It's a fair point well taken, Farael. As Garin, I'm inclined to believe Ang and let sleeping dogs lie. As for my hair growth, good sir, that is something which only my good lady wife shall ever know!

Well now this presents a problem. Having not seen Garin's reply til just now I was quite prepared to vote for him over that Seer comment, but yet again it was my misunderstanding that was causing all the problems

But, this means I have about 3 minutes before I have to put the turtles to bed (I won't be back again toDay) and no genuine suspect. I don't want to be purely random as that will be no help to anyone. Therefore I shall vote

++EOMER

Because (though I think this is repeating a past argument) if he's a wolf then better to get rid of him now, and if he's an innocent we won't be worrying about whether he's a wolf for the rest of the game! A hedging your bets argument it is I'll admit, but it's all I have.

Well I must head to slumberland right now, but I hope to be back before night falls. I would vote now and get myself an extra hour in bed, but I just can't justify voting for anyone at the moment. What a curse has befallen us, fellow villagers. Oh, angst!

Hello..

You Wolves haven't raised your paws yet!!???!!
Times a' wasting.
Sometime today please.

Kath, we seem to be on permanently different wavelengths, thanks for allowing me to counter and explain my statement.

No, I ain't no wolf and am dumbfounded as to why anyone would think such a thing .

My suicidal bid was an emotional one and I didn't allow myself to recover properly from The Guy's declaration. I am still baffled and I suppose we should see it to fruition or be forever tortured by "what ifs?'.

Call it Nilp (RIP) fever, because it felt like an illness.

It appears I'm the last to arrive.

I seem to missed out on most of the Day 1 sad hurlyburly, and can step back to comment on what I've seen so far.

First, Farael:

Quote:
Alright, here I am. And here are my first day ramblings

TGWBS YOU DESERVE TO DIE. It was MY act, MY time to shine by being Nilp.... but no, you just had to take it, hadn't you?

Still, I believe you innocent, you are just playing your role... and as a matter of fact, I was looking forward to send the village on a spin of confussion by playing out my own role
It's the "spin of confusion" that bothers me. There are three groups of people in this game with three distinct goals:

The wolves want to feast on fresh villager meat.

The innocents want to escape from the horrible fate that awaits us if we don't kill the wolves.

The lovers want to be united in a bloody wedding when everyone else is dead.

Which of these teams benefits most from a "spin of confusion?" I can tell you, it ain't the villagers. I don't know if you're a wolf or not, Farael, but if you're an innocent villager then your goal shouldn't be to create confusion for the other villagers. We're the only ones without some kind of special information--the only ones you'd be confusing are the innocent. I'm tempted to vote for you just for that comment and the suspicion I have that you'll follow it up.

Anyone who thinks it will be more fun to confuse people than to catch werewolves isn't an asset to this village. Even if his role is "innocent." Call me cold-blooded, but if you ain't with us, you're agin us.

Having gotten in trouble in the past for laying out suspicions in strong language and then voting elsewhere, I think I"d better follow through this time:

++Farael

Bravo Tar!

I try to avoid retribution votes but saw abnormalities in Farael's posts.

I know it he hasn't voted for me but he pretty much declared me a wolf.

Nice to see the votes spread out.

Edit :
Quote:
Samwise:As Garin, I'm inclined to believe Ang and let sleeping dogs lie.
I'm assuming you meant "as for Garin" and thanks for the slight vote of confidence but in this scenario I could use a better analogy than 'let sleeping dogs lie.'

No hard feelings. YET>

I'll prove to be more of a cat person.

No.
Rest at ease, because my death will unveil many truths including the one that I am but an ordinary.

If you are a werewolf... I extend the 'rot in hell' greeting to you that I extend to all lupines.

Unfortunately, in RL I am actually a werewolf so this role-playing deal is quite taxing to me.

However, It keeps me occupied.

Unfortunately, I don't think (as some others seem to believe) that there is anything seriously wrong with this post of Farael's. I'm sure you know what he means by his role and if not, let me clarify because it is so blantantly(sp?) obvious of what he actually is speaking of: his occupation. As for the TGWBS dieing bit, well, I think he was just upset that shorty took the one thing he wanted to do all this game: take Nilp's suicidal act. Reason being? Well, my belief is that he probably idolizes our dear Prophet. I'm sorry, but so far, I don't see anything really worrying here.

However, I am now leaning towards a wolfish Garin. As tar just said, and I quote:

Quote:

Now, you ask why I'm quoting this? Well, Garin apprving of tar's vote could be his way of hiding behind an innocent. What I mean to say is that if we were to lynch tar toDay, we would look back and possibly overlook Garin for approving of tar's vote. However, I to agree with tar that Farael wanting to cause confusion amongst us is rather...disturbing. Even though I'm pretty sure that's not Farael's attempt and that's why I'm inclined to believe Farael innocent.

To quote our dear Prophet:
