Just what one would expect from people like them.

"I can't possibly see how you could come to that conclusion," Sally said, angered by the personal attack and under the circumstances tempted to respond in kind. "After all, I'm not the one dating my cousin." Agan shot an dirty look in Sally and Legate's direction but she ignored it. "Perhaps you're eager to place blame on someone else before it is placed on yourself? Or perhaps you're just acting out of jealousy. Wonder why that could be...." Agan huffed loudly and stormed off, while Sally calmed herself by trying to sort out who could have been behind the previous night's events.



EDIT: x'd with phantom and Roa

[the phantom]

In fact, I would say that perceived connections are the worst possible reason to suspect someone.

Unless those flimsy connections are backed up by hard votes. I've seen many a WW nailed for his voting, whether the reasoning was good or not.

Now, posting faulty ideas and misinformation, on the other hand....

Heh heh heh...

Exhibit A....



"Lhuna, my dear cousin, are you sure you know what you're doing? You certainly have picked an odd'un."


"Where are my mother and father? Surely they have not also been attacked? And my sister and brother as well. Perhaps they are with Auntie Cailin, the poor thing."

[THE Ka]

Ka returned holding on closely to the large bumbling (and slobering) Bavo who was the closest thing she had to a true playmate, to find that more villagers had arrived only it seems to argue. Seeing Lalaith made her heart lighten up a bit, since she only had her mama to care for her, and she came over for a hug quickly. Trying to listen again with the banter too fast for a child such as herself, but something caught on:

Sorry to sound simple, but if I remember someone saying correctly that both the GW and EW control the actions of their servants, and can overide any decision, action, hidden message and their natures in the game as well. I understand that it makes sense to keep all of your ducks in a row and use them in good time, but why would someone in such a position be so nervous about whom they relate with, if they are the only ones who can talk with them? The seer is the only possibility of ultimately figuring out the identity of anyone, and obviously would be lucky to bag a werewolf, let alone their leader (or, at least figure out who's their fellow gifted).

Unless they are so afraid their own flock can't be trusted from ratting them out, but what tactless wolf or gifted would do that if they want to survive let alone win?
I guess I can see the logic of summing up your team before you let them get to know you and your motives, but in this game its the only team you have and you can't refund your wizard/witch and expect a new one without loosing your position on power as well (unless you're figuring that if we knock out the EW or enough of their team early enough we can hunt down the wolves using older methods).

Sorry if I'm forgetting any of the rules already stated, I'm just a little curious on what you would guess the EW or GW would do in relation to wolves now, but especially in the next few days.
I really don't have a clue what to look for if we can't rely on old experience hunting or being werewolves so easily.

Though, the best bet is to make sure there are more gifteds than wolves (and if that means just finding any wolves we can, I'm completely fine with that. If we can't catch the EW, we can at least give them a lesser range of influence.). Seriously considering how we're loosing two a night.

That hardly makes them the best method. Nor does it mean that any other methods are useless to us, so you have still posted a seriously flawed theory. And with your experience and skill, I can hardly think it accidental.

Shasta drew himself up calmly from his seat on a nearby bench, moving to stand beside Brinniel, laying a gnarled hand on her shoulder.

"Thank you, my dear, for that," he said with the beginnings of a smile, before turning to Aganzir.

"Wolf or wizard," he began, "if you wish to find those who would plot against you, I should wonder just how innocent, is someone who admits to poisoning people...." He trailed off meaningfully, looking at Durelin out of the corner of an eye. "Or, child, I do wonder about that... ruffian you choose to cavort with-" Seeing McCaber glare at him, he swiftly changed the subject. "But as you are no offspring of mine, I suppose I shan't worry my old bones about it."

Oh, and before I forget. Hope this works....





Okay, off to charge laptop battery (and it's flipping hot out here). Be back in a couple three hours to check posts, so if you haven't said anything yet and you're awake please post for me!

[Lalaith]

Lalaith gazed at the bodies of the dead, with tears in her eyes. Her great, fine, respectable big brother, who had always looked down on his louche young sibling....well now she was looking down on him. Poor man. It was grimly ironic. And the guinea-pig breeder's husband, too....
The villagers were all talking, and Lalaith tried to take in and weigh up as much of it in as she could.
Of most interest was her sister-in-law, the grieving widow Roa, and this strange debate about wolves and wizards she was having with her sister's son phantom.
Lalaith's own inclination was to find and fight the evil in whatever form it took, lesser or greater, but there was merit in considering all approaches.

She called her daughters to her, and placed her arm around each of them, as if to protect them against whatever nameless thing was threatening them. She would ponder, while she worked, and return to the discussion later in the Day.
But one thing was certain. The chocolate she would be making today would be dark and bitter.
