People who point fingers usually have something to hide. Period. Now, showing how other's are shady could be an attempt to throw people off your own trail. That is shady in of itself. Perhaps it's you that has an angle to work, eh? *rinses them off*

[Lhunardawen]

I guess it's my fault for letting myself be inflicted with this terrible timezones...

Very well. This is probably not the right thing to do - but really, who knows what is the right thing to do on the first Day? But since he proferred himself...

++NILPAURION FELAGUND

A reluctant bye-bye, all. Please try not to give the wolves too much entertainment.

Kind of quick on the trigger, aren't you? You didn't seem to think very hard on it. We are talking about men and women's lives here. Or maybe that doesn't mean anything to you...for some unknown reason...werewolf.

[Meneltarmacil]

Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha! Yes, I expected that, Nilp.

What is very interesting is Lhunardawen's vote for Nilp. Timezones or no timezones, *heh heh* whatever those are, that looks a little suspicious to me.

[Kath]

I see Nilp has made himself known. And it looks like we've heard from everyone except TGWBS now, I wonder where he's disappeared off too, resting from his eventful Night perhaps?

And 4 votes already:
Menel (Zali)
Garin (Alcarillo)
Nilp (Nilp and Lhuna)

And now master Kuru it appears I am not the only one 'probing' about the Seer, Gurthang has appeared with what I feel is quite a good idea. If the Seer knows about a wolf and has the chance to reveal it to us, without fear that the village would be left Seerless as the Apprentice can later take over and really without fear of death because the Ranger can protect two nights in a row it seems foolproof. But then, there is always some mightily clever person who gets round these foolproof plans, and if that person is a wolf then we have a problem.

The problem I'm having right now is that everyone looks innocent. I mean there are occupations and role related comments, but nothing that screams 'I'm a wolf!'. Even Nilp, who has offered himself up for lynching hasn't claimed to be a wolf, though with him that could be a suspicious move, so voting for him doesn't mean we're voting for a self-proclaimed wolf.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I hoped I should never say this, but I agree with Gurthang.

If the seer gets a wolf and we lock it in a cage, then we have a source that can tell the new seer who's who. If he does not tell then we risk him/her beeing killed by a mistake and that would leave us without a clue.

Before you get all crazy about it then remember that it is only if he/she gets a wolf in one of the first nights.

[Garin]

Garin is speaking quite a bit. I hope he doesn't try to become a leader in this village. We have many with great courage and good minds, let's not get sidetracked behind one person, as sometimes happens.

Gurthang, I know all too well that my inexperience precludes me from any leadership role. I have neither made any blatant accusations or put forth tactics as you have. I am simply taking advantage of the fact that I currently have time to enter into the village dialogue, for in the future I won't be so fortunate. Besides, look at the miniscule amount of posts I've actually made. I'm just trying to catch up.
Any true and honest leader will be wolf fodder before too long, so count me out. Just want to establish myself as an active member of the village.

Why, aren't we a little jumpy... I would think it is the lack of experience in these deals talking but tonight I have nothing better to go on and I am afraid I must cast my vote early to make sure I get a vote casted.

The Nilp growing bandwagon is a bad idea. Even if the guy is really guilty I would let him live at least another night and keep an eye on him, as should he be innocent any votes against him will say very little. But it is up to you fellow villagers what you do with your votes. Right now, I chose to go with the one my gut tells me is most likely to be guilty. I may be wrong, but I don't think

++Eluchil

sounds quite alright.

I have to go now, and I may or may not be around later. We will see.... think hard and vote smart my friends.

[Cailín]

Farael - your vote is all well and good but how can you stop a bandwagon by simply adding new names to the already extended group of possible lynchees today? I mean - everyone should vote for the one he deems most suspicious, but it is hardly helpful to all vote for someone else, thus making it easy for wolves to vote wolf on wolf.

I stand by my previous statement. I can try to silence a bit but then that would be viewed as suspicious, wouldn't it? By being vocal, I'm literally sticking my neck out. That is why I have such disdain for the silent and am glad so many explain the reasons for being periodically absent.

I have no wish for you to silence a bit. I just wish to hear more pointed, instead of just general statements, which give you the appearance of being vocal without risking anything.

As for the seer/apprentice situation I am beginning to be swayed towards the idea the more I think about it. So is that suspicious?

No. I think we basically all agree it is a sensible idea. By killing a wolf we'd have a good, reliable replacement when the Seer can no longer appeal to dead Formendacil and with the Apprentice and the Ranger being able to guard the Seer two nights in a row, I think this way we shall make the most use of our Seer as is possible.

I doubt I will cast a retribution vote against Alcarillo. I hold no ill regard towards Cailin although some have already cast suspicion upon him in previous posts.

It's her, thank you very much. ((I wonder why people always assume I am male, when my name could not be more girlish...)). I am glad there are no ill feelings, for I merely meant to illustrate how suspicion might go towards you.

[Garin]

It's her, thank you very much.

Please see that I caught my mistake earlier and added an edit. My apologies.

[Farael]

Well Cailin, I never said I was trying to stop the bandwagon, I only said I did not want to join it. And we have had only three people voted (besides Nilp) so I don't think the votes are too spread out just yet. Eluchil didn't sound quite right to me so I voted him. Feel free not to follow my instincts.

Having that said, I'd like to add another bit of a tidbit in favour of the seer coming forward if he gets a wolf on the first few nights. After we lynch the wolf, the seer should be able to ask him (or her) about someone, and therefore know at the very least, an innocent for sure. If we are lucky we'd get another wolf. And then, the ranger can protect our seer at least the night after we get the wolf... and another night if we get lucky and nail yet another wolf on the second night. But it all depends on the Seer finding a wolf in the first few nights. For the time being, we should try to help the seer by nailing a wolf by our own devices!

[the guy who be short]

I'm here!

Apologies for my lateness, villagefolk, I was unfortunately occupied with my books, and then out of the village to see the nearest toothtinkler.

Now, there are many villagers amongst us. Twenty in fact. And nineteen of us are guilty of something or other - only I have managed to live a life of pristine perfection and purity, pursuing the practice of hat-cobbling for the people. And no, that doesn't mean I'm the cobbler. Stop reading into things so much. Sheesh.

Fine, I'll be serious. One of us is dead, after all, Eru rest his soul.

I would like to declare myself openly hostile to all those those trying to kill Nilp. Nilp is Nilp. Is Nilp. Is suicidal. Got it?

Out of all those foolish enough to do so, I am most suspicious of Gil-Galad, for reasons obvious enough.

I would also like to declare my suspicions of Kath, we all know what a lying little sneak she is.
