Werewolf XLII, Mist in the Barrow Downs

[Macalaure]

Macalaure lazily woke up and gazed through the room with narrowed eyes. What is this? The day is indeed already several hours old. I expected the general turmoil to wake me. How come there is so little talking? he thought. Defying the heavy burden of a bad conscience, he lifted himself up.

"Strangely, everybody seems reluctant to discuss the useless things and remains quiet because there is yet nothing useful to be said. While it is doubtlessly honorable to focus on what's important, it's not actually helping us today. As contradicting as it may appear, we need to discuss futile topics in order to be productive and make at least an educated guess when twilight comes.

"not the quiet/loud discussion... not the helpful/substantial discussion... not the overall strategy discussion... not the special roles speculation..."

Shall we lynch the helpful or the substantial?? Now if that wasn't a slip, dear Nogrod, if that wasn't a slip.

Anyway, let's try it in a slightly different way. What about this:

Shall we lynch a weird-looking member of our group, or a conventional-looking? I say we go for the latter. My lorebook tells me that in dire situations like ours, the strange have been lynched early on more often than they deserve, and with very poor results usually. Let us go for one who flies under the radar, one who doesn't say anything controversial, one who seems eager to not rub people the wrong way. Sure, those people are difficult to catch since it requires a sharp eye to discern them from someone who says nothing because s/he just has nothing to say. But come on! Let us give effort and lynch one who is most eager not to be pinned down!

And if we can't find one, we can still abide by the first law of werewolf-disposal:"
