The post in which you defended Wilwarin was enough for me, although it maybe should not have been. You see, I had already decided that Kitanna and Elf Warrior were werewolves, and that you were neither a werewolf nor the seer. So you couldn't be defending a fellow werewolf, not being one, therefore you had to be a shirriff, and Wilwarin the other. It was nice to have you two as "known innocents", if only to my own reasoning, because that decreased the number of suspects .... which was exactly when I started getting really suspicious of Eomer & Estel; and you know the rest of the story.

Maybe it's right that the werewolves can't have the initiative taken away from them by something as structurally built in as a pair of shirriffs. I'm not sure. The way I see it, the village came awfully close to winning this game - which is part of what made it all that more enjoyable and exciting. And to think I played the entire game without my home computer having internet access! I would have posted more, but that might have gotten me into more trouble with fellow villagers for all I know. As it was, I was forced to think more and yack less.
