Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXII: Hic Monstrae Trucidant

[The Saucepan Man]

Grrrr! I hate being lynched.

An unfortunate combination of SpM (deliberately) acting suspiciously, Caran (deliberately) acting suspiciously, Caran turning out to be the Hunter, retractable votes and me not being here at the crucial stage.

Oh, and Elempi's misguided desire for vengeance ...

Note to self 1: Never suspect Caran again solely for flip-floppiness.

Still, if it had not been me, following Caran's declaration, it would probably have been morm. And, since he and I were both non-Gifted innocents, it would have made little difference to the village.

And you were probably better off without me. Had Noggins not informed me of his Wolfishness following his departure, I would never have guessed. And, even as a silent observer, there were others that I suspected far more than the true Wolves going into the last day. I should have known something was up when Lhuna was being so sane. And a very impressive debut there, Tom.

Note to self 2: It's always the ones as feel most fair as is most foul. I should know this by now.

Well done villagers, though. I was tempted to root for the Wolves, being as how you so swiftly turned on a poor innocent such as I. But then I remembered the need to bolster my win to loss ratio following Elempi's game. It was really Lommy wot one it, so particular congratulations to you, m'dear.

Note to self 3: Try never to accuse someone of not contributing, when they are actually quietly achieving the most.

Sorry, Lommy.

Kudos also to the Wolves, who might well have got away with it had Lommy not made such great dream choices. I was surprised that you were able to pull off the innocent act so well, Noggins. I had somehow got it into my head that, because you come across as so genuine when you are innocent, you would come across less so when guilty. I was wrong. I liked the way that you avoided getting caught in my lynching, while deftly avoiding suspicion for doing so at the same time.

It's a shame I couldn't have been involved for longer, but that unfortunate combination of circumstances done for me. It was good while it lasted, though. I rather enjoyed taking a more aggressive tack, despite being wholly misguided throughout ...

And, of course, a big well done for Kath for such great modding. I was genuinely contrite when you told me off for my anagram shenanigans. Wonderful death scenes, though (although I was rather annoyed that Nilp crashed my death scene ).

Oh, and my favourite animal is not a Duck-Billed Platypus. I gave Kath a serious option and two silly ones. She went for one of the silly ones ...

What was the surpise for tgwbs, by the way?
