Firstly, and most importantly, I deem, my plan for the Seer to openly declare themself and for the Guardian to protect them. I asked all who found faults to speak, and none did. The plan would have worked. Why would a wolf wantto implement such a plan?

Light accusing? He was in my top three at one point, with Kath and G-G.
I have given reason for the sudden defence above.

Nope, I fully expected to come under heavy fire today, for my choices do seem wolvish, I'll admit. I fully expect to continue to come under fire. Likely I will be spared to the end, such is the evidence that can be accumulated against me. It is foolish to ask of trust here, so I shall not, but I will attempt to defend myself as fully as possible, now and in the future. We cannot afford to lynch an innocent.

As I said, wrong choices in the past meant it would be very easy to look at facts, such as who I wanted to lynch, and use them against me. I knew this would happen (likely started by wolves) and sought to defend myself before it started.

I was the first accuser of Kitanna and G-G, and accused durelin (the death of which seems to be a set up). For a wolf to lead the charge against an innocent once is understandable, twice is utter stupidity.

That's it. Believe what you want. I shall draw my own conclusions too. At the moment, what is clearest and most obvious is the guilt of mormegil.

Thank you.

I hope to see the double plus sign followed by your own name soon.

Anyway. I think he's trying to "pull a Holby," to coin a phrase.

Unsure if it's been done but I will take my own life in my own fashion

I have a sword handy I can cast myself upon.

mormegil · 07-07-2005, 09:49 AM

That's 5 votes for me my fate is sealed.

the guy who be short · 07-07-2005, 09:52 AM

Wonderful.

Morm, whatever you do, it is painstakingly obvious that you are a wolf. Nothing you do will change that. Sorry. I speak for myself, and hopefully for the rest of us, when I say our votes will not be changing, no matter how dramatic a show you put on.

mormegil · 07-07-2005, 09:53 AM

I'm not asking you to change your votes. I am merely going to die on my own terms.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-07-2005, 09:55 AM

In order to save our lovely mod some time (and eyesight) here are the final votes:

5/9 go to Mormegil. Voting for him were: Firefoot, Fea, TGWBS, Holby, and Morm himself.

Your martyrdom is touching, though entirely unbelievable.

Firefoot · 07-07-2005, 10:23 AM

Thus we either seal our doom or postpone it.

The only problem with such a short day is we don't get to hear from about half our villagers - four, to be precise, and the very four which we don't know about. Alas.

TGWBS, your defence is fairly satisfactory. I'll be checking it out closer, but for now I'm satisfied. I don't know if I really think you're a wolf or not, but, like Fea, I'd kick myself to find it was so.

I'm thinking to go after Kath tomorrow.

So is everybody, I presume. What is clear is that we cannot make a single mistake from now to the end, or all is lost.

Kath · 07-07-2005, 10:39 AM

Yet again I come back to find myself under suspicion. I think I might just have to set up some kind of encampment here so I can keep an eye on this.

Earlier I said I would wait for Mormegil's defence and while it is obviously now too late for me to vote I'll just say that I found it shoddy at best. It cast doubt upon our Seer, who may not have revealed herself because she saw that many people were changing their votes from herself to Holby. She left before the votes changed again and so may have thought that it would be safer to stay in the dark and hope that she had left enough hints for us to figure out. Unfortunately we were not quick enough on the uptake and so she died.

Now, as to me. Firefoot says she wants to vote for me and has so far been supported by TGWBS. This worries me as I have been having concerns about TGWBS all day. Firefoot's post ealier (or was it yesterday?) about him possibly playing a double bluff gave me pause for thought. And now today he is going along with her ideas with no reasoning off his own. This strikes me as odd. Perhaps he is trying to put her off his trail? Firefoot seems to me trustworthy, maybe he feels that associating with her will keep suspicion away from him.

If you want a reason as to why I stopped being suspicious of Mormegil it was because he seemed quite so contrite about Gil's death once he realised he was an innocent and then gave him the benefit of the doubt many times after his reincarnation. I realise this has no basis in fact but it threw me off long enough.

Anyway, if it counts:

++Mormegil

I never patronize. Just simplify. And how could you possibly resist reading through? After all... my posts are mixed in there.

Add to my count two more votes for Mormegil given by Kath and Oro.

mormegil · 07-07-2005, 11:54 AM

I hope Nilp/Adam and Gil vote for me so I can get 100% of the vote.

OK Take that as a yellow card - one more strike and you are out.
