Doh! I was confusing tarks and bloody-handed Elves. You are either the latter, or something with feathers that swims in water …

Really, morm, I would have expected you to make your traditional random accusations against villagers who perhaps don’t know you as well as Kath and I. That might have been more productive. Perhaps you are trying to feign standard behaviour without actually achieving anything of use …

With regard to the spat between Roa and Nogrod, I obviously see far more merit in Roa’s position. Possibly, she is a clever Duck merely prolonging the pointless discussion so as to divert us all from our task in hand. But, just as likely, she is genuinely trying to repair the damage that these Owl speculations have given rise to, as I have myself done. Difficult to say. I don’t see her aggressive behaviour as being out of character. It looks pretty standard to me. But I would like to see more in the way of helpful analysis from her, rather than merely argument about something that should never have become a central point of discussion in the first place.

Mithalwen!!!!! (I’ll see your exclamation marks and raise you one ). That was my first post, when little of use had been said or done. I hope that I have been more helpful since. And I hope that you are not trying to spread suspicion on me on the basis of my first (largely “in-character”) post …

Some quick further thoughts on the others before I go. Anguirel, dancing spawn and (after her first post) Cailín, all seem to me to be being helpful and constructive. That is as I would expect, and I have no reason to view them as suspicious for now.

I would like to hear more from Lalaith, Glirdan, Sleepy and Jenny, none of whom have offered much of use so far and all of whom are capable of more.

I mentioned my suspicions of Nilp and his self-vote earler, and they hold.

And I am rather concerned over the piecemeal offerings from Kath, Valier and Elu Ancalime. Speak up, you three! It may be Day 1 and fully reasoned analysis may be difficult, if not impossible. But surely you have something more to say. Only the Ducks have anything to gain from remaining silent today.

And have we heard from Lote22 yet? I think not.

I think that's everyone.

My dinner table calls. Back later with more thoughts.

Edit: Cross-posted with a few there. But now I really do have to go. Back in about an hour.
