I wouldn't stoop that low. That would completely strip away any feeling of accomplishment.

My whole thing about never denying being a WW was an issue of pride. I thought it was a fantastic accomplishment- being truthful to the point that you never say "I'm not a WW" and never ask "Why was so-and-so killed last night?" except in games where such statements would be true. It's hard to explain exactly. I just sort of got this insane pleasure from being a fairly truthful WW. It was a joy to tell the villagers why the WWs killed who they did the night before, when I was actually the WW and was telling them my own kill strategy. I found it sickeningly delightful.

Why?

It was a fact that someone died. There is no Ranger to save us. So the fact that a death took place was in no way arguable.

It was a fact that the deceased was a male, which meant you, Nog, or I.

The thought that it was me occured to me, but that thought vanished by the time I reached the end, for there is a particular something Fea would say if it was my death. You see, I made a special request that upon my death a certain Shakespeare quote be worked in, and Fea granted my request.

So that narrowed the choice down to you and Nog. So that's when I went to the Planning Thread to see which of you was the Philosopher.

It was Nog.

Seeing as her narrative led me to a very solid conclusion, I didn't see the point in questioning her. She wasn't vague.

Bingo.
