This leapt out at me from the narration of our gravedigger’s death. Not sure if it means anything, but if there are clues to be found they may be here. Any red-haired men present?
Why the sound of rolling dice? Wasn't the Evil Moddess going to roll dice if the wolves picked different people or if the villages produced a tie? And with just one wolf, there shouldn't be any dice? And why does Spm raise this point but not answer it?

I think I'm missing sumthin.

Ok, apology time, and I'll reiterate it in the other thread later. I didn't post yesterday due to an extremely long and complicated train journey that should have taken 3 hours at most and took close on 6. I hopped on here quickly intending to post, but was then distracted by Children in Need. Meant to come back around halfway through when they start repeating everything but just completely forgot.

I know, I'm being completely useless this game. If I don't turn up tomorrow lynch me, it'll serve me right and might teach me a lesson for future games.

The neg-repper affirmed me it is a joke... in a neg-rep, to be sure.
