*harrumph* I am horribly offended! Me? Screw things up?! Personally I think I'm a waste of a lynch...

Curse you all! I hope the Bear is smart enough to get you, though I doubt he'll get out of this one.

And to think all I've wanted for the past couple days was to get Saucie lynched Oh, and you made it onto my list, too, Boromir. And yes you should be honored...

I think it's a little odd that we lynch only Durelin today considering that we know that she's not the bear. I would have preferred a double lynching today to a mass suicide tomorrow. But now when Durelin already has four votes it's impossible.

++DURELIN

Sorry, girl.

Hehe, good one Boro. I hadn't spotted it.

I believe that SamwiseGamgee is the only Villager who has not posted since Boromir88 uncloaked ( ) himself. It seems to me that it is now most unlikely that Boro is not who he claims to be.

Had Samwise not voted for Durelin so early, we could (following Boro's revelation) have finished the Bear off today. That makes me suspicous of him.

Gamgee or not Gamgee, that is the question ...

The risk there is that if we got it wrong, we would have only four Villagers tomorrow and (if the Bear went for option 2 identified in Plan C) only two on the final Day - one innocent and one Bear - which would, I believe result in a Bear victory.

I too would have preferred to leave as many innocents alive as possible and holding a mass lynching to-Morrow is regrettable. But it is the only way to ensure that the Beorning does not escape to kill again elsewhere.

++ DURELIN

Alas, poor Durelin, she played her role well.

I cannot be certain of the Bear, so I will probably not hunt to-Night. That means that I may die. If I do, then remember, fellow innocents:

If anyone else claims to be the Seer, lynch them. Then, if they were the Seer (highly unlikely, in my view), lynch Boromir88 the following Day.

Otherwise, vote according to Plan C, as set out in my post #416. It is important that each person does not simply vote for him/her-self, since that would allow the Bear to win by waiting until the end of the Day and then not voting. Known innocents should not be included in the vote and should not themselves vote.

The known innocent (Boromir88 if I am dead) should take the lead and set out, well in advance of the time for voting to begin, who is to vote for whom. Each innocent Villager should then make sure that they vote according to the agreed list.

Provided that all innocent Villagers follow the plan, then the only Villager (if any) who does not will be the Bear. Don't let that put you off. Follow the plan through unless you are absolutely sure of the Bear and can save innocent lives.

Adios.

Yes, I did that intentionally, though I did not purposefully use the other typos...but hey having it be "clever" works.

I'm glad you have full faith in me .

Anyway, I can't believe I actually did get up this early...Before 6:30 is unheard of...

I guess to not confuse things I should bold my vote...

++Durelin

Also, another reason for double posting is just a few final thoughts I had promised...

Saucepan- As said, known he was innocent since Night 2.

Dancing Spawn- Though I've never dreamed of her, I'm pretty confident she's innocent. As said, she's suspected me as the Seer for quite some time, and if she was the bear, and had any doubt I was the Seer, I would probably be dead by now.

Gurthang- Not too worried about him, as he did bring up the double-lynching idea.

So that leaves Samwise and Meneltarmacil.

I am most suspicious of Menel right now. It is odd how he suspects me as being the bear, yet doesn't vote for me. As if he was trying to keep me alive...to keep on being suspected? Then above that tries to set me up perhaps? I should have dreamed of him by now, but his old knighteth words, but not too confident now.

I can understand Durelin's votes/suspicions of myself (for kind of what Sauce said...thought I was the bear pretending to be the Seer. It was actually the other way around. I was the Seer pretending to look bearish, knowing the bear wouldn't kill me during the night as long as there wasn't some big public outcry for my lynching. So, I think it was more of a balancing act, trying to look suspicious, but not too suspicious). Anyway, which leads me to why I'm most suspicious of Menel...

I do find it odd he accuses me, then doesn't vote for me. Where Durelin atleast accuses me, then votes for me. It's like he's trying to keep me alive (since I was growing to being the suspected bear), but he didn't want to vote for me because to do so might give him away. So, sounds like he's been trying to set me up, turning you trusty villagers against me, when his hand in the matter doesn't get dirty. Trying to arouse suspicions, but not make himself incriminating enough to where he voted for me, and I would be lynched, obviously my identity would be revealed, and he could be facing some problems at thee gallows the next day.

I hope I didn't get lost in that jumbo back there but anyway...If I'm not alive tomorrow here's who I would vote for first, then so on...
1) Meneltarmacil
2) Samwise
3) Gurthang
4) Dancing Spawn (since she's not a guarantee, but I would vouch for her innocence, and if I'm wrong then I deserve to have all my medical instruments stuffed in me by the bear).

Good luck to ya'll if I don't get to speak to you again.

I have 99% faith in you, let's put it that way. The remaining 1% is residual paranoia.
