Ok, so in an ode to Thinlómien I have compiled a short list, with my comments and thoughts on play so far. Here's what I've got:

Legate: my inclination is to think that, whilst unwise, the 'thinking out loud' approach is fairly innocent. Although there's a lot of stuff to sieve through, I can say that I have been helped by some of his thoughts relating to the prophecy. However, the fact that he's dwelling so much on the prophecy makes me a little bit uncomfortable- I really think we should be getting down to the job we innocents have of rooting out the taint of evil in our midst.

Rune Son: in post 11 a mistake is aknowledged. I would never think like this normally, but WW being WW my mind is thinking: is that a genuine aknowledgement of a mistake or is it a clever ploy to fool us all into thinking you're genuine?

Brinniel: I don't like non-votiung on day one one little bit for the following reasons: it puts the innocents in the awkward position of not being able to see someone's thinking, and it also gives the evil deserters amongst us an option to cast the seeds of doubt. (That's in no way personal, Brin, it's just the way I see it as a player).

Lommy: was the first to throw suspicion around, but I don't actually find that suspicious in itself- gotta start somewhere, eh? I am slightly perturbed by the initial post, though. Such overanalysis may be clever tactics intended to throw Wargs with otherwise keen snouts off the scent by the medium of humour.

Shasta: I very nearly had no opinion after the initial post, but the last post from her made me think that we may have a very subtle and wily Warg-killer on our hands. Does suggesting a rotational system not, after all, decrease the possibility of we innocents seeing a trend in the wolves tactics as to who they kill? If so, then this seed, once planted, may be used to undermine an otherwise perfectly logical argument. I know that is very subtle, and a bit unlikely, but it's a possibility nonetheless.

Gwath: agrees with me in her second post, but has misunderstood what I said. I tend to think this probably makes her innocent, as it would seem to indicate a genuine will to solve the prophecy, rather than just stroke my ego.

Kit: has her reservations about me, which is fine- so do I!- but seems keen to move us on from the prophecy. I agree on that point, and because I do and I know I'm an innocent I think she probably is too.

Nogrod: I actuall didn't just mildly speculate, I stated what the gifteds clearly were (Legate had tried, bless him, but gotten carried away on Highway Tangent) and then put forward a new thought on the despicable Warg-killers. Odd that I was worried I'd be picked up for an early post with too much content and then the exact opposite happens. That, dear Nogrod, worries me.

Mith: nothing substantial, but there. Not overly happy with that.

Gaunt: puts forward a reasonable theory, but again doesn't actually get us any closer toward the meat of starting to identify who we're to do away with this evening.

So, there it is. Not much to go on, but it's what I've got. I do honestly think that we need to move on from the prophecy. Eomer is a tricksy one, and he's quite probably taking perverse delight from beyond the grave at watching us struggle to answer something which we actually have no control over. It's been said before and I'll say it again: we have two enemies to deal with now, of this we're sure, so let's just concentrate on them.

Anyway, in another shocker I know I'm not going to get back online tonight, and so I'm going to vote.

**Brinniel**

I just don't want her alive tomorrow and for us to spend a day thinking: 'Did the enemies leave her alive, or is she an enemy herself?' My approach, while brutal, is necessary: get rid of the doubt. And I am most suspicious of her, so I'm going to sleep fine!

P.S.~ Sorry if I refferred to you as a he and you're a she or vice versa, but I should remind you that we Wargs transcend the confines of mere gender!
