I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who is curious about that thread.

I’m curious about who got their throat torn out last night.

Any one of us could already be dead. Which means that one of us is dead but still walking and talking and… crap. We don’t just have a werewolf problem. We’ve got zombies.

Well, then this should be easy to figure out. Who wants brains and who wants raisins?

Last night lasted from 1:34 PM on 2/16 till 1:10 PM on 2:19 - three days; so by my reckoning, it’s not yet midnight. Unless last time was a fluke, we’ve got a while to wait before we learn the identity of the Werewolves next victim.

Theoretically, night can last five minutes…if everybody gets their mails in to the mod. I know, I know. Sigh.

Don’t forget, the wolves get a chance to talk and vote about who to kill. There’s strategy involved in that decision. Timezones could be a factor to, potentially.

I thought they could communicate at a frequency that only they can hear? Seems like such things would not be impacted by timezones… 😛

_“Is it dawn?”  
“Yes! We survived!”  
“Huzzah! The werewolves’ victim must have been protected!”  
“Let us celebrate with much alcohol! Come on, JSexton!”  
“…”  
“He’s quiet this morning.”  
“Uh… that may be because he appears to have no head.”  
“…Ah.”_

It is Day Three.

* * *

The werewolves have snacked upon **JSexton**. Ouchy. Same as before, you can have a goodbye post but then i’m afraid you’re out.

In other news, i’ve had an email from \*\*unfinished symphony \*\* to say they’re having some personal problems at the moment, so they may not be in the state of mind to post much. I’m just informing you so that everyone doesn’t get suspicious because of that. Send good thoughts their way, please, guys and girls.

Villagers! We must avenge **JSexton’s** death, because we _cannot_ let this wolfish aggression stand.

And because **JSexton** owed me 10 quid.

So they again ate a townie that had in-depth analysis. Well, they’re not stupid werewolves, that’s for sure.

Shoot.I really didn’t think they would kill him.He must have struck a nerve with one of them somewhere.Hate to lose **Jsexton** but we should be able to gain quite a bit of insight from his death.Time for a long read through.

Are we to assume that **JSexton** was an everyday average vanilla townie, and not any special flavor?

**JSexton** , RIP. I can’t say I’m surprised. He was altogether too interesting and useful. I just knew he wasn’t a werewolf.

The lesson here seems to be, don’t be too informative. Don’t talk too much. But don’t be too quiet either.

😕

Rats. This one’s going to hurt.

On the bright side, he left us \*lots \*of information to pore over. I just hope we can put it to good use.  
RIP, **JSexton**.

Whoops. Thought i’d forgotten something. Yes, **JSexton** is (was) a Townsperson.
