You're right. That is a horrible twist. It was cute though.

My thoughts so far, and remember that my thoughts as well as anyone else's are entirely unreliable until at least late DAY 2:

Nilp: wants to die. So what's new? I don't think he's guilty, but there's always the chance that he's using our preconceived ideas about him against us. That would be the smart thing. If he's a wolf, what better to do than act normally?

Kath: the Ranger.

Wilwa: innocent. She's but an inexperienced lass and her posts reflect it (in a good way, of course). I presume [maybe wrongly] that we would see some muddled subtlety if she was trying to hide anything.

Everyone else: There are too doggone many of you to keep tabs on! When I have more free time (meaning tomorrow morning) I'll figure everything out and post for the benefit of all (except the wolves).

And of course, I must lie to keep up appearances: Eomer of the Rohirrim has three eyes.

Lies. Except the 'wants to die' part. I am guilty. I am not using preconceived ideas against you, because I seriously want to get lynched. And I'm not acting normally. Not since the day Spike swallowed a bit of that prize-winning black lamb's thigh bone. A sad thing, to choke.

I can only tell the truth or bluff, or, rarely, double-bluff. Triple-bluffs and higher are the faults of your overactive brains.

Yikes!

This wasn't in the brochure!

What a vacation.

What a vacation spot.

Though that weird Nilp character almost seems like a Cobbler's Cobbler - wanting to draw attention away from the cobbler. Could be part of a Wolfish plan.

Well, I'll have to say more in the morning - all that traveling has me beat. I'll be in the room let to me by D-Spawn if anyone needs me...or wants to find my body.

I follow the laws of my long-fathers before me. For example, I don't slaughter pigs. It also means I don't mess with astrology or augery (I don't examine
the livers of the animals I kill.) and it also means I'm not a werewolf. Yes I know about the cursed villager but then I wouldn't have a choice in the matter.

I'll comment on my suspicions and the voting in the morning.

Or maybe he is the cobbler cobbler. Since the cobbler supposedly 'hates his job' so much so that he wants to die, maybe Nilp is playing that role to a 'T'?

Personally I find it more likely he's just being himself, but like Fea said, a wolven Nilp could get a long ways by blaming his suspicions on his normal behavior.

Gah, my brain is turned to oatmeal. Speaking of which, I think I'll have some oatmeal, some peaches & ice cream, & a smoke & then get to bed & hopefully wake up in the morning with a bit clearer head.

Lhunardawen has been trapped in the Barrow!
Silmaril Full moon?

*lets out a loud howling sound* What a horrifying death Firefoot has suffered! Who could have done this to her?

*throws huge rocks at random directions*

I haven't even posted yet, and already people are throwing suspicious looks at me. Is it my fault my behavior is greatly influenced by the moon? *cries like a baby*

Just for the sake of humoring you, lmp, I was 'born' on March 17, now two years and five months. *pouts* See if you can incriminate me any further. Let's see who will have the last laugh.

*laughs like a Lhunatic*

And thank you, Fea. Indeed Nilp and I were fast asleep when the game started. Unless my brother was licking his chops and looking for more. *looks suspiciously around*

So, since this game is based on and all of you are in such weird time zones, I cannot vote toDay. Of course I will not waste my vote on random choices. I need something to base my vote on, and for now there is none. But who knows what the rest of the Day, as well as the Night, will bring?

I just want to say that I'm watching all of you.

*howls*

Little statistics

Here's some obvious nonsence I scraped up. I don't know how eloquent wolves we are dealing with but these accusations are quite clear. I'd think that the wolves might be more subtle but you can't ever know when everybody's double-bluffing or triple-bluffing.

Elf-warrior defended mormegil.
Wilwa defended him, too but the next thing she said that mormegil's suspiciously eager to kill.

Mormegil and Kath defended Fea. Mormegil suspected Saurreg.
TGWBS is suspicious of everybody.

Lmp made a starmap or something of Lhuna and named her "one of our primary suspects". Since lmp himself doesn't believe the prophecies he makes, we can just ignore him. (Note that Lhuna hadn't even posted yet when lmp revealed his thoughts about her.)

Lhuna has spent too much time with his brother. I mean what's this howling and moodiness all about? I have noticed that it's not very popular way to defend yourself anymore by making heartbreaking pleadings. It's just easier to say that I'm a werewolf, what are you waiting for?

Nilp, that poor lad, is just obviously mentally retarded and therefore he shouldn't be allowed to vote. I say we send him to a nice sanatorium until he's less self-mutilative. That reminded me of the fact that the cobbler doesn't have to act suicidal so early on because no-one knows who the slavering fur coats are.

I say we kill Saurreg 'cause I don't understand half of what he says (never been very good with dialects).

Ah but you misunderstand, dancing spawn. Elf warrior seemed to be talking out of character, so I jumped out of character myself. Back in again. Hmmm.... Dancing Spawn tries to get you all to ignore me. She knows that good science has behind it good brains and deductive merit. If she's trying to discredit me, who am innocent, I must wonder why. ::looks suspiciously at dancing spawn of ungoliant::

My star charts are at least as reliable as all your random guesswork. I know all your "birth dates", although time zone may confabulate a few of them. At any rate, I have them right within a few hours. So I don't need you to tell me your birthdates. I need how old you are now. And if you refuse to tell me, I'll sneak a peek at your profile; and if that fails, I'll just assume you're a teenybopper and figure you're 18. So there.

Note that the Moon is now in the Ram. So if Lhuna turned into a Ram instead of a Fish, why then she might still be a werewolf. Otherewise, my suspicions of her were the fault of an inexact science. I shall do further research, namely attempting to discover which of you is ruled my the planet of the irregular orbit.

And fine, it's full and not waning gibbous. Our current moddessgoddess is precisely that. And dead. We must avenge her.

Ack! We've a bunch of teens in our midst as it is! Where are all your pas and mas? Ah well. Who needs werewolves when we've our fair share of irresponsible teens? I shall return with much research.
