Final count, then;

Winston Smith - 13 Votes (Flippin’ everyone. Oh, all right then. One and Only Wanderers, Captain Carrot, Enginerd, Kat, Richard Parker, ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies, dnooman, jsgoddess, MadTheSwine, Ogre, Suburban Plankton, sturmhauke, hocow)

One And Only Wanderers - 1 Vote (Winston Smith)

* * *

\*So much for keeping a level head. Mob mentality rules in Cecilton this evening; lovable town drunk Winston’s claim of being a secret Mason was looked on with scorn, and his offer to show off the “secret handshake” meant many fathers sent their daughters home early.

Considering that most poisons probably wouldn’t work, and since Winston had already fallen [del]into catatonia[/del] asleep, the villagers went for the old fashioned silver sword decapitation.\*

Night falls.

* * *

**Winston Smith, a… Townsperson** , has been sliced. Seer, GA, werewolves, you know the drill.

I’m the WORST. Werewolf. Player. EVAH.

It was fun while it lasted, though.

Wow. That sucks. Now I really want to be in the next game.  
This kind of carnage can’t happen too often.

I’m perfectly happy to hang you and see if you’re telling the truth once the smoke clears. If you’re really a Mason, I’ll apologize to your family and take care of your grave as long as I live.  
[/QUOTE]

Oh my. Well, he wasn’t a Mason, but that kind of loophole really isn’t in the spirit of what I said. I offer my sincere and heartfelt apologies to Winston’s family (and his spirit, if he can hear me). Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some work to attend to in the cemetery.

Mmm… crow!

Well hell. So Wrongfully Whacked Winston (may he rest in peace) was a townie, but confirmed not a Mason.

I keep coming back to the question of OaOWanderer’s alleged Mason status…

We of the crazed mob with innocent blood on our hands talked a lot about OaOWanderer in the context of WWW’s desperate role-claim. Is everyone _truly_ comfortable with OaOWanderer’s claimed role in absence of anyone stepping up to contradict him?

_Cough_ I’m afraid not…

* * *

\*…because on the way home from the bar, hocow was set upon by the werewolves. Let this be a lesson to you; don’t drink and…er, walk. \*

It is Day Five.

* * *

The werewolves have eaten **hocow, a Townsperson**. Day will end in four days, so that’s Tuesday at 6.00pm. Vote count to start a countdown is still 5.

Okay, so **Winston** really threw a spanner in the works. Everyone ended up voting for him, innocent and guilty alike.

And **hocow** was fairly high on my “suspicious” list, based soley (and obviously stupidly) on **Rubystreak** throwing out her own claimed plan to vote for the biggest lurker in favor of voting for **Miller**. The other person she could have targeted but didn’t was **Captain Carrot**.
