In a bit I'm going to have to head off to class and there's no telling when I shall return to post again. Before DAY ends, but when, I do not know.

But I did go through and read everything over again and there is not much to go on. Though there were a few posts that stuck out as I read them again...

Gurthang

In the event of an attack by werewolves, the best way to react to the situation is to kill the person most likely to be a wolf each day, usually by lynching.

Yes, this is a good idea, but it also a bad idea. Bandwagoning is just what werewolves want. If the entire village goes after one person and they all vote for him/her then that person proves innocent it is harder to pick the wolf from the voters. I'd say wait to bandwagon until a day or two has gone by. I think it is very dangerous for us to bandwagon on day one.

Glirdan

I'm going to say right now that I think Eonwe is innocent. Don't ask why, it's a complete gut feeling.

A follow-up to this was Gurthang saying the odds were in Eonwe's favor he was not a wolf, but not to count him out. I have a feeling Glirdan knows something.

Today, especially, we must be strong in the face of uncertainty. I urge everyone to watch, to wait, and above all to refrain from accusing the innocent.

Gurthang responded to this first by saying we need to talk because silence will not help us. Also though it would be ideal to catch all the wolves in the first three days I fear the odds are not in our favor. It is hard not to accuse an innocent (unless you're the seer ) Tar, you should talk much, do not wait until it is too late.

But of course, Gurthang! I said that we should refrain from accusing the innocent. But I also know that whomever I accuse is sure to be guilty, so no worries there.

This made me uneasy and confused. Perhaps it is just the way it was worded, but I felt this statement was a little off.

tar-ancalime

Does Eonwe's demand for explanations strike anyone else as suspicious?

Is she (he?) attempting to prevent villagers from speaking up by requiring a standard of evidence that is impossible to attain, especially on the first day? A good tactic for a wolf--convincing others to be silent with their suspicions, then preying on an uncertain populace with trumped-up "evidence" when the time is ripe.

This is more to say I agree with Eonwe. I think giving reasons for our suscipions is good. But at the same time tar makes a good point about Eonwe trying to get people to back down. The only adivice I can give here is to shout out who you think is innocent and who you think is guilty. Give the best reason you can, regardless of if it is good or not, please do not be silent. It will only cause trouble.

Gurthang

tar-ancalime: you're making me suspicious. Don't be so jumpy, and don't flip-flop so much when someone says you're wrong. And to say you have a chief suspect this early (I would consider the entire first day early) is not really a good idea. Unless, both you and Eonwe are wolves, in which case it would be a wolvish strategy. Unlikely, that is, but I'm going to keep my eye on you tar-ancalime.

I agree with you on tar having a chieg suspect so early. Though for right now I think perhaps the flip-flopping is new day jitters. Though if it continues I will take a closer look at tar. The idea of both Eonwe and Tar has wolves though. Unlikely. Unless these wolves are very confident then I do not think they'd attack one another today.

WE PROBABLY SHOULD TALK ABOUT STRATEGIES TO SOME DEGREE. JUST BASIC ONES AS NOT TO HELP THE WOLVES THOUGH. LIKE THE WHOLE TALKING. ITS HARDER FOR A WOLF TO HIDE AMOUNG SILENTS SINCE WE KNOW NOTHING.
GIFTED SAYING EARLY ON, BE CAREFUL WITH HINTING AND DON'T START TOO EARLY. DON'T HINT YET ON THE FIRST DAY I DON'T THINK.

I'd suggest keep away from hinting until tomorrow. And if you think you have a gifted pegged don't announce it to the village, you may be right and that could spell trouble for us. Also I don't think we're going to get a strategy in today.

Holbytlass
I'm wondering how she made up her list. Holbytlass, what made you decide to stick some people on one list instead of the other?

Hiriel

To the gifteds: I would say hint or don't hint. There is no try. If you feel like you can hint subtly enough without arousing suspecion of the wolves

I agree.

So that is what I have so far. Not a whole to go on, but hopefully it will be something for you all to go on. I will return in a few hours.

EDIT: Thank you DEATH for turning off your caps. It was beginning to bother my eyes.
