WWLXX: At the Prison of Ice

[Thinlómien]

Yes, but some people are suspected even less...

like Bes or Nerwen...

or like you, Mac and Nogrod. I'm starting to think that you all (and me too) are still alive because one of us is a wolf.

That's kind of crappy news because I really don't suspect any of you. So either somebody's fooling me quite brilliantly (Nogrod?) or I am a wolf myself, no, not that but I had to leave it there because it was sort of the logical continuation of the sentence but definitely not what I'm thinking or I'm getting paranoid (which is not good news either) either because the wolves are intending people to get paranoid because of the "veteran loudmouths" all surviving or because it's just random we're all alive.

So, what am I trying to say?

That I'm surprised Eomer died, because I would've assumed to find Bes, Nerwen or Mac to be found dead, or possibly Nog or Boro (or Sally actually) or even Loslote. Eomer is one of the ones who I thought is certainly not dying, I would've seen my own death as more probable than his (at least some people think I'm innocent while more or less everyone seems to be suspecting Eomer to some degree).

And that the slightly prolonged survival of all us "veteran loudmouths" makes me wonder if we others are alive mostly/partly for cover. That has happened many times before. I'm far from convinced that this is true, but it makes me more wary of my fellow "veteran loudmouths" ie Boro, Mac and Nog.

*is making process in learning to phrase things more clearly*

I thought he was more or less on everybody's guilty list, although hardly ever the top suspect...? I can't recall anyone saying he's probably innocent, but I recall many people suspecting him at least a little.

Interesting thoughts. I never thought of it that way. But I doubt I'm going to be next after you said that (...thanks? ). And I hardly need suspicion "turned" against me since already quite a few villagers suspect me - but if I'm right about what people said about Eomer yesterDay, it doesn't make much sense either. And if I was a wolf, I think that would be a rather stupid to make myself look better because reading your post it seems to make me look "worse" (at least from my own perspective, but I'm the only one who knows my role so maybe it affects other people differently, who knows).

here and reading a lot to catch up on...

Eomer doesn't surprise me too much, I don't see him as having had that much suspicion, maybe more general but I don't think it was to the point where he was at much risk of being lynched. What Boro said about all those who voted twice for Mnemo being the kill choices makes sense. And what Lommy said about her suprise that Mac and Nog aren't dead yet, I see what you're saying, but perhaps this was on purpose? The wolves may just want us to think to ourselves "Wow, what kind of dumb wolves would keep those guys alive this long, they much be guilty", in order for us to waste our lynches on useful players. Though I'm not saying it's not possible they're guilty, just that it isn't really all that surprising that their still alive.

About Lottie, it does seem likely that she is indeed innocent, since she was right about Pitch and no one else has come forward about having the special role. BUT, there is still a chance that she is a sneaky wolf who gave up a fellow to make herself look good, and that the person who really does have the secret role either won't reveal because their gift has not come into effect yet, or they can't reveal, or they're dead and there role just wasn't revealed. So there are a large number of possibilities, and not all of them point towards her innocence. Therefore we should eventually lynch her if a few days go by with no success, just on the chance that she wasn't being all that truthful.

Sorry about my disappearing act yesterday, computer issues made it tough for me to come on. I should be around far more toDay, in between study times.

x'ed with Nog

I have been thinking about the same... although I might add Nerwen to the pile...

I try to go to sleep a bit earlier today as I'm in Bronchitis - but as a result of that I'm having a day off from work tomorrow and might use some of the time to actually read and post here more (sadly I have to read a bunch of exams as well even if I have a sick-leave).

I'll stick around a while though if I can come up with any good idea where to look at before going to sleep.
