Ok, ok I get the hint. Here is a list (If I get killed in the night for this, Agan, I'm coming after you in the next game):

Prime suspects:
Mithalwen
Shasta
Nogrod

and then there's Eomer

edit: ooh, and maybe Kitanna, but sometimes she seemes really suspicious, and sometimes not at all.

I'm just not sure any more

Well, obviously. You expected something new and contemporary? This is WW, by now, nothing is fresh.

And by the way, I didn't even read your last post so .

edit: spelt obviously wrong.

What I mean is, most of what has been said is what will be said later on, just pieced together differently. It is only in the first few days that people get a chance to say something new (especially on Day 1, and day 1's are never relevant). People just base their suspicions upon older ones and tailor them to suit themselves.

I decided to check the action from yuesterDay before the DL.

The votes at 10 minutes before the deadline were:
Nilp 3
Eomer 2

Of course, if you don't die, we won't know for sure if you are hunter or not... and the wolves might not kill you tonight.

As you see I have bolded two interesting comments there. Form's foresight, readiness to challenge the believability of Eomer's revelation and his open annoyance do raise my eyebrows but they might talk for his innocence as well.

But what on Arda does Eomer mean by saying that he's "not killing an innocent"? Should that be counted as a slip of the angle he's looking the game from? Gah, I don't know. All the reasons would state that he's true (the possibility of the real hunter to pull his bluff, Brinn not changing a gifted to a wolf... ) but I just don't like that sentence. It's not something innocents say.

What's the problem, Nogrod? I speak of the rules of the game regarding the Hunter. If I am lynched I kill whoever I choose to hunt, wolf or innocent. If I am attacked by wolves in the night, I can kill only a wolf. With this rule, I absolutely refuse to be lynched (hence my reveal when there was a danger of this).

You seem to be doing a lot to cause confusion.

Seems like guaranteed Eönwë-style...

I have thought it too eyebrow-raising to be wolf-behaviour but I don't know.

Anyway, wouldn't that be too obvious for a wolf? Even me.

Let me clarify some things regarding the newly turned wolf, so there is not too much confusion.

I did not de-gift anyone. The newly bitten wolf was previously an ordo. It wouldn't have been fair to turn any gifteds, even the cobbler (as I know from personal experience).

Also, if bringing in a new wolf affected Durelin's previous dreams at all, she would have been informed.

Lastly, the new wolf was turned sometime during the extended Night 3. So he/she would've taken part in any wolf planning once informed of the new role.

AnywayX2- aren't wolves always killed in bandwaggons (except really late in the game).

Eonwe:

Votes:
Day 1- Mithalwen
Day 2- Elf-Warrior
Day 3- Nilp
Day 4- Mithalwen

I said that Eonwe's Day 1 vote didn't look suspicious, but I might do a complete flip-flop here on Eonwe who is baffling me right now. (I'll get to that in a bit). Day 2 vote was out of self preservation, that doesn't say anything. Whether wolf or not, most people would want to stay in the village (occassionally we get a couple suicidals).

Quote:
He kept on saying how suspicious he was of her on the first two days, but then on the next two he votes Nilp and today he votes Shasta, specifically avoiding voting Mith. Is he our innocent-turned-wolf.~Eonwe
Seeing as no person has come to refute Eomer's hunter claim I see no reason to believe he isn't the hunter. And the suggestion that Brin would make such a lopsided, unbalanced move to take away one of the gifteds and make him a wolf is ridiculous. (I hope you don't take any offense to this Brin, but if any moderator made such an unbalanced change to completely screw a village, I would never be in that person's village again).

And regarding Eonwe's about Nilp:
Quote:
I miss him already.
An apologetic wolf is not unheard of.

Formendacil:

Votes:
Day 1- Nogrod
Day 2- Elf-warrior
Day 3- Eomer

I still feel neutral about his Day 1 vote, that isn't an odd play when it comes to Form. I don't agree with Rikae at all - would you care to say why you have a hunch about Formendacil? What is it that he says. Because even if he voted for Eomer yesterday, I feel a genuine innocence. He notes my points on Nogrod and on Eomer, and like I said about Kitanna, just seems to come to a well reasoned conclusion.

A wolf Form is perfectly capable of doing that, but right now he is someone who's judgement I trust. Since I'm not all that suspicious of Kitanna, I don't think his defense for Kitanna (because of Durelin's posts) is all that suspicious. But there I go being hypocritical again, because that is a reason Shasta is one of my top suspects.

Edit: crossed with everything since Eonwe's post 419

Thanks Brinn!

And that will seal my case with Eomer unless someone comes to contest his role saying s/he's the real hunter.

I wasn't saying that he wasn't a hunter for sure, I was just looking at things from a different angle. Anyway, you'll see that I soon rejected the theory in any case.
