Werewolf IX: the Saga Owns You and You Know It

[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 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... )

[Folwren]

This vote makes me sick. Down right sick to my stomach. Do I have to vote? Must I?

No one's here to really answer me.....I don't have time to wait five minutes for Sauce Man to reply.

I can't vote. I want to vote Azaelia, but that'll put two people in the noose at once. And what happens if they're both innocent? ...

But what if both are guilty?

Heaven help me.

++Azaelia of Willowbottom

Consider it thus:

Glirdan can not be saved.

My suspicion added to what Saucepan Man said in his summing up of everything made an equal sign that said guilty as far as we can tell.

[The Saucepan Man]

You know, I'm beginning to think that a double-lynching of Glirdan and Azaelia may not be such a bad thing. That's the way that I would have voted, Folwren.

Although heaven help us tomorrow if we are wrong.

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

Heaven help you all, indeed, when you find out that I am innocent. I'd beg you to reconsider, but votes cannot be retracted. I tried to warn you.

edit: cross-posted with Sauce. Goodbye.

[Encaitare]

Voting is closed. Double lynching will soon be posted.

[Glirdan]

Well, it seems like toDay is my last day amongst all of you. I just have one final request. Someone take care of my cheese shop, as a final favor?

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

Farewell, sweet village. I'm on to a better place.

Please bury me somewhere with lots of pretty flowers, preferably azaeleas.

[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...

[Folwren]

I actually guessed that the Sauceman would be the next dead. The wolves knock off the smart people at night, and vote for the innocent that are being picked on already during the day.

The wolves have crippled us. Crippled us to a point that I have no idea how we're going to make a come back. Saucepan Man was smart and expierenced. Who else here playing is like that? I'm not experienced. On a normal bases, I'd claim to be smart, but I've proved myself a fool again and again this game. Kath may be helpful, but I still slightly suspect her, but not enough to press anything. Shelob is sensible, and I don't think she's guilty of anything. Nilp, thank goodness, is known to be good. He's seemed smart in his commens around the Downs.

Menel, now, is back to the top of my list. For a bit, he knocked me off his trail because of his vote for Azaelia because I thought that she was guilty. But now that she is proven to be innocent, Menel’s vote makes sense if he were a wolf. And last night he voted for Shelob - a name that had not come up in anyone suspicious list (that I remember) ever before. He had never mentioned her. I am almost sure that Shelob is innocent. For him to vote for her brings even more doubt to my mind about him.

We must be very careful. We have two gifted left to us - Nilp, the Sherriff - and the ranger. I have made a guess in my mind who the ranger is, but I won't say for fear that the wolves decide to pick up and make a wild stab in the dark and I be right. We've got to talk today, people. We have to talk. Our choice must be made carefully today lest we kill another innocent.

We have roughly twenty-two hours. Let us use them well.

-- Folwren

[Meneltarmacil]

Folwren, I voted for Azaelia because it was basically between her and Alcarillo at that point. Between the two, Alcarillo seemed the most innocent at the time because killing tgwbs would imply that he was a Wolf, something an actual werebeast would usually avoid, so I voted for Zali on that basis.

I suggest taking a look at some of those who voted for Zali yesterDay.

Holbytlass: As I said before, she was apparently convinced of Glirdan's innocence, and he turns out to be the Bear. She is most likely a misguided innocent, though, as nobody except possibly the phantom would really have known he was the Bear.

Folwren: Tough call, but your vote did cause the innocent to die along with the Bear. I'm not as suspicious of you as I am of others, though.

As for the others, I still suspect Kath and Shelob, Kath for taking lighthearted accusations against me seriously and continuing to stand by it though I have already explained myself at least once, Shelob for jumping on Kath's bandwagon.

[Meneltarmacil]

Another suspect on my list is Gil-Galad. He's been extremely quiet this whole time and voted for Saucepan yesterDay, who turned out to be innocent.
