Tol-in-Gaurhoth XVIII: The Play’s The Thing…

[The Saucepan Man]

Well, first of all, I cannot help but comment on littlemanpoet's strange behaviour this morning.

Bit dramatic, isn't it? Seemingly you are trying to appeal to the mercy of the village.

Quite so. My very thoughts, even before I reached your little PS. You want to be helpful do you? Somehow I doubt that you will be. Because I believe that you are a Wolf. I suspected as much yesterday, and now I am pretty much convinced. I think that you are trying a change of tack because your previous modus operandi was sending off the wrong signals and almost got you lynched.

When I looked back over your contributions overnight, I noticed some very interesting things. Like this for example:

You say that Wolves find it hard to put on an act of innocence, a statement which makes sense to me. And yet you seek to excuse your own seemingly suspicious behaviour. It's all just to try to stay in the game longer, you say. I think that, when you realised that you were coming under suspicion, you needed to think of an excuse to cover it.

There's more. A lot more, and I hope to come to it later today.

But before that, I think that it might be fruitful to consider why the Wolves killed Ang. He voiced few suspicions on Day 1, concentrating mainly on calling for Boro to be lynched. He was the first to vote for Boro, a vote which was generally not considered to be overly suspicious (although those which followed for Boro were). On Day 2, he maintained his suspicion of Boro, but then started looking at Lhuna and Nilp. He ended up voting for Lhuna who, as we know, was innocent. On Day 2, he was suspected by Lhuna and Nilp, who voted for him (Nilp, that is). Other than that, he does not seem to have come under much suspicion.

So, does that implicate Boro? Might it implicate Nilp? I am not so sure, because I remain fairly comfortable about both of them (although I don't like the sound of you sloping off to the sidelines Boro - your input is most certainly needed at this grave time). It could be an attempt to frame up one or both of them. Possibly an attempt to relieve the pressure on the others who voted for Boro on Day 1? Or it could be that Ang said something to alarm the Wolves. I will go and have a look back through his contributions.

I also intend looking into the Lhuna voters a bit more closely. Lmp was one of them and I think that he is the Wolf in that pack. There may be another one there, although I am not convinced as Lhuna did look rather suspicious to me. Worth a look nevertheless. It's probably worth looking at those who voted for Lhuna on Day 1 as well.
