[The Saucepan Man]

Well, dancing spawn's death certainly puts Eomer squarely in the frame. Question is, is it a set up or does a Wolfish Eomer count on us thinking that it is? The interesting thing is that dancing spawn and Eomer both made fair points against each other, based on similar reasoning. Their argument, essentially, was that the other had been raising a lot of suspicions but not making many strong accusations. While the fact that Eomer was wrong about her does not negate spawn's case against him, it does suggest that such cases can be fallible. We need to consider what other evidence there may be to suggest that Eomer is a Wolf.

In the meantime, here is yesterday's voting record:

1. Garin for Boromir88 (Boromir88-1)
2. Mormegil for littlemanpoet (Boromir88-1, littlemanpoet-1)
3. Littlemanpoet for littlemanpoet (Boromir88-1, littlemanpoet-2)
4. Eomer of the Rohirrim for littlemanpoet (Boromir88-1, littlemanpoet-3)
5. Glirdan for littlemanpoet (Boromir88-1, littlemanpoet-4)
6. Tar-ancalime for littlemanpoet (Boromir88-1, littlemanpoet-5)

Littlemanpoet disappears and the votes agaist him are discounted

7. The Saucepan Man for Kath (Boromir88-1, Kath-1)
8. Celuin for Garin (Boromir88-1, Kath-1, Garin-1)
9. Mormegil for Eomer (Boromir88-1, Kath-1, Garin-1, Eomer-1)
10. Dancing spawn for Eomer (Boromir88-1, Kath-1, Garin-1, Eomer-2)
11. Formendacil for Aiwendil (Boromir88-1, Kath-1, Garin-1, Eomer-2, Aiwendil-1)
12. Aiwendil for Garin (Boromir88-1, Kath-1, Garin-2, Eomer-2, Aiwendil-1)
13. Kath for Garin (Boromir88-1, Kath-1, Garin-3, Eomer-2, Aiwendil-1)
14. Boromir88 for Aiwendil (Boromir88-1, Kath-1, Garin-3, Eomer-2, Aiwendil-2)
15. Eomer of the Rohirrim for Garin (Boromir88-1, Kath-1, Garin-4, Eomer-2, Aiwendil-2)

Did not vote: Farael, Nilpaurion Felagund

I hope that's right. Things got rather compoicated yesterday, with the whole lmp thing.

I am not surprised about Garin receiving the most votes, as he was a rather suspicious character. Nevertheless, as such, he was the obvious candidates for the Wolves to promote, once littlemanpoet was no longer around. Celuin was the first to give Garin a vote following his disappearance. Aiwendil's vote took him to joint leader. Kath put him ahead on 3 votes. Eomer took his total up to 4, although it is reasonable to assume that he was voting to save himself.

We should also bear in mind those who voted for littlemanpoet and did not then vote again: Glirdan and tar-ancalime. To an extent, I can understand why they did not, as I was in a bit of difficulty myself at that stage trying to work out who looked the most suspicious to me. But you must have had other suspicions.

Farael and Nilp have good excuses for not voting, although I still don't like it. We really need to find a Wolf today and we are only going to do that through discussion, so I would ask that all participate as fully as they are able. Morm's mind seems settled on Eomer, which troubles me as he reached that conclusion with practically no debate having taken place today. While Eomer certainly looks suspicious, we ought to at least consider before condemning him and, even if you are right, morm, we ought still to be considering who the other Wolves might be. My mistake yesterday was to centre all of my thinking around my belief that littlemanpoet was a Wolf.
