Why, Eru, why! Why now! I had a vacation coming up soon!

Truly, this is a sad day in the history of the Seal Folk. The loss of Elempi shall always sting in my mind. Perhaps a holiday of remembrance should be put into writing? That is, assuming that any of us survive this horrid ordeal.

It's those blasted wizards, I tell you! That's the core of this problem. Those Watchers told us this would happen, and here it is. And what's worse? We can't even get rid of this Evil fellow ourselves! The Good Wizard has to do it for us. And until that time, we won't have any clue what's happening. Until the wizards are gone... *thinks*

That gives me an idea. We have to find those wizards. Well, maybe not 'those' wizards so much as a wizard. It'd be pretty hard to find both, but we don't have to. Think about it. If we try to lynch the Evil Wizard and thus reveal him, then the Good Wizard can call him out and kill him. Then we can concentrate on finding all the wolves that will be running around. Conversely, if we accidentally try to lynch the Good Wizard, then we will know who he is and be able to follow his lead. The Evil Wizard won't be too eager to battle him, as his [the EW's] strength lies in surviving for long enough to make lots of wolves.

So, what do the rest of you think? I'm thinking it's almost a win-win. It gives us something solid to shoot for, as opposed to randomly lynching people who might be wolves, or might have been wolves, or whatever. *thinks again* Ah, shoot, maybe I'm off my rocker anyway. I guess it's almost just as random, but I'd rather have something solid to shoot for than try to aim at something that won't stay still!

But, seeing as this plan might not be favorable by all, I guess I should try something else. If we are concentrating on wolves, then it seems like we should think about who's least likely to be dreamed of by a Seer. I'm going to use Saucepan as an example, because he's well respected for his mind.

I do not think we should worry about Saucepan Man. Here's why: Even if he is turned into a wolf (which would be the only reason we would want to lynch him) then he'll probably be revealed sooner rather than later anyway. That's because any good Seer will dream of him first (or close to that). So, if the Seer will dream of him, then we'll have a good way of figuring out if he's a wolf or not.

So, in summary, I think we should aim to lynch people who would not be obvious Seer choices. And on that note, I think we should look at Naria or Alcarillo or Azaelia or Lommy or Lalaith.

Wow, that was a mouthful. But I do have a bit more to say, although you'll have to read it here.
