Tol-in-Gaurhoth XIII: Enter Shamville

[Kitanna]

Kath? Kath and her wisdom and brains will be missed. But I cannot dwell on her death at the moment for time presses me and I have only time to look at one of the two beloved dead and since Menel died first I will examine the cause of his death.

I’m quite concerned with the people who voted for Menel. All those votes seemed to come out of left-field. Looking back on posts from yesterday I still didn’t see any reason behind his lynching.

Meneltarmacil - hmmm, not really sad enough, considering the circumstances, he's half way between the half way point and the guilty point

The not being sad enough part was what through me off really. That seems like a strange reason, especially on day 2 to suspect someone. But Wilwa seemed to suspect Glirdan and Lalaith above Menel, didn’t vote.

Firefoot mentioned Menel early on due to the fact he was slightly suspicious of Kuru. Anguriel posts next seconding the fact Menel (and Kath) both were really the only ones to suspect Kuru. Still nothing as to why Menel garnered enough votes to be lynched.

When Firefoot posted her long analysis Menel was listed as “in between”. She’s not sure what to think of him. Yet she still puts him in her overall suspicious group.

Tar calls for Menel to speak more a while later. Asks for his reason as to why he would have voted for Glirdan on day one. Celuien asks him to do the same shortly after that. Firefoot brings him up later asking for him to speak more and she has now moved him up on her list of suspect. Some time later another plea from tar for Menel to speak up. But doesn’t really list him as suspicious.

Firefoot votes for Menel first, but she was naming him as a suspect all day. So, her vote wasn’t really a surprise to me. She had named him in many of her posts as suspicious, it is the other voters I am worried about. Anguriel says after Firefoot’s vote he might vote for Menel and then Celiuen says she agrees with all Firefoot has said on the matter concerning Menel.

Now here I get into an interesting post from Anguriel.

Celuien, I'd much rather lynch Menel than Wilwa and am alarmed at the pace at which this is developing...if you commit yourself and vote for Menel now, I'll follow you at once.

Then Celuien votes for Menel and gives a reason due to his silence and protests the Wilwa bandwagon. An attempt to save a wolfish Wilwa, possibly…Then as stated Anguriel follows with his own vote for Menel. No reason (in this post), just a vote.

Eonwe votes for Menel. For what appears to be a random vote. Kath votes for Menel. So aside from Firefoot is seemed like all votes for Menel came from nowhere, but I only did a quick skim of the posts from yesterday. I have much to do in the next few hours, but then I will be free until day ends so I will have plenty of time to go through again and correct my mistakes. But before I go I’m going to call on Wanye to speak more today. His two posts and then vote for Wilwa are not very helpful.

Well it seems in the time it took me to reread and type all that our seer has come forward. Should I have been one of your dreams Wilwa please, feel free to reveal to the village. And of course, as though the ranger needs prompting, please ranger, protect our seer tonight.

EDIT:

Perhaps we could make another kind of vote on who everyone wants me to dream of toNight.

There is a lot of buzz and uncertainty around lmp, Anguriel, tar, and Lalaith. Perhaps a dream about one of them?
