WW XXIIX - Queer Lodgings

[Thinlómien]

Hullo all!

I'm growing restless about Menel. Every thing he says makes me restless and wary. He really seems quite wolvish. Like Nogrod already said, his jumping on every suspicion he (Menel) notices. Unlike Nogrod, I don't give credit to his suspicion of Rune. Isn't that just the most wolvish thing about him? He agrees with about every bigger suspicion presented in the village, but then slimes away from taking sides and choosing which one to follow, and votes for someone he himself thinks suspicious, who is not generally suspected too much? I mean, he makes a safe vote, but agrees with enough suspicions to seem "reasonable" in the eyes of other villagers and to "keep in good terms" with others. He worries me a lot.

Boro has good points, especially that one about Kath. I'm inclined to believe him innocent.

Ang kind of worries me too. His referral to Kitanna's lat word and slight suggestion that Boro might be guilty in the same sentence just makes me scream "wolf!". Who else but a wolf would really take such words too seriously, or use them to his own advantage?

If you wish to know, what I did in that 20 minutes: I quickly reread the village through, especially Kitanna's and Kath's posts.

As to the two main suspects today:
Kath seems pretty suspicious, but I think Menel (and possibly Ang too) look worse.
Nogrod is still in my "grey zone". There are some valid points against him, but I'd lean him to be more in the innocent side. His frustration of having to use the little time he has to defend himself instead of discussing theories and making analyses seems genuine enough and I think he has valid points in his defence (though his defence is partly reatliatory attack against Kath.)

I also bring you a message from Volo (I know him from RL). He told me: "Tell the villagers (if you have a computer at your disposal), that it's very unprobable that I will be speaking [at all]. And forbid them from killing [me]!" Now, before you jump on him because of that last sentence (for I assume it may sound wolvish to some), I must say that is very like him and his sense of humour, so I don't see it as too incriminating. (Which does not mean I think him innocent.)

I'm afraid I must leave and vote pretty soon.
