Oh, and one more thing regarding Eönwe and Eomer -
I can't for the life of me see what was so suspicious about Mith yesterday.

For that matter, I can't see why Sixth was lynched, or why Nerwen thought there was a wolf among Form/Agan/Nilp (not that there isn't), nor why Kitanna voted the indeed suspicious Nerwen for all the wrong reasons, nor why Nogrod was (and is) so quiet. *whew*

That said, there is an innocent (unless cobbler) now known to our ranger, and I suspect it is among those the wolves could be expected to want out of the way early on (which makes me feel better about Nogrod - or possibly, makes the ranger feel better about me? )

Oh, and another thing - Form, in my opinion wolf kills (at least early in the game) are rarely as enlightening as they are made out to be. Usually, they absorb everyone's attention for the first half of the day and then everyone ends up agreeing that it was a "random kill" or possibly a bluff or a double bluff, leaving us where we started, but down an innocent and one day closer to annihilation. Three cheers for the ranger, I say.

EDIT: X'd with Formendacil

True enough... they are very often baffling. That being said, however, they provide more hard evidence than a successful Ranger save does. If nothing else, if one looks at all the suspicions of the eaten, and assume that they were all barking up the wrong trees, then we have that much more reason to look at the wolves.

That being said, I will not press the case too strongly, since for all I know--I'm barking up the wrong trees and the wolves are salivating at the thought. I would certainly prefer in such a case to be saved by the Ranger. I'm just pointing out that there is a pessimistic silvery lining to every gorgeous thunderstorm.

Off to church... back sometime later.
