Answering this before I have a chance to read all that was said

Let's suppose that (as I'm fairly sure) Macalure is a cobbler

Tonight odds are the wolf gets an ordo so we are left with

Wolf
Cobbler
Two ordos

Tomorrow if we kill anyone but the wolf, the game is over since:
If we kill an ordo there's only one ordo and two baddies left
If we kill the cobbler, the wolf kills an ordo at night, thus we are left with wolf and ordo the following day.

Therefore I find your vote rather suspicious... killing Macalure does NOT give us another day.

This is a wasted kill, but right now I've got no-one better to propose so I'll go read and pray that you guys are still around if there's a better person for lynching

[Farael]

Well, I think that we are wrong by lynching Macalure say what you want of a cobbler protecting his wolf, I can assure you that's not the case.

To me, Macalure is one of the two cobblers and lynching him plays right into the wolf's hand

I have not had time to do enough "reading" so I will vote for the only other person with a vote, in hopes that at least one of you two will change your vote.

++Holbytlass

At least she's a mildly suspicious incognito, therefore there is a better chance she'll actually be the wolf.

killing me gives us nothing

-- Macalaure

[Durelin]

It was a jovial English country dance, the dancers weaving in and out delicately but purposefully, switching partners dutifully if only to get a closer look at their teeth: specifically their canines. Everyone knew it should be a funeral dirge, and had no doubt that the final march would come soon. The end would come, and either the dead could be buried by those very lucky, very few left alive, or all but one would serve as trophies in a victory, two gladly sacrificed and so dusted more regularly.

One sat the dance out. The others glanced at her rarely, and either with sympathy or with annoyance, as her sobs nearly overcame the music.

“My poor Eomer, my…”

Nogrod made sure sharp objects were kept away from her, and everyone simply assumed it was because he was that fatherly type.

Suddenly, an argument broke out. Apparently someone was stepping on some toes, though there were only four guests actually dancing.

“You Cobbler, Farael,” the Mime exploded before he could stop himself.

“Aha!” the Orc cried, “So you’re not really a mime, are you? Cobbler!”

“Now, now, boys,” Nogrod parented, but did not leave Cailín’s side. She wailed once more dejectedly.

“Don’t get into this, old man,” Farael snapped, “We’re going to do this my way, because we haven’t been doing it my way so far, and so far we’ve been losing, so we’re going to do it my way.”

“Uh…no,” Nogrod responded lamely, but his eyes lit up as if a revelation hit him. The gleam was short lived, and no one seemed to notice.

“You fool, Farael! We don’t do it your way, we do it the right way,” Macalaure mimed frantically.

Holbytlass was not impressed by his logic. “Can’t we finally get rid of this mime?”

“What about getting rid of the jester?” Macalaure questioned. “She’s just as useless.”

Nogrod heartily agreed with them both, and naturally, with Cailín.

“Yes, your charade is up, Wolf, Cobbler, or whatever you are,” the harmless, grieving Robin said, “The evil ones will pay for what they did to my Eomer!”

It seemed a miracle. Farael settled his differences with Macalaure and agreed with him that Holbytlass should die.

“She’s been stealing your spotlight, man,” the Orc told the mime friendlily, putting an arm across his shoulders.

Nogrod’s fatherly instincts, which he did not extend to Macalaure, seemed to cause him to console Holbytlass, or simply keep her from attacking Farael and Macalaure in anger.

“It’s okay, my dead…I mean, dear jester. You have but two against you, and the mime has three.”

Holbytlass felt a little relieved, and let out a sigh.

But then Nogrod spoke again, “Unless of course I change my mind.”

At that moment, Holbytlass and Macalaure took their last breaths.

Farael began punching holes in Macalaure’s throat with his hand punch, and Nogrod plunged his lasting pliers into Holbytlass’s neck.

Cailín rose up with laughter, and her womanly features and diminutive, feathery costume was replaced by thick fur, pointed ears, claws, and sharp teeth, as her laugh transformed into a growl.

