I feel the need to analize at least a few villagers as I see that our time for decisions is approaching the half-way mark.

Fordim seems to be sitting in a nice spot. He has referred before to a sort of 'system' that he had figured out before--only he never got the chance to explain it. It could be that he is now implementing it to really help us, or it could be that, being a werewolf, he sees this as a convienent time to bring out his system. Surely no one that would go to such great lengths to help us could in fact be scheming behind the scenes, right? Um...right? One can't help but be a bit suspicious, but I'm not ready to lynch him on the what might turn out to be extremely faulty grounds (when has seeking to help those around us ever been grounds for lynching?).

Whether we end up implementing Fordim's plan or not seems to remain to be seen. I'm caught in the middle of it myself (as I've said before). If it is to be a gauge for us to discern werewolves who are reluctant to set it up, we should be at least casting a glance or two in the direct of the guy who be short. He has been rather adament about not liking the changes, so that could be looked upon as suspicious. At the same time I realize that he could have perfectly impeccable motives for not liking the new plan--as I said I myself have reservations but neither do I suspect myself.

As to Mormegil, I think we can be fairly certain that we know absolutely nothing about his innocence or guiltiness. One cannot proclaim him guilty simply because of his profession (one could argue that because my business has fallen on hard times that makes me a desperate man [or wolf], so our choices of employment cannot realy be used against us).

What it comes down to is first roundishness, pure & simple. Very few facts, and so very few accusations. None of us want to make a snap accusation or vote, because we will be looked upon darkly if the lynchee (is that a word? now it is...) turns out to be innocent. But if no stones are cast, we cannot hope to stop the fiends. It is a pretty corner that we've been painted into. I personally have only one villager that I am keeping a close eye on, but I hardly have enough evidence to share him/her with the rest of you yet...
