Good Morning, good village...
It's nice to wake up and find oneself still alive!
Okay, reading over the Day's discussion, it seems that we have two main topics on our minds. The first, of course, is Why Did the Wolves Kill
Celuien? The second is, Is
SamwiseGamgee Guilty?
To address the first: I have no idea.
Thinking on the issue, I am in agreement with those who think that
Celuien must have exhibited some Seer-ish qualities. At this point in the game, I don't think the Wolves can afford to leave the Seer alive.
That said, however, I'm a hedgehog if I can see anything in
Celuien that looked Seerish. Now, I obviously can't see it as the Werewolves do, but from where I'm sitting, nothing about her looks particularly suspicious. Most of
Celuien's suspicions weren't expressed strongly, and they tended to wander a little, I thought.
But what reason does that leave for the Werewolves to go after
Celuien? You'd think, that if they couldn't get the Seer, they'd take down one of the more prominent- more dangerous- villagers.
LMP definitely comes to mind.
So, the question for me is: did the Werewolves, having no idea who the Seer was, opt to throw the village into mass confusion by killing someone who was otherwise pointless to kill?
I am left rather confused by this whole matter, and shall set it aside then, and move on to
SamwiseGamgee, the second matter.
To be honest, it feels as if this whole anti-
SamwiseGamgee movement came out of nowhere. He's been on my "seems innocent" list since Day 1, and on a lot of other people's lists as well. And, looking back, I can't really say that he looks particularly guilty. He was, as much-noted, a member of the anti-
Lhuna campaign that saw
Lhuna lynched. Now this, in and of itself, does not strike me as particularly guilty- several people voted
Lhuna. On the other hand, it is a strike against him.
On the theory that
Lhuna's Lover-ness was NOT deduced by the Werewolves until the course of that day, is it possible that
Samwise was setting himself up the day before (when he also came out against
Lhuna) to look good if
Lhuna got lynched?
I'm still unsure as to where to place
Samwise in my mind: Guilty or Not? The trust of the village in him over the last few days is a hard habit to break. I mean, it's one thing for me to think him relatively innocent- most of the village has been in agreement.
On the other hand, the evidence does seem to be pointing in his general direction, and from what little I know of him from elsewhere (such as the Warg Society), he definitely comes across as intelligent enough to pull the wool over the village eyes.
Still not sure... but I'll be back later...
