WW XXXIX - Do Werebalrogs have wings?

[Kath]

I'm sorry, I know I've barely been here toDay but I've been out since midday and only just got back and I want to go watch what's left of Come Dancing so I'm gonna vote quickly and go. I will try to be much more active tomorrow as I shouldn't be as busy!

The Day has seemed mostly to be an argument between Nerwen and Legate, but I don't actually think either is suspicious for it. It reminds me of my argument with Noggie, so I can hardly accuse them on that basis.

The suspects of the Day seem to be Nerwen and Brinn. Well, I don't find Nerwen suspicious and I'm not sure about Brinn. I've seen analyses of her and I can see the arguments against her, and I've also not managed to get a feel on her yet and that, well, lack of anything does suggest some suspicion to me. But I'm not convinced.

Mith has suddenly become very calm but then she hasn't really been under suspicion toDay. Still she answered Nerwen very calmly, so I'm thinking she's innocent at the moment.

Argh, where have I got to.

Probably innocent:
Mithalwen
Legate of Amon Lanc
Nogrod
Nerwen

Really can't get a grip on:
Brinniel
Gil-Galad
Naria
satansaloser2005
Shastanis Althreduin

Huh, so basically I think everyon who speaks is innocent and everyone that doesn't is suspicious. Wrong way round for me!

But, of those I'm left with. Oh I really don't know toDay. Actually, I think I might put Shasta into the innocent list, as reading back over her posts quickly they actually look pretty good. And Naria, I don't think a balrog would have such confusion over how many Night's we've had so I guess she's eliminated. Which leaves Brinn, Gil and Sally.

I don't want to vote Gil. He's really getting involved this game and that's hardly something to be discouraged. It does generally mean he has a role of some kind but I haven't seen enough yet to know if it's a good or bad one.

Brinn or Sally, Brinn or Sally. I've gone over their posts. Brinn's mostly analytical, Sally's a little lacking in substance. So:

++SALLY

Because of the comments around The Might mostly I think. We all know that everything we assume about who he dreamt of is just that, an assumption, so this seems an odd comment:

I just felt the need to throw that out there.

Right, I'm off.

[Brinniel]

Alright then.

++Sally

To have any shot of saving myself. She does have a bit of an odd behaviour, though I'm not sure I would actually call it suspicious. Yet, I think Legate is more likely to be innocent anyway.

[satansaloser2005]

To be truthful, I'm a little concerned about getting voted. But alas, if you all wish to kill me, that will be your decision.

To clarify, I don't find Nogrod suspicious really. I just don't like to assume things too quickly, thus I question Might's clues to us. They could be completely random, but indeed the odds are in favor of Nogrod's innocence. Either way, I don't think he's harboring balrog tendencies.

[satansaloser2005]

Brinn seems fairly happy to sacrifice someone else to save herself by the way. Although I agree with her, Legate is leaning toward innocence in my book too.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

*steps in* So I guess no one goes for Nerwen after all, eh?

Okay. So it's probably Sally or Brinn. It's interesting - I just swiftly looked through Sally's posts and, well, she's not much vocal. The current idea is that I'd rather lose a quieter player than a vocal one. It now find the idea of vocal balrog Brinn around better than that of quiet Sally. But Sally does not seem suspicious - well, she does not seem like anything, because she posts almost nothing. And Nerwen-Sally balrogs could be possible maybe also? (no, I have not dropped that case yet ) Anyway, however it ends, if Brinn is lynched and she's innocent, I say we look at Nerwen tomorrow.

Okay. Don't take everything Legate says uncritically...

I'm sadly not having time to do more right now but I have read the posts that had come after I flew away.

Only three minutes left with the computer. I try to come back later toDay.

I still wouldn't forget Kath either...

[Kath]

Oh yes way to go Gil! I must admit I hadn't been convinced that Brinn was guilty but thank goodness our fabulous Hunter did. Only one balrog left! One out of seven is not bad odds at all.

I'm not going to do a lot tonight (RL) 'cause I'm not feeling great and so not up for analyses or even much thinking in general, but I'll be around, and I'll get some proper thinking done tomorrow.

What I will say is that I still think it fair to consider Legate and Noggie as known innocents, and that does narrow the field of potential balrogs down for me, leaving me with:

Mith
Naria
Nerwen
Shasta

[Nerwen]

Let us have a moment of silence for Gil-Galad, who made the ultimate sacrifice, and Sally, tragic victim of circumstance.

...What the hell was in that post of hers, anyway? I missed the end of the voting.

In fact, I'm rather perplexed by what happened. I logged on last Night to check whether Brinniel or I had been lynched... and it's... Sally?!

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Ugh, have to vote early again. Going with my highest suspicion:

Whatever, being stuck between a rock and a hard place is really cozy...you should try it sometime

I would go with Shasta and vote for Kath. She has been vocal and has managed to stay under the radar at the same time. Kath can be very tricksy, but meh...I feel like showin her some love, so I'm going to leave her alone.

I work early tomorrow morning and I won't be home till way after Days end. So I am forced to make my vote now.

I am going to go for Legate *gasps of awe and shock from the audience* Yes I did say that what TM said made Legate look more innocent to me, but in light of yesterDays blunder...I'm not convinced anymore. I can't quite put my finger on it...hmm I think it's the way that he has be so sure of what he is doing(to me at least--a little abnormally sure) with little or no wavering. This might be his style of play, but I'm not ready to just accept that either.

It's late and I need to go to bed...

Yep a 2 posts per day average must be a record ....

[Mithalwen]

Oh mandos .... I get stuck with the casting vote .... and I can never make decisions ..... 2 suspects and I trust some of the voters in both camps more than others ...

[Brinniel]

Sally, did you change your post? I swear it read something differently a second ago...

[satansaloser2005]

Alas it appears this will be my dying post, so I shall wish you all good luck in your balrog hunting endeavors, just in cae. I hope to play again with you all soon either way!

Yeah I did. Sorry I miscounted the votes and was saying a quick goodbye was all. Basically "good luck guys" but since I miscounted I just edited my post so I didnt have to post again about Legate and stuff.

[Mithalwen]

Gah that is making it hard from me ... that kind of post is really inappropriate and changing it....

[Mithalwen]

Given that I saw the content I don't know what to do - faux naive... Nerwen, legate is quite good to have around ..... this lovers thing bothers me - makes it hard to be definite about folk

[satansaloser2005]

Sorry about that, just a little jumpy today. I put the original information back in. My mistake :S

[Thinlómien]

Please, stop discussing. Sally is dead. Role revelation and narration to follow.
