Valier's dead and innocent, eh? Why not me? I could have left cooking instructions and everything...

Being mistaken for the Seer does sound like a good reason for a wolf-kill, and actually would suggest that morm is not really a wolf. I doubt a morm-wolf would vote for somebody that he was trying to lynch last night.

Or would he? He could be trying to double-bluff us.

Regarding his attack on my reasoning, he does seem to have a valid point about me. I did misunderstand his "Valier wants to kill me because I might lynch her" statement.

He follows it up by asking me
Quote:
When I'm killed and it is found that I am innocent what does that mean?
in response to a statement I made about how Valier was likely an innocent if morm was a wolf. One memorable ancestor of mine met his end by saying "X is probaby innocent since Y appears wolfish, but if Y turns out to be innocent upon lynching, X could be a wolf." That was perceived as an attempt to cover his wolfish tracks, and my family has had trouble avoiding the use of such statements, especially on Day 1.

Now morm seems to be asking me to make a similar statement regarding Valier. A smart move for a wolf, goading the innocent into making his family's classic slip-up and going to the gallows for it.

However, the last Night's activities do cast doubt on a morm-wolf scenario, so caution is necessary. Mostly, I just wanted to talk here so as not to be too silent. Talking often is always a good idea.
