At least do it before you vote so that the posterity can then catch you on that.


Or let's make a more accurate question: which evidence you think counts or what kind of data is important? Let us have your take on the relative merits of different issues (using certain kinds of words, voting in certain way, being backed up by someone, reacting in a way X or Y to something, having a seeming relation to someone, being suggested guilty / innocent by X or Y...). Let us hear you.

Do not let yourself too easy with this. It's much more fun if you give it some real effort.


Good night and good luck!

I've read everything, don't worry.

My reaction to yor vote-explaining post was "of course he would say that."

You want more evidence?

I said some things in my analysis, although that is kind of outdated. In my conclusion I said that your posts give me good vibes, but now that is changed.

Your Lottie-vote didn't change anything at all. If you are her packmate, your vote would make you look innocent. As I said before, you only started pressing her and "noticing" queer things about her after Shasta got the stone rolling towards her. You answered some things here, but the Lottie-vote-excuse is still shoddy.

Then your vote for Mith - came, as I said, almost out of nowhere. I'm not speaking about Mith now and whatever faulty and questionable things she's said; I'm just analysing your vote. You've voiced suspicion for her twice just before voting, but never before. Were there just way too many people having Kit on their suspect list for you to care about her being lynched? And you would look better for your eleventh jour change of heart.

As soon as there are people voting Kit, you're out of it, though she has been one of your top suspects.

Your first post toDay (340):

Quote:
Way to go Lommy! I suspected Mith already yesterDay mainly because of the way she could be seen trying to help Lottie (while no one else did - and there are still two of her mates around!) and I have also felt a bit uneasy with some of her wolf's POV speculations, not that that couldn't or shouldn't be done, but they have been kind of "detailed" one wouldn't expect from an ordo.
In other words, "thank you Lommy for giving me another good reason to back up my vote".

And there's your change of heart about me after I voiced my suspicion. I recall you thought me an innocent. Now you suspect both me and Greenie (though she has been on your ist longer than I). Why? For not liking the way you post?

Moreover, your post that I quoted above is just too passionate. However feeble this reason is, it's weighing the scale down.


And speaking of Mith: she has posted very little of content toDay, but a lot of high emotions. Makes me wonder. But I think her reasoning is very valid.


This took me waaaaay too long. I'm late!!

++Nog

I'm eating socks and hats tomorrow if he's innocent. Deal?

Edit: xed since the post I quoted

During this day, accusations had been flying, and tempers among the castaways seemed to be getting frayed. Almost the votes were settled against Nogrod, but in the end the decision was that Mithalwen would be the one lynched.

As she was led to the unfortunately now-familiar makeshift gallows, Mithalwen held her head high, walking in stiff silence. Some of the onlookers wondered, hoping they had not made the same mistake as with Kitanna, that they were executing an innocent.

At the decisive moment, the group held its collective breath. As the body grew limp, a grey mist once again emerged, shimmering in the light of the dying Sun. It seemed the spirit beings, whatever their nature, could not stand sunlight without a body to house them.

The mist coalesced into a threatening figure, looming over them, then it dissolved to nothingness. With relief, the mariners got ready to face another night, with the knowledge they had only to find one more of the evil among them

Nerwen: Ranger (knocked over a cliff by baddies Night 3)
Mithalwen: Evil Spirit (lynched Day 3)

IT IS NIGHT 4

Seer and remaining spirit send your pick.

Nogrod awoke in the night with a powerful thirst. He reached for his water skin, to find only a few drops in it. He silently cursed himself for not remembering to fill it before dark. Now, he would have to make the walk to the stream nearby.

He did not relish the thought of going alone, but remembering that only one of the evil killers was now left to trouble them, he thought he would be safe enough, as long as he was wary.

As he made his way to the stream, he found a stout dead tree-branch that could serve well as a club, and carried it with him. He entered the woods, which seemed filled with sly, secret sounds. Some of the sounds could have been footsteps, and his grip on the makeshift club tightened.

He reached the stream. Glancing about him, straining his senses, he filled the skin. Straightening again, he turned to go. Just then a weight smote him from above, knocking him to the ground, and a tightening band was around his throat, cutting off his air. The fiend had hidden in a tree! Though he struggled, his attacker was relentless, and darkness came over him.

************************************************** **************************************************

The body was found the next morning, next to the stream, and taken to the beach.

As the ragged crew contemplated this fresh horror, Nilpaurion Felagund gave a cry, pointing out to sea. As the others looked, they saw a white shape floating upon the waves about a furlong away. It looked like one of the spare sails the ship had carried. It would be a crucial component of any craft they could fashion themselves, but it did not seem to be approaching the coast; rather, the reverse. Before anyone could stop him, Nilp jumped into the water and began swimming toward the sail. The rest shouted at him to return, that the currents were too dangerous, but he did not heed them. He was a strong swimmer, and quickly neared the sail. Before he could gain a grip on it though, he was pulled away from it, out to sea. He was caught in a rip current! Legate quickly jumped in the ocean and swam toward him, with the despairing wails of the others in his ears. Nilp had disappeared. Legate reached the place where he was last seen, then he too was caught in the current. Those on the beach held onto one another, to prevent any more rescue attempts. Soon Legate too was gone, and the sail swept by out of reach, as if to mock them.

Okay, so Nogrod's dead. After thinking about it through the Night, I totally expected that - the baddies probably thought he was the seer after his consistent voting of wolves. Also means I was apparently wrong in voting for him. Galadriel55 is looking newly suspicious to me, as the other person to vote him.
