Yeah, that was the weird part when I actually stopped to think about it.
Well hey, neither of you lynched the other, so that's a step forward, right?
As far as proving I'm Elendil, I decided I'd use the line "7 ships, 7 stars, and 1 white tree" as the key, seeing as it was appropriate for Elendil.
My third post doesn't fit the pattern- I was very tired and posted it without thinking, but I remembered to follow the pattern in my other posts. The pattern? 7-7-1
7th letter of 1st post = E
7th letter of 2nd post = L
1st letter of 4th post = E
7th letter of 5th post = N
7th letter of 6th post = D
1st letter of 7th post = I
7th letter of 8th post = L
I figured that ought to be proof enough if I had to reveal at some point, though once I became a "known" innocent it really wasn't necessary.
