Gurthang has just left Hobbiton.
Almost there... through page 9.

I've realized over the last couple of Days that the Lovers have a lot of power on the outcome of this village, if not in the actual process of the outcome. Even if they don't win, they could either betray or not betray the wolves before they die. It's interesting. If the wolves would decide to kill the wolf-Lover's love, then the Lover's could easily give the wolves names to the village(providing they knew the wolves intentions beforehand). If the villagers kill one of the lover's, the wolves identity is buried with them(hypothetically speaking. I'm not really suggesting that we bestow the honor of burial on the Lovers.). It almost seems that, when their own hope of victory is dead, the Lover's hold the village's fate in their hands.

Guy's suggestion of lynching all males a while back is interesting, but not plausible in my mind. I don't think it really matters, as it has already been shot down, I assume. But, just to make sure, let me say this: The reasoning behind The Plan is to get the Lovers. Quite frankly, the one lover who is not a wolf should not have enough influence on the village to make a difference, and the four wolves won't have a lot of influence because it is unlikely that they will all move together. Hence, the lovers can pretty much be ignored until later in the game. And I don't like playing the odds, simply because these are not simple odds, they can and will be tampered with by the wolves.

I support the idea of double lynching Kath and Lhuna. It seems like a good way to clear a lot of suspicion. And I think it's very likely that one, if not both, is a wolf. The trouble is going to be bringing it about. But, I completely disagree that we should have a double lynch from here on out. I think we can get a lot from the wolves kill each Night, and killing more each Day shortens the time we have for the wolves to make kills. Also, it gives us less voting to analyze. I think one toDay will probably tell us enough that we won't need to do another double for a few Days.
