Tol-in-Gaurhoth CXIV – The Evil Breath of Morgoth in Dor-lómin, game thread

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I should make some summary or something because I keep reading people and thinking half of everything people say looks fishy, which does not bode well.

I wasn't really worried about Zil until he said this.

I really don't like that Sally keeps bringing up the idea that both Mac and Hui are wolves. Sure, it's always possible, but I find it less likely. It feels like she is trying to use this as a distraction from the Mac voters, herself included.


What, are you feeling miffed that people are calling your kills boring and safe?

And this to keep in mind if either of Brinn or Sally turns out to be a Wolf. It almost sounds like a good Wolf-on-Wolf banter to me. (Warning: I'm gonna mention Wolf-on-Wolf few times here and I'm aware it isn't helpful at the moment. This whole post is sort of "for referrence".)

I somehow don't know at all what to do with Eönwë's way of posting, he seems as if his train of thought is "removed" from many of the trajectories the "mainstream debate" takes. Nothing against that. Regardless however some points he makes make me wary, but there is a lot of innocentish stuff too. He has just been drawing my eye recently.

To file: this is so hypocritical and the following is so "casual" that it may be a soft Wolf-on-Wolf.

In my case, I was watching the votes basically be a perfect tie and thinking "well these reactions are gonna be interesting." I didn't have a good enough read on either Huin or Mac to warrant specifically saving one or the other, and I didn't have an evil-enough read to warrant condemning one or the other, so I was concentrating more on the voters than the votees.

I am uneasy with Lhuna's post about bandwagons and stuff, also didn't originally make anything out of her reaction to Hui's "wolf e-mails"; this however sounds a bit like it could be faked:

But I should probably focus on something where I am a bit more certain. These are sort of shouts in the dark.

Just overall: it's very nice how some people say "there are WWs unlikely to be in first half of Huiwagon" (Lottie) or equally dogmatically "there are WWs likely to be in the first half of Huiwagon" (Eönwë) or "there has to be a Wolf among Huiwagon" (Lommy) - point is, there doesn't have to be anything anywhere, still, in this big village.

I am wondering about Brinn and the first Day Brinnwagon and everything related to it. It seems clear that Hui stayed off it, and his generic behaviour is sort of avoidant (not naming too many suspects, being friendly where he could, etc.). Can it point to some pattern in his behaviour in relation to his voting strategy? Meaning, are those he voted likely to be innocent? (We know G55 was "innocent", in the sense, she was a non-Wolf.) And could Brinn be his packmate?

Knowing myself, I am unlikely to make a conclusive statement after I re-read his posts once again, but I will try. (I promise not to post a novel on it though, because it's been here many times already. I find it good however that everyone is trying to do their own maths.)
