As is well known I do enjoy killing but I found a legal way to do it. Hopefully we get the guilties but I must admit I'll have fun in the process. I say we lynch TGWBS The reason is rather simple and completely fool proof. I had my wife pick a number between 1 and 18 (skipping 11, me) and she choose 16. TGWBS is number 16 therefore I vote we kill him and let his body answer our questions for us.

I know what you're going to say but at least this is a shot in the dark without wolvish influence.

I am familiar with such a strategy Morm but you cannot possibly expect us to assume that choice to be without wolvish influence, because we don't know your secrets. Sorry, but the task is tricky like that.

Anyway, I'm off to dance (seriously) and then sleep. I'll be back in the discussion when I wake up. And please remember, don't point fingers without thinking very carefully.

Speak to you all later.

Without a wolvish influence? You know, after that statement I'm pretty certain that mormegil's wife is the cobbler!

Btw, Fea, you left two options out. You might be a regular villager or the cursed one. At this point they are the one and same role, though.



Zzzz...

Some truth and a bunch of lies.

There's an absolutely fantastic reason for this: I had Keeper standing behind me saying "Get the [expletive deleted] off of my computer." He's none too patient when I swipe control of his stuff. I'm amazed he hasn't come to collect his Prismacolors yet.

I am, of course, a regular villager... as far as I'm aware. But since you're not going to believe me anyhow... I'm a wolf and I think we should kill mormegil because he is also a wolf.

LMP: I'll give you the age that I'll be in less than a month: 18. Let us hope your astrological ways can help us.

Lhuna and Nilp can be forgiven for not posting yet; they are in a way different time zone. When the game started, they were presumably fast asleep.

TGWBS should be killed post haste because he thinks (with a grin) that Eomer or I should be killed on DAY 1. Where is the fun of life without Eomer of the Rohirrim in it? As for killing me... I like life so much.

I'm going to take this and twist it horribly to say that Fea and Eomer are either the Shirrifs or both Wolves because it's just cute.

You're right. That is a horrible twist. It was cute though.

My thoughts so far, and remember that my thoughts as well as anyone else's are entirely unreliable until at least late DAY 2:

Nilp: wants to die. So what's new? I don't think he's guilty, but there's always the chance that he's using our preconceived ideas about him against us. That would be the smart thing. If he's a wolf, what better to do than act normally?

Kath: the Ranger.

Wilwa: innocent. She's but an inexperienced lass and her posts reflect it (in a good way, of course). I presume [maybe wrongly] that we would see some muddled subtlety if she was trying to hide anything.

Everyone else: There are too doggone many of you to keep tabs on! When I have more free time (meaning tomorrow morning) I'll figure everything out and post for the benefit of all (except the wolves).

And of course, I must lie to keep up appearances: Eomer of the Rohirrim has three eyes.

Ah, dear Feanor of the Rohirrim . . .

. . . wait, did I get that right?

Lies. Except the 'wants to die' part. I am guilty. I am not using preconceived ideas against you, because I seriously want to get lynched. And I'm not acting normally. Not since the day Spike swallowed a bit of that prize-winning black lamb's thigh bone. A sad thing, to choke.

I can only tell the truth or bluff, or, rarely, double-bluff. Triple-bluffs and higher are the faults of your overactive brains.

Yikes!

This wasn't in the brochure!

What a vacation.

What a vacation spot.

Though that weird Nilp character almost seems like a Cobbler's Cobbler - wanting to draw attention away from the cobbler. Could be part of a Wolfish plan.

Well, I'll have to say more in the morning - all that traveling has me beat. I'll be in the room let to me by D-Spawn if anyone needs me...or wants to find my body.

Here I am, Lovelanders; I understand you wanted us all to gather and talk about that poor, poor girl. Bet a lot of you didn't believe in werewolves, eh? Let me tell you, they're real, and they're dangerous. Clever, too. They keep their wits about 'em when they're changed, as we can tell from what they did to -- what was her name? Cinderfeet? Oh, Firefoot, of course.

You probably don't trust a gypsy, but I know right from wrong. I'll help you catch these evil creatures. Here, I've got good luck charms. Anyone who wants some is free to take them. I've a feeling we'll need a bit of luck on our side.

Ooooh...

Poor sweet Firefoot. She was a darling, really she was. Aside from dah fact dat this ole' foggy never figured out what she did in this village of o'ers doesn't take away the good impression me haf of her. The dear lassie would always greet me cheerfully every morn when me takes me flock out to pastures and she always had a heart for dah lit' nooborn lambs - toh' she did suffer from what yer call dah Elmyra-komplex - seeh's got a ten'cie to hug 'em, and squeeze 'em and tear 'em to bits. Rest well yer sweet kind und gentle soul. Me will name dee next nooborn after yer...

Right! D'ish villages got ourselves a werewolve prob no? Tisk tisk. Very serious. As of now, we've noobody to point o'er grimmy fingers at yet and drag 'im to dah scaffolds. But may me draw yer all attention to dah sus'pis wulf breedah, Nilp. Hello! Attention please! Dank you!

Now yer all know me haf been looozing me sheep in l'ecent days. Furst it was sweet Mary dat disappeared on dee mea'lows und never returned. Den it was cheeky but adorable Patricia und wot's leif of her was nothing more den bones und skin. Now yer all would moe pro'by think dat dis was dah work of mangy mongrels and 'in perhaps a grey timbah wulf. But wot 'bout me prize winning black sheep, Baa Baa. Yer Gawds!!! Me hart breaks at dah very sound of her name. Sweet Baa Baa! Me took 'er out to dah stream for a nize kool drink, leif her for a nap und wot happened? Seeh disappeared! All dat remained of sweet innocent Baa Baaaaa w'ore 'er intestines spelling out in ra'dah good cursive,

Thanks for lunch. Have a nice day!

Wot cheek! Wot cheek! Me tell yah, it dosen't take a ro'ket se... se... *damn* smartie pants to fi'gah it out dat wolves dinnah write nor spell nor undahstand syntax. Me thinks dat Nilp's got 'is hand in it. Furst dah sheep und seeing how fun und delicious it was, he und his pack most prob when afdah dee lass.

Keep yer eyes on dat wan. He up to no good!

Now Saurreg I have noticed a recent decline in your sheepherd. At first I almost felt sorry for you, but then I thought better of it and got to doing a little bit of analyzing and I thought what better way to supply a pack a wolves food then be a sheepherder. You've probably kept those poor sheep there until you were unable to get other animals to eat and you were forced to eat those things. Now it looks like your turning to human flesh. I think we have a wolf on our hands here.

1420! I would like to make a profound declaration.

This will be short. My wolves are hungry, and they'll be having their usual.

Thanks for the free lunch for 'em, Saurreg. Always appreciated.

OK, where was I? Oh, yes. Profound declaration.

I AM NOT THE COBBLER.

Yes. The cobbler is on the werewolves' team, whereas I am on only one team--the one against myself. I would like to get lynched. That is all. I might get to help the lovely Loveland once or twice, but ultimately, I want to die a gruesome death in your hands.

Am I innocent, you may ask? Of course. But that doesn't change the fact that I, ladies and gents and not-so-gents, would still want to get lynched.

Oh, and Kath's the Ranger, Eomer's ordinary, and guy hasn't called on the abacus yet.

Since I won't be back 'til the next DAY, due to monetary constraints, I shall vote now:

++Nilpaurion Felagundh

Thank you, and good DAY.

This will be great. Nobody thinks that a werewolf will vote for a fellow werewolf on DAY 1.

Hush, Alice.
