The sun began to go down on the first day of the attacks. The villagers seemed to be confused and their votes spread out.

"I say we kill the Mayor of this village, He has been acting strangely!" Shouted Garin.

"I say we kill Me!...No wait Eonwe...No Farael....No Thinlomien...hhhmmmm Hey I say we kill Glirdan! I never noticed him before. Argued Formendabras.

"This is all nonsense!" Stated Mormegil. " I say we kill Thinlomien, I think there's something fishy about her."

The arguing and speculations finally came to an end.
The villagers choose their noble Mayor to be the object of their violence.

"I say we throw him in the river! I hear they hate water!" Said Nogrod.
"But remember we Hobbits hate water just as much!" Shouted Telperaca.

And so the villagers bound Sleepy Ranger's hands behind his back and led him to the rivers edge.

"Any last words? Asked Kitanna.

" I swear it's not me! I just don't want to be thrown in the river! I can not swim, I tell you! I say Farael is the one you are after, not me!" Sleepy let out as he hopped on one foot.

"So long fair mayor, may you be a Werecat!" said Wilwarin538.

And with that they threw him into the deeps of the river.At first he sunk to the bottom, then came bobbing to the surface sputtering and growling? His skin began to change and he began to grow in size."How dare you all! said the giant, drenched feline with the torn ear. "We will have your town...even if you kill me!" With those last words, the once fair seeming mayor screamed his rage as he gulped down mouthfulls of water, until his lungs were full and he screamed no more.

The dawn of the Second day draws upon the village.The occupants wake from their beds and hurry to the town center to meet and discuss what to do.But when they arrive they see someone sprawled on the ground, in an unnatural position.There lay Nogrod the Ale maker.A look of horror was upon his face, but something was missing...His tongue had been torn from his mouth and was nowhere to be found. A note was laided on his chest reading...

You will all pay for what you have done!
We Two are still better than thee!
What have you to say now?
Nothing! Because us Cats got your tongue!
Get out! Get out!
We will have this Puuurrrfect village!
It shall be our own!

Signed: The Two

Wow!! This is a shock. But I may have an idea as to why he was attacked. But before I get to that, let me apologise for not being able to vote. I got all tied up at the Inn (check the notice board for more info) and couldn't get back on time to vote.

Now, on to more pressing matters.

As I said, I think I may have discovered the reasoning behind the attack on Nogrod.

His post #43

Quote:
I don't know about this one... At the TiGJ thread Valier was singing, that if we lack ideas, we should check the narration - and she told us beforehand to try to make some new things time to time...

So please read this note left by the Three, and check the initial letters:

Quote:
We three are better than thee!
We want your town.
It shall be ours.
Get out, get out while you can!
Or we three shall kill thee one by one.
This is the Puuurrrfect village!
We shall have it even if you don't please!
Signed: The Three


So it makes: WW I GO T W S

Thinlomien / Teleparca?
Wilwarin?
Sleepy?

I just couldn't believe, it would be this simple, but I guess this is worth noticing. Not the least because of concerns about Lommy (by Morm) and some mine about Sleepy (underlining his random-voting early on - although this not the first time he does that).
If you note, Sleepy posted right after responding to this. He was later proven a Wolf. What does that tell us? The note had all three of the Wolves initials in there? Or was there just one? Or was it complete luck that we got Sleepy as Wolf? I definetly suggest looking into the other three mention above (Wilwa, Lommy and Tele)

I'm now going to go back and take a look at the death post as well as look over all of Nogrod's, Sleepy's and the other three mentioned above posts.

Also I will make it clear here. I was bluffing about the hints! I just wanted to make the first day more interesting, so don't take anything I write as a blatant hint. So sorry! I have assigned myself to Mordor for that!

Garin has just left Hobbiton.

It wasn't a mere coincidence that Sleepy Ranger turned out to be werecat. I was generally suspicious of him because of his behavior. Of course, I was't 100% certain and didn't want to initiate a bandwagon for an innocent but stuck to my vote. I'm rather proud but surprised he didn't put up more of a fight. Time-zones, I guess.

I'm pretty sure Sleepy was already doomed when Wilwarin made a last minute vote for him, I'll need to double-check. This could be a feline manuever.

We might want to try out poor Nogrod's list today and see what happens. Of course, the day is young and we'll see what happens.

Post #31 - A checking in post and just noting everything that was going on.

Post #37 - Does a "synopsis" that is "not an accurate order of things happening, but more like trying to bind things together". Does a quick vote count. Notes that Farael and Eonwe seem to be the most controversial villagers and doesn't see either as overly suspicious. Is worried about us lynching the outspoken villagers.

Post #38 - Double post. Gives opinion that Farael and Enowe are innocent and suggests we widen the scope of voting.

Post #43 - I've already given more information on this exact post above.

Post #49 - Quotes Roa and agrees with her(him?). Finds Sleepy's interpretations over read. Responds to Roa once again.

Post #51 - Quotes and responds to Sleepy.

Post #53 - Quotes voting posts of Farael, Alcarillo, Form, Lommy, Teleperca and Sleepy.

Post #74 - Updates voting list. Appreciates the trust Sleepy has of him yet doesn't return it. Concerned about Sleepy's speculations of Gifteds. Notes Sleepy's differrent posting pattern.

Post #76 - Finds Sleepy's explanations reasonable. Doesn't like random voting and gives reasons why it would suit the Wolves.

Post # 79 - Updates votes.

Post #88 - Says he can't see the "one-posters" as suspicious yet and gives who they are (Kath, Kitanna, Wilwa, Alca, Teleperca and myelf).

Post #89 - Double post. Gives his suspicion list.

Post #94 - Votes Sleepy and give updated voting list.

My thoughts - Just Valier's post about not to take what she said on the notice board (the original thread) seriously. But I'm not sure if we should do that. Look what happened yesterDay? Nogrod got it right about Sleepy. What if he was right abou Wilwa and Lommy/Teleperca? It is possible that it was complete luck, but I think we need to test that to make sure. I know I said I'd do an analysis of other things and I will when I return.
