I find it very interesting the Eomer died. The whole day I saw nothing in him that indicated he was a wolf. I reread everything and still coudln't see why people thought him as strongly as they did. What I did find was some wolfish activity a foot here. I will hold off on posting my major suspicious currently but go back and analyze those who argued for Eomer's lynching and I think you will find something rather telling in finding subtle yet persistent encouragements from at least one other person. Finding that LMP is very enlightening and adds to my theory. As I said I will not share it now but want you all to look back a bit too.

Admittedly, morm, my "stab in the dark" vote for Eomer was on a par with your stab at Gilly. I especially didn't want to bandwagon on your choice; we needed more candidates from which the wolves had to choose.

Building on what I was saying before, All three wolves would not vote for the same person. Maybe the three spread their votes amongst three different candidates, which means that Gilly might be a wolf. Firefoot also voted for Gilly, but doesn't seem wolfish to me. I'm betting that one of the wolves didn't vote.

So my three main suspects are:

Lhunardawen
Gil-galad
Holbytlass


Defend yourselves, if you can.

I went to great extent to defend my vote at the time because Emer didn't understand why I wanted information from him that I thought he had.
I'm very sorry now but hindsight is 20/20. I wanted to point out in his posts where I knew he was joking and where I took to be serious. I did post-pone my vote as late as possible to see what he had to say but it was down to the wire. And I'd rather vote than not vote at all.

*chuckle* I thought LMP and Firefoot were the shirrifs until Firefoot started questioning LMP too much.

It is late here and I must retire to bed. I will return in about nine hours time to post another summary cast and my vote.

Just a thought - there are some whom have been very quiet last round and now this. My thoughts would be on them.

TGWBS accuses

Gil-Galad - Strange short posts. Gets upset and shouts when people vote for him. Voted Eomer, but likely to save himself.

Holbytlass - Votes Eomer, clinching his death.

Lhunardawen - Extremely defensive when my abacus names her randomly. Quickly jumped in to vote for G-G.

mormegil - Voted G-G for no apparent reason other than G-G being his normal self.

Nilpaurion - No posts. Nothing. At all. (Will the Mod kill him for this?)

Orominuialwen - Very quiet. Creepy. Doesn't post nearly enough. Didn't vote, possibly an attempt to stay under the radar. Accused Eomer.

Saurreg - Analytical, yes. However, he suspected Eomer (voted for him quickly too), Kath, LMP, possibly me. 4 innocents? We could just lynch him for bad luck.
After voting for Eomer, he tells us he thought Eomer was a Shirriff! Why would an innocent vote for somebody he thought was a Shirriff?

I'm leaning towards a Saurreg/Oro/Lhuna trio.

I want to explain, even in more detail, why I voted Gil.

Two main reasons.

1. I want to eliminate the wolves hiding place of little or no posting. It's far too easy a strategy because we are all willing to make up excuses for them when they post nothing to give us any information about them.

2. I'm sorry that his Dad isn't letting him get on the computer much but if that's the case why do you start a game. This is not a direct attack on Gil but in general. If you can't fully participate it's best to sit it out. We've seen many people do this. SpM is one example.

So it may sound callous or perhaps even a wolfish ploy (take as you like) but I'm of the opinion that if they can't contribute one way or another that they are good cannon fodder especially the first day.

What I don't understand is how Gil can yell that he can't have fun playing because we kill him off and yet he also states that he doesn't have time to post anything. How can it be fun if you can't post? Could be a wolf trying to get our sympathy and it seems to be working. I have no certainty as to whether or not he is a wolf, but we all seem willing to just say "oh that's just Ol' Gil and the way he is" Well maybe we ought to look more into it than we are.

Right now I have high suspicions of Holby and she's raised many red flags of what I look for in a wolf. I don't have time to explain why I suspect her sufficiently right now so I will post later on that.

Please explain that as soon as possible morm. It's better to get accusations done early.

Okay, I've been doing some hard-core theorizing and planning, and I think I have a foolproof plan for the villagers to win. I'm going to do some double-checking, but stand by.

I'm sorry I haven't posted much. The reason I didn't vote yesterday is because I forgot when the vote was going to end. I just have to remember to vote at night, because I'm not generally awake in the morning when DAY ends. tgwbs, all I can say is that I was initially suspicious of you (mostly yesterDAY), but once lmp confirmed that you were indeed sherrifs, I trusted you. What this means, I will leave you to work out...

Now that we know Orominuialwen is Seer #1, it's obvious that she chose me to dream about on Night one, and learned of my innocence at least, and possibly that I was a shirriff (maybe not the second half). I guess therefore that calling attention to myself as "the bum" didn't entirely throw off the potential success of the villagers. Nice hint-dropping there, Oro; I wish I'd caught it earlier.

Is this it? Am I thwarted?

LMP and TGWBS, bane of my existence... Too clever you two.

For shame! For shame!

Very well, my end draws near. I have nothing to loose. I hereby confess to being a werewolf and committing the murders of Feanor, Kath and Nilp.

Farewell cruel world... I should get what I deserved.

Take my life, take my blood. But I beg of you all, don't take the face.

I wanna die pretty.

Thank you.

P.S: Mormegil, our little charade is over. Will you not come clean too?
