Okay. This waiting is ridiculous if everyone just waits for others to act.

Well this voting was maybe even more ridiculous than the ordinary are... but I think still if I voted earlier it wouldn't make any difference, I guess you wouldn't pick Lommy even if I posted that before, would you, Rikae?

Lommy? I haven't seen a plausible case for Lommy being a wolf yet, to put it simply.

If Legate votes Lommy, it will come down to Rikae to decide, now.

(unless Xyzzy appears out of nowhere)

i don't like this... we are too spread out in our suspicions... but if IGWBS indeed proves to be a wolf, then we will have to analyze using WW-Math

Meneltarmacil is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
The sun rose beyond the mountain range, spilling its light over the peaks. Another day had dawned.

The villagers gathered in the center of town. It was a warm, beautiful day without a cloud in the sky, and they were intent on enjoying themselves. Something was missing, however.

"Where's Brinniel?" asked Nogrod the Miller. "I've got parts for my mill that should have been fixed overnight!"

Indeed, the blacksmith had not arrived with the others.

"She must still be working," said Rikae. "Poor girl has always been diligent, even if she's not very graceful. Come on; let's see what she's up to."

Inside the blacksmith's shop, however, a grim sight met their eyes. The body of Brinniel lay on the ground, crushed under her anvil. Paw prints were everywhere, and the shop looked like a hurricane had gone through it.

"Oh my..." Mithalwen stammered.

"It appears the wolves have claimed another victim," Macalaure commented dourly.

The guy who be short sat alone in his bakery, humming to himself as he baked some bread.

Just then, the other villagers barged in angrily.

"What is the meaning of this?" the baker demanded.

"You're going to the gallows for what you've done!" the miller shouted. "Don't bother denying it!"

"Was last night's pie really that bad?" TGWBS asked innocently.

The villagers carried him up to the gallows and put the noose around his neck. The baker's last words were:

"Gasp... I... hate... you... villagers... wish... the wolves... killed you...gaaaaack." No transformation occurred.

"Oops. Guess we were wrong," Mithalwen stammered. "But why were his last words so hostile?"

After searching the bakery, the villagers found the answer. Several nasty letters about the villagers had been hidden away, and moreover, there was a fresh peach cobbler sitting out on the counter.

Day 2 is over. Night 3 will not start until the usual time on Monday due to Easter. You can, however PM me names of targets and such over the weekend in between.

Legate, you know Sixth is a newbie. Quite natural for a newbie to follow the footsteps of a more experienced player, I'd say.
Legate needs to be looked at more closely. I may be dead tomorrow, so I thought I'd point that out.

As for today, I'll go with:

++The Guy Who Be Short

who I've suspected from the beginning, as I've said; there seems to be no better lead (though Roa makes a good point about Gil).
