Oromin just cannot be an ordinary villager. No ordo would do what she's doing. She's either the cobbler or a wolf and should be gotten rid of swiftly. Before The Elf-Warrior, in my opinion, though I'd be glad to see him go, um......three days from now?

1- Kitanna

2- Oromin

3- Elf-Warrior

Yes, that's my list. Followed by Lhuna and maybe wilwa. But those two I am prepared to grant more time.

Wilwarin, I declare, is innocent. The wolves killed Feanor for picking Wilwa as an innocent in such a Seerish way, rather than for picking a wolf (though perhaps she did manage to name one or two; she named so many people that it's not unlikely).

Of course, there could be a little reverse psychology going on, with Wilwa as a wolf, but I like my theory enough to stick to it.

Wilwarin--I'm not as convinced of her innocence as was Fea. A bold wolf could kill somebody that thought her innocent and hope that somebody, another wolf perhaps, points out that no wolf would do that. This would implicate a TGWBS/Wilwarin team. Unless, of course, TGWBS is the victim of her ploy which I don't think is the case. I may vote her too.

It looks to me like this is what started the suspision on me. It all started because Fea thought me innocent. I find that ironic.

[mormegil]

The problem with TGWBS and Fea saying your innocent especially Fea is that they really didn't know much of anything. Now if Fea had been the seer than you would be exonerated completely. It is a good thing that others found you innocent but being as they were not gifted it's not as convincing as you would hope. I think what has happened Wilwarin is that the first day most of us found you innocent but our opinion has been shifting steadily towards you. You will have another day or two to show your innocence...make it worthwhile.

Remember that TORE will not be around much today if at all so we cannot expect his vote, which is unfortunate because I think he is truly innocent.

Let's not do any mass lynchings. Take 'em one at a time. There's still enough of us.... if we get lucky and lynch three in a row, which it's beginning to look like we have a chance of doing, from my point of view.

Encaitare's post # 246 makes me think she's either the seer or a shirriff. More likely a shirriff. The sooner we have a good idea of who the shirriffs are, the better off the village is. If Enca is a shirriff, then Wilwa is the other. In which case it could be that Kitanna, Elf Warrior, and Oromin are the werewolves.

I'm quite convinced of the innocence of the following: Morm, Eomer, Kath, Estel, Spawn.

I'm thinking that if Encai is a shirriff, and Orom a werewolf, then Lhuna is the cobbler.

Elf Warrior, you're wrong. Kath's plan is at least as good as mine. And you're a werewolf. And since you're accusing Kath, I'm even more sure that she's innocent.

If Oromin has an extended absence, the Moddessgoddess will arrange her death anyway, and we don't have to worry about her.

But now Lhuna is acting very wolvish today (or cobblerish), especially if she's accusing Eomer.

Okay, now Saurreg is saying stuff that casts doubt where it doesn't belong. That, my friends, is wolvish behavior. If he's a werewolf, he's been doing a great job of hiding behind his sheep. Talk about a disguise!

Let it be said once and for all that voting for Kitanna today is not bandwagoning, but a serious and level-headed attempt to actually get rid of a werewolf.

So currently, my top suspects in order are:
Kitanna
Elf-Warrior
At a secondary level I'm not sure between:
Saurreg
Lhuna
Oromin

But as I said, if Oromin can't post, let the moddessgoddess arrange her death. Don't waste a lynching vote on her.

++ Kitanna

My computer's still broke, and I'm spending my allotted hour in the public library. This is it for me until Monday.

Edit: final thoughts: I still don't trust Elf-Warrior. If Kitanna turns out to be innocent (which would really, really surprise me), then we need to take a really careful look at Elf Warrior and Saurreg. If Oromin is actually a wolf, then Lhuna is the cobbler. If Oromin is not a wolf, she's the cobbler. Either way, don't worry about Oromin if she's extendedly absent.

[Saurreg]

Me griff for dah Spawn. Dah lass was aft' all dah only soul who looked kindly upon me suggestion.

D'ish ol' foggy's detectin' a pattern 'ere; 'evry rround somebody's gotta accuse 'im of something. Und arn't it a surprise dat it's LMP's turn?

Wulvisf beha'vor eh? Prray tell den mah good man, wot 'rre yer talking about? Is dat due to dah mass lynchin' or dat me be sus'pis of yer plan to hand decsion-makin' to one person?

Mass kynching works cuz we haf a prretty good size population und lotsa suspects but too lit' time. It's kindah like a net wif a big scoop - we're bound to catch a wulf as long as dah kandidates were well chosen. Leader thingy is a tasd too risky und sus'pis. once morre me question dah purpose inhaving someone trry to sway und kontral the others' decision. One 'ery good way of detecting a fury wulf is dat 'e or seeh would trry und sway opinion und dah alert ones be able to catch 'im in dah act. Now adding dah leader thing in, it's like... like throwing dah hounds off dah scent cuzing distraction und such, konfusion even!

Now why we would wanna do a thing. We've got ou' fair share of sabotahin' loonies und 'eir appreticees. Me no think stirring dah pot more would solve dah prob.

Mayhaps we should all look closely at dah star gai'zar und question dah reason behind 'is idea.

As of now me think dat ++wilwarin is still me greatest suspect. She didna retort to me nor others' accusions yes'day. Throw in dah Elf-warrior und we could haf a double lynch today.

