"Wilt thou, O God, fly from such gentle lambs,
And throw them in the entrails of the wolf?"
(Richard III. IV.iv)

What horror! O what plauge hath now befallen our poor Storyland. 'Tis sorrowful indead that no more should our worse fear be the forgetting of a line or plot.

As to what has here been said before mine entrance I have no qualms with the plan to protect the seer. It seems like 'twill give the hairy fiends a double headache in their nightly plots. I do however feel the much debated "short-list voting" to be lacking somewhat in mathmatics. I agree that 'twould double the werewolves already doubled headaches but I do agree there are to many innocents per wolf for it to be of any major use. Perhaps 'twould be better not to limit the voting but to each morn list the records of all previous voting. 'Twould then accomplish the same thing in that it would give us a clear record of voting habits but 'twould also not limit those for whom we can vote and so does not risk the same statistical problems as the current plan.
