Two votes for lynching someone not even in the game? That's got to be some kind of record for WW, but of course thoroughly in keeping with randomised game.

I'm quite surprised, though, to see phantom join the ranks of those who try to draw Bb into WW. I wouldn't have expected him to bother. And I see Spm keeps referring to my intrusion on the game thread. So I'm toying with ideas on how to reply.

Should I begin a WW analysis like I see you all doing on the game thread?

Let's see; shall I try Esty's balliwick of compliment and praise? "Oh, Phantom, I'm thrilled! It is a great pleasure to bask in the glow of your august regard." Naw, I see where that kind of thing has got Esty toDay (see, I've even learnt WW spelling now)--posting madly to prove her innocence and thereby increasing her visibility. Or should I delete this and maintain a low profile, like Kath? Or do I go for loud bluster like Ang--he who first fingered the wolf yesterDay (I think)? 'Oh what ho and tally ho and bob's your parrot?" Oops, no, alas and alack I fall into Python mode. Like Di, shall I too point out my complete innocence--after all, I've never played a game and so I am-insert applicable latin tag here to impress the loyer and Ang--an innocent. But I inadvertently posted on the game and drew all this attention to myself. *gasp* does that make me a wolf? Should I channel all my energies into a Roa-like analysis of my three fleeting posts? What? and risk discovering what a bore it is to reread some of my stuff?

Honestly, don't you guys have any RL things to do? I'm even beginning to imagine a SpM speaking before the Judge in WW mode--and worse yet, to imagine that staid British judge, complete with his silly wig, answering him, as a wolf.

Must grab ahold of myself before this goes any farther....

This leapt out at me from the narration of our gravedigger’s death. Not sure if it means anything, but if there are clues to be found they may be here. Any red-haired men present?
Why the sound of rolling dice? Wasn't the Evil Moddess going to roll dice if the wolves picked different people or if the villages produced a tie? And with just one wolf, there shouldn't be any dice? And why does Spm raise this point but not answer it?

I think I'm missing sumthin.

Ok, apology time, and I'll reiterate it in the other thread later. I didn't post yesterday due to an extremely long and complicated train journey that should have taken 3 hours at most and took close on 6. I hopped on here quickly intending to post, but was then distracted by Children in Need. Meant to come back around halfway through when they start repeating everything but just completely forgot.

I know, I'm being completely useless this game. If I don't turn up tomorrow lynch me, it'll serve me right and might teach me a lesson for future games.
