Well I read most of page 10 (I think?).
First, I think we are obligated to (at the very very least) seriously consider lynching our seer's most suspected - if only because he was the seer. To do otherwise would be irresponsible, and unfair to the seer. Regarding Aganzir and Feanor o' the Peredhil: I notice tgwbs had the two of them listed as "most guilty," and not "most suspicious." Given that tgwbs consistently pro-lynching-Fea from Day 1, the fact that he makes a sharp shift in his approach to Aganzir between Day 1 and Day 2 indicates to me that he may have dreamt of her in between, and not Fea. Day 1 he calls her reasonable, Day 2 he calls her "most guilty." I guess, to conclude, I think Aganzir deserves as much attention as Fea - but I don't think a double lynch is in order - was that Mac that suggested that? That's crazy. Look what happened last time. Anyway, I'll vote in 7 hours or something when I wake up. I feel like reading pages 11 and 12, but I really have to go to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow.

Gwath, you say that we kill Agan and Fea but not in a double-lynch. Why? It would enable us to dispose of two birds with one stone, and buy us another day. It does- I admit- look like a risk, but a calculated risk and worth a shot.
And I'm not trying to throw suspicion here on you, Gwath, I'm just questioning your point.

Okay, when saying Nog would probably have been lynched even without Gwath's vote, I forgot the Nog saving attempt. I just thought he would have gathered quite a lot votes nonetheless. However I don't think Gwath could foresee the bandwagon. Quote:

Summary
Guilty
Fea. Time will tell for sure. Mac. See case against him. Innocent Lari. If she's a wolf she's so totally awesome she deserves to win. Brinn. Feeling rather good about her. She's reasonable. Boro. I noticed something I found weird in his communication with Fea when reading her posts earlier, but I'm not going to hold it against him as long as we don't know Fea's role for sure & I haven't checked what it was. Neither sally. I will probably have to take a look at her posts at some point, not because I would find her especially suspicious but because I have no idea about her. Kath. I'm leaning towards innocent but I'll read through her posts once before deciding anything. Shasta. Where is he? Five posts. Strongbow. Where on earth is he? Five posts, his last one is from the beginning of day 2. Gollum. No idea. Cailíneomer. Six posts.

Oh, and I didn't say we kill both Agan and Fea, I just said we should seriously consider doing so. There is, as Aganzir pointed out, the possibility, however slight, that tgwbs did not dream of one or both of them. Maybe he only dreamt of innocents; it's possible.

I have to vote now, unfortunately. I'm not really sure who's voted for who at this point since I missed a lot, but I'm going to vote
++Aganzir Because 1) we owe it to ourselves and our seer to go after either her or Fea, and 2) I see pretty strong evidence that tgwbs may have dreamt of Aganzir on Night 2 (I think it is) as I stated in my post #521.

If I have time at some point today I shall look over the posts between Fea and Boro since the beginning but there is a high probability that I won't be able to get in before the vote deadline.

Well, I'm off to work but just wanted to say this.
Gwath makes an excellent point about TGWBS possibly dreaming Agan. I would be amenable to lynching her toDay as well. Which is to say that I'm okay with a Fea lynch OR an Agan lynch, but I don't think we've thought it out enough to risk a double. Besides, I don't think enough people support it for it to be a good idea. That is all. See you (hopefully) toMorrow.

I do not see why either of the two ladies should see the light of Day 4. If we are wrong and the lynch results are disastrous, we can blame the Short Wild Guy for categorising carelessly. If Fea is guilty, the reasonable thing to do is to lynch Aganzir the day after. If Miss Peredhil is not guilty (which pretty much everyone agrees is not very likely), we shall still be nervous about Aganzir till the end of our days. Let's clean this mess and catch up on those critics.
++Aganzir Not to say that her Mac analysis was not spectacularly elaborate. If there is considerable opposition to a double-lynch, I would naturally rather hear Fea's final aria. Last edited by Cailín; 01-13-2009 at 08:52 AM. Reason: cross-posted with Sally |

Huhm. The phantom predicted that I would die Night 4 without leaving a trace. This seems now quite plausible, and we all know that he is somewhat psychic.
Gollum is innocent. Sally is evil. This shall be my epitaph. |

