Werewolf IX: the Saga Owns You and You Know It

[Shelob]

Carrying on with my suspicion from yesterday I think I'm going to vote

++MENELTARMACIL

again.

[Meneltarmacil]

Having stated my reasons for who I think is most guilty, my vote goes to

++Shelob

The tigers are probably getting pretty hungry about now, so I'll be off feeding them.

[The Saucepan Man]

It certainly seems like Menel has a policy of refusing to cast the vote most likely to save his own skin.

Surely, with 6 votes left (including from some who those have accused him to-Day), he would have voted for Glirdan, or even Azaelia or Gil-Galad, if he were a beast.

He is either a beast who likes living on the edge, or completely and thoroughly innocent ...

[The Saucepan Man]

The votes currently stand at:

Glirdan - 3
Gil-Galad - 1
Menel - 2
Azaelia - 2
Shelob - 1

[Durelin]

You're a bit of a contradiction today, Cailín! You spoke of following, and now you vote for Glirdan...interesting.

But Meneltmarcil's recent vote upsets me. I am nowhere near sure of anyone'sinnocence, except the poor souls who have perished, but his vote for Shelob is quite intriguing, and perhaps revealing. With two votes against him, he votes for one person who voted for him. Still, he would have had a better chance by voting for Glirdan like the rest. So, perhaps Saucie is right about him, and my reaction to his vote is baseless.

*sighs* Another almost blind vote... I don't know where we'll be if it's another innocent, which it most likely will be.

What can I say, I'm a pessimist?

I am also a contradiction today, and I take back my comment on Cailín. I suppose it doesn't do much good going against the crowd altogether...one person will still get lynched today.

++AZAELIA OF WILLOWBOTTOM

Saucepan Man's list was helpful. The arguments against her make the most sense to me, and as I said before...what's the point of voting for someone, knowing that there is hardly a chance this will affect anything. The only point to avoiding being counted among the lynchee votes is staying away from blame if they are innocent. I have no reason to do that.

I hope we've got ourselves a wolf, though as always, I'm skeptical as well as pessimistic. At least we'll see if Saucie can be trusted for sure.

[Holbytlass]

I'm not sure of anyone right this second, so I will be the 'suspicious' second vote for
++Azaelia

to keep the wolves on their toes.

[Durelin]

A tie... I almost regret my vote... A double lynching certainly is not in order... I'm glad there are several votes to go.

[The Saucepan Man]

I suspect that Holby cross-posted with you Durelin.

But Folwren, Azaelia, Gil-Galad and Wayne are yet to vote. At least two of those are likely to do so.

So it won't necessarily be a tie.

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

So sorry, I was at school and then had a meeting.

She hardly ever accuses anyone except the person she votes for.
She has voted for two known innocents.
She seems to have been the phantom’s only real suspect. Was he getting too close for comfort?

I know I've looked far too suspicious over the course of the game, and I did indeed vote for two "known innocents"...but the thing of it is, no one knew that Alcarillo and Bergil were innocent at the time. (Except maybe Phantom, but we'll never know that for sure.). I never accused anyone except for who I voted for because I voted for the person I found the most suspicious. If you go back to my post about Alcarillo after TGWBS' death, I did suggest that it was a frame-up plan.

Actually, I had (and have) absoloutely nothing against the Phantom . I know that fingers are pointed at the wrong people all over the place in this game. I was not concerned that he expressed suspicion of me, since everyone else has, too.

If an innocent is lynched today, the were-villager ratio is going to be really unbalanced. I am particularly frustrated because I am innocent, and it seems that the "Kill Zali" bandwagon is picking up steam. If you want the weres to win, by all means, lynch me. I'm not at all gifted or a werewolf/bear...but that is a threat. If I die, the rest of you innocents are facing a rather bleak future as a village. Please. Just consider it.

Of course you did. You wanted to be able to point back to it in case it became an issue, as you have just done. But the very fact that you mentioned it, right there at the beginning of the Day, strengthens my view that you were one of those who conceived it as a plan.

And your attempt to appeal to those yet to vote reeks of a Wolfish ploy to escape the noose.

Why do you not vote now to save yourself? Or is it because your Wolfish pal, Glirdan is also facing the gallows and you are waiting to see whether anyone else is going to vote?

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

OK, fine. You've forced me into a corner where everything I do seems suspicious.

If Glirdan is innocent, let the record stand that I was forced into a corner (by, perhaps, a Saucepanman who is hiding a fanged and furry secret...).

I will vote ++Glirdan

Partially due to intimidation (naming no names, Sauce just kidding, that's what this game is all about), and partially to break a tie, and partially again to save my own innocent butt.

(If I'm lynched, please, someone remember to plant azaeleas on my grave...they're my favorites... )

[Encaitare]

The villagers assembled in the square feeling that they had achieved a victory. No longer would there be two corpses waiting for them each morning. Yet they realized that their number was still dwindling, and they would have to do their very best to catch the Wolves, all three of which were still alive. And indeed, someone was not among them that morning: the Saucepan Man.

His home was near the dark woods, since he often ventured into the thick forest to search for rare mushrooms. Warily eyeing the woods, which were foreboding even in the daylight, the villagers entered his home.

The living room looked completely normal. In fact, everything looked too normal. The villagers decided to poke around a little bit. There were several items from Saucie’s fungus collection scattered about, and a tray of stuffed mushrooms was on the table. A few paring knives were safely in the wooden rack. But upon closer inspection, they saw that the rack was stained with something dark. They pulled out the knives to see that the Wolves had not even bothered to clean their murderous weapons.

“There’s got to be a body around here somewhere,” one villager said. But there was nothing under the table, or behind the couch. Nor was there a body in the other rooms of the small house.

“What about in that big cabinet?” someone asked.

“I don’t think so,” another responded. “That’s where he keeps all his mushrooms. Would a body fit in there?” They pulled open the door just to check. And lo and behold, there was the body of the Saucepan Man, wedged onto a shelf between the jars which held his wares.

Most of the flesh and muscle had been carved from his body so that what remained glistened sickeningly at the villagers. And a sign hung around his neck: “We made you a little snack.”

Slowly, the villagers turned to look in horror at the platter of mushrooms stuffed with a special Sauce.

[Gil-Galad]

hmm... my thoughts on Saucey being too helpful were right, the wolves hit him off probaly because they are afraid of Saucey finding them out, i initally beleived that Saucey was a wolf because he seemed like the too helpful villager... now i must wait for other comments...
