Sorry to double-post, but there is something I forgot to ask.

Menel, why did you vote yesterday for SamwiseGamgee without having previously mentioned any strong suspicion of him? Prior to that, your "maine suspecte" appears to have been Boromir88. Why the sudden switch?

Ye main reason that I was suspiciouse of Boromir88 was because he was staying somewhatte sliente, posting juste enoughe to not appeare highly suspiciouse, and I thoughte he was doing so deliberately. My suspiciones lessened when I hearde that he really didn't have a choice aboute it. As for who I thinke ye Beare is, I thinke he/she is probably one of ye ones who voted for Nonnacedak yesterDaye, possibly Gurthang since he started ye bandwagon, or maybe dancing spawn who put Non in ye leade.

Well, two eyes, then.

Boromir, you are playing dangerous game. But I tend to agree with you.

Right now I'm leaning towards Menel's innocence. Perhaps he was just testing people's reactions with his last post.

My top three suspects are (in no particular order) Durelin, Samwise & Gurthang.

Oh blast it, I have to actually think this through, don't I?

You did help both the Village and the bear by getting rid of all the wolves. Boromir seems to work in similar ways, though it is a little too obvious if Boro is the bear, as LMP's death would give him away.

Are you suggesting you're the Seer?

Good question.

I also think that we should take a closer look at Dancing Spawn and Gurthang.

I don't trust anyone right now, and certainly not Saucepan Man. I think he's going to get us all lynched...next thing you know, he'll be proclaiming himself the Cobbler.

The latter. Although I believe that I may now be closing in for the kill ...

Durelin, the only remaining Villager, other than yourself, that you did not throw some suspicion towards in that one post of yours is SamwiseGamgee. Is there any doubt now that you are the Cobbler? I mean, we just have to look at your spectacularly bad (or good, depending upon how we look at it ) voting record with regard to the Wolves.

Menel, you didn't answer my question ...

I really didn'te have a lot of leades to go on at that pointe. I had only a fewe minutes lefte before I had to "leave ye village hexagon" and since I was not that suspiciouse of Boromir88, I figured I'd try to vote for someone who stoode a chance of being lynched rather than looking like a hairy beaste and voting suspiciousely or not at all.

Oh...I forgot about him... Sorry, Samwise.

Now, this is why I wanted to lynch you. Even though I actually still think you might be the bear. Though really I don't care either way. I just want you lynched because you made me lose.

Actually, the wolves lost all by themselves. And there was nothing I could do to stop it. I congratulate you, wolves, for making my life even more miserable! I knew I never should have trusted any canine. And I especially thank Sauciepan Man for his spectacular performance, whether it is sincere innocence or mock. The rest of you are slow on the uptake.

And thus, without further ado...

Who ever told you cats don't wear shoes?!

Shameless EDIT: Saucepan Man is the Hunter, and Boromir88 is the Seer.

Interesting. I see two possibilities.

1. Durelin is the Bear and is lying so that we will not kill her.
2. She is the Cobbler and has given us a known innocent.

We now have a choice. We can lynch Durelin to make sure she is not the bear, but that would throw away the advantage of having a known innocent. Or we try to do the multiple lynch and either flush out the bear or lynch it in the proceedings. I think she is the Cobbler. I was suspicious of her towards the beginning(not necassarily of being the cobbler; I'm not as smart as some people. *cough*SosPan*cough*) and I can see that her voting shows that she avoided voting for wolves. Only, since she voted for herself, we can't get a mass lynching, not toDay at least.

Or there is always option three: you could do none of the above and completely ignore my idea like last time I brought it up.

And if indeed you are the Cobbler, may I congratulate you on a game well played, despite the lack of support from your Wolf buddies ...

OK, here's my plan.

If you had not picked up on my numerous (and probably far too heavy handed) hints already, I am the Hunter. If anyone else claims to be the Hunter, they are the Bear and will have lost by doing so. The Bear already knows that I am the Hunter, I am sure of it, so there is no harm in me revealing this now.

Durelin has owned up to being the Cobbler. Of course, there is still a outside chance that she is the Bear playing a last, desparate card. But she is certainly not an innocent Villager. So I suggest that we lynch her today. Then, to-Morrow, we will have at least one known innocent (myself or the Seer, possibly both). We organise a mass lynching of everyone - excluding that one known innocent. The Bear will either vote for an innocent who already has a vote (in which case he will have revealed himself, one innocent dies and there will be two innocents left on the last Day to vote for him), he will play along (in which case he dies) or he will refuse to vote (in which case he dies).

The only drawback is if I unwittingly kill the Seer tonight. It may therefore be worth the Seer owning up now. Either s/he or I will then die tonight, but we still have our known innocent tomorrow, because the Bear can only kill once per Night.

But, before we go any further (and certainly before the Seer reveals him/her-self), please can everyone think about my plan and let me know if they can see any drawbacks or loopholes. I don't think there are, but we must be sure before implementing it.

It's drastic, I know, but I think that it will at least guarantee that the Beorning cannot wreak havoc in any other Villages.

Edit: Cross-posted with Gurthang, who is thinking along similar lines.
