jsgoddess seems to have a unibrow. I vote to lynch her.

we started in Day, so I don’t think the Seer knows any more than the rest of us. I do know that a too quick bandwagon can be indicative of werewolves jumping in to lynch a townie. If she gets up to 8 votes she’ll just have to role claim and see if we believe her.

Not many votes so far, but just to keep track…

Captain Carrot - 1 Vote.  
Miller - 1 Vote.  
jsgoddess - 3 Votes.

::steadies **Winston Smith** in his drunken stumble::

I’d hardly consider a cow being beastly…so calm, serene.

**jsgoddess** is mighty quick with the accusations, eh? One might assume that is indicative of a werewolf… Or, perhaps it is a clever ruse, reverse psychology?

Personally, I wonder why that theif is so happy. smiling bandit gets my vote.

Yes, but a _ho_cow…there is no “holy” in a hocow…

She’ll just stand on the street corner and sell her milk to anyone. 😛 (Not implying that you’re a she, mind you…unless of course you are)

I’m turning the other cheek with jsgoddess’ flying accusations. She could be The Seer, ranting with nonsensical ramblings by day, but once she’s had a few pints at the pub…able to peer into the core of your soul by night.

**Wanderer** , might I remind you that Angua is _vegetarian_, unlike the werewolves threatening us now?

You are quick to jump to erroneous conclusions, and we all know that most werewolves are not bright at all, so I vote for One and Only Wanderers.

Ack, good point. I’m not used to daystarts.

This game should prove interesting. On one hand, he majority players are completely inexperienced, it seems. On the other hand, we’re at a site that generally includes the brightest folks on the net.

I’ve never played before, but I’ve been mulling over some strategies. Unfortunately, I don’t feel at liberty to discuss them because they’d be easily countered by the werewolves if they knew about them.

I’m still mulling over my options on who to suddenly and hysterically and completely out of nowhere accuse of being a werewolf, but I _am_ slightly suspicious of the name **moonstarssun** , seeing as how werewolves are linked to the full moon…

Well now, let’s see what we’ve got so far…

\*\*jsgoddess \*\* has called out eight different people, but hasn’t actually accused anyone of anything…yet. Is she paranoid, or just trying to provoke someone into giving themselves away?

Six different people have questiones jsgoddess’s status, but that’s only to be expected given her remarks earlier in the day.

**JSexton** , **hocow** , **Captain Carrot** , and **One and Only Wanderers** all came right out of the gate with an accusation. Could be “anminal instinct”, or again, maybe they’re just trying to get a rise out of someone.

And then there are **Richard Parker** , **Rysto** , **MadTheSwine** , **smiling bandit** , **Kytheria** , and **moonstarssun** , who have all yet to be heard from. Are they cowering in terror, or laying low until nightfall? It makes one wonder…

I think \*\*jsgoddess \*\*would not have drawn attention to herself so quickly were she a werewolf. Assuming that’s true, the werewolf is likely one who hopped on the \*\*jsgoddess \*\*bandwagon, but not too early. I think **Ogre** ’s succinct vote was an attempt to secure \*\*jsgoddess \*\*fate without drawing suspicion. I therefore say: Lynch Ogre!
