WW XCVI - The Fell Winter of 2911

[Meneltarmacil]

When I made that statement yesterday about Kath, I had failed to consider her actions on the previous Day. In failing to start a wolfwagon with Legate, she's basically proven her innocence.

And Nerwen when I sad "That would make you innocent and Shasta the wolf," I was referring to a theory that I was finding increasingly tenuous.

Although, come to think of it, there is only one person who has remained on my suspect list throughout the Nerwen-Kath uncertainty: Shasta. Interesting...

And yet, you had all yesterDay to reach that conclusion, and were certainly perfectly aware of how and when she'd voted, because you mentioned it yourself...

???And how does that logically justify your re-instating me as "top suspect"?

Very interesting...

EDIT:X'd since my last post.

Nerwen, considering there is really nothing more I can do that will convince you I'm not a werewolf, all I can really say is this.

I am innocent. If you lynch me and find that out the hard way, your crusade against me today will probably put you in the noose tomorrow.

Also, I notice it has been largely Nerwen making the attacks against me while Shasta hides out in her shadow and supports her from time to time. If there is a Menel-lynch today, Nerwen becomes top suspect tomorrow, and Shasta, due to more limited anti-Menel participation, will be left behind to lick his wolfish chops as the village continues toward its doom.

Just a thought.

*sigh* I don't *want* to lynch you if you're innocent, Menel. Did you not see my reservations after the Legalysis? On the other hand, I don't see how responding to your extremely ill-reasoned and seemingly opportunistic "case" on me constitutes a "crusade", nor why it would necessarily put me in the noose tomorrow, should you turn out innocent. (In case you hadn't noticed, Nogrod had all but decided to lynch you toDay, before I ever posted.) Also, how is it that you're suddenly convinced of my innocence?

Look, can you actually make a case against anyone else, Menel? A real one, I mean?

Constantly prodding me about a couple statements I made (the first of which was more of a "if my previous, ill-played theory was true") is more than just responding. I don't remember any one person grilling G55 so much about her "galwolf" comment, for instance.

And in any case, it's not just you I'm suspicious of. As I've mentioned all Day, both you and Shasta are under suspicion, and I'm beginning to think Shasta might get my vote today considering what I've said above. As for Nogrod, Shastawolf wouldn't really care whether you or Nogrod gets lynched tomorrow as long as it isn't him, which leads me to think he's going to kill Kath tonight.

As for why I'm "suddenly convinced of your innocence" as you put it, I'm not. It just occurred to me that a wolf wouldn't attack an innocent this much if there was a good chance that innocent would get lynched. That would put the wolf under a lot of uncomfortable scrutiny the next Day.

Somebody who's quietly but consistently supporting an misguided innocent, though? That's another story.

[Meneltarmacil]

I think I've said my piece for now. I'm going to vote for

++Shastanis Althreduin

even though it probably won't do any good because I'll be lynched anyway.

When tomorrow comes and there are only three left, remember everything I have said here. Shasta will probably leave one of my outspoken critics alive and try to convince whoever he didn't eat to lynch the critic for lynching me. Don't believe him. Hang his furry hide out to dry.

I am "prodding" you for a satisfactory answer to the points I've raised. That is all, Menel! Do you think I'd treat anyone else differently?

For the record, I have given scenarios already whereby the wolf could, theoretically, be any of the other players. None of them are at all likely, but then, if it's not you, we must, by definition, be dealing with a skilled and experienced villain who has covered his or her tracks very carefully– and are thus in for a particularly tricky endgame.

Very well, then: why has Shasta now replaced me at the top of your list? This is an honest question. To put it bluntly, Menel, you've whirled from suspicion to suspicion so often, and given so many often contradictory reasons for them, that you're starting to make me postively dizzy!

EDIT:X'd with 2 Menels.

Actually, there's plenty you could do. You just haven't been doing it.

Because I don't think a wolf would be this fixated on bringing me down. That would attract unwanted attantion the next Day.

Shasta has been more careful and more quiet in his suspicion of me. Staying low and providing support to the loud, misguided innocents sends up red flags where I'm concerned. He could avoid a lynch more easily by claiming he wasn't the one to blame.

And with that, I think I'll be on my way. On a last note, I'm sorry if anyone has taken my defensiveness personally.
