AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry. I disappeared to another state to visit my boyfriend and didn't have access to a computer. I thought I would. Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry.

On the other hand, WOOHOO a wolf is gone! One left, and I'm definitely agreeing with Farael after reading the posts over. Cailin's recent voting record looks extremely suspicious. Her most recent post about also seems very confusing and self-defeating--she seems to be assuming that the remaining wolf will go for Naria if not lynched today. How would a non-wolf know wolfish plans?

I would like to see what else comes up during the DAY but I unfortunately have to go to sleep since I'm at school more than usual tomorrow. (I hate senior year.) So, since I won't be back on to my knowledge and even if I am, better safe than sorry:

++CAILIN

Azaelia of Willowbottom · 01-23-2006, 09:14 PM

If you had not just posted, Malka, you would have gotten my vote this evening.

As it is, Farael's and Malka's reasoning has drawn me to the conclusion that perhaps our wolf is trickier than we thought...Cailin has always been reasonable, perhaps too reasonable.

Though the suggestion of Naria not choosing if she doesn't have a sure target and our lynch-ee today is innocent does make sense if I think about it...because we're a village of 5, 4 of us innocent. If our lynch-victim is innocent, we're down to 4, and 3 innocents. And then, if Naria is eaten toNight, and she picks an innocent victim, that's another two down. One wolf and one innocent. We lose. Which may be why Naria is still alive...because the wolf was hiding behind a hope that she would become confused and take an innocent out tonight.

However, I do not know about Farael, either...he also is very reasonable, or at least reasonable-seeming. But I've harbored some degree of suspicion against him for a long time. His idea of letting someone suspicious (Malka) slide for another night could be letting a wolf get away. And he did bring up an argument against Cailin first. (And to really beat the dead horse, he was the one to call for Lhuna to reveal herself.)

And Malka's previous lack of participation is also suspicious, though that alone should not condemn her, and she was absent yesterDay.

Naria is the only one I know for sure is innocent.

And my schedule demands that I have to vote now or not at all. eek.

My mind says Cailin. My gut says Farael. And Malka lurks around the edge of it all (I, too, have a sense of melodrama).

But my time is up. I've convinced myself. I am going to vote for

++Farael

But my gut instincts have been very, very wrong before. So wrong that I don't know why I bother to listen to them anymore. I just know that Cailin and Malka both feel wrong. I would urge all those who have not voted yet to please withold and use all time available to vote, to gather all facts that you can because this could just be our last day to catch a wolf. I'm not saying vote for Farael. I'm saying look around, post a lot, weigh your options carefully.

If this is putting pressure on anyone, I apologize.

If Cailin is innocent (stranger things have certainly happened) I would recommend looking at Farael because he sounded off with a lot of force against her, and was the first to do so.

Well. I hope we all survive this coming Night. And I hope to "see" this village alive and kicking when I return from work on Wednesday night in time to see the events of the rest of today, and to see if we survived.

you kidding my friend? if I wasn't almost convinced of Cailin's guilt I'd be voting for you!!! you say you don't want to let a suspect get away yet... you vote for me rather than the suspect?

You know as well as I do that it was the right call to make at the time. There is no way Lhuna would have survived this far and she would have gathered no new information. At least we knew of a few innocents for a while.

Please, review yesterday's posting to see who sounded off with a lot of force against Amanduial the Wolf!!

Mark my words... not only you will find the village alive and kicking, but it will be wolf free.

We know that Naria is innocent and unless Malka has lied to us by saying she did not have Internet until just a while ago today (which would not qualify as "fair game") it would have meant that she could have not chosen the wolve's kill for the night. That leaves Azaelia, Cailin and Me. If my voting record does not speak for itself (Fangarin and Amanduial the wolf) then I say you should kill me now and rid yourselves of the doubt. But you will be voting towards your own destruction.

That leaves Azaelia and Cailin. I'm willing to spare Azaelia for the time being as Cailin has been much more suspicious than her. I will cast an early vote because I can't be certain I will be around tomorrow, but I trully believe

++Cailin
Is the wolf.

Cailín · 01-24-2006, 01:43 AM

I feared this might happen. This sudden voting for me is unreasoned, not very bright and probably the result of our longstanding weariness. Believe me, I wish I were a wolf. If I was, I would have played a brilliant game, and I have not. I said yesterDay how dangerous it would be to change strategy just before the end and obviously, no one really paid attention or thought I was just being wolvish.