Sally looks rather innocent. There's just the way she changed her opinion on Menel on day 1 because he retaliated Mac's suspicion by voting him that looks odd, but then again when she said it, also her earlier main suspect Nog had votes. So it doesn't look like jumping on bandwagon. And her reasoning sounds innocentish.
I don't think that her willingness to prevent a double lynch makes her look more innocent, but it doesn't make her look more suspicious either. Also a critic would have reasons to avoid double lynch even if a fellow wasn't involved - just to look good. Her Gollum vote doesn't look very good given that first Brinn voted him randomly and then sally. Her reasoning is okay though - that Gollum didn't try to prevent a double lynch but refrained from voting. Kath was planning to vote for Fea already on day 1 but voted Ilya. Overall she looks quite innocent too. Gwath I think you were more sensible when you were still wavering about the double lynch. The wolves are the only ones who will benefit from it. Quote:
Cailín's vote makes me feel worse about her. I admit being biased and I might do the same if I was innocent and there were two people of whom it looked like the seer had dreamed, but here the only problem is that at least one of these people is innocent, and in addition to me only the wolves know it. That's why I can see the wolves as the most likely speakers in favour of a double lynch. Quote:
Why is it so quiet?

This next post will be grossly generalising and depending on the roles of people who live, but maybe still worth something.
Case 1: Aganzir is a critic - how would the other critics react to the double-lynch idea? They certainly don't want it to happen, but not at all cost. They know one thing: Aganzir will be dead before the end. If we don't lynch her today, we will lynch her tomorrow or once we run out of other suspects. She will under no circumstances make it til the end. Therefore, she is not worth getting yourself into trouble for. The reaction I'm looking for: carefulness, saying that Aganzir is probably evil, maybe even adding points to it, but trying to dissuade from a double-lynch, as sneaky as possible. Sure, they could be against it more openly, or try to make themselves look good by wanting to lynch her, but I've got the feeling that the described way is a good place to find a critic - in this case. Case 2: Aganzir is not a critic - how would the critics react then? They are for it. Definitely. How strongly? Well, they have the seer to hide behind and they have me as the prime scapegoat if it goes wrong. I'm looking for those who are for it but immediately provide a possible excuse for tomorrow. Of course, they could think that it is dangerous to burn one's fingers in this, but the circumstances are very promising. And now let us see: Lari Doesn't say anything for a very long time. Fea is clearly guilty to her and she leans innocent for Aganzir, which is surprising clear. Guilty Aganzir still points towards her guilt. She votes for Fea, of course. Boro Quote:
Quote:
Gollum Thoroughly confused while trying to catch up, which looks good for him in either way. Then: Quote:
Brinn Quote:
Quote:
Kath Quote:
Sally She went through tgwbs's posts and said she found the same as everyone. She does not mention Aganzir once. A guilty Aganzir strongly points towards a guilty Sally. Quote:
Quote:
Later she suggests Gollum and Cailineomer as candidates for a double lynch she could go with. She doesn't say why Aganzir is not an option. (Complete omission of her is more than I expected, to be honest.) She also throws in a very vague suspicion of me that she will not pursue yet. Quote:
Gwath Quote:
Quote:
He then votes for Aganzir which is surprising, but could be explained by nervousness after Gollum's call. Cailineomer Quote:
So there. Case 1: Gwathagor (very suspicious) Sally Kath Brinn Lari Boro (only a little suspicious) Case 2: Cailineomer Gollum (both only a little suspicious) I did this mostly because Aganzir was starting to convince me. Her replies showed just the right amount of defense, offense, outrage, and helpfulness. I would like to believe you Aganzir, really, but pretty much all evidence is against you (though Brinn's points are valid ones). The only thing that could really dissuade me is probably Fea's unlikely innocence. Quote:

We clearly need a vote count:

That's impressive, Mac. Only a pity that I'm innocent.
However what I find funny is that I was about to say myself that sally's suggestion of lynching Cailín or Gollum didn't sound that bad. I wonder what's going to happen if Bowie doesn't appear today. Or Shasta, but I think he will.

