That's if it's an Organic one - it practically comes out of the wrapping with a copy of the Guardian under it's plucked wing. I added Lancashire cheese between pig and hen and it turned out very nicely anyway...

Rikae is dead? You... you... there are no words in Entish, Elvish, or the tongues of Men (that would not get deleted from a mod) for this!

Well, I guess it doesn't make much sense to bemoan her death now. Only one wolf left while both gifteds and many ordos are still alive. That sounds like pretty good odds for us, but that one wolf needs to be caught still. With Rikae's death and all the stuff that happened near the deadline, I think I have a few opinions to revise now.

Calm down dear! It is only a game. And she did pick up on Sally before anyone else which may have been a factor if the last wolf followed Sally's request.

The odds are good but if the last wolf is among the quieter souls then it may be hard to spot them. :S Night kills may end up being the clues and that is not ideal. Of course with the seer and ranger it makes it harder for them because if they think they have spotted the seer there is a good chance the ranger will spot the same signs and they then have to decide whether to risk it.

Actually, yeah, no chicken would be seen... errr... dead with a copy of the Guardian. Now, if it was a piece of Quorn in a Jamie Oliver sauce, now you're talking

Now where are the celebrations?

One wolf left (and the cobbler) in a village of 11 with the seer and ranger still alive! So 1-10 in counting the outcome, or 2-9 in intentions or alignments, which means we have about five Days to find the last wolf.

We can't lose this. Or if we do... then we shall have to blame our incapability for the wolf has really a hard time to survive now alone.

I'm going to look back at yesterDay and will promise not to make such a gigantic post I made yesterDay of it.

The fact that the votes were so spread and we still got a wolf is interesting.

Rikae -> Sally
Shasta -> Nogrod (not a surprise, he's been after him for a while)
Boro -> Lal (no surprise at all)
Fea -> Mith (not commenting on Fea at all now, though I wish I could - let the wolf figure her out alone)
Lal -> Mith (made sense from her point of view)
Izzy -> Nogrod (this vote might be shady)
McCaber -> Sally (consistently after her. If he's a wolf, he's the most lupocidal one ever)
Mith -> Lal (again, made sense from her point of view)
Nerwen -> Boro (see below)
Sally -> Nogrod (this vote puts Nogrod into a pretty good light, there were so many other choices to vote for)
Nilp -> Sally (very innocent vote)
Nogrod -> Sally (self-preservation)
me -> Sally (out of all Sally-votes, probably the least innocent-looking)

Well, that was less yielding than I thought... the remaining wolf is making his/her cases well, I suppose. Judging by vote placement only, the people who gave a second vote to not-Sally are the most suspicious: Lal, Izzy, Mith. Nerwen is, too: the way she voted, it's a throwaway. If you start something new close to the deadline, you have to be active and get others to follow. She didn't.

I will look at what can be learned from Rikae and Sally later.

Rikae really wants me dead. Why? (Not that I'm complaining, she's not succeeded yet, but she's after me like no other. I wonder....blah, have to talk about that later)Sally posted this yesterday.

Maybe the last wolf thought that she was the Seer.

Mac..I know that - there was an annoying car insurance commercial here where someone gets very agitated about their car being hit and is told "Calm down dear, it's only a commercial"....

Michael Winner creeps into WW? Meh.

It wasn't just Rikae who wanted Sally dead so you could be right there, as why would she pick on Rikae? Though Rikae had flown right under the radar yesterday so she was probably a really easy meal. There will almost certainly be no traces but I'm going to look anyway.

I was hoping to bung more on tonight but I had to go and help clean up baby vomit. And then change all the sheets. And put baby vests to soak and so on. And I found Shelob dead inside the duvet cover. Eyuw.

Okay and here we go again... (I see Mac has done about the same thing but well, now we havew two accounts of yesterDay's voting. Interesting to see if they differ...

Rikae -> Sally
(01.39)
For her voting mainly… also her other posting.

Sally1

Shasta -> Nogrod
(06.23)
“I didn't like Nog yesterday, I would have voted him yesterday, and he's done nothing to assuage my suspicions today.”

Sally1, Nogrod1

Boro -> Lalwendë
(15.32)
After an intensive and consistent campaign against her.

Sally1, Nogrod1, Lalwendë1

Fëa -> Mith
(15.59)
“Sorry, darling. You know I love you, but...” Only her second post of the Day. Very early on the Day she said: “I could see a Mithwolf in this game...” but that’s all.

Nogrod1, Lalwendë1, Mith1

Lal -> Mith
(16.28)
After a whole Day of a row with her.

Sally1, Nogrod1, Lalwendë1, Mith2

Izzy -> Nogrod
(16.34)
“Crap gotta go. Just when things took a turn, oh dear.” Was consistent though.

Sally1, Nogrod1, Lalwendë1, Mith2

McCaber -> Sally
(16.38)
Had been consistently suspecting Sally for her Day1 voting trying to save CoD (which we now know was a correct idea).

Sally2, Nogrod1, Lalwendë1, Mith2

Mith -> Lalwendë
(16.40)
“Anyway wish I could get a woluf but surviving and a cobbler would do for today.” And we know how they were fighting yesterday anyway.

Sally2, Nogrod1, Lalwendë2, Mith2

Nerwen -> Boro
(16.40)
“I was having a serious think about voting for the de facto cobbler– that's what Lalwendë is, whatever her official role– just to get her out of the way”. Has suspected Boro from his Day1 vote onwards, consistently votes him even if discussed him yesterday not too much (one comment that is).

Sally2, Nogrod2, Lalwendë2, Mith2, Boro1

Sally -> Nogrod
(16.52)
“Again, of my suspects he's top of the list. I wouldn't mind a Lal lynch either, but at the moment I've got bigger Finns, erm fish, to fry.” Is being consistent though.

Sally2, Nogrod3, Lalwendë2, Mith2, Boro1

Nilp -> Sally
(16.55)
Said he didn’t have any serious suspicions but that of Lal the Cobbler.

Sally3, Nogrod3, Lalwendë2, Mith2, Boro1

Nogrod -> Sally
(17.00)
She was one of my top candidates but there were obvious reasons why I chose her from the other possibilities…

Sally4, Nogrod3, Lalwendë2, Mith2, Boro1

Mac -> Sally
(17.00)
“I'm tempted to vote both Mith and Lal for going off-topic that way right before the deadline.” Wished to get Boro lynched. Sally was her suspicion number two (shared place with Nilp).

Sally5, Nogrod3, Lalwendë2, Mith2, Boro1

Gah 'puter has just eaten my post. Still think Lal is best cobbler bet but given that I don't understand what is going on with Fea. Nerwen , Izzy and Shasta are creeping me out. Nerwn probably most. Izzy's vote for CoD could have been wolf on wolf gone bad.... played safe with Nogrod since .. and you can usually make a case for voting Nogrod I find. Though he is looking fairly innocent now by his voting.

Hmm thing that is Goodnight from me now.
