[QUOTE=One And Only Wanderers] also 5 remaining werewolves??? if that were the case this game would have been hugely unbalanced. i think we have 3 more maximum. [/QUOTE] Exactly why I made the disclaimer at the beginning of my post. I don’t really think there can be 5 werewolves left, but the line of thinking in my post was what was going through my head. I think there should probably be only two werewolves left. If that is the case, then we are probably home free because they would be \*\*dnooman \*\*and **MadTheSwine** , both of whom will most likely be dead by sundown tomorrow. I still don’t understand dnooman’s reasoning behind his confession. It could just be that he knows the werewolves are sunk, so it doesn’t matter that he comes clean. That does seem the most likely scenario at the moment. But when I tried to think of what other reasons there could be, the best I could come up with was what I posted. As you point out, it would mean that almost half the town is a werewolf right now. That is almost certainly not the case, because if the werewolves were so close to a majority, there would have been no reason for any of them to call attention to themselves with false claims, etc. They could have laid low and picked us off overnight and most likely won in the next 2-3 days. Please take my earlier post in the lighthearted manner in which it was intended, but keep it in the back of your mind just in case things don’t go as expected over the next two days. ---

[QUOTE=jsgoddess] **dnooman** ’s confession seems geared toward drawing all the votes his way. Who benefits if he does that? Only another werewolf. It’s one thing to do what the werewolves want inadvertently. It’s another thing for the werewolves to spell out what they want and the town goes along with it. **MTS** was trying very hard to get people to stop voting to stop the countdown. Now **dnooman** tries hard (by confessing) to get the votes switched to stop the countdown or start a new one or just to drag things out for purposes that I can’t begin to imagine. The 100% confirmed information we have is that **MTS** lied about being the GA. Everything else has at least some element of assumption to it. [/QUOTE] I’m thinking you and \*\*sturmhauke \*\* are in cahoots with **dnooman**. Lynch me if you must friends. The answers will be clear after my death and we should be home free. ---

[QUOTE=MadTheSwine] I’m thinking you and \*\*sturmhauke \*\* are in cahoots with **dnooman**. [/QUOTE] The problem with that is that is \*\*sturmhauke \*\*is a werewolf, then that means that **Richard Parker** is as well. Remember, RP was a hair-breadth away from being lynched before sturmhauke stepped in. If sturmhauke is a wolf, there’s no way he would have stopped us from lynching a townie at that point. That gives us at least 6 werewolves at the beginning of the game, even if you are innocent, and that seems to be too many. Now, it could be that our moderator sensed the awesome intellectual powers present in our townspeople and decided we needed an extra tough challenge, but I doubt it. ---

[QUOTE=MadTheSwine] Lynch me if you must friends. The answers will be clear after my death and we should be home free. [/QUOTE] Say you are just a plain townie. What “answers” would be revealed when you are lynched? All we’d know is that: 1. You pulled the same ridiculous stunt as **Winston** with even worse results, and 2. People decided to lynch you. That’s it. There are no “answers” there. Of course, since I believe you’re a wolf, that’s _my_ answer. ---

[QUOTE=jsgoddess] Nooo, I think you’re mixing up RP and me. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I think you’re right. So, wherever I said **Richard Parker** , substitute **jsgoddess** , and vice versa. And while you’re at it, replace **Kat** , **Enginerd** , and \*\*myself \*\*with **Eartha Kitt** , **Casey Jones** , and **Eddie Izzard** , just for kicks. You know, it would make things a lot easier if we had a scorecard. Can’t tell the players, and all that… ---

Here we go, then. MadTheSwine - 6 Votes (Captain Carrot, Enginerd, dnooman, jsgoddess, sturmhauke, Kat) dnooman - 4 Votes (MadTheSwine, One And Only Wanderers, Suburban Plankton, Richard Parker) **MadTheSwine, a Werewolf** , has been killed. Not that I really needed to say at this point. Seer, Werewolves, votes in, s’il vous plait. ---
