Well, what can I say? If our Mayor hadn't told us explicitly there are no cobblers in this village, my performance yesterDay surely would fit the role. Will anybody believe it wasn't intentional - that I was just honestly mistaken (again)? That Inzil frame theory I came up with yesterDay just looked so convincing to me, I was blinded to the truth. I can only thank the Valar that no more villagers were led astray; the majority voted more wisely and got rid of our first wolf. You did well!
The good thing is, with one wolf down, the danger of two night-kills is gone without ever having become reality. But I'm at a loss to explain what happened last Night. From the Mayor's report, it doesn't look like either the Night Guard or the Ranger had to intervene. Are we to believe the wolves wasted their one kill on our doomed blacksmith, who was going to die anyway? Or was there something more secret going on?
One thing I can say - I'm very confident now that Nilp and McCaber, our two surviving Inzil-voters on Day 2, are innocent. Whether or not there was any wolf in yesterDay's Inzilwagon, I don't think any of the two, as a wolf, would have voted a packmate on Day 2 without need and with a happy witch-hunt against Legate going on to hide in.
My suspicion against Boro is also lessened to some degree - I still find his behaviour before and after Legate's death somewhat worrisome, after the stance he had taken against the probability of a frame, but I'll give him credit for smelling the beast in Inziladulf so early. (Somehow, this has a déja vu feeling - where have I witnessed that before?)
Should I mention that Inzil's Guard vote for me was, in retrospect, probably an attempt to taint me in case he got lynched? He had only two votes at the time, but he must at least have reckoned with the possibility he'd end up on the chopping block. Or did he hope to survive and wanted to keep me around as an involuntary cobbler? But in this case he could simply have made sure the pack killed someone else (and I don't think I would have been a likely target anyway).
Enough monologue for now. I need to be alone for a while and meditate on my errors. That'll take a while, but I'll be back some hours before DL.
