I will have to leave now and despite the fact that I still have doubts whether he's just a blundering innocent or not, I will vote for

Hoping that articstorm at least will do the same. I just don't want SpM to die because of my hotheaded accusations.

If I do not survive the Night, I think you all know who to go after tomorrow (or am I creating a set-up here?).

Um...yes! I personally don't think Saucepan to be a werewolf. I just went with my stomache (which could be going haywire, since I have a cold) and it told me that I shouldn't trust Arctic, so that's why I voted what I did. I do hope you don't just bandwagon me to save Saucepan.

I did not, Perky. I do distrust you and I know many others do. It would really clear things up to know whether you are innocent or not.

Now I really must leave.

Indeed you will! Have fun protecting yourself at night with me dead


Looks like this is my number. If I die, Good game everyone! Glad to take part in your little experiment

Well, it looks like Perky's going to-Day. Sorry, Perky, you wouldn't have been my first pick for the gallows to-Day, but there we go.

I doubt that I shall die to-Night, what with all the suspicion around me. If I do, it could be an attempt to set up one of those that I have strongly accused to-Day. But I tend to think that I am getting close to the Wolves, particularly as far as Azaelia and Boro are concerned. At least one of those two is a Wolf. I am sure of it.

Edit: Cross-posted with Perky. Well well, it looks like he's the Ranger. Shame he's not the Hunter. Oh well, looks like I shall be busy tomorrow.

Doesn't change my other suspects though.

I'm not stopping you SaucepanMan, you made me almost want to get lynched. You were just too confusing. Tomorrow would be a good time to go into lawyer mode. An eye for an eye

I have been reviewing the voting in light of Perky's claimed (and now probable) innocence.

My top suspects are now:

Azaelia: As noted before, has posted quite frequently and said very little of help. Voted for Gil-Galad yester-Day and me to-Day. Her vote for me to-Day looks to me like an attempt to take out both Eomer and I.

Marcolie Lamen: Voted for arcticstorm (someone whom I now tend to view as innocent) yester-Day and Azaelia to-Day. Her vote to-Day was a perfect opportunity for a Wolf-on-Wolf vote.

Wilwarin: Like Azaelia, has posted quite a bit, but said little. Voted for Perky yester-Day and to-Day. Has made very few other accusations.

Note that none of these have voted the same way on a Day, yet all of their votes look suspicious to me.

Hell, I could be completely wrong. I certainly haven't dismissed the idea of Boro, or indeed a number of others, being a Wolf. That's just the way that I'm thinking at the moment.

Oh crap.

Well I guess I'm going to have to come up with a nice long defence for myself.

I would like to apologize Perky.

Dear Readers of the Wasted Times,

My apolgies for taking so long to getting back to you. The great danger of issuing a press statement is that the time of its release is dependent on the publication's going to press.

First of all, I'd like to thank those who defended me in my absence during the latter half of Day 1 of this terrible tragedy, and thus far in Day 2. I'd like to state that, while I cannot provide conclusive evidence that would not be struck down as hearsay, I was, in fact, doing as Eomer said, and really just striking out to get the pot stirring and to fulfill my civic duty before being called away for an unavoidable emergency.

At that point in Day 1, it was impossible to tell from the scant evidence who the killers were. Without a second crime or third crime to determine a pattern, and without a local law enforcement to gather clues, our only recourse for the gathering of information that would lead to a conviction was to poke and prod people into talking- and possibly revealing more than they ought.

Unfortunately, this did not happen, and I mourn the death of Shelob, my fellow common villager.

However, having managed just now to review the debates of those trying to solve the mystery, I have to wonder just who is guilty.

Boromir, and Eomer are temporarily granted indulgences on my part, in their defence of me, and in that they seem to be more cautious in their voting- while still seeking the truth- which is as it should be.

Saucepan Man, however, seems too pushy in his attempts to seek the guilty. And I do not absolve him of guilt in my own mind, but I will keep him on my personal suspect list.

Azaelia is my true fear at the moment. She says enough to be considered active, but lets the debates flow mostly without her input. Seems werewolfish to me...

I am very suspicious of Perky as well, but for now, I think it best that I vote:

++Azaelia of Willowbottom

It's a shame that you weren't here earlier, Formendacil. We might have spared Perky and caught the she-Wolf Azaelia.

White-Hand

If I die to-Day or to-Night, I shall outline my pick for the three Wolves:

Perky - for the reasons outlined by many previously, most particularly his flaky vote for Gil and his inadequate explanation of it. And for his vote for arcticstorm. It would have been too obvious and too risky to vote for me. It just seems the most sensible Wolf vote at this stage in proceedings.

Azaelia - for posting relatively frequently but saying very little. And for voting for me, on very shaky grounds, and thereby trying to eliminate both me and Eomer from the game.

Marcolie - for her vote for Azaelia - a vote for a fellow Wolf at a stage where it is very unlikely that she will be lynched.

I might well be wrong. But I am convinced that either Boro or Azaelia is a Wolf, and its possible that both are. And I think that Perky may well be a Wolf, although I am by no means certain.

On that basis, given the current state of voting, I have no option but to vote for:

++The Perky Ent

I strongly believe that the village is better off with me alive, unless one of the other options is a gifted. If Perky dies and turns out to be gifted, then I will no doubt have a lot of explaining to do to-Morrow. But to-Morrow is another Day, and I somehow doubt that he's gifted.

Edit: Cross-posted with arcticstorm and Cailin. I might have voted differently had I seen their votes before voting myself. Oh well, what's done is done.
