Oh dear, it's getting a little hot under the collar here! It seems I've had an inauspicious first DAY.
I feel the need to explain myself a little.
First, this:

Tar: I'm still a little suspicious of, because of his flip flopage. He's not posted in a while, either. Dunno, but I doubt I'll vote for him. I'd rather keep an eye on him for a while first.

If you will toddle over to the planning thread, you'll see that I noted I am in Asia. I'm at GMT +7, which is exactly 12 hours different from the Eastern U.S. That means I will post when I can, but posting during the most active hours for you would mean staying up all night. This I cannot do. Look for me at the beginning and ending of each DAY.
Next, the "flip-flop issue."
I will admit that when I heard of this terrible tragedy in our village, I felt in my old bones that something needed to be done. I spoke in terror, in horror of the tales of other villages that have turned on their own innocents. As I have stated above, I was wrong. I should not have advised quiet or waiting. Since trying to correct my tragic error, I have been consistent. I have urged people to voice their suspicions.
Unfortunately my errors did not end there. I posted this, which has raised some suspicions:
Quote:
But of course, Gurthang! I said that we should refrain from accusing the innocent. But I also know that whomever I accuse is sure to be guilty, so no worries there.

This was mere bravado, an attempt to cancel the overcaution of my previous post. It was another error, I can see now.
I do not want to be a silent, helpless (and unhelpful) bystander who watches my village slowly dwindle. Unfortunately, in all my long years I have never had to deal with a menace of this nature. I hope that you can forgive an old woman for what ought to be a young person's mistakes.
I have also fallen under suspicion for having a "prime suspect" so early in the game. Tell me, how is having one prime suspect different from creating a whole suspect list? My accusation is just as valid toDAY as the lists posted by others.
I will wait a little longer before voting, but I hope that you will not consider the mistakes of an old woman to be the behavior of a fiend.
