Tol-in-Gaurhoth LXIII: The Cottage of Lost Play

[Rikae]

Well? Is anyone else here?

Nogrod, what do you have to say for yourself other than "my plan misfired badly", eh?

Lalaith, what are your thoughts?

Well, on top of what I said already let me elaborate...

We had three suspicious persons yesterDay - as all others had some kind of backing of not being suspicious (well that actually didn't include you Rikae as you had left us no record whatsoever - whatever the reasons but that was the fact). With the last minute I realised we had all those three under a lynch and thought we could make it lynching all of them and thus ending this misery. Surely I took the chance there. And I was wrong with it.

But you were wrong with Autume as well as Lalaith was. Or, well, either of you were making it safe and sound with knowledge.

Looking at Lalaith's vote on Day1 I can't help suspecting you more than her - as you just don't have the record to show.

But I'm afraid of her self-assuredness, agreeableness and softness - which in other situations would be reasons to love her. So let's not make this you against I which will be decided by Lalaith. She might be the rotten apple as well so why to hand the decision to her alone?

Or are you trying just that? Trying to make her believe in your case against me to win alone?

EDIT: X'd with two Rikaes...

[Rikae]

Am I making a case against you? I think you made the case against yourself quite well yesterDay. It's interesting you say we were both "wrong" about Autume... indeed, we were probably both "wrong" rather than "knowledgeable". You correct yourself but leave it in - why? You think it's a good defense... "you were both wrong, I could be innocently wrong too"? - the main point is not that you were *wrong*, but that what you did was an unnecessary risk which reduced the amount of evidence we could go on by ending things prematurely... as you should very well know. As you most likely do know.
Also, of course I hope Lal will vote for you - as it seems to me that's the only chance for a village win.

IF you pulled all this to liven things up, nice work. And yes, I haven't given much to go on, and yes, I'm an excellent target for you (or Lalaith) toDay because of it - which is, most likely, why I'm here.

EDIT: Crossed with Lalaith

[Lalaith]

Well, good morning people. I am quite surprised to be still alive...although quite frankly the way I feel this morning I'm not sure if I *am* alive. I took a few recuperative stiff ones after yesterday's massacre...and I must say that even if I do make it through this "lovely week in the country" I'm not sure my liver will....where's that coffee?

Well I do very much appreciate this java, Nogs, excellent as usual....but I was dismayed by that that triple lynch decision - that was a high risk strategy, one that has turned out to benefit the wolf, and it makes me worried about you.

It is useful, I suppose, that the two people I have to decide between are people I know quite well from the Downs. Well done to whichever one is the wolf...neither of you have seemed at all wolfish to me until now.

So which one? I have to say that by elimination process, my fellow bon viveur Nogrod is my chief suspect at the moment. Not just that triple lynch - also your voting record has not contained anything to convince me of your innocence.
Rikae - your voting record is of course strangely blank - but I just can't square this triangle - I can't believe that a wolf-Rikae would be so nonchalant.

[Lalaith]

Okay, had I been a wolf I could have pretended I missed the vote with one minute or something... Sure. But that's hardly fitting my line

Well that's the thing...you could have said that but we probably wouldn't have believed you, you are too sensible and focused and those of us who know you, know that.

perhaps a Lalwolf would have more reason to expect Nog and I to vote for each other, than a Nogwolf would to expect the same from Lal and I....

Rikae - I've already tried myself to ponder the Nerwen kill to see if it will help me figure things out between you two, and I can't make it work...which ever way you cut this cake Nerwen was probably the most sensible option - she was the one of us whose voting record made her the least likely wolf.

Yes, and the fact that Nogrod seems to disregard what should be obvious to him, too... he knows me well enough to know better, I think. It may not be a fair thing to base my decision on (I really should have been more helpful, after all), but I'll have to use everything I can to make this decision, since everything rests on it.

EDIT: X'd with Lal again
