For the good of the village, and since TGWBS's plan is good (as good as any) and since we don't know if Oro will be able to vote and since I don't know if Kittana is gifted or not, I only know about me.

--KITTANA
++HOLBYTLASS

I am allowed to commit suicide. Goodluck, think better of me

--Holbytlass!!!

Due to something that I've only just realized, I cannot in good conscience kill Holbytlass. She slipped something earlier that caught my attention, but I had assumed it was a wolf bluff.

Quote:

I put forth my idea of werewolf hunting

or something to that effect. Now that she is willing to kill herself, either she is a wolf who is trying to secure a random lynching, or she is the Huntress, and she has a target. I am leaning towards the idea that she is Huntress, and we cannot afford to kill a gifted villager when the ratio of wolves to villagers is so slim. Most especially when we cannot be sure of the Huntress's target. It would be absolutely disastrous if two innocents were accidentally slain because of my faulty evidence. I hesitated to post my reasoning for changing my vote, because I am afraid of what the wolves will now do, but given what she has so publicly done (voted for herself), I am sure I am not the only one who just swore colorfully.

I have to change my vote and go with the crowd on this: ++Kitanna. I would vote my true suspicion, Mormegil, but I am terrified to see the result of a tied vote, most especially between three people, where I highly suspect that one takes out someone with her.

I think we can now be fairly certain that Holbytlass is innocent - we were about to lynch Kitanna, and if Holbytlass were a wolf, I think it would be likely that Kitanna would be innocent because why would a wolf sacrifice herself? If Kitanna were innocent, a wolf wouldn't do that anyway, and if Kitanna were a wolf we would know that, too.

We have:

1 Guardian
1 Hunter
1 Seer
4 Wolves
4 Ordinary Villagers

The two we really need to protect here are the Guardian and Seer; we have twice as good a shot of killing a werewolf than one of them. The hunter would kill one other person anyway.

I do not see that it is at all in our interest to lynch an innocent villager at this point. Holbytlass could be a wolf living on the edge, but I highly doubt it. Hence, --Holbytlass, ++Kitanna.

(I don't see anything that says I can't change my vote twice.

)

Edit: I see Fea has gone the same way I have...

Edit II: Kitanna now has 6 votes - there's no turning back now...
