Oh you cynical Americans! Hasn't Barack Obama thought you anything yet?
(rolleyes for the possible ill-conceived idealism of that phrase...)
If I were Frodo - sorry, Mr. Underhill that is - I would seriously consider revealing it toDay... well I would hope to be able to bet for myself living toMorrow to conceal it in peace for toMorrow - and I would think it not twice but like hundred times... it would be an issue to me, really. A tough one looking at the good of the village and my role in it- and the possible change of my allegiance - and how to undo it before it happens as I would be for the village before the possible turnover. I couldn't play looking at it from the point of view of "let's see if I can choose my side later".
But that's personal.
And anyway we don't know who is Mr. Underhill and that makes it hard. The revealment of your stance (with
Agan's and
Rikae's) makes me wonder whether we can trust this Underhill fellow anyway... whatever he says s/he is. I started this game trusting he would play on our side and took it for granted but maybe everyone is just for themselves and not for the common good?
*Could it be? Really?*
Or at least some price their individual success higher than the good of their community - and thus themselves as well? I mean what is the good of yours when your neighbours suffer? Can you really enjoy that? Are you a human any more if you can?
One more reason we should stick to socialism like
Legate called for!
Coming to the bussiness then as my time runs out definitively.
It becomes between
Gollum and
Aganzir I think...
There were other terrible reasons but saying you make it random is the worst way of trying to ensure you don't have to stand for your vote later.
But which one?
Gollum acts almost hyperactive at times and that might suggest wolf trying to make better of his earlier submarine style being at stake.
Aganzir votes more clumsily she normally does and claims "random vote" whilst giving some really bad half-excuses for her vote...
++ Gollum
In a way
Agan's vote looks more dishonest than
Gollum's as her reasons are soo bad and in general her vote is more forced than
Gollum's and one should think she would be able to do it better ehatever her role is. But that's just the point: were she a ringwraith she would have been more cunning and careful.
So
Gollum looks to me the more promising choice. He has been unexpectedly active and still his posts are mostly devoid of substance and mainly banter when they are not concerned of him trying to paint himself looking good or "correct" any bad ideas about him, his vote is painted as to be a totally random (guilt! guilt! guilt!) & at times his posts are too carefully construed to give an impression of innocense.
ADD: And he's careful enough not to offence anyone or suspect them in a way that might create a backlash...
Greenie -> Gollum
Lommy -> Aganzir
Gollum -> Brinn
Aganzir -> Lari
Legate -> Mac
Shasta -> Lommy
Nogrod -> Gollum (
Gollum2, Lommy1, Mac1, Lari1, Brinn1, Agan1)
Good night!
