My goodness, I wish someone would buy us a replacement cockrel after we lost that faithful crower the night before last- now I've slept in. Nevertheless, it seems you fellow villagers of mine have been busy at the discussion table. So who do I see as suspicious here in Hamlet? Well, firstly there's Gil-Galad. The problem is, am I just bandwaggoning? But no, every argument I see laid out against him follows through and makes sense- in particular I myself noted his vote against Gurthang when it came along, rooting as I was for the death of that thrice-cursed beast Mithalwen. My eyes are placed firmly upon Gil-Galad at the moment. However, others do not escape this wizened old soul's steely gaze.

Firstly, there's CoD. I thought his randomness a little suspicious, but following his last two posts I have become even more suspicious of him. I put it to you, fellow villagers of Hamlet, that CoD is calling our bluff. Now I dare not urge you to vote, such would be folly, but I would like a better explanation from CoD and some cross-examination.

SpM, you tear me in two here. I want to trust you with all my heart, I really do, and I want to believe that your posts are long and insightful because you're thinking only of Hamlet. However, I can't get the following thoughts out of my head: (1) you voted for Mith yesterday when there was a very high probability if it wasn't in fact definite (can't remember) fact that she was going to hang; and (2) all those oh-so-helpful posts serve very well to focus everyone's attention on a whole bunch of different people except you. I don't know, man. I'm nowhere near voting for you, though, and I'm telling you because I really hope you can help clear yourself.

Seeing as double posts are allowed:

Nonnacedak, you're blowing your own trumpet for jumping on a bandwagon which was gathering steam all the time? (Post #135) That doesn't prove your innocence at all. Unlucky, kid, you just popped onto my radar!

Explain myself? Hmm...that seems reasonable, I suppose.

First, I will explain my so-called 'bluff'. I have made no bluff to call. If you wish to lynch me, go ahead. Mark my words, though. If you do lynch, the Reaper will come calling for two more of you. I am not the Beorning. I am not a wolf. I don't care if you believe me or not. But it will be your heads they find in the morning.

As I won't be able to return tonight for another round, I fear I must vote.

Thus, I will vote for The Saucepan Man. Why? I have secretly been suspicious of him. He zealously seeks the wolves, yet provides little in the way of tracking down the Beorning (which should be the most important task, as wolves will take 3 days to get rid of their kill per night). Now, I know that I am not the Bear, so I count myself out. Thus, to me he and Laitaine are my only Beorning suspects. But, since I am more suspicious of him, I choose him over her. I call him a Bear in sheep's clothing!

A very early vote, and only just after I also voice some suspicion of SpM. Oh dear, oh dear. That's not the behaviour of an innocent villager, I don't think.

Sorry for not posting nearly as often as some of you, but I do have all that baking to do, during which time I CANNOT step away from my ovens and leave everything to burn.

I have done an overview of Day One. Sorry, haven't had time to look at Day Two, so sue me.

My really suspicious list:

Lalaith: She says she suspects Captain of Despair then votes for Menel. Huh?

Durelin: She votes compltely randomly for the rather innocent seeming (by all others) Firefoot. Then starts defending herself and making wild accusations as hysterically as Mithalwen the day before (Okay, I did peak at her day two posts).

my mildly suspicious list:

Boromir: Is too aggressive in his attacks against Gurthang over the in-character animal rights thing.

Encaitare: Points at Gurthang for merely being in character.

Wilwarin: for not voting when she could have.

Nonnacedak: for voting for Mithalwen because she was likely to get lynched; of course, that would be very rookie in a werewolf...

my not even remotely suspicious list:

LMP
Dancing Spawn
Saucepan Man
Firefoot
Laitaine
Captain of Despair


my probably not suspicious list:

Arctic Storm
Gil-Galad
Gurthang
Samwise
Meneltarmacil


My reasons are, in general, for the not so suspicious groups, are that you guys are making sense to me, and have so far not said anything that seems suspicious. Or, overly suspicious in the case of my final list.

Hope that helps. I'll be voting late like Firefoot, and for the same reason.

Well, Captain we all know you read Saucepan's post of suspecting you for the Beorning. His description of what the beorning might do seems logical enough to me. And indeed I believe he has been the only one to give insight on the beorning, everyone else (including myself) is just clueless on the matter. I agree with Meneltarmacil, best hope in finding the beorning is the Seer, but there are a lot of people to choose from so I don't see that day coming anytime soon.

LMP, whether you are still suspicious of me after this, is up to you or not. I did take back my suspicion from Gurthang after he provided a reasonable stance and have yet to accuse him of anything again. (post #59)
