Either we're wolves or we aren't - there's a 50-50 chance!

This is some quiet village.
Yes but that was to be expected - after all we're only 13. Of course it's sometimes nice to play in a big and noisy village, but games this small are also really refreshing (and besides this is much better for my schedule, not the least because chances are good enough I'll be dead before I have to start playing a host).

I'm so clever.

Also, you clearly want to take the lead in this game, which makes me smile, because if innocent this is good news for us, if a wolf, I will catch you slip soon enough and you know it.
No you won't! Whoops I mean...

If it is, it should be one that most WWers share. Yes, it happened when we played real life werewolf, but it wasn't really anything new or unheard of. (However my apology for not showing up last night was a Geneva-related joke - one of the wolves apparently misread their role so there were only two of them.)

Yes, I do. He gave reasons for his vote that looked sound from his perspective.
When I'm innocent, I always get wary of people who suspect me. Why? Because I know for sure they're suspecting an innocent. It's all the information I have so it's all I can base my own thoughts and suspicions on. You have to start from somewhere, and it's easier to use the things you actually know as a basis.

I'm not too worried about Fea at the moment (I'll start paying closer attention to her when she starts paying closer attention to the game, that is on day 2). I'm slightly concerned about skip and Eomer, but I'd rather wait and see (at least a few hours ) because my points against them aren't very big. I'm torn about Greenie but that's nothing unusual. And I'd like to see sally and EW post more. The rest of you haven't really left an impression.

Tea-time!

All right. I can see now, I think, where Shasta was coming from.. But then again, Lottie's only posts are really ridiculously early, so not nudging the game on at that time seems pretty natural.

Eh? Count your percentages again, will you, dear? You will find that half the village aren't actually wolves.

I can see your point, though I don't necessarily think that way myself. I get wary of people suspecting me if their arguments are far-fetched; but generally I'm more suspicious of people who are pronouncedly trying to get in my good books.

Ah. I see what you mean.

Also, it's more than about time I went to bed (my alarm clock will go off in too few hours), so I'll vote

++ Fea

Since I really don't suspect anyone more than I suspect everyone, I'm going after someone who has
a) posted many times (including after the full banter-phase ended) and hardly any of it on topic or non-joking - I know what her views on the importance of Day 1s are but still
b) a smug tone (yeah I know she always does)
and c) confessed to being a wolf. Now I know it could well be just innocent Fea joking about what she did in Genevamoot, but it just struck me that while I'm not sure that particular joke would have occurred to an innocent Fea, I'm pretty sure it would have to a Feawolf.

I'm not sure if I'm making sense, but regardless of that, I need to be off to bed now. Sweet dreams!
