As such, the only truly suspicious person (by profession, nothing more) today is Menel, so he'll get my vote today......Crossposted with Naria...And to say, apologies again for the early vote, and in advance for my absence after.

Fear not Azaelia, I respect your integrity for not forsaking your duty as a villager to defend our safety. It is indeed a random vote and I have yet to decide, you have fulfilled your duty. If you were guilty I expect a more tactful move. However, I have yet to trust any of you and it is my family and my stock that I hold as important.

Garin - has posted a fair bit, but I still don't feel I know where he stands

Too early and so many not heard from, but accusations and rebuttals have revealed much character from our fellow villagers. I don't stand in accusation of anyone until all of our people are heard from. However, remain silent in the face of this crisis and I believe you ( the mute) should and will die. I respect that hours are hard and long on these foresaken plains. I have faith that we will know much more soon.

Garin - Offered a few mild accusations at the beginning of this day and then mellowed down and said pretty much nothing on his other posts. Still, he looks pretty innocent, as someone who tried to spark some debate and then tried not to stick his neck too far off the line.

You are quite observant Farael, one must stimulate debate but avoid being wolf bait the following evening. I respect your rebuttal and find myself to trust you a bit. Although, I admit to partaking in some sickening grog at the passing of a townsman- fare thee well Form . I hope you find a market for your worms in a town so devoid of fishmongers. Maybe with some spices from Southern Lands we can make them edible.
I will glower over the postings of all as i perch upon my roof and guard my spooked animals from more massacre.

I would suggest that the Seer should come out and name the wolf. Now, I know this means certain death for our current Seer, but since we have an Apprentice.

Now what do you suggest of the apprentice, shall he come forth to the slaughter as well? Losing the seer so early would be a blunder since there are more gifteds an apprentice can replace. Let the wolves prey upon a random villager. We should not offer anyone upon a platter, just yet.
Your idea of the gifteds becoming so vocal remind me of an old friend, long dead. I say a true seer can let his knowledge be known without baring his neck for the fangs of the filthy wolves.
I'd hate to stand in accusation Gurthang but I am wary of your suggestion. May our village survive.

Garn! Where's a nice long piece of 'dentulflos' when you need one? I got some pieces of sheep shank stuck in my teeth!

Oh, so someone got his/her/its piece of fresh meat, too, eh? Poor Formendaga* . . . errr . . . Formendacil. But I think I know who killed you.

It's obvious: spawn, Holby, and Eomer are the Werewolves among us. They've been too silent, plus two of them have motives. What more can be said? What do you mean they're not playing???

Crikey. It's back to Plan A, then.

However, given that a certain Nilpaurion Felagund also resides in this village, I believe that he'll probably show up asking to be lynched before long....heh heh (Menel)

You know me too well, my friend.

Lynch me. I'm serious. Do it or else I shall be forced to do the unthinkable and vote for myself. You don't believe me? Fine!

++Nilpaurion Felagund

Let's see if you don't believe me the next time!

Nilpaurion it is foolish to offer yourself to the noose, unless it is a bluff. I play a strange new game from the west named Pokr that you bring to mind.
Et tu, Alcarillo. Please don't ask for my murder without an explanation beyond 'gotta go.' We need reasons, we still have several hours and I want a wolf to die. It helps to have a reason on this so random of days.
I am done for now and seek the solace of Azaelia who should now be trembling and sweating and vulnerable from the lack of drink

I have been like this ever since my first incarnation, lo all those ages before. It is too late to change. Welcome to my game, Herr Garin.

Danke selbstmörderischer,
I hope we live to revel in the village's triumph over the lycans. You are probably too crazy to be guilty.
guten Nacht

**Looking out the window of the town hall** There are still three of us missing: TGWBS, Gil-Galad and Lhuna I think that we should wait to hear from them before anyone else decides to make an "early vote". Hopefully soon though, the day is getting on.

[Lhunardawen]

Alas that my delicious blueberry cheesecake is the last thing the dashing gentleman had ever eaten...sleep in peace, dear Formendacil.

My apologies, fellow villagers (and rotten lycans loitering around) for my late appearance, but yes, as Farael said, I do have timezones and it's such a malady. Too bad we don't have a doctor. Plus there have been a lot of orders for my famous forgetfulness potion-laden pizzas; no doubt this recent tragedy is to blame for that, but I certainly don't mind the inflow of cash.

That makes me miss Formendacil even more, for he mentored me in the arts of creating the perfect pizza...

But there's no time for me, indeed for all of us, to agonize over his death right now. What we all must do now is kill all these werewolves so our village could continue to survive.

However, it is apparent that on the first Day nothing substantial will be happening, and the events toDay normally make sense only after a few Days. There are not much real suspicions around either, for most are just based on the occupations. It will do us good to continue this kind of baseless finger-pointing, for in the Days to come they will reveal to us hopefully more than we thought they could. And also, we should keep our votes as scattered as possible, but not to the excess. Those who join large-scale bandwagons will surely be questioned the next Day, as well as those who vote for someone else when there already is a sufficient number of votees.

A rather confusing circumstance we are stuck in, is it not?

As for this Nilp guy, we have not much to lose if we lynch him. If he's a wolf, hooray for us. If he's a gifted, stupid of him for voting against himself. If he's an ordo, we have one less villager to worry about. Of course I would rather cast my vote against a known villain, but what do we all know right now? Except for the Seer (whoever they have dreamed of last Night), we're all completely clueless. (Oh, and of course, these dirty werewolves also know quite a lot of things.) Speaking of the Seer, I think it is best for them to stay hidden until whenever they deem the time is ripe, but it's their role and they'll do as they please.

I'll wait for some time and be back for my final words and a vote before returning to making pizzas, in honor of dear Formendacil. Pizza-making is a time-consuming task, you know.
