I, fortunately, do. Only Huntership and Cursedness are outside my ken of personal experience.

Many years ago-in the first recorded attack by werewolves on a village-my great-great-great-many-greats uncle, Sir Anguirel the Dastard, was, to our family's never-expiated shame, exposed as a wolf.

In a desperate attempt to atone for his uncle's crime, the Dastard's nephew, my great-great-many-greats-grand-father, swore upon his sword to protect the villagers of the land. He was slain fighting wolves soon afterwards disguised as a local blacksmith.

Our family's moment of glory came when the son of a junior line, Master Anguirel the Just, an itinerant justice, saved the fourth village to fall victim to a wolvish invasion, though he sacrificed his life for the cause. To this day the Anguirelli pray for his soul at our private chapel.

Much later, an illegitimate son of Lord Anguirel X, Anguirel "Wolfcloak", who had become a notoriously scurrilous bandit, fought 'gainst wolves at Tinseltown and though his efforts were vain, we still honour him as the bravest of our clan.

At Erbar Telemarth itself Sir Anguirel the Fair was foully lynched by the votes of wolves, but before he died he left his sword to a Hunter who quickly avenged his death with the enchanted blade. (The sword hangs on my mantelpiece to this day.)

At Shamville, a cousin of the hero Wolfcloak, a lowly jester, witnessed the horrors of that place of torture and helped drag it to its ruin, for though a villager he was as foolish as his profession suggests.

Rumour even has it that one member of our family, a bard, long ago infiltrated Tol-in-Gaurhoth itself, and brought back a strange story of wolves fighting among themselves.

I am the last of my line. And I do not intend to quail or surrender, young though I may be.

(ahem)

Enough of family history. The narration means nothing. tar need not necessarily have dreamed of Fea.

And as for your night-time safety, lady Valesse-you're a wolf. Feel better?

Much better. Thank you.
You have a very noble family... lets hope associating with a carnie like myself doesn't affect your honor negatively.

Also, whoever saw that Wayne and Gandalf seem to vote antagonistically had a good point, and with one newbie and one Wayne that could indeed point to wolvishness.
It is a quiet tactic... and since neither are here to post often we can't question why they feel the other is a wolf. Its hard to catch them when the length of their time with us is so brief.

Whoever sees them post next ought to make a point to bring this up... even if it is tomorrow (in game). (I'll try to wake up early enough the next couple of days. I feel as if I am coming down with something, however, but that also means that I will not be going to school.)

=Edit= Also: My vote remains as it was yesterday and early this morning.

Nonsense. I am sworn to help and succour all damoiselles and maidens.

Trust me, I enjoy it...

I think I'm having premonitions...

This is the strangest thing in the world. I have to explain to you now, and I have very little time. (Most of you probably won't believe me at all, but I don't know what else to do, because Glirdan hasn't PMed me back.)

So, last night at around 11:30 EST, Glirdan posted on this thread saying that voting was closed and he would be putting up the death scene for Garin. I responded on the Tol-In-Gaurhoth Junior thread saying that we hadn't had enough time and many people hadn't voted. Apparently, he saw this after he'd already posted the death for Garin and has since deleted it. I swear to you I'm not crazy. The post was there and so now, I know Garin's role. Can I admit it?

GLIRDAN AND GIL-GALAD I'D LIKE YOU TO POSTPONE THE DEATH SCENE UNTIL SOMEONE GIVES ME AN ANSWER ABOUT WHAT I DO IN THIS SITUATION.

I know I must sound out of my mind, but I can quote to you his death scene and everything. I have no idea what this situation calls for. Sorry, everyone.

INTERESTING
So you know the truth, I went to bed after Glirdan said a post was forthcoming. This is an intriguing dilemna for the villagers and the mods, use it wisely.

Oh Lord. What a...balls-up.

Just...keep quiet. I'm afraid that's the only advice I can offer. You'd better stay silent today-no one will think worse of you for it. Unless someone thinks of a better idea...

Oh well I think Garin is doomed anyway .... I personally have not been convinced by his protestations but hey noone in my family has spotted a werewolf since my many times great grannie helped lynch Anguirel's dastardly Uncle and one of his fellows before falling victim to the last.......


However this rather suggests you are innocent..

My vote seems irrelevant other than as a fishing trip .. but whom... Wayne bears looking at.. I am still more or less persuaded by Kath.. Valier and Valesse don't have a clue... get muddled!!

Oh yes, it's pretty clear from his own gloating reaction he's innocent. But that's exactly why we still have to lynch him. Otherwise we're...cheating...sort of thing...because we know, had we not been given this information, we would have undoubtedly lynched him.

This is where retractable votes become a nightmare. People can now pretend to have "second thoughts"...

Meaning you know me to be innocent Mithalwen?
I said I will no longer post and that my vote stands but due to Aber's honesty, I once again change my mind.....
