Tol-in-Gaurhoth IV (The Saga, erm, Still Continues...)

[Lalaith]

I was thinking of abstaining from today's vote, as a self-inflicted punishment for Oddwen's fate. But I realise that with just 12 left, and two absentees, the worst-case scenario is that three werewolves vote and just seven innocents. (Assuming that Feanor and Celuinen are not werewolves).
One thought on yesterday's voting: it is nigh on impossible, as some have already pointed out, I think, to work out from the voting who is a werewolf. The chief suspects were all innocent, and the wolves knew it, so it didn't matter which one they voted for.
My other thought: it is human instinct, particularly in times of stress such as these, to trust those who trust us. I for one feel grateful to the villagers who have thought me innocent, and want to trust them in return.
BUT, then a dark thought plagued me, in keeping with these dark times. The only ones who really know that I, or anyone else, is innocent are the werewolves. If a werewolf is lynched, then his remarks will be scrutinised and those villagers who received his public support will be suspected and probably lynched. Which would save his fellow wolves at the fake ally's expense.
This is not to belie any honourable villager defending those they believe innocent. Many of us have done this, as is our duty, and I think that those who have defended me are honourable. But I wanted to bring this up as a general point, to bear in mind (if and when we ever manage to kill a werewolf. )