Well she's obviously innocent, much the same way that I'm obviously innocent, in that TGWBS put both of us in the same category with no qualifying statements such as apparent hints. The only difference is that he voted for me, which I put down to not having dreamed of a critic (only the innocents that art Boro and Kath), and obviously somebody's got to be the most suspicious, and let's face it: I'm always the most suspicious. Add on that little chat I had with the phantom on the very first day, as well as the fact that TGWBS died after two hard days of gunning for me, well of course I'm seen as guilty.
And Agan got pinned right up with me on top of the list, though I don't particularly know why. I recommend you pick one of these options and go with it: 1) I'm a critic/Walter and I know that Agan isn't on my side, or 2) I'm innocent, and I seriously think TGWBS didn't dream of either of us. I hold to the second one. If one of us has to go, let it be me. The village really can't afford to lose as good a player as Agan. Especially not since I think TGWBS had absolutely no idea who was actually guilty, and merely made an educated (if wrong) guess.

I still think this double lynch plan is a stupid idea. If so many think Fea is the cobbler, don't you know that the cobbler is on our side as far as numbers go? So, if we were to lynch Fea and she was the cobbler and we also lynched Agan and she ended up being innocent, we'd be losing two in our numbers? And while I do think Fea looks to be part of the guilty party, if by some tiny chance we all turn out to be wrong and she's innocent, then we're really screwing ourselves over. I think most people know by now I am and have been against double lynches. They are a risk, and more often than not they go wrong. If Fea turns out to be guilty, then Agan should certainly be examined and tried come toMorrow...but this is no decision we should rush into.

Let me restate my reasons for my Agan vote:
I trust TGWBS would not leave us with ambiguous hints or information. This means that either he did not know any critics / cobblers by his time of death and just thought of Fea and Aganzir as the most suspicious characters, or he happened to peg two sinister characters in two nights. Rereading his posts, I can see why there are many around who are unwilling to risk assuming the second - Wild Guy seems uncertain and especially on Day 1 he acts unconvinced of Fea's guilt. However, if Fea is guilty, I do not think we can risk it to keep Aganzir alive. Of course, Guy may not have dreamt of either, and his categorisation could have been just a reasonable and astute guess. Fea's guilt would not prove Aganzir's guilt, and Fea's innocence would only imply that TGWBS did not dream of any evil persons. In that case only can I see Aganzir survive another day, yet she would still be eligible for lynching in the future (her voting record is not very favourable, either). Perhaps that is enough for most to shrink away from a double-lynch. In my opinion, we have little to lose from it: the ordinary, yet talented singers get to kill two highly suspicious characters, while the critics can only eliminate one potential-gifted or innocent. I can envision scenarios in which the double-lynch would turn against the village. However, I am feeling bold and reckless. |

Cross-posted with Fea's ambiguous retraction and suicidal vote. I'm not going to judge her motives, because we shall find out soon enough. It does not necessarily make me feel better about either girl.

The one thing I don't want to do is solely focus on Aganzir toMorrow. Of course we can suspect her, but we must bring other suspects to the table as well because we know there are other baddies about too.
I would've gladly given a nice analysis of everyone so far, but there's not enough time now, so it'll have to wait until toMorrow if I'm still alive. Though as of now, the one other person I'm worried about other than the two being discussed is Sally. Simply because of her vote yesterDay, which was a completely echoed mine. It wasn't that she voted for the same person, but that her explanation came so close to copying mine...I've never felt so uneasy about someone agreeing with me on something. It just seems she was trying to turn the Gollum vote into a bandwagon.

Well, the first part's right. If I was a bad guy, I'd never ever direct so much attention on one of my cohorts. I mean, imagine if the village took me seriously and killed them? That would be tragic. So no. I'd never take a risk. You know me- careful to the very end. And you should remember that if I'm a Critic, I at least know that Agan isn't (wink wink), and if I'm the Cobbler, I may well have dreamed of Agan (third wink), and if I'm an ordo, then I'm kind of bored being an ordo and am just causing trouble for my own amusement. You know me. What sounds most like something I'd do?
