Tol-in-Gaurhoth CIII: Big Magic in Middle Earth Arcane Encampment (Game Thread)

[A Little Green]

Great timing to only think of this this late, but I think I managed to put my finger on what bothers me about Boro. I know he's short on time and all that, but the time he does have he seems to use on who he doesn't find suspicious rather than who he does. I would think an innocent Boro, if in a hurry, would rather concentrate on possible wolf-suspects than elaborate arguments on why someone isn't suspicious. It strikes me as fishy.

Thus, giving the squabblers the benefit of the doubt for toDay (chiefly because I can't decide which of them looks worse),

++ Boro


EDIT: x-ed since Shasta's 260, bolding

Oh yah, that makes sense..."I don't know which of these two look the worse so let me vote for someone I'm not that suspicious of, but he always makes me nervous because it's Boro...and well he could be bad because he's Boro."

Thanks hun.

No worries, Boro, her sister's gunning for me because (as far as I can tell) everyone else looks more innocent? I dunno.

[Eönwë]

Well, one of my key suspicions about Greenie was her connection to Cop, but now that I'm considering Cop innocent, most of her other stuff seems pretty good to me.

I don't really find Lottie particularly evil- I haven't really seen anything yet that makes her guilty, despite what people are saying about her.

And it looks like time's running out so I'll stop there and hopefully have more time to express my opinion toMorrow.


However, I'm not too sure about Shasta

Won't lynch:
Lommy
Greenie
McCaber
Cop
Lottie

Might lynch:
Shasta
Nerwen
Boro
Kath

[Eönwë]

Well, I have no idea what the total vote count is, but just to be sure:

++Boro

[Eönwë]

If Boro turns out to be a sorcerer, I think it will be worth it to look at Nerwen toMorrow.

Sally, does Saruman show up as an ordinary sorcerer to the Aura Reader, or will they know if it's him?

Saruman would appear as any other sorcerer.

[Coppermirror]

I'm going to go and re-read the previous Days too, in light of the person I thought was the Aura Reader being different. I'm working on the provisional assumption that Shasta is telling the truth. Either way, we're going to have a wolf in the bag and a revealed Aura Reader.

I think the question about whether the Aura Reader can see Saruman is pretty important.

Also whether the sorcerers know the answer to this question. Please tell us, Sally.

[Coppermirror]

I love this situation.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but now, we have either Shasta and Greenie sorcerers, or Eönwë and Lottie sorcerers.

All of the rest of us:
Kath
Nerwen
Cop
McCaber
Lommy

should now be considered known innocents, I think. Unless something very interesting is going on.

I'm going to go and take a good look over things. We need to get Saruman toDay if we possibly can.

So if Lottie is the Aura Reader, she never dreamed of me. Hmm. I'd previously assumed she had; that's why I thought she was the Aura Reader before.

Nope. If I'd dreamed you, I would've been much more vocal in my support of you - if I recall correctly, when you revealed, I said something along the lines of "well, I guess we can trust her, for now, but don't get too comfortable."

EDIT: Xed with Nerwen

We certainly do– whichever pair are the real wolves, they’re staking everything on Saruman being the one to survive.

I thought as much.

EDIT:X’d with two Lotties.

That’s fair enough. On the other hand, this–

– perhaps answers my concluding question. We’ll see.

Can we bet that neither Lottie nor Shasta are Saruman? Unless it's a severe double-cross to throw the village off his trail for one crucial day. But that seems like more risk than a wolf pack under fire might take.

More specifically, I thought she had probably sent me a few specific "I'm the Aura Reader and I know you're gifted" hints. But if she's telling the truth those would have to be coincidental. And if she's a sorcerer she wouldn't have been able to guess...probably.

[Kath]

Right, after yesterDay's debacle on my part I am posting and voting right now to make sure we don't end up with any stupid modfires.

++EONWE

The only way to find out which of these two are telling the truth is to lynch one of their suggestions. Now Shasta says this one is guilty, Lottie says he is innocent. Therefore lynching Eonwe tells us who the Seer is. If it is Shasta then the pool of potential wolves is much reduced by his dreams. If it is Lottie then we know exactly who to lynch toMorrow. So to me this option makes the most sense.

This is likely to be my only post toDay as I think I am out until past deadline.
