the flaws in Sotty's reasoning, on request

firstly, there are more innocents then wolves so most random votes will be for an innocent. secondly, if you go back and look at my vote, you'll see that I voted one muinate after Gurthand, less time then it takes to think up how to say it and type it (if, like me, you type slowly, and maybe if you don't) even if I somehow managed to checK the thread at the exact time he voted. and we couldn't have planned it ahead, we'd somehow have to know she'd be believable AND have clocks showing the exact same time to the second. I think, looking back, that you just missed these facts and are likely innocent.

++SLEEPY RANGER

I'm sticking with him, I can't quite put my finger on it but he's just TOO careful.

This is true but in my last look though I didn't mention you voting right after Gurthang, I had accepted the cross post possibility. My point was that you had named three people and then voted for a fourth random person who in fact turned out to be innocent. Can you not see how that looks wolfy like? So far you have managed to convince a few villagers of Wayne's guilt and if I didn't suspect you then I would probably be on that wagon myself.

I do believe either you or Hiriel are one of our two remaining wolves, but I'm not convinced you both are. Hiriel in fact is on the top of my list, but your extremely defensive reaction to my observations has made me think that maybe my vote might be better served on you.

I have to leave now so I will vote

++Bergil

I changed my mind from Hiriel after your extremely defensive stance to my reasoning sent up a beacon to me. I hope you are indeed a wolf, if not Hiriel I will be looking your way tomorrow.

Well, it looks as though my inclinations are quite the opposite of some others.

I'm not sure about Bergil and Wayne, but now I definitely think that one or the other of them is a wolf. It's true that Bergil was suspiciously defensive, but so was Wayne in response to Bergil's accusations yesterDAY.

I stand by my theory of earlier toDAY, and I hope that I will be proved right as the game progresses:


++Eonwe


(Current votes:
Bergil-4
Wayne-3
Sleepy-1)

Yikes, sorry about that. Obviously that's ONE vote for Eonwe, not three. My server kept telling me it didn't submit those posts. (That's why I kept thinking I had more time for editing.)

I'm leaving them there so no one thinks I'm trying to tamper with the game by deleting them--if Modkatoj wanted to delete two of them, though, that would be peachy.

Dark-Eye A superstitious death for a superstitious man.

All the votes were in and the villagers were to kill Bergil toDAY. The difficult part was gathering necessary equipment. Sleepy Ranger wandered off in search of his pile of mirrors. WaynetheGoblin, on the other hand, gathered all the town's ladders. Eonwe taught 13 black cats to say 'Macbeth' before loading them into Sotty's gun.

The villagers found Bergil and tied him to a pole. Sotty stood a fair distance away, aiming the cat-loaded gun at Bergil. Sleepy Ranger ran in at just the last minute, smashed the mirrors over Bergil's head and loaded them into the gun with the cats. Wayne propped one ladder to the pole and climbed to the top with the rest of them.

Sotty took the first shot--a mirror-shard-coated-cat flew out screaming "MACBETH!" and hit Bergil in the face. Bergil shrieked without even realizing that one of Wayne's ladders was falling on top of him.

As Sotty continued with the next 12 shots, Wayne continued dropping ladders on top of him. Each of the black cats seemed equally coated with mirror shards and the high pitched 'Macbeth' screams probably broke the mirrors even smaller.

As the 13th cat hit Bergil square on the chest, the entire village heard him inhale one last time. The backup silver bullet Sotty had stored in the gun was unnecessary--Bergil was innocent.

ALIVE:
Wilwarin538, f. that crazy girl who wants to be a butterfly
WaynetheGoblin. Scientist.
Sleepy Ranger. Explorer from out of town who gets stuck in Lower Tadfield.
Sotty. School teacher
Tar-ancalime. Crone.
Eonwe. Friendly undertaker.
Holbytlass, f. tanner.
Hiriel. Connoisseur of pointy objects.
THE Ka. Ophelious Philosopher.

DEAD:
Malkatoj (mod) Eaten by one-winged Balrog or Wolf or Something, Night 1
AbercrombieOfRohan (backup mod) Eaten by one-winged Balrog or Wolf or Something, Night 1
Glirdan (ordinary) Shot with a 24-carat gold bullet on DAY one.
Márcolië Lamen (Shelob/Mytho) Vanished from ever having existed in Lower Tadfield on DAY one.
Gurthang (ordinary) Mauled by werewolves on NIGHT two.
Rune Son of Bjarne (wolf) Blasted to shreds by a Tactical Cheese Nuke, DAY two.
Kitanna (ranger) Killed...eaten? by wolves, NIGHT three.
Bergil (ordinary) shot with 13 mirror-shard-coated black cats that screamed MACBETH while having ladders dropped on his head on DAY three.


IT IS NOW NIGHT. I need a name from the Wolves, Seer and Hunter.
