What would tip things on a major scale is the KMs getting blocked by Anarion tonight, hence this is the last day for our friendly neighborhood Amandil.

Fair enough. I was just thinking of the slight advantage of having, for instance, Agan know that Nog is Isildur. If Agan reveals it rather than Nog doing it himself, then we know (or rather, can likely conclude) we can trust both of them, rather than just the one. But yes, you're correct, and I'm certainly not saying I want Shasta killed. I don't want the mean men to hurt my favorite psychic.

EDIT: x'd since the quoted Phantom

That's true to an extent, Lottie- but only if said Ordo can bury some sort of "X is Isildur/Anarion" code in their posts to point back to, because they can't ever know at what point Isildur/Anarion actually wants them to step out and reveal them and the Ordo would probably be reluctant. And there's the added layer of one of the KMs successfully doing it as a bluff. If I was a KM without a doubt I'd have a list of top Gifted prospects and at this point it'd be very small for each role. So they just bury a code and then when Isildur/Anarion outs they point to it and *bang* they're a "proven" Ordo. Then the other Ordo steps up & says "no you're not" and then it's a fight that the KMs are more likely to win given their automatic voting loyalty block.

But anyway, still working on a reactions post from earlier today....
