[Gollum the Great]

These quotes are from the Animated Lion:

Gollum, if I was to vote for Brinn to be lynched today, how would you defend her to me? I need more solid reasons than "just the aura of her posts", as you might know by now.

In all seriousness, I was merely saying what I thought of Brinn.

Voted for Eönwë "to save himself". He had one vote whereas Eönwë had two, and I don't think anyone who was yet to vote then was considering voting Gollum.

Pardon me. Eonwe and I were tied and I had been given my 2nd vote first, so next in line to be lynched.

On day 4 Gollum said he can't make up his mind since either the players are not around or he "can't accuse them of anything for want of evidence". He said he keeps one or two under observation but nothing more. Now, Gollum, who were/are these "one or two"? Usually you should say it aloud unless you have a good reason to be silent about it.

I kept the names to myself because the last time I said who I was wary of you made a big thing about it. And to be honest, I don't recall who I had in mind.

Also, did I understand it correctly that the "want of evidence" part actually means "I can't accuse anyone because they want me to give reasons for it"? Sorry but that's the way it goes. You can't expect an innocent person to be like "Oh, he thinks I'm suspicious because my avatar looks gay and my signature is taken from a political rock song. That's alright - he must be innocent as well since I admit those are indeed suspicious things!"

By want of evidence I meant there was nothing to suspect them about in the actual content of whatever they said.
And whose avvy and sig are you referring to?

If you really suspect me, why would you give it up just because I tell you to give reasons for it? Do you know what that looks like? That you don't care who you suspect as long as it's someone you're not related to in any way.

How did you get the idea I've stopped suspecting you? I don't remember saying I quit doing that.
And how many people agree with Agan that it looks like I don't care who I vote for? If it really does seem that I don't care, I'll try to at least make it seem that I'm interested (if I'm not lynched first). I do vote for those I think should be.

He also said he didn't have time to search for my case against him. I think it was quite easily found there if you just bothered to read the thread. Did you read? No wonder you couldn't come up with anyone to suspect.

Of course I didn't read through to find your argument. I said before that I had to work.

Believe it or not, it's actually allowed to read posts from the previous days as well.

There's no reason to be sarcastic.

When Gwath asked him why people should refrain from voting him if he doesn't bother to respond to their accusations, he said one objection is not enough for him to spend time on (he changed his mind a short while later though when Gwath commented on it). This looks more like lack of interest than being evil, to be honest. If Gollum's a baddie he might want to be more keen on defending himself. However, if he didn't read the thread, he might not even have known there was a case against him. On the other hand, he seems not to have had time for it then (12.37 am my time he said he'd probably have to start working), and he promised to do it later (02.23 am he replied to my accusations).

Now in this respect I really want to be believed. I am very much interested in this game (why would I have joined it otherwise? check the admin thread to see what thought of simply starting to play.).
Oh yes. I work bizarre hours sometimes.

He asked Nog what was wrong with taking his words as a basis for his vote since he couldn't make up his mind otherwise.

Hey! we're all allowed to play differently. Also, what was wrong with doing that?
