this post is mainly for lmp...

Boromir is also looking furry to me, because of his safe voting, his tendency to divert attention away from certain things towards where he wants it (post 113 for example).
Frankly, to be honest, I do divert, but Post #113 is not a diversion. That was my post of possibile suspicions coming into the day (as I plan on doing everyday). They are thoughts gathered from the lynching that day, and the people chosen to be killed at night, not to start a diversion.

My only diversion comes when talks of votes coming up. (Which you will have to find where those posts are, I've already given some clues). As you will see these posts come much later when actual voting begins, my intentions you will have to find out for yourself, or maybe it will become clearer in the coming days. Since, I have not gotten into trouble of being lynched, I think it is unfair to say that I steer attention away from myself. To seereally what I try to do is up for your own interpretation.

I tend to agree. But could anyone tell me exactly why dancing spawn seems innocent to them? She seems innocent to me too, but I can't quite put my finger on why that is. Which makes me uneasy ...
I feel much of the same. I say Dancing because she contributes to the cause, and her voting is not all that suspicious.

She could have died it up between CoD nad G-G, so that mostly shows to me that she's not the bear. The bear might try to get a double lynching.

Not a wolf because her vote sealed Mithalwen's fate. She could be a cobbler, but it seems highly unlikely if she's trying to find the wolves. Afterall, the cobbler would want to help the wolves.

This is why I think Gil-galad is the wolf, and not the cobbler. The cobbler doesn't have any idea who the wolves are, and with voting close, I doubt on Day 1 the cobbler would tie things up to try to take pressure of Mithalwen. It so happened that Mithalwen was a wolf, and the only person to know Mithalwen is a wolf, is the other wolves, therefor tieing the votes makes him look more wolfish then cobbleresque.

On the contrary, Her vote sealed Mith's fate, yes, but Saucepan and Firefoot had already voiced their suspicions of Mith and it was known that they were more than likely going to vote for Mith. With that in mind, it would be the perfect tactic for a wolf to cast the vote to seal the fate of a fellow wolf, when it is known that he will die anyway.

Well, I have no objection to you telling me why you seem innocent either ...

I had been thinking along similar lines to arcticstorm with regard to your vote for Mithalwen.

I know that it's risky to defend somebody but I've been thinking about things and I believe that Gurthang is innocent. The reason being is what Mormegil had said and done. I'm thinking that the wolves killed him because they thought him to be the seer. He got a lucky guess with Mithalwen and helped to flush her out. I can see how the wolves thought him to be the seer and he tried to cover his tracks by saying 2 others along with that. One innocent (Firefoot) and one unknown (Articstorm) then when he sees the Mith bandwagon going on tries to say "maybe she's innocent" The wolves probably viewed this as the seer saying "I'm not the seer" and to my mind the final factor for the wolves to think Mormegil the seer is when he proclaimed seemingly randomly that Gurthang is innocent. The wolves probably know he is so therefore this strenghtened their false belief that he was the seer.

Now this, to my mind shows that Gurthang is not a wolf, of course he could be the bear but I don't think so. Now I have been troubled in mind about Dancing Spawn. Similar to what SpM said she just isn't sitting right. I think also Mormegil may have pointed to Articstorm and guessed two of three wolves correct.

Ill try to post again soon. Will depend on the durned trout!

I don't know if you are entirely serious with your accusations (I notice that many are happily climbing the bandwagon, though) but I'm going to defend myself a little.

Now, what did he say there... SpM's suspicion of me is based on his belief that one or two wolves voted for CoD yesterday. When he had decided that, he had just to finger at the voting list of day1 so it would support his view. Simple yet not very accurate (sorry).

About my "late" and "death sealing" vote for Mith: much of the discussion happens while I'm asleep. On that morning I logged on - I mean, trod to the Village Hexagon and saw that many votes had already been cast (hence the title: Good grief!).

Lalaith said: "She [Spawn] never voiced any suspicion of Mith before she voted for her." Read closer. In my post #67 I said that I think it was weird from Mith to associate lmp with the Seer when he obviously (to me) isn't one. I also agreed with Firefoot that Mith's self defense was quite over-hysterical. Besides, if a bunch of people are already accusing her why should I? I've already seen her reactions and I can think without writing everything down.

I know, I also said that Alca's suspect list was odd (Mith (wolf), lmp (ooh, are we fellow wolves!?), Gurthang). I just thought that it wasn't wise to ignore all others who hadn't acted so gross. After that I went back and reread everything. Then I decided to vote for Mith for reasons I said in my post #72.

Now that Lalaith has managed to shift some blame on me, she suggests that lmp & I are the wolves. Now, of course I can't suspect anyone because you think that I'm trying to avoid the spotlight by blaming others. Can I make a case against my "co-wolf" lmp, then? I'd like to point out that I suspected lmp to be a wolf already in my post #120. Another thing I just noticed is that Mith slightly defended him in her post #21 when she probably thought that I was accusing lmp. Could this mean that he's a wolf, too? I don't know. I rest my case.

edit: some cross posting but never mind

I was hoping not to have to reveal this today, yet with two people seriously considering me to be a wolf, at least one of whom may be able to convince people to join his cause. I must now reveal myself to be the other sherriff.

Okay, thank you. I was beginning to want you to reveal yourself just because the bandwaggoning seems to be gathering against Spawn and me (including Spawn!) Maybe that's being emotional instead of clearheaded, but I was beginning to desperately want a known innocent around.

And if any werewolf decides to say "No, he's not the shirriff, I am!", then you're welcome to try it. I for one will side with arcticstorm and lynch you. So go ahead and make my day.

Well. My Day's initial slate of most suspicious has pretty much been wiped clean. Back to the drawing board.

Oh, and Arcticstorm, please accept my apology for forcing your hand. It was really too early for you to come forward, as there are too many werecreatures still alive. I'm sorry, fellow Ords, to have been instrumental in blowing what little chance we have of beating the odds.

By the way, it still seems really leaping to think that my vote for Gurthang on Day one makes me wolvish. You are quite right to say that such a thing is way too daring for a werewolf, especially in this particular game fraught with werewolves, werebear and cobbler, for them to have to mess around with that. They don't need to, more's the pity.

Back to the bakery for me, and I will vote very late. You won't be reading anything from me until very late. Off to make more custard pies, should the chance be available to throw them on the morrow.....

And if I die before I'm waked
I wonder what werething his bloodthirst has slaked?
