Werewolf IX: the Saga Owns You and You Know It

[the phantom]

Surely you would admit that if you were the seer you would've dreamed about me? Am I right, Mr. Saucepan?

No. I don't like being ordered around.

Getting cheeky, eh? Well- go to your room, young man!

I was willing to take a risk to help the village. So sue me.

How nice of you to selflessly put yourself forward for the Ranger's protection.

You missed the point. The "risk" I was taking was making myself a target for the wolves. I knew there was no way for me to guarantee that the ranger would be protecting me, thus it was a bit of a risk.

no one is above suspicion at this stage as far as I am concerned

That sort of goes without saying.

No. I am not scared of you. But I do respect you. If you are innocent, I would like to see you stay around for as long as possible. But, if you are a fiend, then I would rather see you swinging from the gallows sooner rather than later.

Well answered.

I will be watching you with a more wary eye now.

Which is why my eye is on you.

I think it is on me a bit too much, as your eye seems to have missed something.

Read all the posts written by the five people on your primary suspect list. One of them says something that should make you reconsider where you have placed them (too high or too low, I won't say which, and I won't say who either- I'm hoping you will catch it but that the furry fiends won't- if you think you have found what I am talking about then give me a little wink, but don't revise your list because that would be too obvious).

And you didn't explain why you chose not to vote yesterday.

I didn't want to vote for a few reasons.

1) I didn't have any clue who to vote for.

2) I knew it was probable that whoever I voted for would be innocent.

3) I wanted to keep the candidates close together with low voting numbers. The way I saw it, the wolves would be aware that me and others were floating around with unused votes, and so if one of their wolf buddies was remotely close to being in the lead it would encourage them to go ahead and bandwagon on an innocent to avoid me or someone else hopping in and tying up their furry friend for the lead.

4) I didn't want to vote for an innocent because it might lead to me being suspected and then lynched. I have been in and out for most of the summer and thus not able to participate in werewolfing. I do not want to get lynched early in this village. I want to contribute at least a little something before I go.

5) Most Importantly... I did not feel the need to save Bergil. I had no reason to believe that he was innocent above anyone else.

Today I am more likely to vote because I have slight suspicions of both innocence and guilt, and thus I might try to save someone I think innocent or vote for someone I suspect as being guilty. Yesterday I did not have any suspicions.

And also, the thought occured to me- what if I try to save Bergil and then he turned out to be a wolf? It wasn't worth that risk.

Is that answer suitable? I hope so, because it is the truth.

[Glirdan]

I see you are all still suspicous of me, for voting for Bergil yesterday. Let me make my mind clearer to you all. I said I wouldn't vote for those who haven't spoken and I go vote for Bergil. As I said, I didn't have a lot of time to vote because I had no chance after that to come back to the square and I had no evidence against Kitanna (may you rest in peace) to lynch her. And as I also said, if Bergil was the one to get the noose, and he was innocent, I said that I would be terribly sorry for being part of the group that condemned him to that fate. I now wish I could have taken my vote back and gone for someone else. I see now that what I've done has landed me in a pile of mud.

As for my suspicions, Alcarillo is at the head of my list because

1) He was the leader for the lynching of Bergil

2) Today we TGWBS dead and we know how much of a rivlary they had for the position of mayor. I will definetly be keeping an eye on him. I have no other suspicions as of yet.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Alcarillo is on many a suspicious list today. He does look suspicious, but less so than Glirdan and wilwa, in my opinion. He could just be, after all, the perfect target for the wolves to frame.

Yes, I must admit he did flip-flop on his choice of suspects, but he did not put the name of Bergil in the chopping block first. That makes him less suspicious for me.

. . . Unless all the wolves were active, and he thought he could bait one of the villagers to name a quiet person. Then he killed short prince that NIGHT so he can point to a frame-up the next DAY.

The plot sickens . . .
