Hot damn, I was right! I know I was really working the “lynch **Rubystreak** ” theme, but I still wasn’t 100% sure if she was a townie who was really bad at the game, or a werewolf who was really good at it. Well played, **Ruby**! ---

Has the everyone been eaten? Long time since last post, so I thought I’d shoot this to the top and order all townies a round of drinks as we wait the night out. 😃 ---

\*Another day of celebration for the townspeople! But alas… rather than anger, the werewolves have turned to an even greater horror; children’s stories. Flour from the old windmill is mysteriously red and crunchy… it appears they’ve ground **Miller’s** bones to make their bread. \* It is Day Four. * * * **Miller** has been eaten, and many loaves made from his corpse. Yummy. Only four days then, so voting will end at 6:00pm my time on Friday. ---

Are we to assume that Miller was a simple townsman? ---

farewell Miller ☹ not even enough left to wander around as a zombie. OTOH at least it was just a townsperson they got. And that motive looks pretty obvious. When is this ‘day’ ending this time? ---

I guess it’s no surprise, since **Rubystreak** really really really wanted **Miller** dead. And I wondered why the bread seemed so protein-y. Okay, since **Rubystreak** deliberately called attention to her voting “strategy” then abandoned it to keep her vote for **Miller** , was she trying to avoid voting for someone with fewer posts–perhaps a werewolf? ---
**Author:** ![Enginerd](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/e/bcef8e/32.png) [@Enginerd](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Enginerd)\ **Post date:** [March 6, 2007, 3:55pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/werewolf-a-game/390997/895 "2007-03-06T15:55:37Z")
So of the four people I talked about in my last “suspicions” post ( **Rubystreak** , **jsgoddess** , **WinstonSmith** , and **Miller** ) ,two of them are dead now. At least I voted to lynch the one that was a werewolf. Right now, I’m inclined to vote for **WinstonSmith**. He’s posted a lot, but has studiously avoided providing any content for us. Even when he’s been accused, his responses have been limited to “I’m not a werewolf.” The first day, he jumped on the **jsgoddess** bandwagon immediately after **Menocchio** did. The second day, he cast the first vote for the late and lamented **moonstarssun**. That second vote was changed to **Wanderers** , and then to **Miller** - assuming **Wanderes** is actually a Mason, all three of them were town. The only strategic thinking I’ve seen him post is [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8291058&postcount=525), which looks to me like a warning to the other wolves to keep quiet. OK… in going through the thread one more time to compile this post, I’ve made up my mind. Lynch Winston Smith! ---

[QUOTE=Enginerd] OK… in going through the thread one more time to compile this post, I’ve made up my mind. Lynch Winston Smith! [/QUOTE] I voted for him twice, both times based on gut reactions. And both times everyone else’s gut reaction led them to pick out a werewolf. I’m beginning to feel like I’m the worst player this game has ever seen. **Richard Parker** made me suspicious on Day 2. It’s hard to recapture the feeling I had then. ---

I haven’t really changed my opinion since yesterday, which is that both **Winston Smith** and **CometotheDarkSide** are suspicious. Indeed, I mistakenly thought I had voted for **Winston** yesterday. Lynch Winston. ---

The only remaining person alive in the list is Richard Parker. Whether he is also town or not would depend on how sneaky **ruby** was, but i thought it worth mentioning for people to mull over. **jsgoddess** then immediately said she had her eye on Miller - perhaps she was supporting a fellow wolf,but then again perhaps not.

Neither of these facts guarantees her townhood, but the timing of the votes, and the fact that she did so twice, suggest town to me. On the other hand, I was wrong about **Rubystreak** , so maybe I’m wrong here too.