I don´t think Farael is guilty. If I am lynched and found innocent toDay Naria is likely going to hunt you and the wolves lose. I think you just took too big a risk for a wolf, but I am not too certain. If I vote for you now, and you are innocent - as I believe you are - I shall be the one hunted toNight and we lose too. So I will definitely not to do that. Anyway, I hope you will soon regret your decision Farael, or prove to be the final wolf for your own sake. I was not against the lynching of Amanaduial, and have always argued for it, even though I never actually voted for her, which - I grant - must seem a little suspicious. However, Malkatoj is still the important suspicious one. Her votes were more off than mine and her enthusiasm to start the upcoming bandwagon against me shows.

Huhm, but anyway:

++CAILIN

Naria - I leave it up to you and if you are not killed toNight, I leave it up to the remaining villagers tomorrow. I can't get Malkatoj lynched anymore toDay. And if I have to die, I shall go on my own terms and I shall not be disgracefully shot in the Night. Besides, I have always wanted to vote for myself once. Nilp has it right, tis quite fun. I will be around later on to provide you with my final thoughts.

Cailín · 01-24-2006, 02:32 AM

I actually have classes to attend but I feel I have to share my thoughts with you right now.

I am sorry Farael is so convinced of my guilt, for the longer I think about it, the more I think he´s innocent. Imagine Farael being the last wolf. Naria was set to kill Malkatoj or possibly –but not probably- me last night. Farael could have just killed Naria & Malka and try framing me or Malka for it toDay. This scheme would likely have succeeded, for I am the most suspicious character after Malkatoj. Bút, the wolf chose to kill Rune, an ordinary instead. Wolf-Farael has nothing to gain and everything to lose if he followed this strategy. Accusing me during the Day and me an innocent being lynched, plus no more suspicious Malkatoj to fall back on, Farael would be in serious danger. Therefore I can only conclude Farael is a slightly deluded innocent.

Because of the reasoning above, I could never have voted for Farael. Even if I would have been able to convince Naria of my innocence, that would quickly have changed toNight and Naria would very likely have hunted me – seeing as she was suspicious of me since the beginning.

If Azaelia is the final wolf, kudos to her. Well done. But I’m still 90% certain the final wolf is Malkatoj. Remember - she was the only one who clearly had anything to gain by toNight's events. So consider it my dying wish that she is hunted toNight and if it comes to that, lynched tomorrow. And also – ironically enough – I am pleading for Farael’s life. He is simply a little foolish, but I highly doubt he’s a wolf.

Formendacil · 01-24-2006, 04:01 PM

Another day had passed. The last of the villagers were quiet and wary. They no longer trusted any of their companions. All that they wished to know was who was guilty. But no one, naturally, was exactly forthcoming in answering that question.

The votes for the day were tallied, each of the villagers stonily counting over each other's shoulders. Cailín had drawn the short straw.

"I won't put up a fuss," she said. "I must have done something to deserve this- unless you're ALL werewolves.

They went to the hanging tree.

"Erm... any last words?" asked Farael, uncomfortably conscious of some of the death speeches they had already heard.

"No, I don't think so," said Cailín. "I'm ready to go. This almost feels like a Numenorean release..."

"Then our apologies if you're innocent, and our hatred if you're not," said Naria, and soon Cailín hung from the tree- dead.

"Not a single sign of wolfishness," said Azaelia, drawing away from Farael and Malkatoj, as if one of them would eat her.

"This is getting frustrating," said Naria, irritably.

"Come on," said Malkatoj. "Let's all go to bed. By this time tomorrow, it should all be over."

DAY 8 is over, NIGHT 9 is begun. Please cease posting- not that you have done any of that for the last twelve hours...

Due to the number of villagers remaining, tomorrow will be the last day. Due to the lack of a Night therefollowing, and due to my annoying worklife, I'll probably let the day end slide for a few hours.

Werewolf, Hunter... the last night comes. Names please.

Formendacil · 01-25-2006, 10:57 AM

I appear to have been rather wool-headed yesterday... and probably still am, mind you. I blame it on the pizzas...

Anyway, when I said that the DAY END would be delaying for Day 9 (the final day...), I should have said the DAY START would be delayed.

Anyone calling me a "fool of a Took" would be quite justified, right now.
