I am willing to vote **Cookies** to delay the ouster of **MadTheSwine** , but my preference at this point would be **unfinished symphony**. That vote would leave **MTS** in more jeopardy, however. Vote **Cookies**. ---

I think we have to let \*\*MTS \*\*live and have the Seer investigate tonight. If \*\*MTS \*\*is the GA, the wolves will have a 50/50 shot at eating the Seer or the GA. If not, we’re probably safe and we’ll bag a wolf in the morning. The alternative, to lynch \*\*MTS \*\*now, would mean the death of both the GA and the Seer if he’s telling the truth. That seems like too high a risk to take. All \*\*MTS \*\*would have gained by revealing is the chance to possible bag the Seer tonight. If that happens, it will have been a windfall. But it is unlikely since the real GA would protect the Seer. But if it doesn’t happen, which would be likely, he only delays his lynching by a day. I think the real GA (if not MTS) ought not reveal himself/herself, and we should lynch someone else. (But if I’m missing something, now’s the time!) ---

Vote Cookies. I don’t like it, but I can’t take the chance that MTS is telling the truth and he gets lynched. ---

I’m happy with my vote for **cookies** right now. Well, “happy” isn’t really the right word, but I can’t see changing it. **Richard Parker’s** analysis rings true to me. Since nobody’s countered **sturmhauke’s** claim, I’m going to assume for this post that he is the seer. Given that assumption, **Mad** is either the GA or a werewolf… or **Winston’s** long lost brother. I think (or at least hope) we can discard that third option. If he’s a werewolf, we’re home free - the real GA protects **sturmhauke** , **Mad** is investigated tonight, and we lynch him tomorrow. Pretty straightforward, and easy enough to imagine. Based on that prediction, I don’t see a werewolf making this claim… …which leads me to believe that **Mad** is, in fact, the Guardian Angel. Oh my. In this case, the wolves know the two most important people to us, and we’re under the gun to get them before they pick us all off. That’s a scary thought. Basically, I think we ought to stay away from **Mad** today. The GA and the seer need to do what they need to do (and I’m really friggin’ glad I don’t have to make those choices), and we see where the chips fall tomorrow. 23 pages of history to go on and we’re flipping a damn coin. Argh! ---

Wasn’t **Wanderers** flying to Finland or something today? If I remember right, we’re unlikely to hear from him. There are still two other Masons, I guess, but we have no way of knowing whether we’ve heard from them or not. ---

At this point it looks like the voting is **ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies 6 MadTheSwine 5** This is getting confusing to say the least. We’re going to end up with a _Princess Bride_ iocane powder situation. ---

I would move the deadline, but being able to use time is an acceptable tactic. Just because it’s worth pointing out, i’m not saying that it is being used as a tactic here necessarily. You’ve got an hour and a half. ---

Lynching me is not a conservative move, as it is squandering a living and breathing Townie, but you’ll learn lots of painful lessons in my passing. ---

> [@cookies](#): > > Lynching me is not a conservative move, as it is squandering a living and breathing Townie, but you’ll learn lots of painful lessons in my passing. This is the second time you’ve posted that. What does it mean? You haven’t claimed (or countered the others’ claims) to be the seer or the guardian angel, so I doubt that’s it. You could be a Mason, I suppose, but you’ve questioned **Wanderers** claim several times without countering it on your own. You’ve voted to lynch **Ogre** and me, who are two folks (and I really hope this doesn’t come back to bite me in the ass) who haven’t had a lot of suspicion thrown our way, and you’ve dropped cryptic hints about what we’ll learn if we lynch you. If you really are interested in helping us, how about telling us what we’ll learn beforehand? You might even save your hide. ---

Unless I’m overlooking the post, **Cookies** still has a vote in for **MTS**. And no one else is being offered up. So, I don’t see it as her saying to vote for a third person. (In reply to **Richard Parker** ’s post.) ---

So she’s saying that she’s the guardian angel, without saying it? That’s the only thing I can make of her post. ---
