> Since you asked for a clarification. I assigned the three unassigned roles letters (A, B, and C). If anyone needed to look at or take an unassigned role, I asked them which letter they wanted and revealed the appropriate information. If a wolf is the only wolf and gets to see what one of the unassigned roles is, it is possible that they could pick the other wolf role.  
> To everyone, I can see that I made this game too long. I am sorry. I did not expect it to be so active so quickly. That said, I do not want to change the end time from what I initially established. I will now set a definite time. Please have your votes in by 1:00 pm Central Time on Monday, December 21st.

Thanks for the clarification, **Mental Guy**. I don’t care what everyone else says, your top notch in my book!

I’m actually glad the game hasn’t ended quite yet, for I’ve been away since Thursday night.

As for the rest of you lying scumbags…I don’t even know where to begin.

The town is racked with fear. They split up. One group hunts down Prof. Pepperwinkle and and kills him. They find no evidence that he is a werewolf. What they do find is his Mason’s ring. The other group hunts down and shoots Biotop. As Biotop gets hit, he discharges his gun. He hits HookerChemical. The town looks at Biotop and HookerChemical and see that Biotop has done the town a great service with his dying action. HookerChemical has transformed into a wolf.

A werewolf has been killed. The village wins the game.

Town roll call:

Inner Stickler - Villager Voted for Prof. Pepperwinkle  
TexCat - Drunk (after switching with Johnny Bravo) Voted for Inner Stickler  
Prof. Pepperwinkle - Mason Voted for Biotop  
Wolverine - Tanner - Voted for Biotop  
Biotop - Hunter - Voted for HookerChemical which killed HookerChemical when Biotop was killed.  
HookerChemical - Werewolf (killed by Hunter) Voted for Inner Stickler  
snfaulkner - Villager Voted for HookerChemical  
sachertorte - Mason Voted for Biotop  
Mahaloth - Seer (Looked at Wolverine’s role) Voted for Prof. Pepperwinkle  
Johnny Bravo - Insomniac (after starting as Drunk, then switching with unassigned role) Voted for Prof. Pepperwinkle

I’m shocked.  
Why did so many people vote for Inner Stickler and Prof. P?

Hurrah!

I think I nearly blew the game with all my lying. I wonder if **sachertorte** ’s initial “troublemaker” fib would have tricked \*\*HookerChemical \*\* into confessing had I been smart enough to have let it alone early? Probably so.

In retrospect, I should have just claimed “Villager” early on. Any Villager claim is naturally going to be met with suspicion— which is what I wanted as Hunter.

Dang it! I changed my vote from you to IS last night. If I’d stuck on you, it would have been a wolf victory. Arg!

This is one crazy game. I still was expecting \*\*Inner Stickler \*\* to be the second Wolf.

I wasn’t going to own up until late, so it depends on how long sachertorte let the fib stay out there and who gathered steam for the vote. Mahaloth was more or less confirmed town, so that might have forced me to own up earlier rather than trying to build a case against Mahaloth. I’d have let your fib play out longer if I didn’t feel that people might be checking out of the game.

I didn’t vote for anybody. Figured I had am even shot at winning regardless of what happened since I didn’t know my Role.

Mist be a bookkeeping error.

It was really tough figuring out the right time to tell the truth…especially with the chance that a real troublemaker was hiding out there somewhere.

But the trouble with lying at first is that no one believes you later.

I’m dead because of a bookkeeping error? Or am I alive? The game’s over, but my fate is still a mystery!

You were never meant to know what you were/are in this game, sir.

Apparently, I did make a bookkeeping error. I thought Johnny Bravo had voted for you earlier. He later PMed me saying he was “holding his vote”, which I first interpreted him as not voting, but then thought he might mean he was not changing his vote in spite of new information. Since, technically, you have to vote (though I did not post that in the rules) and his vote would not change the outcome of the game, I decided to go with his vote for Prof. Pepperwinkle. I just went back and checked, though, and he never did vote for you or anyone else. If I had forced him to vote, I am sure he would have made a one-off vote to not affect the outcome. So, Prof. Pepperwinkle, you are alive. The outcome of the game does not change, though.

That makes me feel a little better. But I’m still wondering what’s up with Inner Stickler. I can’t see any reason for a villager to vote for Prof P. Then again, I can’t make any sense of the way he was playing at all.

By the end of the game, no one was claiming to have switched Prof P. He was a Mason, basically confirmed!
