Well, Shelob, I'm glad the village had the good sense to not go with the plan; for it necessarily presupposed that Werewolves would not lie, which would be the single stupidest strategy in the history of Werewolf.
Mithalwen, I'll let you off, because you did say you were confused and seemingly wanted me to explain further.
Shelob, for intricately dissecting an utterly farcical plan, I will not let off.
As for joking at a time like this, laughter is the best medicine. Fact.
