I'm feeling somewhat rejected and despondent because nobody wants to take my suggestion.

I say we kill Gil and then SpM.

Did you not get the sense of irony that the sentence exactly mirrored Sauce's. You people just don't get me.

I was kidding.

Well, with Garin's vote, that now looks to be back on the table.

Current votes:

Garin - 3 (Glirdan, Gil-Galad and Nilp)
Gil-Galad - 2 (mormegil and Garin)

Spawn, why don't you vote for Gil-Galad and I will then wrestle with my conscience over whether to play it safe and withold my vote, or save a probably inocent Gil by voting for Garin?

One question. Are we sure that one villager and the Cobbler remaining at the end of all things is a village victory?

That's fine with me. Happy wrestling then.

Why wouldn't it be? I mean, Menel didn't say this in his rules, but in every other village the wolves win if there are as many villagers as wolves in the end, and the villagers win if they kill all of the wolves.

Sorry, Spawn I tend to be blind to smilies. I'm glad I didn't call you a name.
EDIT: errant apostrophe

Actually, I had more or less made up my mind already. Your pointing out that a double lynch would inevitably result in a villager victory and then voting for Gil pretty much cleared up any doubts that I harboured about you. So, by my reckoning, a double lynch should end this nightmare tonight. And I would rather that outcome than another day, both because there is little intrigue left and because I would prefer to live.

Sorry Gil if (as I suspect) you are innocent. It's odds on that Garin's the Wolf, but there is still an outside chance that you were bluffing us.

So I will not be voting today.

Hopefully, that will wrap things up and we can get back to village life, albeit on a much smaller scale. Oh, and perhaps we can find some therapy for morm and rehabilitate him back into polite society.

The villagers led Gil-Galad and Garin to the gallows. Two would die that Day.

"Notice the right angles formed by the boards here?" And the right triangle up here?" Gil pointed out. "These shapes are clearly gasp...choke...gaggggg..."

He hadn't transformed at all. The villagers turned to Garin.

"This way, Wolf," The Saucepan Man ordered.

"I'm no wolf," Garin firmly replied. "You're falsely accusing me."

As if on cue, his pigs rushed to his defense and leaped upon Saucepan and dancing spawn, while mormegil pulled out an elvish dagger and threatened Nilpaurion Felagund.

Glirdan, however, appeared on the scene. He shot the pigs wih his hunting arrows, allowing Saucepan and spawn to rush morm.

Turning to Garin, however, the surviving villagers noticed that during the fight, Garin had sprouted fur and fangs. The wolf charged at them.

However, he ran right off a cliff and landed on the rocky shore far below.

The last wolf was dead, and the village saved. Everyone cheered... except for mormegil, who had been a Cobbler in his spare time and had wanted so much for the wolves to eat everyone.

Living:
mormegil (Cobbler)- Elven smith
Nilpaurion Felagund (Ordinary Villager)- Escaped thrall from Tol-in-Gaurhoth
dancing spawn of ungoliant (Ordinary Villager)- Florist
The Saucepan Man (Ordinary Villager)- Earnest and learned young man of the law
Glirdan (Hunter)- Crazy guy down the street

Dead:
Meneltarmacil (Moderator): Speared by wolves on Night 1
AbercrombieOfRohan (Ordinary Villager): Treed and crushed by villagers on Day 1
Aiwendil (Ordinary Villager): Crushed by a tree chopped down by the werewolves onto his house on Night 2
Shelob (Ordinary Villager): Hung by villagers on Day 2
Valier (Ordinary Villager): Coconutted by wolves on Night 3
WaynetheGoblin (Ordinary Villager): Hung on a +9 Rope of Lynching by villagers on Day 3
Cailín (Ranger): Drowned by wolves on Night 4
Naria (Werewolf): Fought to death by villagers and pigs on Day 4
Márcolië Lamen (Ordinary Villager): Cooked into spaghetti and eaten by wolves on Night 5
the guy who be short (Werewolf): Became the wolf who be lynched by villagers on Day 5
malkatoj (Seer): Blown up by wolf on Night 6
Kath (Ordinary Villager): Almost Monty Pythoned, but impatiently hung by villagers on Day 6
Formendacil (Ordinary Villager): Crushed by falling books due to wolf on Night 7
Gil-Galad (Ordinary Villager): Lynched by villagers on Day 7
Garin (Werewolf): Driven off cliff by villagers on Day 7

Wolves: 0
Villagers: 5

Villagers Win!

I'm absolutely delighted that I was able to kill one last innocent before my demise. After the death of The Guy I was crushed. You see, I had been more than happy to follow his voting decisions until the last day. HE THOUGHT MALKATOJ WAS THE SEER AND WANTED HER GONE. If I had listened to him, the werewolves would've won.
How miserable I was after that. Instead, I was convinced Marcolie was the seer.
The village owes its life to Malkatoj and her 'coming out.'
I was trying to control myself in the beginning because I act perennially lupine but that cast more suspicion on me. I reverted to being myself and it doomed me and my pack.
I figured that my audacity would keep me around for awhile, long enough to keep the other wolves safe. Once I was on my own, i couldn't change my behavior, as damning as it was.
My decision not to kill Sauce was kind of rebellious because I don't like being told who to kill.
Plus, Form made me mad because I thought he was the cobbler and I think my personal exchange with him was the lynch pin in my demise.
Before that many of the vocal ones started to think I was innocent. So, I regret nothing.
Anyways, congratulations you decimated villagers.
I never expected to live so long. Thanks for killing Gil too. If I had known how inept he was I would've killed Sauce.
Thanks to Naria, TGBWS and Morm. Next time the innocent won't be so lucky.
EDIT: It was kind of fun and challenging to keep Sauce around, he should feel indebted to me for letting him last.