“Yes, those villagers have paid for what they did to my Eomer,” she spat.

Then suddenly there was heard a small, sweet voice upon the air…

“Together, together, together everyone
Together, together, come on lets have some fun
Together, were there for each other every time
Together together come on lets do this right”*

Lalwendë wandered back into the ballroom, belting it out with much post-Christmas cheer. But when she came upon Cailín-Wolf and the bloody mess at her feet, her voice died in her throat, and all that emerged was a strangled gasp.

“Oh.”

[Durelin]

“Alright, fellas, let's go!

Oh it's been getting so hard
Livin' with the things you do to me, aha
Oh my dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
Oh, I see Farael at the back
As a matter of fact his eyes are red as the sun
And Cailín in the corner let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

Oh, yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And Celuien at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And Cailín in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

I'm reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you, aha
Now Nogrod in the back
Is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky
And Cailín in the corner is ev'ryone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye

Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic
And the band started leaving, 'cause they all stopped breathing

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA WOOOOOOOO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

Oh Noggie you are my hero... for a moment you had me thinking you an ordo and all

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you....

Celuien's cobbler

And kudos to those of you who gessed it.

Alas, my play last day was not desperation, but rather me in a hurry with a crazy theory, as it'd be expected from me.

[Folwren]

So... baddies won? Dang. I have never been so disappointed in a game's finish. I feel possitively crushed and...defeated.

I have to say, it was fantastically played. All of you evil ones. Sheesh. Farael, I disliked you from the very beginning and now I know why. I really did suspect you. Nogrod, excellent job. You acted so your normal self - and managed to keep the highlight off the bad ones!! You really had me spooked when they brought your whole case against me that second dance or so...

Cailin, great job as a wolf. I only had a glimmer of a doubt after I was dead, and then it was too late. I'd say you were lucky.

Celuien, your cowgirl character was too cute. I didn't think you could possibly be one and when you turned out to be one, I was almost as surprised as I was when I (finally) figured out that four people were lynched that dance that I was gone the whole day of. Oh, heaven that I had been there at least for voting!

Speaking of - what induced you guys to do that??

Good job, everyone. I congratulate the evil ones for their win.

I've been following this since death and all I can say is kudos to the winning baddies! I'm not sure so many have ever survived by the end.

But to that quadruple lynch! Masterfully orchestrated but doomed to end in failure. Still, it'll certainly go down in the record books, even if Durelin was laughing her head off as she read it! Speaking of which, great modding Durelin and CoD.

Don't know about anyone else, but this has seriously renewed my interest in werewolf, bring on the next game!

[Durelin]

Thank you everyone for playing, and making this an awesome game!

I had way too much fun modding this.

I'm really glad everyone had fun (well, I hope everyone did), and I hope to see you guys in another game soon.

Personally, I don't think I would have had nearly as much fun if you guys hadn't pulled the quadruple lynch. That was just amazing.

I think the awesomeness of the villagers and the baddies evens out, personally...even if some of what made you villagers awesome was also part of your downfall.

Oh no! Has that really been lost? And it's my fault!

[Naria]

Can we post here now Durelin? Or do you want us to wait for your narration?

[Durelin]

Oh, sorry! Yes, yes, post away. I'll get the narration up sometime soon (I'll just edit it in)...though possibly not until tomorrow.

Now, start the gloating and a new kind of accusations.

[Cailín]

Nogrod...

I thank you.

At your service milady!

What fun!

And thanks Farael, your help was vital!!!

I was eating my nails as I waited you to do it!

[Farael]

By the way, let's see if my guess was right

Nogrod as Lalwende's cobbler?

Edit: Guess it was Cailin instead.

[Rikae]

Well, that was impressive. I certainly didn't guess it.

Of course, if there had just been more time, Cai might have been caught! What on earth were you villagers thinking with that quadruple lynch?

[Celuien]

Mwhahahahahaha.

Farael, Noggie and Cailin, that was amazing to watch toDance.

Great game, everyone.
