TOL-IN-GAURHOTH XII, Erbar Telamarth

[the guy who be short]

I'm pretty sure Firefoot was just killed off for being a known innocent - same as LMP and mormegil. It was just our rotten luck that two of them were gifteds.

People ask why I commited suicide... Well...

Firstly, I worked out that double lynchings would help our chances of winning. Halway through my last Day, I was also suddenly struck by the fact that Boro was completely innocent because of the Sauce comment - I couldn't imagine a wolf ever being so careless.

So, I knew Esty, morm and Boro were innocent. I suspected Enca, Fea and Mr U. If you look at my suicide posts, you'll notice I had made very clear demands pertaining to my death:

Now here's the deal. I'm willing to be double lynched, but toDay is our last Day with mormian input. After that, there are no known innocents.

So, I'm willing to be lynched, on these conditions:

Esty and mormegil are recognised as innocents.

Encaitare is lynched with me.

If Enca is not a wolf, Fea and Boro are lynched next Day, with Esty as the final voter, if she can manage this.

After this, I suddenly realised Boro's innocence thanks to a Mr U post, and swapped the two around:

If Enca is not a wolf, on Day Two, please lynch: Feanor, Mr Underhill. Esty should be the one keeping her vote til the end, as I trust her most out of all of you, minus morm, who would die in the Night.

The way I saw it, the village had nothing to lose as long as it stuck to my plan. By killing myself, people could see I had honest intentions and go along with what I said.

Unfortunately, knuckleheads that you all are, you screwed it up and killed Boro. Though Encai was still my top suspect, I could just see a wolfy Mr U winning the game...

In any case, if the village had listened to me, we'd have won a Day earlier.

In conclusion, I've forgotten the point I was trying to make.

Thank you for listening.

Your certainty at the beginning of Day 2 began to look to me like werewolvery. I was going to be all after you on Day 3. In fact, Mr. U's case against you on - what - Day 5, was precisely what I had been ready to present on Day 3.

I continue to be against multiple lynchings. Here's why: all the mathematical working out you do cannot account for the additional days of discussion rendered by only lynching one victim per Day. The discussions and analysis, and give and take all add up to more chances for a werewolf to slip up or vote in a way that reveals at least suspicion, if not guilt. And as you later pointed out in the post I'm quoting, your conditions were not followed, and therefore your outcome was anything but assured; which of course is completely to be expected in the dynamics of a game like this.

Oh, and I'm against suicides. It's the easy way out, like multiple lynchings. So there's a good reason to keep the cobbler, or at least the suggestion of a cobbler's existence, in the game.
