Game thread - Werewolf C - The Father Christmas Murders

[Coppermirror]

I'm unsure what tactic we ought to take. I'm adoring the fun banter on this Day, but that won't help us to catch the villains. Then again, setting up some sort of scheme that would soon be discarded might be a waste of time too, unless someone has a really good suggestion and it can be implemented quickly.

I know! We must let the joy of Christmas fill our hearts. The fiends we are facing have tightly wound hearts which hate Christmas, like that miser Scrooge. When they speak of their love of the season, they may betray themselves inadvertently.

I'm but a harmless Ghost who likes to spread good cheer.

This is my third game. I'd read a lot of old games (starting from the oldest games, in order) as a hobby of mine before signing up for my first game, so I sounded a lot better informed than the average newbie Werewolf player, and a few people got suspicious about whether I could be someone who'd played before under a new name or somebody who had experience with the game elsewhere. But, that really was my first game of Werewolf or anything like it. I made plenty of newbie mistakes in my first game, but they just weren't the type of newbie mistakes people were most used to. Being informed about theory doesn''t make up for lack of experience.

I'm around, relatively, but there just hasn't really been anything that's caught my eye enough to mention. I'm going to go eat, then have another read - it's all been pretty quiet, thus far. Legate seems to be the only person really discussing much.

Going totally by my gut, I suspect Legate Claus. Nothing happens in this town without the Big Man knowing about it.

Last I checked, reindeer and wolves were mortal enemies. Which means Boro's probably on the level. Unless he sold us out in exchange for safe passage.

CM I have no experience with, so I'm going to leave him be for now.

Shasta, like myself, has a history of saying much less than he thinks. His instincts are usually pretty correct unless something changed massively in the past year or so I've been away.

G55 and Boro have been first to the analysis of posts. But it's early yet, and for Day1 things aren't going too badly.

Singing a slaying song, is he?

Man, I need to try for once getting all my Christmas stuff done sooner. My brief skims of this haven't led to much thus far, but we've still got some time.

Sounds like a guilty conscience to me.

Well, I could speak it that way quite convincingly...the Dixie part, that is.

Message! Banter! Message! Banter!...

I've looked into the matter. However, I don't think speculation of any real meaning would be useful at this point, and it could be damaging, at least to those in the Christmas spirit...
