WWLXII: Dead Men Do Tell Tales

[Thinlómien]

I can't be around much but I have one post to make - I owe you all an apology and an explanation. I'm sorry I got myself lynched for I was the ranger. (Why reveal now, well, what kind of a living ranger would not have revealed yesterDay? And I want to make sure there are no more false reveals.) I was just so darn stupid, I knew Mac was trying to flush me out so I couldn't just give up and give him what he wants - but I should have done that when I got the two votes. (You know, when I was trying to sleep after staying awake so long, I had a few lines from the song Hellfire from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame stuck in my head: "mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa" and "it's not my fault, but in God's plan, he made the devil so much stronger than a man".)

Anyway, you can now finally stop wondering at my behaviour - you know why Mac's "reveal" didn't make me falter, you know why I had to stay awake all night. (Yes, I'm stupid, I decided already very early I have to stay awake as long as possible so that I can counter when Mac makes a ranger reveal - I knew he was going to do it at some phase - and then I didn't do it even when it would have been necessary, not that people would necessarily have believed me anyway... But I was so darn stupid, argh, it's going to take months or Nerwen's proven cobblerism that I can forgive myself, I let pride go before common sense, I didn't want Mac to flush me out and I was so sure I'd finally make a save next Night if I was allowed to live... Well, I learned a lesson there.)

Why was I so aggressive about Mac? Well I was and am really certain of his guilt, it looks evident. But like I told Boro yesterDay, I did not let my occasional swings of uncertainity show, I just kept trusting my general impression and attacking him recklessly - I figured after a while that it'd keep me alive because the mutineers would never ever expect a ranger to be so reckless and they wouldn't kill me if I was right about Mac. So it was all well until yesterDay's disaster.

And because you probably want to know, even though it doesn't matter, my picks were Mira, Nerwen, Rikae (holy cow she threatened to take me with her so I had to protect her even though I thought she was probably lying and that the mutineers may avoid her because of the possible protection, I just couldn't take the risk - I wish I had followed the no riks tactic later on too), Kath (I think, I'm not sure to be honest, I might have protected Mith or Nerwen too, but I think it was Kath) and Boro (I was so sure it's going to be me that Night, or possibly him, but no one else for certain - well I was thinking Zil is a mutineer ).

So maybe knowing this, you can also judge Mac better. I say we lynch him, and Shasta next, the way he acted yesterDay was definitely NOT innocent. I advice looking at everybody's reactions yesterDay, it will probably help a lot.

I'm not sure we can win this anymore, there being probably 2 wolves and 2 cobblers around, but we can try, and that starts with lynching Mac.

Goodbye. You managed to get the ranger lynched, hats off to that, but otherwise you were a crappy mutineer because you were so obvious.

Mac is a wolf.

Izzy is a cobbler. The other cobbler is either Mith or Nerwen.

Shasta is either a wolf or an ordo, but probably a wolf because I can't believe we'd be so lucky as to have just one wolf remaining. (If Shasta isn't a wolf, then Mith is, but that seems unlikely.)

Eönwë and Gwath are innocent. I think Gwath has been kept around just so that the innocents don't die unfairly early just because of numbers, especially as already two of us have gone by modfire (assuming they were innocent, of course).

Eönwë, I think Boro was killed because he was quite evidently innocent, he has proven to be very sharp, and Mac a known-wolf-to-be they didn't need Boro anymore as his other remaining-alive cover.

I'd love to stay to chat, to suspect, to help, to smash Mac to pieces by finding all the holes in his story, but this is my grandmother's computer and due to various reasons no one can sleep while I'm online and it's getting close midnight, so I have to go. Maybe it's better too, my attacks againstMac seem only to have helped him this far. Anyway, if there is a toMorrow, I will be around more then and I will do my best to help you catch the final baddie(s) and redeem myself after being such a lousy living ranger. Good night and lycnh well (I guess I don't have to elaborate what that means )!
