Eomer and Boromir are correct that our discussions have been much too singleminded thus far. To be fair, the fact that yesterday's posts were so heavily centered on lmp had a lot to do with him, but we've got to avoid falling into the same pattern again today.

In my opinion we need to hear a lot more from the following people today: Nilpaurion, Formendacil, Celuien, Glirdan. Also Kath, though as others have noted she did increase her posting by the end of yesterday. It's getting too dangerous for anyone to continue to get a free pass just for being quiet or busy...or even sick. Sorry, Formendacil, if that sounds cold, but after losing six Ordinary Villagers and a Gifted, it just isn't in our best interest to continue to soft-pedal anyone anymore. Formendacil is looking particularly worthy of investigation today, because as someone (mormegil, I think?) noted, he's been posting about his illness on this (lie-friendly) thread and not on the planning thread, where the truth is expected.

I am even beginning to wonder if all three wolves aren't "quiet ones." Have we all gotten so used to the bold/accommodating/quiet formula that we assume it and look for it? Imagine if our three wolves were Nilpaurion, Formendacil, and Glirdan. We'd never amass enough evidence on any of them, let alone see the connections among them. Could be that they are all simply behaving very quietly; could be that this is brilliant strategy. Let's not give them any more leeway.
