I can certainly understand wanting to keep
Eomer's role under wraps, but the alleged logic of this falls apart under further inspection.
1.
Dun put
Sally on his three person list. Fair enough. Everyone had a list, and everyone's bound to be on one or two people's lists at least, so no problems here.
2.
Eomer voted for
Sally. The logic holds up so far. If
Eomer is (or rather was) the seer, it makes absolute sense for him to vote for a guilty
Sally if
Dun had her on that list.
3.
Dun voted for
Eomer. If
Dun received a dream, he'd know the results, but not who sent it to him, so there's little chance he would know not to vote for
Eomer. However, if he's the one who received the dream and it said
Sally was guilty, why wouldn't he vote for
Sally? Therein lies my biggest problem with the way
Morsul is explaining his motives. He's claiming to act upon information that the person who had it didn't even act upon.
4.
Morsul voted for
Sally. As far as his suspicions go, that's fine, as he had voiced his suspicion of both
Sally and
Steve, and
Eomer wasn't actually in too much danger at the time, so it's not a huge issue, but when he further "explains" his vote, he refers to his vote as "try to get a least a semi-not random vote in." If he were basing it off the dream chain listed above, it wouldn't be random at all.
So yes, him voting for me kept
Eomer "safe" for the Day (except for the part where
Eomer was lynched at the end of it). However, voting for me rather than
Steve also gave
Steve a better chance of survival. It's often convenient for a villain to suspect their fellows, yet in the end decide an innocent is a better lynch option. It's not a new trick.
Am I ready to say without doubt that
Steve and
Morsul are fellows? Certainly not, but if one turns out to be against us, I'll not be surprised if the other is as well.
Morsul's quasi-guilty behavior is definitely not a notion that should be tossed aside as
Pom is doing, which is another concern entirely.
Not x'd, but I do need to read everything since the quoted post in more detail.
