Alas poor Boromir88, he willingly gave his life for the Village. Not that there is much left of the Village ...

Unfortunately, the only way to guarantee that we stop the dastardly Black Beorning in his (or her) tracks is to carry through the mass lynch plan. We could lynch one person to-Day and one more to-Morrow. Or we could go for a double lynching to-Day. Either way, if we get it wrong, we're doomed and the Bear goes free.

Being a cautious soul, I would rather go for the guaranteed kill. But, since I am the only known innocent (as proved beyond all doubt by Boromir88's death and confirmation as the Seer) and therefore will not be the one doing the dying, we should only do it if at least three out of the four others that remain agree.

If we do, then I suggest the voting goes as follows:

The Saucepan Man does not vote.
Dancing spawn votes for Gurthang.
Gurthang votes for Meneltarmacil.
Meneltarmacil votes for Samwise Gamgee.
Samwise Gamgee votes for dancing spawn.

It is regrettable, but the best way in my opinion.

But please - no voting until all have had an opportunity to be heard.

As you said, Saucy, it's regrettable but we cannot guarantee our victory in any other way. Well, except, you can always leave me alive and lynch only Gurthang, Menel and Samwise, but somehow I don't see that happening.

You know, it would be very decent of the bear if he (yes, he) just surrendered so we wouldn't have to kill everybody. But, of course, I'm asking too much.

Poor Boromir. He was always rather insightful, but in a not-so-obvious way. At least he was able to give us an innocent before he died. (I also wonder what became of CaptaionofDespair's shrews? )

It is rather sad that our village will be reduced to one person after today. I almost feel it would be better to leave a couple of people so that we have a village left rather than just a person. But that being said, no one will trust anyone now except Saucepan Man, so I think we are going to have to do the mass lynching.


Just in case: I may not be on much toDay(college life and all). I don't know if you want to start voting without me or wait on me; that's up to Saucepan Man. Also if we do end up with just a double lynching, which is unlikely, I am more suspicious of SamwiseGamgee and Meneltarmacil than dancing spawn, so I would support lynching the two of them. But as I said, nobody trusts anyone, so that is unlikely.

Indeed. I shall be quite lonely all on my own! Perhaps I shall move on in search of more foul lycanthropes to despatch, now that I am better acquainted with their ways.

Three Villagers have now signified their consent to the mass lynching plan. I don't think we need wait for SamwiseGamgee. Please could everyone now vote in accordance with the directions set out in my first post of today (#434). Remember, all innocent Villagers must follow this plan if it is to be successful.

The only way that the Bear can survive to-Day is to vote for someone other than his "assigned" Villager. If he (or she) does that, we lose an innocent to-Day, an innocent over-Night (probably me) and the remaining two innocents can kill him (or her) off to-Morrow.

I can always come in with a late vote and save the innocents if the identity of the Bear becomes clear during the course of to-Day.

Ask not what your Village can do for you, but what you can do for your Village.
