He has been asking advice from others as an innocent before, so I wouldn't use it as an argument against him. But it doesn't change the fact that other stuff he has done is rather fishy.

(Sorry for the over-using of the word "fishy" by the way.

I just can't think of a better one and I've been thinking about fish quite a lot today for various reasons.

Hmm, so I did go back and look and Nog was right so my suspicions have switched there. Now I am going to have to disappear so I'll vote.

++LEGATE

For the reasons I previously had against Nog!

Hi everyone. I'm here.

Time to read.

I know, but not this much, I think. Or okay, yes you have - when you were cobbler last time we played together. (Or then I just remember/pay attention to it all the times I've been the victim of it... *does not know whether rolleyes or wink would be more fitting*)

I think it's natural to want to know whether someone really suspects you or is just having fun at your expense.

Besides, I don't need any love-doctoring, and especially not on the part of my father...!!!

edit: xed with Kath and Gwath - hey, that rhymes... kind of. Haha.

If we lived in the Indian or Pakistani countryside it would be different...

Good we don't live there though...

Thanks for clarification.

I just realised it's less than 15min until the deadline...

I will probably vote Groin but I'm having slight last-minute doubts...

Thinlómien · 10-09-2008, 02:30 PM

So, Brinn and Legate at two votes, I, Nogrod, Groin and Mith at one? It's either Groin or Brinn for me, then...

So you shy away from Legate in the storm even if you manage to suspect him slightly in low seas...?

X'd with Gwath

Nogrod · 10-09-2008, 02:38 PM

You're too quiet Lommy to be honest in this! You're awaiting something...

Okay. I'm testing both my theory and Lommy at the same time

++ Legate

X'd with Lommy!!!!!

*There goes my test...*

Gaunt · 10-09-2008, 02:38 PM

I am voting for:

++ Groin Redbeard

Nogrod · 10-09-2008, 02:32 PM

There are Brinn and Legate with 2 votes and Gollum has none, so we'd need three for him.

Of those two I'd trust Brinn more than Legate. As you said Lommy, Groin is a possibility but I'm afraid of the outcome as well...

Looking at the more assuring side of it: he tried to capitulate with the flow they had after the ranger was lynched and he saw there was a chance to get me into the hook but backtracked when he saw it was turning against him...

EDIT: X'd with Lommy

Gwathagor · 10-09-2008, 02:33 PM

Ok, I had initially meant to see if Groin maintained his attack against Nogrod tomorrow in order to better judge the motives behind it; however, the rapidity with which he dropped the suspicion toDay after it was called into question by a number of players looks to me like evidence of a guilty conscience, and his explanation (i.e. he was only "testing" Nogrod) is nothing if not flimsy.

++ Groin

EDIT: Crossed with Lommy and Nogrod

Heijjjjj.......... I never said I suspect him! Just go and see. (And as we're reputedly lovers, of course I would act that way if I had suspected him...

)

Seriously though,

++Groin

Sometimes I just don't like making choices but let's hope I'm right about this now...

Now this would point towards there being a struggle between who gets the kill in the first place - so at least two different sides wishing to do that.

That "whatever wargs are" stuff makes me a bit nervous about my interpretation might be true indeed (or then Eomer is just toying with that idea I brought forwards yesterDay and playing me for a fool). I mean why say "whatever wargs are" if not hinting at different ways some of us are tied into this carnage - like with lovers one is the baddie and one is the "goodie" with the intention of her/his baddie winning...

But this rest is just Greek to me ("Hebrew to me" would be the Finnish wording of the same thing):

Quote:

The carnage begins and the originator steps nearer. Unseen is he who shadows the master. Both march to our bleak axis, the confirmation of our pain, towards the slayers we experience as harrowers.

the originator, the unseen who shadows the master? the master = the originator? the slayers?

Oh my... that may be the end of my nice lovers-idea...

But if it is, we're really in trouble with that many villains to kill us...
