While before I had thought Eomer a possible top suspect, Agan seemed to hop onto me quite suddenly, and since I started suspecting her she's pressed harder. A possible panicked wolf? Greenie, however, looks a wolf based on most of her behavior. Her vote for Wilwa (and then for me, when she had said in a closely previous post that she was so far undecided on me) makes me extremely worried.

I think that either Eomer or Greenie HAS to be a wolf, because while I don't think them being wolves together is an option any longer, I think they're both rather independently evil, Greenie especially. I can't get a feel on who Agan's pack would be, which makes me think that perhaps she's not a wolf after all, but she, too, feels furry and opportunistic. Perhaps a Finnish pack? I'm not sure.

Greenie's #206 is the most worrisome post for me. She gives the possibility both of me catching Agan and me trying to set her up, and then quickly seems to decide that I must be the evil one in the situation. Quick hop of logic there.


Basically my main suspects are Greenie and Eomer, because I'm almost certain that one of them is evil, and Agan as third place. Skip too depending on how he answers my question above.
Almost forgot to apologise for being the main cause of Greenie's lynching. Sometimes you just get an idea in your head and it stays there. Got it very wrong.

A bit cheeky of me then, perhaps, to highlight this post from Sally, but I'm doing some re-reading and this jumps out as being very suspicious.

She has decided that either Eomer or Green "HAS to be a wolf" and I'm not sure why she would come to this conclusion - especially when she clearly states that she has two other suspects.

My main reason for suspecting her is that this move looks like a subtle manipulation attempt. I was highly suspected the day before, correct? Almost the one most likely to be lynched. What better way to get two birds with one stone than to push a relatively unsuspected (until that day) villager ahead of Mr Public Enemy while simultaneously forging a connexion between the two? Pushing this theory cleverly plants the idea that, when Green's innocent nature is revealed, Eomer is somehow more suspicious than he was.

I dunno, this just seems off to me. Maybe I'm being paranoid (who am I kidding - it's what the game is all about!) I don't know how she can narrow down the list like that. We all have top suspects - I myself yesterday said that I'd want Loslote killed if the choice of Greenie was wrong. But Sally's wording seems evil to me.

So, I know we are all getting rather jumpy regardless of our allegiances but it would be interesting to know who you would consider putting your vote on at this point. Cards on the table now, and remember, no time to play around any longer...

Eomer? He's in vogue no doubt...

Pitchwife perhaps? He has had a smooth ride so far, despite some potentially suspect and shadowy activities...

Lottie?

Or me? On the account of this alleged cobblery?

No shadow has fallen on Aganzir either for some reason. Always worrisome though...

Nerwen?

Sally?

Well Skip, since you ask, I am of course not feeling good about anybody right now. I'm feeling worse about Sally and Loslote than anyone else; I am usually worried about Nerwen and always suspicious of Aganzir; and I'm afraid that the only reason I'm not worrying overly much about you and Pitch is that I don't know you as well as the previous two.

I think we'd all do well, though, to take a few minutes, breathe deeply, and consider every single one of the villagers rationally. There's a danger of getting tunnel-vision at this stage.

It's good advice for myself, certainly.

*applauds* Ooo, nice villainous conversational style you've got there, Skip. I do hope you're a baddie, now, because it'd be such a waste if you're not!

EDIT:X'd with Eomer.

*shrug* Well, each is quite capable of daring tactics, that's true. And they could be working together. That's if it's not you, of course.

No voting until Agan and Pitch have shown up. We need to give the Seer a chance to reveal, if he/she chooses.

EDIT:X'd with Agan.

Agreed. Let everyone speak.

So you're suggesting we should ignore the cobbler because there's a chance the wolves might kill her?
Okay let's get two things straight here.

1) I'm not trying to save the cobbler or claiming that we should ignore him/her. All I'm saying is that it would be much better to lynch a wolf than to lynch a cobbler. If we get a wolf toDay and especially if the Seer gets another dream and lives to tell the tale, the village will almost certainly win. If we lynch a cobbler, the wolves still have the advantage.

2) You don't know I'm the cobbler, although you might think you do. In fact I'm not.

Only one way to find out, sweetie! Seriously though, don't lynch me, I'd do you no good. And I tell you this much: I wouldn't lynch you.

See, this is the sort of comment that makes us (or at least me, I won't speak for others) think you're the cobbler.

EDIT: xed with Skip
