Werewolf LIII: The Republic

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

And then the still-living wolf snickered, murmuring while nobody could hear:

"Village, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou are not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Village, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou'art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy'or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And Gwath shall be no more; Gwath, thou shalt die."

Dear John Donne: I'm so, so sorry.

Well at least we can be sure that the remaining werewolf is NOT Helen Gardner...

Indeed. Nor John Donne.

You know, I could really get used to checking in and not finding six new pages... My own fault, I know...

[Mithalwen]

|I am sorry - I hoped to around more over the weekend but stuff happened.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Psh. I was talking about like the first three days when I'd have a one hour class, come back and find like four pages of banter.

It really wasn't that bad catching up yesterday.

Something sad happened and I've been rather down all day, so I couldn't bring myself to actually start thinking about stuff like "who's the last werewolf" but now I feel a little better and will do my best to do something. So, without further whining...

Well, first off, I'm more than surprised to see that this game is still going on. As you might have noticed, I was rather confident that Gwath was our last wolf. Whoever is our last wolf is doing rather convincing job.

I think we shouldn't make too much out of the lack of a kill. It could mean basically anything and we are just going to distract ourselves if we concentrate on it.

Yeah, that wasn't much, I know. I'll be back soon to say more stuff. Meanwhile, I'll let Greenie post.

[A Little Green]

I just had the worst day in a long while - I don't know how much I'll post toDay. It was lovely, though, that there was a break so I didn't miss much during my time in Paris.

Now to topic, then - I'm surprised that Gwath wasn't guilty, but then, my instincts have been horribly wrong all game. *sigh* I should probably make a list - the ones who are left all seem innocentish to me. Yeah, I probably make a list and then vote a rep. Just by intuition I'd say Lommy and Rune at least are innocent. Yes and Lommy, I'd love to know what that factual evidence is if you only could share it.

Anyone around?

But surely, it could be just bluff as well... (I remember I was once a wolf with xyzzy and while I was lynched early on he got really far because he pretended to be confused about something related to me, asking "who's Lommy", or something like that.)

As far as I know, they don't know each other particularily well, so the possibility of a beforehand-planned wolf-on-wolf fight seems less probable... Also, morm almost got her lynched. I don't know if the wolves would have taken such a risk for no obvious benefits...

Would a wolf say this about a fellow? Spotlight the fact that his fellow has avoided making any ties to him? I don't think so...

Brinn and Greenie - no "evidence".

Comments to follow in next post...

I'm not gonna bother attempting any long analysis because if Ilya is indeed the final wolf, it'll just be wasted time. But I'll still share some quick thoughts before deadline:

Gil-Galad: Hasn't shown up, therefore nothing new.

Greenie: Is a slippery one. I still can't get a good read on her and while part of me wants to trust her, I'm just not sure.

Lommy: Everyone seems to think her innocent, which worries me. While there's nothing about her that I find particularly suspicious, I can imagine a sneaky Lommy-wolf snickering in the background.

Kath: Is someone I could see as a possible wolf, but I'm not sure.

Nerwen: Hasn't shown up for the second half of the Day. She's still a question mark, yet her quietness does worry me.

Rune: I'm feeling a bit better about him. If he were the wolf, I think he would've gone ahead and chosen to lynch me. After all, a vote for me wouldn't exactly be suspicious coming from him since he does typically suspect me in every game.

Ilya: The one doomed to die. She was another I wasn't sure about. I like her style, though I found it a tad frustrating that she didn't provide a whole lot of substance. Yet, her parting post makes me think she might be innocent after all. The post sounds genuine and as I mentioned, she does give some good advice. 'Tis a shame though that it took her getting lynched to say it.

Hmm...while I'm doubtful of Ilya's guilt, I do hope she actually is the last wolf. Otherwise I'm afraid I'm gonna have to do a lot of research come toMorrow because I have no clue.

[Nerwen]

Sorry, I simply haven't been able to post all day.


So Ilya's got it. Well, yes, it could be her... still a half-random lynch, though... and though I suspected her earlier in the game, she's seemed fairly okay since then.

*sigh* The trouble is that we've all been too tied up with RL to play properly.

If it's not her, I suggest we take note of her parting words and have a look at the more influential players.

Lommy and Greenie both fit that bill and yet have managed to avoid suspicion... too much so? Hmmn.

And Kath... I'd been thinking she doesn't seem like a Kathwolf, but then I realised I've never played with one. I tend to assume she's innocent, but that's probably not a good thing.

Rune– well, he's another I've been thinking of him as innocent, mainly because it seems to me that a wolf wouldn't have made his ties to morm so obvious... but again that may not be a safe assumption.

Brinniel –well, yes, she's helped build up suspicion on people who turned out innocent, stuff like that... but I don't see her "turnaround" on Gwath as suspicious. It's what I was thinking as I read through yesterDay.

Gil –at least two people have said they don't feel as if there IS a wolf in the game. Maybe he's the reason. We're just assuming Fea wouldn't do that to us.

So yeah, you're all wolves.

EDIT: X'd with Fea. Sorry, O Moddess. I thought I had more time.
