By all means, suspect me and vote for me- notice or no notice (although you have irked me into posting a notice, something I tend to disdain, being of the opinion that Real Life issues need not intrude on Werewolf). But to base suspicion of me on whether or not I am sick is silly...

Anyway, I am sick, and it's making me quite irritable. All this talk of "hearing more from the quiet ones". I ask you, when has it EVER produced a tangible increase in noise from the "quiet ones"?

Of course, I do appreciate the fact that you're rather feeling a lack of things to go by where "certain" quiet ones are concerned. However, continual harping about "needing to hear more" is something that you'd THINK would have died out after 17+ mainstream games of Werewolf. But no....

Now, things are very grim in this village. Other than our Seer, the Gifteds remain untouched, but the number of Innocents goes in only one direction: down. And the Werewolves have been touched not at all.

Therefore, let me make an announcement I was planning on saving for a little while, until a "Proven Innocent" could be more useful:

I AM THE FOOL.

That is correct, I am the Village Fool. And I defy any Werewolf to contradict me. And trust me, they won't, because so far this village seems to be clueless as to who the Werewolves are. Therefore, challenging my claim is tantamount to saying "I am a Werewolf".

Of course, it could mean that I'll be killed tonight... but so what? I'm not a real Gifted! I don't even have the foggiest idea who the Werewolves might be, and I'm not one of the Village Thinkers to figure it out on my own.

So, if I have nothing to offer fear to the Werewolves or help to the Village, why bother revealing myself?

To knock one name off that "possibly guilty" list.

Thank you, Eaumor, and Good Night.
