The Saucepan Man has been lynched (I think)

Since nobody complains, I assume to be right.

The Saucepan Man is a Filthy Faithful!

It almost seems too obvious to be right... Arrrghh this game can be so stressful sometimes...

Edit: Agh, sorry for cross-posting!

Long the Númenoreans talked on this day, and finally, for the first time, it seemed like they they were pulling together. Slowly but surely the vote steered towards the Saucepan Man and with no hesitation the decision was reached. Now only one thing stood between the angry mob and a dead Saucepan Man: The Saucepan Man himself!

Because he was nowhere to be found!

“Where is the Saucepan Man?” asked Kath “We must see him and speak to him, more clearly than we have spoken yet.”

The Númenoreans searched upon Meneltarma and in the village at its feet, but he was not there. The evening was dawning already when he was found, at the very western end of the island. A wall there once stood, part of which was now destroyed and part of which reached out into the ocean. There the Saucepan Man stood watching out on the waves.

Saucepan Man!” cried Hookbill, the Goomba, seriously “You know the charges that are made against you, that instead of praying to Melkor, the Great God of the World, you are worshipping the name... Ilúvatar?”

A widely audible gasp was heard.

“I don’t think it should be a sin, just for worshipping Ilúvatar!” the Saucepan Man answered.

“Blasphemy!” the crowd shouted, but Hookbill, though distressed himself, kept his calm: “You’re only making it worse for yourself!”

“Making it worse? How can it be worse? Ilúvatar! Ilúvatar! Ilúvatar!”

“He said it again! He said it again!” the crowd shrieked and they took up stones that were broken from the wall.

“I’m warning you! If you say Ilúvatar one more time...” Hookbill attempted to say, but a stone thrown to his head interrupted him. “Right! Who did that? Come on, who did that?”

“She did! She did!” it was jangled, and the Númenoreans were pointing towards Mithalwen.

“Was it you?”

“Yes...”

“Why?”

“Well, you did say... you know...”

“To the back of the line with you!”

“Do you not see what the worship of Melkor has done to you?” the Saucepan Man threw in “You have begun to slay one another. Stop it now! No one is to stone anyone until Hookbill blows his whistle, even... and I want to make this absolutely clear... even if somebody does say... ‘Ilúvatar’!”

“He said it again!” the Númenoreans shrieked again, and they mercilessly stoned the Saucepan Man.


The day was dark, but there was now hope for Men, for the Faithful were fewer.

It was unusually late when the Númenoreans got back to their huts. An exhausting day had lain behind them and it showed, most with Kath, who fell asleep even at the same place where the Saucepan Man had been lynched.

In the middle of the night, she heard somebody call her name. – “Wake up, Kath – but nobody was there to be seen for her in the moonlit darkness.

“Who are you?”

“I come with good tidings for you in these evil times.”

“Where are you?”

“I am upon the wall,... looking down on you!”

Kath looked up, and against the moon she saw a dark figure above her and it felt to her as if she could see its glaring eyes under the waving cloak.

“Do you wish to bring evil on me?” she asked frightened.

“On the contrary! I’d like to save you and accord an honourable fate to you.”

“And what shall that be?” Kath asked.

“You shall be sacrificed to the Children of Ulmo!” the figure said complaisantly.

“Never!” she defied, and the figure drew its sword. Seeing the hopelessness of her situation Kath quickly turned and was about to run away, back to the village to find herself help. But the Faithfuls proved smarter than she: the other was already waiting behind her and so she ran into an upraised sword.

Thus Kath passed from this world.

Later that night, the Faithfuls fulfilled the offer they had made to her, and Kath was cut into many pieces and given to the living things of the sea.

Ok, this has cleared up a few things.

Today I will be voting for either Durelin or Mithalwen.

So it was both obvious and true. Two done, two to go...can we do it in just two more Days I wonder?

Okay, glad you already know for certain, less than half an hour after the start of the Day.

I think it quite probable that at least one if not both of the wolves voted for SPM...obviously, considering the consensus was against him the Day before as well. It's possible even that they voted fairly early on for him, but I think it's at least less likely. They can always leave things open to the possibility of another lynchee until they feel that it's pretty certain SPM was going to be lynched.

I think Gil should be looked at, as I do not think that the fact that TGWBS started going after him clears him of guilt. Gil has been in the background of suspicion for a while, but he was never in danger of lynching, so I believe it could have been a wolf trying to distance himself from his comrade. Kitanna's waffling is maybe of interest, but I don't like the feel of people who seem certain.

Lalaith's voting record when it comes to TGWBS and Sauce makes me think she isn't a wolf, and yet she is bothering me a lot. And no, not just because she has suspected me for some time now, but because she has basically only perpetually suspected me since Nogrod started on his tirade against me. It seems pretty possible to me that she could very well have decided that since TGWBS and Sauce had already been put under pressure by the only known innocent, she could at least make herself look good. It is crazy, though, so she's not my top suspect. The way she addressed Kitanna's waffling on myself and Sauce and her "gut feelings," she seemed to accuse Kitanna for not just voting for one of us, as if not doing so was just illogical or wrong. Then she posted again to say "oh, yeah, but you can vote for whoever you want." Doesn't really say anything, but it bothers me. I guess overall it's just how she's been playing off what Nogrod started. Though maybe she just assumes that if he was right about Sauce and TGWBS he's right about me.

She has been doing a good job remaining consistent...still going after Mith...

Speaking of Mith, her later vote may have been a wolf deciding that it was too late to try and save her comrade. Legate's definitely could be that, as well. Mith feels more innocent than Legate does. I feel like I have nothing on Legate, which makes me worry that he's been so careful and in such a safe position that he's just been the perfect wolf.

Hookbill is as much of a mystery to me now as Gil is. He obviously is short on time, and I suppose his vote yesterDay can be attributed to that, but...it does look very odd, and I made the mistake once before of ruling out a person just because they didn't have much time and when they did post they seemed as helpful as they could be. Hookbill's suspicions have all be "kindas" and he tends to apologize for suspecting and voting for people. He's playing it so safe it's a little astounding.

Lommy seems innocent to me. Her posting, though rare, has been extremely helpful, and she was spot on with SPM.

I have a feeling this is going to be a very quiet day... Lalaith was right about a quiet village. Of course for some reason I think it likely she won't be contributing much more than a vote for myself or Mith...

Time to consider doing some homework...

With the past events, i am inclined to take Durelin off my suspicous list, as i said earlier, faithfuls would know better then to risk their own kin to be lynched in this stage of the game

so we have 2 faithfuls, 2 gifted and 4 ordos...hmmm... interesting indeed... personally i am surprised i have survived this long already...


Suspicous:

Hookbill
Lalaith


Less Suspicous:


Legate
Durelin
Mithalwen


Proabably innocent:


Thinlomien

i want to look more of what Kitanna has to say, she has been way too quiet and way too much under the radar, possibly a silent wolf