No double lynchings. We don't want to bring the wrath of the ModdessGoddess down on us.

Mormegil, you may have a point on Oro, but I'm not 100% sure of Elf-Warrior's guilt either. Right now I am suspicious of Lhuna, Wilwa, lmp, Oro, E-W, & a little suspicious of Enca & Saurreg.

Posted Lhuna on her suspicions of Eomer:

My, my. I give you a new perspective on the game and what I get in return is your suspicion. How ironic is that...Your behaviour indeed has not been wolvish - nobody has ever suspected you so far, except for this Lhunatic character

I do not suspect you soley because you accused Eomer. I had already thought of the points that you brought out & considered them but I didn't think they stood up to any sort of scrutiny in my opinion. I don't think that we should lynch a smart innocent just because he appears to be...well, innocent.

Eomer of course could be a wolf. Then again, so could I, so could morm, so could you. But innocent behavior alone is not grounds for lynching to me, so I was somewhat suspicious of you accusing Eomer on those grounds alone.

edit: Wow, this usually talkative village (the most posted in ‘village’ already that I know of) has grown strangely quiet this DAY. I thought I wouldn’t be able to post at all, but it ends up I’ve accounted for a third of the posting.

[Encaitare]

I would ask that our seer either dream of Wilwarin or Oromin if they haven't. If they have been dreampt of I suggest either Encai or Kath or possibly Lhuna though I'm not as suspicious of Kath and Lhuna, encai is still high on my list and the other two round out the top.

And I still don't understand why you suspect me, morm. But go on, dream of me if you like, Seer. I've nothing to hide.

OOC: I just found out that we're heading for our summer cabin for two RL days which means that I might miss the whole Day4. There's a slight chance that I might be back to slip my vote in before Night5 but you shouldn't count on that.

[wilwarin538]

Im heading to work now so I'll have to vote now.

++Kitanna

You most definetly wont hear from me again toDay.

[Encaitare]

++Kitanna

[Firefoot]

Okay, a more-than majority has been reached for Kitanna's lynching, and I will be heading out for the afternoon here shortly. If you have any last minute comments to make, please make them quickly; I will probably be posting Kitanna's death a little early.

[The Only Real Estel]

*Shakes cobwebs from brain*

Well, I'm back & I see a lot has been decided. Here are my thoughts on some of this:

Oromin: Wow. I doubt she is an innocent villager because going through the guise that she's going through would only confuse us, something no innocent should want. But if she is the cobbler than she is likely lieing about both wolves, there would be no reason for a cobbler to indicate who she/he really thinks are the wolves. I will vote Kitanna this round (I apoligize for the lateness of the vote, but it could not be helped, of course), but probably Oromin next round. While I think it would be a time-saver to have Moddessgodess make up a death for Oro instead of us having to lynch her I'm not sure that that will happen.

Leader Plan/Trials: I would obviously not be a big fan of the leader plan now that we seem to have three days worth of people lined up to lynch; although I appreciate the fact that morm would think me able enough for such a role if it weren't for my being so busy of late. Perhaps if we reach Monday & somehow the wolves are still among us we should revisit this idea? The trial plan seems like an unneeded addition to the game - there's nothing wrong with it, but I think we can accomplish the same thing without wasting half a day trying to organize the courtroom.

Kitanna: I have been suspicious of for quite some time, although I was beginning to waver a bit before this day. As for Elf-Warrior & Wilwa, I'm not quite sure. They will take more thinking about on my part. As I said, I would rather lynch Oro tommorrow instead of forcing her to drop out of the, er...village, because it seems like forcing her out would be undermining the, er...village.

Lhuna: Still not quite sure what to make of her. She accuses Eomer who I am probably the least worried about.

As I said, I will vote ++ Kitanna, but I hope to voice a few more opinions before Day has ended.

[Lhunardawen]

My, my. I give you a new perspective on the game and what I get in return is your suspicion. How ironic is that.

Then again, stupid me forgot that that is how this whole thing really goes.

My pleasure, dear.

You ask why a wolf-Eomer would kill Fea and attack lmp, the former wanting to keep you alive and the latter fairly certain of your innocence? To detract attention, that is why. Your behaviour indeed has not been wolvish - nobody has ever suspected you so far, except for this Lhunatic character. I am well aware that you are smart, and so as a werewolf you can play the game in the best possible way: without any suspicion being directed at you for failing to show any lycanthropic trait.

I know that this pathetic attempt of mine to let the villagers see you in a new light will not make you think I am any less suspicious. Indeed I know that it could possibly, in some way, cause me my dearly-held life. But I am willing to take such a gamble.

From what I have seen during this Day, it seems to me that we could successfully lynch our first werewolf. The connection between Kitanna and The Elf-warrior seems to make very good sense, too - so The Elf-warrior could be our next lynchee ceteris paribus. But I think wilwa could just be a confused innocent. As for Oromin, we probably need not bother about lynching her and just let the Moddess Goddess do her thing.

++KITANNA

On a final note, this could very possibly be the last time I will make sensible statements, for I fear that in the next Days my Lhunacy will get the better of me. You should have sought professional help for me as mormegil suggested. But then again, this could be my last post in the game.

[Lhunardawen]

I just could not resist...

Of course, it could have been genuine regret.
