A badger? Why not a bunny? Or a horse?

Or a penguin, actually?

Where's Boro? I think it'd be good if our known innocent (or assumed known innocent, whatever) could contribute a bit more before he dies...

Sorry Thinlo, Mon-Thur. aren't my good days (I mentioned it the last village). I work from 6 am til 5, and just got back and have been reading through the thread.

With that I will vote for:

++Mithalwen

Evil little trickster.

Sorry Volo, I can't guard myself but maybe I can kill a wolf in the process. I have a decent idea of whom is a wolf, it's a shot. But if I don't have the guts to 'pull the trigger' I might guard someone else in order to try and stop a kill from happening.

I apologize that I couldn't participate more today.

Well, coming all the way out of the world of dreams, I suggest you try the kill. After all a kill per Night is worth more than a save per Night, if there are indeed two Wolf kills, and if not, you will probably be the target. :/

Thinlómien · 06-07-2007, 04:21 PM

I guess I will be pretty much suspecting everyone toMorrow... That is a decision: I have to bring myself to suspect someone at least somewhat seriously.

Anyway, just in case I'm not here to say this toMorrow, please do the same and suspect everyone, (especially morm and Sixth

). Oh, and suspect everybody that slip under your radar too...

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-07-2007, 04:31 PM

OK, we're done here. Step away from the thread.

I am sure that you will all be awaiting the outcome of toDay's vote with eager anticipation. So, without further ado ...

... I'll go away and write it.

Following the confession of the anarcho-syndicalism commune’s temporary executive officer, it did not take long for the delegates to decide who should be put to death this Day. It would have been quicker, but the delegate of INSTRAW demanded that the confession be transcribed, signed and sealed in triplicate by Mithalwen, ratified by a majority resolution of the general assembly and then witnessed by each delegate present. Five hours later, the documentation was finally complete and the dwindling group of delegates turned to confront Mithalwen.

“Your deluding yourselves if you think this is democracy,” said Mithalwen, as fur began to spread over her body. “What gives any of you the right to deal out death in judgement?”

“But Radagast told us this is what we had to do,” answered mormegil.

“Look, you can’t go round killing people, just because some dodgy geriatric image told you to,” replied Mithalwen, sprouting a fine set of whiskers.

“But you confessed,” pointed out Boromir88.

“No I didn’t,” said Mithalwen, her ears lengthening.

“Ooh, you liar, yes you did!” shrieked Nogrod. “She’s a Wolf! Burn her!”

“But my confession is riddled with procedural irregularities,” explained Mithalwen, dropping to all fours. “For a start, my tenure as executive officer expired earlier toDay and so I lacked authority to confess. Ratification will require a two-thirds majority of every man, woman and child in my commune.”

“Um … perhaps we could send some kind of a messenger to obtain it,” suggested Thinlómien.

“Rubbish!” declared Volo. “I may be from as far as it gets, but even I know that she made that confession in her capacity as a Werewolf, not as temporary executive officer of her commune.”

“He’s got a point,” observed mormegil.

“Aye, and so have I,” added Aganzir, hefting her axe.

“OK then,” said Mithalwen defiantly, as cruel red claws extended from her fingers and toes. “You can’t kill me because that would constitute persecution of an ethnic minority. It would be oppression by the majority.”

“You’re not an ethnic minority! You’re an evil, vicious Werewolf, with nasty, big, pointy teeth,” said The Sixth Wizard, bringing his fingers to his mouth to illustate the point.

“That’s as maybe,” replied Mithalwen, corroborating his observation by baring her nasty, big, pointy teeth. “But I’m still in the minority. And anyway, I’m a member of an endangered species.”

“In that case,” said Thinlómien, “perhaps you would care to show us your protected species order.”

“Shan’t” growled Mithalwen, readying to pounce.

“Oh, I’ve had enough of this,” muttered Volo. “Let’s just kill her.”

“Infamy! Infamy” They’ve all got it in fer me,” howled Mithalwen, as she sprang forwards to meet the mob in mortal combat. But they were prepared and set upon her with intent to dismember the honourable member for the anarcho-syndicalism commune.

“Help! Help! I’m being repressed,” cried Mithalwen, moments before her Wolfish head was forcefully liberated from her body.

"Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-pikang-zoop-boing-goodem-zoo-owli-zhiv!" it shrieked, as it flew through the air.

“What an eccentric performance,” observed Boromir88.

“…” agreed Gil-Galad.

That’s Day 4 done. Night 4 beckons for those that have things to do.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-08-2007, 05:15 PM

The delegates awoke on Day 5 to find that there had been only one death overnight. There in the village square lay a great white Wolf with red claws and sky blue eyes, battered, bruised and bloody. She had already drawn her last breath and as the remaining delegates watched, she transformed back into human form.

Aganzir, the dwarf delegate from a Woodsmen village had been a Werewolf!

I was away almost an hour, and only three posts.

Welcome to my world.

Nice job Mith, for revealing just because you were bored. Saves me a lot of reading.

"'E's already got one?"

"Yes, it's vera nice."

"Well can we come up and have a look?"

Nogrod · 06-07-2007, 04:16 PM

My father got to bed at last...

Okay, a few ideas still to share before the Day ends.

I have thought Volo a bit odd all the game. I'm not sure if that is in any way exceptional. But his eagerness to jump on lynching me looks pretty bad indeed. I mean one time he finds me most innocent and then in a minute he's ready to lynch me if there seems to be enough others to share that view. I'd take a really close look on him toMorrow as that looks to me pretty wolvish way to act.

Morm and Sixth have posted relatively little and if someone could be said to be a free-rider here I would look at those two.

Gil is another matter then... but I'm afraid we will need him for numbers.

Lommy and Aganzir I see no problem with them but then should that be the problem?

Boro: if you have a decent idea I say you go for it. If there are a lot of wolves around it might just hit - and in a case of us having more than one wolf around we'd sorely need the additional wolf-kills.
