[A Little Green]

A QUICK LOOK AT THE ELF-WARRIOR. (I accidentally typed "the wlf-warrior" - wonder if that's a signal from my unconscious? )

Uncharacteristical to an analysis made by me, I will quote all his posts. After all, there are but eight of them in total with a significant percentage of one-liners. So here goes:

Day 1

All I know is we can't all be wolves.

Actually, I meant we as in all the villagers, but I do know I'm not a wolf, so the statement is correct, even if you two are wolves.

These two first ones are basically just Day 1 banter, not really noteworthy.

I say we lynch a suspected BW anyhow. He or she may actually be a wolf. The same goes for suspected cobblers.

Come to think about it, I think Lottie and Glirdan are right. The BW isn't a priority. We should let Tom Bombadil deal with BW suspects. Let us focus on finding wolves.

This Legate-180 concerning the BW makes me feel a bit better about EW - I'd think a wolf would try to be consistent and avoid such open changes of mind.

A wolf would be concerned about the safety of fellow packmates.

Bill Ferny would probably be more cautious than Harry Goatleaf because Mr. Ferny can spy on the other players, thus giving him an incentive to stay alive to learn the identities of as many wolves as possible.

Mr. Goatleaf does have an incentive to stay alive; he probably would want to stay alive long enough for Mr. Ferny to find him and thus be able to communicate with him.

It's not that there was much (or any) discussion on other topics than cobblers and barrow-wights at that point, but EW never talks about his suspicions before his vote post:

I'm gonna go with
++Volo.
I think Shasta found a freudian slip. I haven't read any farther than Nogrod's post after Shasta.

Referring, I think, to Volo talking about some baddie being killed "silently during the Night" (can't remember the exact quote though). Not a very strong reason but compared to some other votes that Day it can't really be faulted for that.

Day 2

Lottie, you seem OK to me.

I'm voting
++Eomer

Eomer's behavior strikes me as cobblerish, or he could be a wolf or a wight. Or he could be innocent. I don't know, but I'd bet he's bad. I'm gonna flip flop some more and say that Volo seems OK to me after further consideration. I think he's just a little off his game.

I probably won't post any more toDay. I have to work past the deadline and I'd better get some sleep. Bye.

His only post of the Day. He does seem notably flip-floppy and points it out himself.

Day 3

++Shasta

I think he tried to frame Nogrod as the BW. Shasta, I hope you're pleased at what you and your buddies accomplished last night.

This statement sticks in my craw,

That is not what Lottie had been advocating and I think you know it. One way or another, you're goin' down boy.

One last thing, I'm a he. This is the Elf-warrior, signing off. Death to lycanthropes!!

And again, a new suspect out of the blue.

Aaand that's it! Conclusions? EW seems consistent in being inconsistent if you know what I mean. I'm slightly uneasy with how much he's flip-flopping. Flip-flopping in itself is by no means evil, and for example in the Barrow-Wight issue it looked like a genuine change of opinion, but I don't like the way he suspects somebody and completely drops it the next Day. Of course people's suspicions change, they are bound to, but I'm at a loss with what happened to suspecting Eomer between Days 2 and 3 - though it's of course possible he simply suspected Shasta more than Eomer toDay. He's certainly acting odd, but still I'm not sure a Wolf-Warrior would be so overtly and openly inconsistent.
