Curses. With so many strong opinion formers in this village, I never thought it would fall to me to be the first to stick my head above the parapet. But circumstances sadly dictate it. The lady of the manor was last night blessed with issue and I must away to collect my new charge, and will not return until after the lynching. I know I could simply not vote at all. But we village women fought a bitter battle for the vote, and it would be wrong not to use this hard-won democratic right. Well, here goes.
There is little chance of lynching a guilty person today and this weighs heavily on my conscience. To help me in my choice I have split the village into three groups. There are those who have been completely silent: Anguirel, Esgallhugwen. There are those who have been most outspoken: phantom, lmp, Feanor, Eomer. There are those who come somewhere inbetween: Azaelia, Celuien, dancing spawn, Evisse, Firefoot , Hookbill, Kath, Nilp Felagund, Oddwen, Saurreg and myself. Now, I don't think any of this is necessarily significant. Personal circumstances and personality differences come into play here, I know, as much as innocence or guilt. But I tend to agree with phantom's point that a noisy person can be useful to have around for a while, whether they are wolf or human. The silent group should have a chance to speak, so I will pick a name, more or less at random, from the middle group. As I didn't like phantom's volunteer victim plan, I will pick someone who was more inclined to support it: +++KATH. I am sorry, and I hold my nominee no particular grudge, but someone had to be named.
