But an innocent tp has a reason to declare me innocent - he thinks I am.

I'm not sure why you had to go and say it, but yes, since you said it- ding ding ding. Bingo.

(And btw, I'm 99% certain it worked.)

If you are that certain it worked than your theory of me being Shelob wouldn't hold water. You should know by now, I wouldn't follow what you say about anyone if I wasn't sure we were on the same side.

I guess it's possible that as a stung and changing spiderling, I wished to blow up that plan and report back to Shelob to ignore you. But that could be done in private. And again if you are certain it worked then me being a stung and now spiderling doesn't hold water again.

So what does hold water? Baths hold water. Washing machines too.

Wait, head went to steamy baths for a moment. Where was my train of thought? Ah, yes, that by me pointing this out at the time I did, and not doing any sort of rewind, I was sure it either worked, or by saying it now it does not spoil the plan from working if it hasn't already succeeded.

[Inziladun]

Ok, Lottie. I think you've at least dissuaded me from voting you toDay.

[Nogrod]

Boro?

You make me really nervous with your answer!

I thought your reaction to tp would have been, "yay, great, so we're on the same wavelength!" but you go on defending yourself against a non-existant "Boro is Shelob" -theory? Or did I miss something of importance?

(Moddess?? have you already said something about this and I just missed it, or are you not going to tell us?) I know from the admin thread that the way it worked was that Shelob sent Cupcake a list of a few she would like on her side, and the Moddess picked one randomly, and that's who was bitten from the start, and who Sam had a chance to save yesterDay.

That I doubt we will know as it would fall under Sam's and the absolute *no reveal* stuff. I would imagine Sam knows, and since Sam is not under any threat from Shelob, can be as aggressive as Sam desires in leaving the clear path to his actions (without directly saying "Hey I'm Sam and I cured this person!")

Phantom's post at the top of page 6. It's not much, but then later he asks for others opinions on his theories about me being stung or Shelob.

[Nogrod]

wilwa: I don't think anyone wishes to lynch Lhuna toDay as we have more or less good ideas that Sam probably would have tried to heal her last Night - thus making her innocent toDay even if stinged.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Boro is probably evil.

Maybe I'll vote for him, just for fun.

[Lhunardawen]

For now I feel comfortable about Zil.

I'm uneasy about Lottie but she won't be getting my vote toDay.

I want to figure out Boro so I won't vote for him, either.

wilwa seems to be playing safely. Not good.

Weak. We both know the only reason you are making that choise is because

You. Me. Handuffs. It always ends that way.

[the phantom]

All right, so, information important to which way I will be inclined to vote today.

In looking back I think I should've placed Bom on the potential Shelob list, but I consider him one of the least likely of the ones I can't rule out yet. So yeah, not voting for him.

And as you know not voting for Phantom, Wilwa, or Lottie.

Nog and Shasta- they haven't done anything to make me want to vote for them, so they're unlikely at this stage.

Fea is not Shelob, and is almost certainly not a Spiderling (but techinically can't cross her off yet). I'm not voting for her.

Nerwen is a possible compromise for me, primarily because I can't rule her out and she voted for me. Not strong reasoning at all, but there it is. I'd vote for her to save someone I like, but I wouldn't form a bandwagon against her.

Lhuna cannot be a Spiderling, but may be Shelob, and I'd really like to do my thorough cross-examination of her tomorrow, so I'd prefer to give her a pass for one more day. Like I said before, I'd rather take out Shelob Day 3 than Day 2.

Boro is looking... bleh... by simple elimination he appears to be the best candidate, as well as the possible suspicious behaviors I pointed to.

[the phantom]

What? Why the Lottie vote? Given the dynamics I created and the failure to sting last night she's about the least likely evil-doer here.

Evidently you didn't read enough of those threads to have a Phantogasm, Bom.

Can't wait.


++Bom Tombadillo

Still my best Shelob guess at this point.

[Nogrod]

Oh my, Boro. I could parrott Lottie in a way as having an idea on what you were doing overall.

But I refer to tp's latest

So you said tp was trying to suggest Shelob picking certain people making them know to all & thus making the jobs of Sam & the Doc easier. tp answers that Bingo, that's what I was doing... (only being slightly annoyed you said it out aloud)

And then your reaction is to start to defend ypourseöf against a theory of you being Shelob? I don't understand... and I thought I had an idea of you as an innocent doing a thing...

(Finland got 2-1 lead against the Slovakian surperstars... I might be watching something of the rest of the game )

[Nogrod]

Let's make it better toDay than yesterDay and make our ideas known before the last minutes.

Everyone coming in at this hour and only saying I'll vote for X should be really looked after with a magnifying-glass toMorrow.

I think Lhuna is innocent toDay.

I think Lottie would have been a too risky choice from Shelob.

I think tp has a good thing going.

I'm torn with Boro as I thought he had a good thing going on but am not so sure any more. It would help me to decide if you Boro told us why you reacted to that last post of tp in that defencive way as it should have been an offering of a hand to you?


Last minutes of the ice hockey game going on... Finland still leads... back soon.

Fairy nuff. Phantom gets frustrated when his plots are suddenly revealed and usually believes anyone who tries to foil them by making them known has to be evil. I took the "I'm not sure why you had to say it" as a suspicion, or in the very least a sarcastically frustrated tp, not a helping hand.

Still. If he gets me lynched simply because of a process of elimination, when he's continuing to dangle the more suspicious Lhuna out, that will lie on him.

[Bom Tombadillo]

I'm confused . . . *sigh* Anyway, tp, wilwa, and Lottie are making me suspicious, as I said earlier, and my suspicions of usin' mah Noggin and Double-O-88 have decreased some; hearing little from Lhuna is also fascinating me, but for now I want to test my theory about the dynamic trio by voting

++Loslote

'cause wilwa hasn't done anything interesting yet and phanty is a valuable asset if innocent.

EDIT: Irony-ninja'd by the very person I commented on not being active toDay (and Boro. James Boro.)
