If she were the GA, she would have said so explicitly with only 30 min. to go. There would be no reason not to.

There is no way she’s the GA. It has been explicitly stated that for us to lynch the GA would be the absolute worst case scenario. She would have fessed up if that were the case. Were she the Seer, she would have said so as well. If she were a mason, she would, or should, have piped up before because we have seen that the wolves are not interested in killing suspected masons. She’s either a townie or a wolf, we’ll know soon enough.

Oh, just as a nonspecific threat that struck me as extremely strange.

I mean yes, we will regret killing her if she’s a townie. But a plain Jane townie wouldn’t cost us too much lasting pain and anguish. And if she’s a role and hasn’t claimed, then I won’t be feeling anything but annoyance.

I have not lied to anyone. I have voiced strategy guesses and hunches, which are sometimes wrong, and I am town. Not Seer, not GA, not Mason…just town. If you go back and read everything that I’ve said and that has been said about me in that context, you can then filter any survivors through it.

I avoided the Mennochio wagon because I knew that any vanilla townies were just a blind and clueless as I was. I believe that the folks who voted for Mennochio did so out of sheer dumb luck (not calling anyone dumb, btw). Those who didn’t vote for him, or who talked about not voting for him (like me) got the shit end of the dumb luck stick with respect to public perception.

Enginerd was a safe vote, and he was being very quiet, and while I don’t support the Rubystreakian view that lurkers should be hung, they can certainly be vote for to prompt them into action. There is a huge difference between voting for someone and their actually getting lynched.

I’ve repeatedly said that you can’t trust Day 1 because I’ve been on the bad side of misinterpretation of what happened on that day since Day 2. As a townie, I’m obligated to try and explain that to you to the best of my ability. As a non-role town player, I’m challenged with the task of trying to present that argument without causing myself more suspicion.

I’m repeatedly telling you all the same thing, because I’m being honest, and have played the entire game without a single shred of manipulation. Every thing I’ve said has been honest or interpretive guessing.

If I survive today, perhaps the value of the historical context that would be revealed upon my death as confirmed town will keep the drooling wolves off of me.

All of my other votes were similarly “safe” except for Winston, who’s strategy backfired with many of us, including other town besides me, imho. I can’t say much about my missed vote, other than I missed the chance to vote or explain much that round.

And again, the situation being what it is, in order to save you we will end up lynching **MTS**. Give us a reason to do that.

As far as my vote for MadTheSwine goes, I’m still comfortable with it. I don’t buy his role claim. I could be wrong, but my vote stands anyway.

Here we go then. Things are picking up, so i’ll get straight to the point.

ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies - 6 Votes (Richard Parker, Enginerd, MadTheSwine, dnooman, jsgoddess, sturmhauke)

MadTheSwine - 4 Votes (ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies, Suburban Plankton, One and Only Wanderers, Kat)

**CTTDSWHC, a Townsperson** , is slain. GA, Seer, Werewolves, let’s go.

Damn!

Sorry **Cookies** , it’s clear now that you were telling the truth. Your death will not be in vain though. If **MadTheSwine** turns out to be a wolf, he dies tomorrow.

Gee, I would have skipped my meetings this morning it you’d have warned me about all of the drama I was missing!

RIP, **CTTDSWHC**. You shall not have died in vain! Unless, of course, we all continue to do the werewolves’ work for them.

This will be an interesting night. The Seer, Guardian Angel, and one of our Masons all exposed (assuming all of the claims are true). You can almost hear the werewolves sharpening their claws.

I don’t mean to put any undue stress on you, **MadTheSwine** , but it would really help us all out tremendously if you guess correctly this evening.

No pressure.

FUCK. I was on vacation and missed the vote. I’m totally not buying this **MadTheSwine** Guardian Angel bullshit. He saw that **Winston Smith** used a good tactic, but used it in an extremely flawed and paltry way. **Winston** used the worst possible bluff - one that he could be called on by the other Masons. **MadTheSwine** is now using that same tactic, but in a much more refined manner.

I know I can’t vote now, but this GA stuff _stinks_ like a werewolf.

Seer’s email is in. The werewolves have made their choice. Just the GA’s vote to go, unless i’ve missed the mail.
