Tol-in-Gaurhoth XVIII: The Play’s The Thing…

[Celuien]

...most of the following written before the opening of this DAY...

Hurray! We've taken out a wolf! Thank you to everyone whose eyes were clearer than my own yesterday. I had the ++EOMER vote written with the tagline "for Gifted-impersonation" based on the evasive hints he was trying to distract the village with. And was ready to submit it until the false-Guardian declaration. With no time to discuss the issue, I panicked over the possibility of lynching a Gifted and switched to Tar-A. Fortunately, enough of you were more insightful and had already voted for the tricksy villian that my error didn't make a difference.

I'm pretty sure the following are innocent based on record against Wereomer:
Morm
Nilp - first to vote Eomer.
SPM

Tar-a is most likely innocent since Wereomer tried so hard to use her as the diversion to save his furry neck.

And if I dare say it, I think the last minute business between Eomer and myself yesterday exonerates me. As a wolf, I would never have made such a visible move when it was likely that he would be revealed as lupine. I only voted the way I did on the chance that the last 'I am your Guardian' statement was true.

Now, in light of Eomer's guilt, who is looking the furriest today? In no particular order:

1. Aiwendil, who led off the shift toward tar-a.

Now, I don't want to follow Farael's specious reasoning about lynching someone for "information", but I do think that if tar turns out to be a wolf, then Eomer is probably a wolf too. That vote for Eomer on DAY 1, passed off as a random vote with no evidence, looks very much like a wolvish trick to me. And, much as I hate to mention "past lives", I've, uh . . . heard that an ancestor of Form did much the same thing to an ancestor of Spawn in a village my great-great-grandfolks lived in.

On the other hand, if tar and/or Eomer are innocent, I will certainly be taking a closer look at Mormegil.

Sets tar-a's guilt as a condition for Eomer's guilt. I think she's probably innocent. If we had lynched her yesterday and then followed this line of reasoning, Eomer would have been off the hook. At the same time, Aiwendil has been logical. He could be another tricksy wolf, but he could also be trying to reason things carefully and be afraid of makng dramatic statements as a result.

...here begins new material. By bad luck, my schedule for overnight shifts happens to conincide with DAYs here. So I'm still at work and so don't have much time to continue analysis right now. Have to be brief, but will expand after I get off tomorrow...

2. Farael - he's confusing me. Major points against him already outlined.

3. Kath - again, already pointed out as another early tar-a voter.
