Werewolf XLVI: Getting Back to Basics

[Meneltarmacil]

Waking up that morning, the villagers expected the worst.

However, when they examined their numbers, they met with a pleasant surprise.

Nobody was dead. Everyone was still standing.

Alive:
Kath
Mithalwen
Oddwen
The Elf-warrior

Dead:
Meneltarmacil (Moderator): Crushed under falling cow by Wolves on Night 1.
Lhunardawen (Seer): Hung by villagers on Day 1.
Aganzir (Ordinary Villager): Made into shoes by Wolves on Night 2.
Gwathagor (Werewolf): Objections aside, hung by villagers on Day 2.
Volo (Ordinary Villager): Turned into a hunting trophy by Wolves on Night 3.
Nogrod (Werewolf): Killed with thrown ale barrels by villagers on Day 3.
Thinlomien (Ordinary Villager): Impaled on a hat rack by Wolves on Night 4.
satansaloser2005 (Ordinary Villager): Failed to cure the mass paranoia and hung by villagers on Day 4.
Nerwen (Ordinary Villager): Eaten by Wolves on Night 5.
Legate of Amon Lanc (Ordinary Villager): Skeletonized by angry frogs on Day 5.

Day 6 has dawned.

So ... do we have a Ranger or a forgetful wolf? If the former then fantastic and let us say no more about it in the hope we keep them safe. If the latter ... I think only the Elf Warrior really fits there. That sounds harsh I know but we haven't seen a great deal from him and he did only appear at the last minute yesterDay. Then again, so did I.

I actually think the Ranger explanation more likely. Three wolves, Seer, Ranger. Just like an old time game.

Even if I was a wolf, I'm wasn't a forgetful wolf. I was on the Internet for a long while after the deadline, so I had plenty of opportunity to PM a victim to Menel. But I could still be a thwarted wolf, but I'm not.

Despite our good fortune, we innocents are in grave imminent danger. If we lynch an innocent (such as me) and the wolf kills an ordo then we will be left with two people, one wolf and one innocent, and the wolf will have triumphed. The only exceptions to this grim scenario are if the ranger protects the wolf's target or the wolf kills the hunter and the hunter kills the wolf. So think carefully. (That also applies to me. Poor Legate.) I'm going through the posts of our remaining villagers, so I'll probably have more to say later.

Well the Elf Warrior may have just played a very clever move but I'm finding that post is making me trust him. I wasn't keen on the constant assertion of innocence but then I did just lambast him.

Which leaves me with Mith and Oddwen. I've thought Mith has been playing ... as though she's a little distant. But what she has not been is very defensive or panicky, which is what I associate with her if she's a wolf. Sure, she could have learnt to fool me, but I'm going to have to hope not!

Which leaves me with Oddwen. I simply haven't played with Oddwen enough to know what her usual style is. The only thing that has occurred to me is that she has been playing very sensibly. What little I do recall tells me she's usually more of a Nilp-type player, so the mere fact that we've had analysis and sensible posts makes me wonder.

Of course, considering I was so hopelessly wrong about Legate it's probably a good idea to ignore everything I'm saying. But EW is right, we're running out of time.

Ooooooo...what a thing to say about your own father...

EW's post above is just funky. His post, let me quote it.

...? "I'm not a wolf, if I were a wolf I'd be a competent one, nobody thwarts me"?

Blimey this is a suprise .. . I think there has been one missed kill before. A ranger is not imossible though I am suprised that neither Lommie or Nerwen were protected before ... they seemed the most innocent. However at least we can discount a cursed or we wouldn't be here.

I need ot refresh my memory but I recall thinking Kath most innocent - though with darling duckie... I could never be 100 %

So my choice will probably be between Elf and Oddie....

Now given the circumstances I wonder if it is significant that noone has claimed Rangerdom. Not at all sure. And I am not asking. Not sure we would trust such a claim now.
