Most sorry at your passing, Firefoot. I think the werewolf has given up, or she might have attempted Lalaith. That which is below I wrote before hand:

**************************************************

The bulk of this post is being written during the Night phase.

We have three known innocents left "toDay". Who they are depends upon how things went down last Night:
tar went after either Lal or Firefoot. If Firefoot is dead, may she rest in peace knowing that the innocents have won. As Eonwe said, all you have to do is lynch either tar or me toDay; if this horror is not yet over, it means you will have lynched another innocent (me), and tar will take out another innocent tomorrow; just for kicks, let's say Anguirel. That leaves Lal & Eonwe as our innocents, and tar as our werewolf, and the two known innocents finally lynch the werewolf, terror eliminated. Take your pick, because it really doesn't matter.

The other possibility is that tar took a huge risk and banked on Lal being more suspicious of me than of her, and killed Lal last Night. If that's the case, we have three known innocents left, and the results are the same as in the above scenario, innocents have won, terror eliminated.

I'll tell you right now the same thing that tar is probably saying:

I'm an ordinary innocent.

Early on I offered a plan that got the discussion going. I made moves that would be too bold for a werewolf to make. I said things and did things that have all the earmarks of an innocent who doesn't have to watch his words really carefully because he has nothing to hide. On Day two, I pointed out tar's suspiciousness for all to see, and Firefoot caught on. So did Wilwa. But tar is canny enough and I'm trusting (or something) enough that she was able to pull the wool back over my eyes. 20/20 hindsight, I wish Wilwa had dreamed of her instead of Eonwe. Ah well.

I don't envy you guys your task of choosing between us toDay. You are quite right in thinking that either of us would probably play a very cunning werewolf. Just one problem. I'm a mercurial individual, as Anguirel & Lal can no doubt attest from these last few Days. I'm not the kind who can consistently pull off a lie that long, especially posting a lot. The best I can do, which I would have done (and did once in another 'life'), was tell the truth as much as I could, and say as little by way of fib as possible. That's how I would have been a werewolf. That's not what you saw from me over these last few Days. You saw someone who came out and said what was on his mind often, and was often wrong, even a little inconsistent at times, but always doing his best to aid the cause.

tar made an audacious move by initiating the move against her fellow werewolf Kitanna, by which she excused herself in my eyes. Very cunning. I can imagine that Kitanna informed her during the previous Night that her schedule was looking pretty busy and that she was sorry that she needed to really take a back seat and even vote against herself. tar decided to use that to her advantage and make herself look innocent. Just one problem: she voted to lynch the Hunter yesterDay. It may be that she did that before Lal revealed, though; if Lal had not, I would have voted for her lynching yesterDay too. Ah well. So you guys are still in a pickle. Nevertheless, notice that, as I pointed out in my "notes on tar" post, that tar tried to play Lal, Glirdan, and me off against each other, setting up that I would have to be guilty if Glirdan was innocent; however, her scheme backfired when I decided from all Glirdan's posts up until that Day that he had been too consistently against Lal to be a werewolf .... until he became suspicious in terms of the bait and switch. Circles and circles! Argh! Anyway, all this mental turmoil still comes down to the village wins toDay or toMorrow - - take your pick.

So if you want this village to survive with more than just two innocent villagers left, put your vote to

++ tar-ancalime

toDay, like I just did.

I shall come out from my undertaking duties periodically toDay to answer any questions you have to put to me. Otherwise, you can expect silence from me. May you do the right thing.
