Perhaps it’s the food poisoning reference.

Seriously, though, this is the kind of accusation that irritates me, along with things like “X doesn’t feel quite right” and “Y is coming across as shady”. Vague, unsubstantiated allegations which allow the person making them to cast suspicion without actually specifying a case. The kind of thing a Werewolf might do, in other words.

Eh? You mean the one where you tried to cheat by mis-spelling your votes? Anyway, as you know, I won that fair and square.

I am wary of the mini-bandwaggons that have formed against Durelin and Menel. Both villagers look to be behaving exactly as I would expect them. Admittedly, their normal behaviour can often bring them under early suspicion. But that’s precisely the kind of thing that I would expect a Wolf to use against them on Day 1.

There is one villager who is happily riding one of these badwaggons, while spurring the other on at the same time, and that is the Legate of Amon Lanc. He boldly accuses Durelin without any reasonable justification for doing so, briefs against Menel because his "behaviour doesn't seem all right", and casts vague, unspecified suspicions in my direction too. Would a Wolfish Legate be so bold on Day 1? Quite possibly, in my view. Anyway, in the absence of anything better to go on, and being short of time, he gets my vote toDay.

++ Legate of Amon Lanc
