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

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

(to Aiwendil) And that was for the Shepherdess!

This last Wolf's head will be for my sister the Princess. Speaking of . . . hey, shrillboy Glirdan

RL Comment - While all of you were busy talking about my scilence, my band is advancing to the nationals. Now you see that I had perfectly good reason to not be here.

I see that the suspicions of me will not let up. Frankly I am quite annoyed with the fact that I said that I will not be able to post as much as I normally do, and you still get suspicous of it! You know what, if you want proof that I'm innocent, lynch me! I was actually going to start participating more but from the looks of things, a lot of people would rather I just be dead. Fine, do it! But I'm going to say that it would be a complete waste of a day. If you need me, I'll be practicing for my other competitions. (Glirdan)

Like I said, you want to lynch me, be my guest. I'm over this. All of you (who are alive) with the exception of SpM are after me due to my scilence. (Glirdan)

I'm suspicious of you only because there is no-one else to be suspicious of. I'm innocent. I think Farael is, because during DAY 5 Aiwendil's vote for him put him in the lead with six more voters left--an unnecessary risk for a Werewolf. I think Sauce is innocent because of his DAY 4/DAY 6 voting trend. I think Celuien is innocent because she was the second one to vote for Aiwendil.

That leaves you.

[Farael]

Glirdan, you remind me of a comment that SPM made about me

You seem to want to argue your way up into my suspicion list (or something along those lines)

To begin with, let's face it... Celuien is accusing you because she can't accuse anyone else. She could go after me I guess as my innocence is not as established, but given yesterday's happenings and the fact that you are more suspicious, you are an easy choice.

Now, I wonder, why would you react like you did? we all know that those who are silent are most likely to be suspected... you were silent, even if you had proper excuses, and so you are suspected. We had nothing to go on with, barely any voting record, no talk on both of the days we lynched a wolf. Don't you think that we AT LEAST have grounds to feel uneasy about you?

And about my 'apparent' contradiction, I said both that we should give you a chance to talk... and that if you didn't show up we should get rid of you. I Think we are all aware that you were coming back toDay and thus if you were still away it might have been a smart wolvish move to let us wonder about you without giving us anything to work with. Where's the contradiction?

Now that we have given you a (short so far) chance to talk, I must say I think you should have stayed silent, then perhaps we would have had second-thoughts on that matter.

And you know, something that had somehow slipped my mind until Nilp brought it up... Celuien was the second one to vote for Aiwolfdil.... which meant that one more vote would have meant Aiwen's lynching.... and I was yet to cast my vote. A wolvish Celuien should have known that I was innocent and thus all but certain to vote for Aiwendil.

If you can explain all that, I might consider not voting for you. If you go on another rant, accuse us all of not having a life outside werewolf and storm out to practice for your band... well, good luck with your band!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

We're here to find Werewolves, not attack each other with knives, fishing equipment, and musical instruments.

Now that you brought this up:

And you know, something that had somehow slipped my mind until Nilp brought it up... Celuien was the second one to vote for Aiwolfdil.... which meant that one more vote would have meant Aiwen's lynching.... and I was yet to cast my vote. A wolvish Celuien should have known that I was innocent and thus all but certain to vote for Aiwendil. (Farael)

I'm quite confused.

Glirdan goes on a very loud defence of himself. Understandable, but distracting.

Farael suddenly shifts his gunsight on Celuien--for a plausible reason, I must admit. It's something an innocent earnest in his search for a Werewolf would do. It is also something a Werewolf would do to sow confusion.

This DAY is no longer as clear-cut as I thought.

I shall be reviewing everything about the remaining villagers again. Be back with thoughts.

[Farael]

Where did I shift my gunsight on Celuien? no, I was misunderstood..... I said that she voted for Aiwendil second and given that I'd vote for him too she all but sealed his death. If she had voted me and Aiwendil joined her, it would have been up to SPM to choose the right person to vote for. Risky, but he might have voted me.

I meant to say that Celuien did NOT look guilty while Glirdan did very little to help his case

I also didn't mean to come out too strongly against Glirdan, if I did do ignore it... I guess at times I'm not good with connotations.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I misunderstood you.

But you had insufficient facts. I had voted for Aiwendil already. Formendacil said he will (cf. #458, 483). Then there's you and your consistent attack on him since DAY 1.

Three votes. He's doomed even before the votes were cast.

Someone might have joined in to look innocent.

I shouldn't post after midnight... but still, there was a slight chance that I'd accumulate three votes more rapidly... but then, you have a good point, the best bet would have been to vote for Aiwendil.

OK, we are back on the starting line but I'm off to be.... *ahem* do alchemy... d

[The Saucepan Man]

Well I, for one, am not taking anything for granted. It is, I suppose, fair to say that Glirdan looks the most suspicious, given his silence and in light of the fact that he is the only villager not to have voted for a Wolf. But he has good reason for his silence over the past few Days. I have a feeling that, if he were guilty, then he would not have turned up today as that only makes him look more suspicious. But if he is not guilty, then the remaining Wolf has voted for a fellow Wolf at least once, which is going to make it difficult to find him or her. In short, I think we need to think carefully before rushing to lynch Glirdan. It may well be that he is the last Wolf, but I would rather consider the remaining possibilities first.

In the meantime, here is yesterday's voting record. Although it probably won't tell us much as everyone voted for a Wolf, excpet Aiwendil (the Wolf in question) and Glirdan, neither of whom voted.

Voting:

1. Nilpaurion Felagund for Aiwendil (Aiwendil-1)
2. Celuien for Aiwendil (Aiwendil-2)
3. The Saucepan Man for Aiwendil (Aiwendil-3)
4. Farael for Aiwendil (Aiwendil-4)
5. Formendacil for Aiwendil (Aiwendil-5)

Did not vote: Aiwendil, Glirdan

Back shortly with some more thoughts.
