Oh my! It's so sad about poor Firefoot. She was a nice lass and will be missed by all. It's terrible that anybody would do such a thing to her. We must expend all our efforts in killing these wolves!

Well I can tell you one thing: Werewolves don't like flowers! *shakes basket menacingly*

Poor Firefoot. Dead, and in such a nasty way. I'll never forget that smell as long as I live. But good villagers we must find a way to beat these werewolves before it's us that ends up in a cooking pot! Any ideas floating around?

Yes, actually. I suggest we kill that lying fiend, Feanor. She's only gonna confuse us afterwards anyway!

Or we could take out that shifty Eomer.

Unfortunately, there's no way for everyone to communicate who they are without the wolves knowing too... We do outnumber the wolves by quite a bit (otherwise we'd all be dead already), but...

TGWBS I think it's a little early to be throwing death plans around, especially since one of your choices hasn't even posted yet! You never know, Fea might be more of a help than a hindrance.

But I agree with Durelin. No gifted villager can really hint at their role until at least one wolf is dead. Then the advantage is taken away from the werewolves a little at least.

On the contrary, Kath. Especially if we're talking about the Seer. The Seer's job is to hint, not necessarily at what he/she is but at what he/she has found. If the Seer is so scared to hint that he/she doesn't hint enough than it's very possible that the Seer will do us no good at all. As to the other roles it really wouldn't do much good to hint about anyway, other than 'proving' that you're innocent because you're a gifted villager.

Although I do agree that once at least one wolf is dead the risks are less.

It is best for Gifteds to remain hidden for a while yet. That way, we Norm's (Ord's?) can hide them by numbers. The wolves can kill us, the other innocents kill us, and the damage to Loveland will not be too great.

I think we should kill Kath for doubting my wisdom. If Fea were here, whe sould probably be asking us to lynch her for some reason or other...

Mm sorry Estel I was actually thinking of the Shirriffs but have just realised that they can only reveal themselves after one has died so it was a moot point anyway.

Though going up and lynching someone who's of value against the wolves would be just as bad as letting them get killed by the wolves...oh what a quagmire we're in! I will never be able to say which is less detrimental. I really cannot make any decisions, unless they have to do with killing known werewolves...

It's never too early to "throw death plans". If we just bemoan our fate and the horrible cleaning bill that Firefoot's relatives will get, it leads us nowhere. It's good to see how people react when being under suspicion.

It's getting late here. I don't know if I can come back before I go to bed but if not, see you tomorrow.

I think you are right, Dancing Spawn but I don't know if suggesting lynching specific villagers now is very wise. They could be gifted villagers. But then they might be a wolf.

Death planning...I think I'll stick to dead heading.

I'll thank you not to insinuate that if I were here, I'd be saying you should kill me. It meant that I could not do what I promised Keeper I'd do ("Keep, please let me use your computer. All I'm going to say is "I'm a wolf, you should lynch me.").

Here are some theories to work with:

Fea's a wolf, you should lynch her. This is the most bunked of the theories, but it has high likelihood of catching on. If I'm a wolf, you're not going to know. I play with bluffs, I play with truth, making you think I'm bluffing. I play games with your heads. You're dead lucky I'm innocent. Take that at face value and I can help you.

Fea's the Hunter, you should steer clear until she knows who to suspect. Yet another bunk theory, but hey, why not think it over. If I'm the Hunter, you'll want to hint towards me who you think should die, right? That way I don't get stuck accidentally killing our Seer or something.

Fea's the Seer. If I was the Seer, you'd kill me day one and be beyond in trouble. But I'm not, so no biggie. If I was the Seer, this is what I'd do: tell you I was a wolf. The wolves would assume that no Seer would be stupid enough to get in harm's way and would let me be to mess with the village. The village would think "Well, Crazy Fea's up to her goofs again" and ignore me. After a few nights worth of dreams, I'd declare myself and all of my dreams.

Fea's a Shirriff: Again, untrue. If I was a Shirriff, you wouldn't find out. Since our Moddess Goddess has nixed revealing Shirriffs, I'd be so busy PMing ideas back and forth, your heads would spin.

Fea's the Ranger: *sigh* No. I wouldn't mind the job, but it's not mine. If I was the Ranger, here's what I'd be doing: picking at random the first two nights, since they're sketchy when it comes to wolf kills. After that, I would stick with whoever seems the most outgoing. To be honest, I think I would guard Eomer once or twice. Everyone deserves a chance to wreak havoc, yes?

Fea's the Wannabe Wolf: *snicker* I wish. I may adopt the role just for the fun of it, but probably not. After all, I would like to see my side win.

Since I've not got the time (and since it's day one and nobody knows what's up from down except wolves) to post anything more substantial, I'll just leave you with random theories about what you should do with me. I'd like to live, since I think I'd be more help than hindrance this game (thank you Kath, and even more because I won't be around Wednesday or Thursday ).

Oh, here's a good theory: Kath said I might be a help. That must mean we're Shirriffs together.

My last words: I'll be back either later tonight or tomorrow morning. Try not to kill anyone innocent before then. At that time, I'll have more of an idea on who to latch on to.
