The Midsummer Maulings (WW5)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Valid point, Holby. I was just rolling my eyes at the bickering. It reminds me of myself, back in my young and impetuous days. Since we can't kill two people (nor should we), I've got to choose now (since I won't be back before day's end).

I see no reason to vote for Oro, Holby, or Nilp, since I "trust" them. That's not to say it's real trust, since that's not something one should do in these situations, but I don't think we should be worried about them at the moment. We've got bigger fish to fry.

Gil... Kath... TGWBS.

I have to choose one, and I don't really want to, because I don't know who to pick.

So many people seem certain that Kath is the mytho... but what if we're wrong? I'm afraid to chance it, as our seer never confirmed it, and the "proof" is just as likely a series of twisted coincidences.

I've been nervous about TGWBS since Firefoot's call last night. After her subsequent death, my suspicion doubled.

Gil... Holby's point about keeping somebody totally innocent (ie: useless except as a number) is bothering me. A lot.

Since there are three wolves, and these are my only three suspicions... I have a feeling that voting for any one of them is a positive thing. I know that most of you are thinking Kath right now... but I really think that TGWBS is the one we should kill. Just to disprove his "I'm innocent"s like we did with Mormegil. You can't tell me that you weren't ecstatic to prove him wrong. Therefore, with great remorse that it should be so soon, and great remorse should I be wrong...

++TGWBS

I'll see you guys some time tomorrow. TGWBS... many apologies if I'm wrong.

[Orominuialwen]

First, I'd like to apologize for my absence. I tried to get on the computer twice earlier today, but got kicked off after less than 10 minutes each time, and the second time got yelled at for "checking my e-mail every 5 minutes." Anyway, I thought I'd better explain why I wasn't here until now.

Here's what I think of everybody who's left:
Feanor-- Probably innocent. None of our proven innocents have really accused her. For that matter, nobody really has, except for me at the very beginning, but I'm not inclined to go with that any more. She just seems too conspicuous of a personality to be a wolf.

Holbytlass-- Probably innocent too. I'm pretty well convinced that she's our hunter, as most everybody else seems to think. Obviously the wolves have left her alive because they too think she's the hunter and don't want to risk her taking out one of them if they kill her.

tgwbs-- Quite possibly guilty. Until yesterday with mormegil, who was a dead giveway as a wolf and suspected by us all by then, tgwbs had an uncanny knack for leading the charge in lynching innocent villagers. He's either an innocent with really bad gut instincts or a wolf trying to hide out in the open. I'm still not sure which.

Gil 2-- A bit of a mystery. He could go either way, really.

Kath-- Quite possibly guilty as well. I do think that either she or tgwbs is a wolf, but not both. The fact that mormegil suddenly stopped accusing her on Day 2 is very suspicious, but that doesn't necessarily make her a wolf. After all, the Seer never said anything definite about her, but she still does seem like she could be a wolf.

Me-- Definitely innocent. That's about all I can say!

Nilp-- Same sort of situation as with Gil. I'm inclined to say he's innocent just because I have that sort of feeling about him, but I'm not going to trust that completely. He too could go either way.

[Holbytlass]

I probably will sleep through the deadline, so I'm voting now for

++KATH

Because I think she's the mytho-wolf

[Orominuialwen]

Blast! I just realized that I won't be able to make the deadline tomorrow. (I have to go to a funeral tomorrow morning and I have to be there an hour early because I'm singing in the choir, so I will be busy getting ready when the deadline arrives [8 a.m. central time])

Therefore, with much regret, I will have to cast my vote now, sooner than I would like to. I'm worried about doing this, but please forgive me if I'm wrong.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

At first, I scoffed at Gil's explanation of his resuscitation, but after a few thoughts, he would only say that if in fact no role has been passed to him. And perhaps he, unlike me, learns his lesson well.

Now yesterday, I was disappointed at not being able to participate, but I'm glad we got a wolf. I also had an idea yesterday not unlike Firefoot's: the guy might be a werewolf trying to secure innocence with his attack. Notice the way he jumped on morm after Firefoot had already denounced him.

I agree with Oro here: either Kath or the guy is a wolf, but not both. Unless they're pulling the greatest act I have ever seen. But I'm not sure of that.

Hmmm . . . the tough part here is we have equal evidence for the guy's guilt (q.v.) and Kath's morpholupism (hehe, I just made a word up.) Decisions, decisions . . .

++the guy who be short

He's more suspicious to me.

[Kath]

Well you all know my reasons so my vote goes to

++TGWBS

[the guy who be short]

++Kath

We're at the stage where, if you kill me, the entire game is lost. As I am garnering more votes, I will post openly.

The three remaining wolves are: Kath, Nilp, Feanor. I am almost certain of this.

Unfortunately, it means the only innocent to have voted for me thus far is Oro, who cannot return and change her vote.

There is therefore no point in, once again, pointing to my extremely adequate response to Firefoot's questioning, which left her satisfied.

There is no point in pointing out Kath's slip in accusing me of piggybacking off Firefoot yesterday, then killing her so she could accuse me of piggybacking off an innocent.

The wolves' job is then complete.
