Don't panic, Bergil. Lot's of people will be accused, and possibly even voted for today, but only one can be lynched. You'll (probably) have time to prove yourself to people somehow - or in attempting to prove yourself, dig a hole and jump in it. (i.e. prove yourself guilty of wolvery rather than prove your innocence.)

Cross posted with Kitanna. Therefore, I'm double posting. Sorry.

My dear chap, he had to vote for someone. Gurthang and Thin happened to be his two suspects. Would you have jumped on him if he had voted Thin? Why protect Gurthang so fervently? And as for 'he still has time to make an appearance', it's my impression that Wayne doesn't have time to get on and vote again, otherwise he wouldn't be voting this soon, and he might wait for Gurthang to make his appearance.

I wonder if it would be worth while to get Gurthang lynched today, if ony to see if this sudden and suspcicious defence of him from Kitanna means anything....Because, I've a feeling, if he's a wolf, Kitanna is, too.

On second thought, I think that'd probably be a bad idea because he hasn't said anything. His reasons are probably just as innocent as mine. It's likely not because he's trying to avoid us and suspcion.

But, Kitanna, really. That attack on Wayne was highly unnecessary.

Yes, infact I would.
I am not accusing Wayne, I like to know why votes are cast as they are. I'm sure you do too.

And excuse me if I think it is a bad idea for the village to vote for someone who hasn't spoken. If they die, then we just start back at square one tomorrow.

Unfortunately, it has come time that I head to the inn for a drink (read: get at least some of the weekend's homework done) and I will be unable to post again tonight.

I have already explained my (fairly random) suspicion of WaynetheGoblin. In the same post, I asked him (clearly, I thought) for an alibi. In not responding with one, he has increased my suspicion. I hereby cast my vote for

++WaynetheGoblin .

I agree completely, we have go on suspecions by what people have posted, not what they haven't.

And Feanor has certanly been the loudest among us. Something I don't think a wolf would want to be, a drawer of attention. My inclination is to think that Feanor's the cobbler here. But it could be a bluff, I dunno.

No one seems to remember that I hadn't posted any suspesions until now, and I seemed to have escaped people's hit lists. Any road, fighting over Gurthang strikes me a bit odd, on both sides. Kit, you certainly have a right to stick up for someone you clearly think is and ordo, and Folwren, certainly has a right to defend Wayne's choice, but it seems very unnessisary all the same. Wayne's made his choice, and if it seems rash or curious to some people, well, that might be a reason to suspect Wayne. As for Gurthang, I'm willing to put off his silence so far as real life interference (had that today myself) and not some nefarious plot to stay under the rader so he can kill one of us tonight. I'll wait until he's posted something.

Nothing is certain here. What we all need to do is consider what people have said and vote on something particular that strikes us as odd or telling. I'll be watching the thread, and post my vote in about an hour or so.

Actually, I had not talked at all for a long time, either, but I, too, missed Wayne's list.

And as for both sides of this argument being totally unnecessary...pretty much any talk or arguing this first day is. No one is really going to be able to get anywhere.

But, I, too, think it's a bad idea to kill a silent person. I wasn't defending Wayne's vote, I was simply stating some thoughts on Kitanna's accusations and questioning of it. I think it was probably less logical for Kitanna to leap on Wayne for voting that way than it was for Wayne to even vote for him. You must understand, dumb as it is to kill a silent one, we others who aren't going to vote for him, don't have much better reasons...

Still no suspicions set in stone. No vote yet.
