With all due respect to our esteemed retired tutor and harbourmaster, but a double-lynching is
never anything
but a terrible idea – especially so early on – as all it does is double the chances of lynching innocents, which…guess what?...we did. Sure
Rune and
Gurthang were not being terribly helpful and, yes, I voted for
Gurthang whom I thought was a wolf, and also yes I thought that
Rune had a good chance of being a wolf too…but that’s no reason go a-killing them both at once! Now we knows that neither of them is a wolf, but we’ve gone and handed the wolves a whopping great helping hand in their cause.
After yesterDAY’s antics there’s a couple of folk hereabout as I’d like to keep my eye on. First and foremost among these is master
Formendacil. Interestingly, he himself explains why I’d like to keep my eye on him. When he went and voted for
Gurthang he said:

And yes, I do realise that between his vote on Day 1 and his accusation against me today this may look a little like revenge.

Not revenge so much as payback, m’lad. So far,
Formy’s been getting something of a free pass and the only one as has been pointing a finger at him is now lynched…and a proven innocent, I might add removing any tint of wolfishness from his accusations.
The other is
Lhuna. She’s been able to keep a pretty low profile so far, for all that she’s been about and appearing to be helpful, without ever really lending a hand. Her vote for
Wayne was a nice safe one in that it wouldn’t raise any eyebrows. Then she votes for
Kath – pretty much the same as with
Wayne. A nice vote to make for a wolf: you’re seen to be out there helping things along, but you’re voting for ‘easy’ targets, and what’s more there’s little chance they’ll be killed so there’s going to be no risk of people coming round after saying, “she voted for an innocent!”
And then there’s this:

It's a pity our Ranger had not seen this coming; he/she could have protected him. But his hints were a bit too subtle. I myself had no idea he was the Seer either; I just think some of his words were a bit weird. Thanks Mister mormegil for pointing them out and how they hint his Seership. Funnily, no offense sir but that makes me suspect you just a teeny weeny bit because you could have seen that if you and your fellow wolf (if any) were deciding who to kill last night, and just presented it to us toDay in the guise of helpfulness. But don't worry, it's just a teeny weeny bit, it's nothing to worry about.

Another nice move, if you’re a wolf: casting suspicion on another person without making outright accusations, and using that to cover her real message: “I didn’t know as Jack was the Seer – no sir, I didn’t! I sure can’t be a wolf! No way!”
But, sadly, I won’t be able to spend any time this DAY really watching these folk or others to try and figure things out. Me aunty over in the next village is not well and I have to go to her for a bit. I’ll be a-coming back, though, as I ain’t afeard of no wolves! But as I don’t want to go without having made my mark I’m a-going to cast my vote here and now for
++WAYNETHEGOBLIN
simply because there’s only two ways of seeing him: as a wolf who’s hiding by staying silent, or as an innocent who’s not helping us one little bit by staying silent. Either way, he’s not a great loss to the village if we string up him by the neck! I wish I could stay around and try to figure things out a bit clearer, and I don’t doubt that my vote would be different if I could, but me aunty needs me…
