feel it was entirely in revenge and had no real reasoning behind it.

Holby – replies to morm’s ‘accusations’ with some role related stuff. Then answers Aiwendil’s questions with tales of experience rather than conjecture, making me think her more innocent than guilty since she is relying on past data, which the wolves will already know. Explains her comment about reacting to jokes. Suspects Lhuna and tar-a, votes tar-a.

Celuien – blather. Replies to morm with more blather. Points out tar-a and Ang though I think jokingly. Keeps on with the Seer talk. Disagrees with Farael but find both him and Aiwendil innocent. Votes Gil for my reasons and now thinks tar-a innocent due to a missed quote.

Lhuna – blather but now we know also an anagram in the title proclaiming her role for anyone who could read it. Very much disagrees with Glirdan’s ‘lynch the quiet ones’ idea because she feels she would be in danger due to timezone issues. Agrees with SPM and tar-a. Thinks Aiwendil is innocent due to his question, though she doesn’t deign to answer them. Blather. Wonders if perhaps we should be wary of those who disagree with tar-a. Votes Glirdan. To explain this post of hers I believe she was saying that she had to vote and it would be random. She picked Glirdan but didn’t really think him to be a wolf.

Form – blather. Says he won’t join in as he finds Day 1’s pointless. Votes Boromir without reason due to sickness.

Nilp – starts with his little anagram. Bit of normal Nilp behaviour and then votes for Farael due to promise. Odd that he isn’t suicidal though.

Spawn – summarises the day. Since this is what I’m doing I won’t repeat it all. Mentions Glirdan’s vote and thinks it random, though perhaps influenced by past experiences. Seems to feel Aiwendil is suspicious for his questions. Thinks over the top reactions to a jokey accusation are suspicious. Has some suspicion of Celuien. Replies to tar-a explaining her (good) reasons for summarising the day. Points out that we have no Cobbler. Thinks Gil and Glirdan innocent and acting as usual. Finds Lhuna suspicious for her vote. Doesn’t find Farael, Aiwedil or tar-a suspicious, and I think I agree. Gets into Seer discussion. Votes Lhuna for previous reasons.

Eomer – blather. Pretty much answers Aiwendil’s first question with thoughts of how a wolf would act. Claims wolves will be timid, but I’m not so sure that’s the case. Facetious behaviour toward Lhuna. Repeats his assumption on the way wolves will act. Rebukes tar-a jokingly for voting for him. Thinks Glirdan innocent but has some suspicions toward Lhuna and Gil. Bit of a flip flop on Lhuna there. Thinks morm has been behaving a bit oddly. Wonders if spawn and tar-a are working together. Votes Lhuna due to her vote.

Garin – thinks those who are repeatedly quiet and useless should be lynched rather than just quiet ones in general. Ok, that’s about fair. Some blather. Wants the False Seer killed off right away, apparently having missed that whoever it is won’t know whether they are the real or false Seer. I think suspects Boromir. Leaning towards Boromir, Lhuna and Gil. Votes Boromir.



And an innocent Gil dies. Now I know this is just Day 1 but I have taken into account things we know now, though for some of this the whole thing with the anagrams and lmp has not been taken into account.

Make of this what you will. I should have time to do Day 2 and hopefully 3. You’ll have my conclusions later.
