Okay. Don't take everything Legate says uncritically...

I'm sadly not having time to do more right now but I have read the posts that had come after I flew away.

Only three minutes left with the computer. I try to come back later toDay.

I still wouldn't forget Kath either...

[Kath]

Oh yes way to go Gil! I must admit I hadn't been convinced that Brinn was guilty but thank goodness our fabulous Hunter did. Only one balrog left! One out of seven is not bad odds at all.

I'm not going to do a lot tonight (RL) 'cause I'm not feeling great and so not up for analyses or even much thinking in general, but I'll be around, and I'll get some proper thinking done tomorrow.

What I will say is that I still think it fair to consider Legate and Noggie as known innocents, and that does narrow the field of potential balrogs down for me, leaving me with:

Mith
Naria
Nerwen
Shasta

Let us have a moment of silence for Gil-Galad, who made the ultimate sacrifice, and Sally, tragic victim of circumstance.

...What the hell was in that post of hers, anyway? I missed the end of the voting.

In fact, I'm rather perplexed by what happened. I logged on last Night to check whether Brinniel or I had been lynched... and it's... Sally?!

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Ugh, have to vote early again. Going with my highest suspicion:

Whatever, being stuck between a rock and a hard place is really cozy...you should try it sometime

I would go with Shasta and vote for Kath. She has been vocal and has managed to stay under the radar at the same time. Kath can be very tricksy, but meh...I feel like showin her some love, so I'm going to leave her alone.

I work early tomorrow morning and I won't be home till way after Days end. So I am forced to make my vote now.

I am going to go for Legate *gasps of awe and shock from the audience* Yes I did say that what TM said made Legate look more innocent to me, but in light of yesterDays blunder...I'm not convinced anymore. I can't quite put my finger on it...hmm I think it's the way that he has be so sure of what he is doing(to me at least--a little abnormally sure) with little or no wavering. This might be his style of play, but I'm not ready to just accept that either.

It's late and I need to go to bed...

Kath, when you voted Sally, you had this to say:

++SALLY

Because of the comments around The Might mostly I think. We all know that everything we assume about who he dreamt of is just that, an assumption, so this seems an odd comment:

Quote:
I just felt the need to throw that out there.

Now, I disagree. I think Sally actually made quite a good suggestion. I believe it’s worth thinking about what the Might said again. In case people’s memories are getting hazy, here are the facts:

The Might did practically nothing the first Day, finally popping in to vote Nogrod (#50) on the grounds that it was his "instinct".

On the second Day, he made comments about four people:

He made a sudden about-face on Nogrod, again claiming it was based on “feeling” (#86).

He said he thought Legate was a good guy, but that this was based on examining his posts (#86).

(He states his support for these two again at #117.)

Apparently following Nogrod’s lead, he expressed suspicion of Macalaure (#91), which he repeated at #95, this time saying it was because

First he posts, saying that he must quickly leave and has no time to comment on anything else, so it looks to me as if he was kind of in a hurry.
Still, he finds time 5 minutes later to post again in a quite defensive trying to explain why Nogrod and Gil ended up as those he suspected most.

He voted against Mac at #117.

In passing he said he found Kath suspicious, but didn’t say why (#117).

We know the Seer only dreamed twice before he was foully murdered, so no more than two of his comments can be based on direct knowledge. In the case of Legate and Mac, he gave only fairly slight reasons for his beliefs. For the other two, Kath and Nogrod, none at all.

He says he is

not entirely sure

about Kath, but

quite certain

about Mac (#117).

That sounds as if he doesn't have any special knowledge about Kath.

The consensus view (not sure who said what, and I don’t have time to check) seems to be that The Might probably dreamed of Nogrod (innocent), plus either Legate (innocent) or Mac (guilty).

That seems a reasonable conclusion, and yet– what’s really worrying me now is that when Sally said,

Also I'm not terribly at ease with the fact that everyone assumes Might has dreamed about certain people. Now it does make sense from Might's posts that he DID dream about Nogrod, but perhaps it was just his voting of Mac that cleared him in Might's eyes. Besides Nogrod however, and even that is fuzzy, I am very uncertain as to who Might might have dreamed of. I just felt the need to throw that out there.

Kath suddenly went after her (#214).

So, I'm not liking the look of you right now, Kath.

I also want to look at Naria, if I have time.

[Nerwen]

One thing though: Kath did state explicitly that her reason for voting Sally was Sally's caution against making assumptions.

Would she be that obvious if she were a balrog? I don't know.
