WWJ II: Welcome to Lower Tadfield. The Apocalypse has Now Begun. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I hoped it would never happen in Lower Tadfield. Other places, other villages have been attacked but we have so far been spared.

Let us learn from those who have fought wolves before us. Although we do indeed face the unsettling task of weeding out the culprits, we must never forget that peace may come at the expense of the lives of some of our innocent villagers.

Today, especially, we must be strong in the face of uncertainty. I urge everyone to watch, to wait, and above all to refrain from accusing the innocent.

I feel I should point out that this will not really work. We have to speak up, or else we will never figure anything out. And about the accusing, judging reactions is a big thing. If you accuse someone, you may be able to tell a lot about them by how they respond.

Basically, let the accusations and defenses fly!

But of course, Gurthang! I said that we should refrain from accusing the innocent. But I also know that whomever I accuse is sure to be guilty, so no worries there.

well, i've only played two games, and lost both, so i think i hardly deserve "expertise" status, but yes i will do all im my powers to kill our tormentors.

Oh goodness! Two villagers in one night. This is grim indeed. I perhaps need to start cataloging pointy things so we can protect our beloved village from future tragedies. Either that, or blame somebody.

Hmm...no one is suspecious yet. The first day is always very random and baseless, and most of the evidence against people builds from there. Herm, I suppose I slighty suspect Marcolie, just because DEATH is kinda scary, or perhaps Glirdan, just because. I don't think we should build the Lynch Wayne bandwagon just yet. Hmm. I must to class, but I check on the thread later.

As long as the pointy things are not claws or fangs/teeth I'm all for it. As for blaming somebody.....blame?....accuse would be a better word, no? Anyway as long as we don't throw it around randomly and think it over logically I daresay we'll be heading in the right direction. At the moment I don't really find anybody suspicious, I mean its just the first day so nothings clear. I daresay we'll have a clearer view of things tomorrow. With any luck we'll be able to take care of things before they get too messy.

Does Eonwe's demand for explanations strike anyone else as suspicious?

Is she (he?) attempting to prevent villagers from speaking up by requiring a standard of evidence that is impossible to attain, especially on the first day? A good tactic for a wolf--convincing others to be silent with their suspicions, then preying on an uncertain populace with trumped-up "evidence" when the time is ripe.

I admit that in the first shock of this terrible tragedy, I gave some unwise advice: I believe I advised you all to "watch and wait." This was a mistake, and I hope that I have not cost this village valuable hours.

At the moment, Eonwe is my chief suspect.

Also, I would like to hear more from DEATH. Having been so near to hand at the recent tragedy, certainly she has some observations, suspicions, or inklings to share with us.
