I'm in favor of all voting if that's the discussion.

However in working out my latest chemistry equations it came to me like lightning, it did. I know who is guilty!

I say Firefoot, Mithalwen and Articstorm are the wolves among us and this alchemist is never wrong...you'll see one day I will turn this metal here into gold.

Now that really is a random accusation ..... !!!! I have warned you about eating strong cheese late at night...... How can I defend myself against that? All I can say is that you have been saying the day when you produce gold will be dawning for years ...and it aint getting any lighter is it? Anyone with any sense knows you have to mine for gold... even dwarves know that ..... but no you think you can turn base metal into it without the effort of actually doing some hard work.

Also I might say it is a nice wolf trick to try and point the finger at someone who has announced she has to go imminently and cannot remain to defend herself. Trying to find an easy target to save yourself are you?

Ah, 'tis too bad that our deare Oddwen hath been taken from us by these foule wolves. I have rolled my die of twenty sides and it hath landed on ye olde 12, ye number of Laitaine. However, trying ye random approache may not be needed here. It seems that ye olde baker, LMP hath indeede voted rather quickly. To me, it appeareth likely that thou art ye Cobbler, LMP, but keepe in minde that even ye Cobbler may not be ye type to be doing something that risky on ye firste Daye.

Mithalwen · 08-13-2005, 01:39 PM

Hmm well if LMP is the cobbler .... well how could he know what would help the wolves with only a few posts on the board? The cobbler isn't privy to any special information is he? He can only make his deductions like the rest of us. It occurs though that his behaviour might be good cover for a Seer. Make it look like a random accusation so you don't have to declare yourself and hope that people join the bandwagon? Just a theory.... I mean the seer is very vulnerable while the Bear live since the Ranger can't protect from the Beorning. I know that it would be flukey that the Seer would strike lucky straight off AND that the person would be foolish enough to behave so conveniently suspiciously (albeit partly IC) but flukes do happen...... The Seer has just over a 50% chance of having identified a significant villager .... and with only 4 (?) villagers left to speak at all, I haven't seen a better indication.

Hey I'm clutching at straws here. I have about 15 minutes to decide.....

Mithalwen · 08-13-2005, 01:41 PM

2nd post due to cross post with Gurthang... I cannot wait.... for all .. I have to go with what we have which isn't a lot....

CaptainofDespair · 08-13-2005, 01:54 PM

Hmm...suspicious.

Gurthang has caused me to raise an eyebrow. I shall ponder him and his thoughts. I doubt he should be worried about at the moment, however. He may be annoying, and an animal rights activist, but he does not appear too guilty, at least not yet. Time will tell.

Though, Durelin has given me a cause for worry, as she has eaten one of my shrews. We will see what part she has to play, if any.

I'd rather not randomly lynch someone, but Gurthang is the only one truly 'on my radar'.

Mithalwen · 08-13-2005, 02:05 PM

I have got to decide now and it isn't easy. I am afraid that I had always thought that if I had to make a random decision I would go for the person who posted first on the principle of "If you can't be fair, be arbitrary" . While I can see the sense in that his behaviour is too obvious, it is also possible that it is a double bluff. It is also possible that LMP is the Seer ( reason for the last minute sub?).
Many others also suspect him so, not having the luxury to wait and fearing personal consequences of not voting...

++ Gurthang

You're wrong. *Shrugs.*

Personally, I'm disinclined to believe that either LMP or Gurthan is guilty. I think our wolves are more likely to either be in the background somewhere or posting fairly frequently but not doing a lot of finger pointing or gathering much attention. Granted, that's just about everybody... but when the time comes to vote I will be looking at people who are posting but not saying much.

I haven't seen anything blaringly suspicious yet. Morm's random list is just that, random, but I'm not overly concerned. I'd like to hear from those who haven't posted yet, as well.

Gurthang · 08-13-2005, 01:33 PM

My, my, my. It seems I've earned a lot of suspicion because of my occupation. Many of you are pointing to my statement about wanting a peaceful end to this situation as being suspicious. I even heard a few comments about me supporting the wolves.

I must say, I am rather offended about that.

When I said I would like a peaceful end, I did not really have much hope that that would be possible, and I said as much. And I am certainly not supporting their deed. It was wrong, and justice should be served, but I was also saying that during the course of justice, we must not act rashly.

I also notice that LMP has earned some suspicion because of his vote for me. I am not in suspicion of him. And seeing as he hinted that he will probably not post again, I can see the reason behind his early vote.

Hmm. I hadn't thought of that.

I also want to point out that we have not heard from CaptainofDespair, Lalaith, Laitaine, Nonnacedak, Gil-Galad, or Wilwa yet. I agree that waiting until all have spoken is a good idea.

Nonnacedak · 08-13-2005, 02:01 PM

Ah the day had been great and full of large trout before I had heard of the death of poor Oddwen... I must confess that I will be looking over my shoulder much more often now when I wander off to the lake by my lonesome. After hearing the cases of almost everyone in the village I honestly dont know who is guilty or innocent. I am surrounded by liars and I am but a humble trout fisherman. Mormegil's accusations seem completely baseless. If it came down to it with the evidence I have at the present I would choose that animal loving freak named Gurthang! I must hear from the few villagers left who have thus far been silent to make a final decision. Us innocents must filter through the lies to save our poor village! I await the silent!
