Oh. NO. Wait.

Bad news:

Thus, I will roll a die at the end of the Day to determine whether or not the victim’s vote has any merit.

Which means it may not even be a tie at all. But we've never seen a been-stung's vote not being counted so far in this game, right?

Good news:

So, spiderlings, if you help us lynch Shelob, you will revert to your good old selves. We will all win - except Shelob. (Do I have this right, Moddess?)

Come on. Wouldn't you want to give the good guys another point in the official Werewolf tally? (The last time I checked - 2 years ago - the villains are still in the lead. They always have been).

Besides, you can consider this as payback to Shelob for stinging you in the first place.

(I had already taken my glasses off and started counting sheep when this came to my mind. I swear this game has seriously messed up my already-messed up sleep cycle.

But the problem with my good news is that we're not 100% certain Nogrod IS Shelob, and obviously the spiderlings can't reveal him OR themselves.

Sigh.

I'm going to bed.

Except for, you know, the part where the spiderlings are evil. Other than that though....

Now, now, Lhuna dear, you can hardly expect us to go against our allegiance. That would hardly be sporting.

Well for that, Shasta, you don't get story time from the other night.

Hm. I shall have to ponder this.
