You guys didn’t really think I’d claim werewolf if I were the last one do you?

My compatriot is safely ensconced in your midst. Tomorrow you will lynch a townie, tomorrow night one of you will be eaten. The next day you’ll probably lynch another townie, and that night yet another will be wolf fodder. The day after that you will most likely have caught my furry friend. So that means that four of you, or two if you get really lucky, still have a date with death.

I can just hear my lupine friend whispering in your ear “Good night, townie. Good work. Sleep well. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.”

Ok guys, we’ve got a 7-1 advantage (well, 6-1 come morning). We should be able to do this in our sleep!

Alrighty then.

The werewolves have chosen to feed upon **Richard Parker, a Townsperson** , and take away the remains in a doggy bag. Four days, Four votes.

ok 1st in the spotlight **Kat**

pros  
provides good analysis

cons  
wasn’t eaten last night. would be a logical wolf target due to providing analysis

voting record  
jsgoddess, menocchio, moonstarsun,  
Ogre, Winston Smith,  
Cometothedarksidewehavecookies, madtheswine, dnooman

dnooman vote doesn’t indicate much, because he was seer outed by then. likewise winston vote doesn’t count for much because he did a good wolf impression. that leaves 3 votes on townies, 2 on wolves. Those are good odds.

I’m leaning towards town on **Kat**

[/QUOTE]

No. She would have been a terrible wolf target since she’s not a “proved” townie.

The wolves will be gunning for the people who are definitely town. They would be foolish to whittle down our short list of unproved townies for us. That list is:

**unfinished symphony  
Kat  
Captain Carrot**

Of the three, only **Kat** has participated enough that I feel like I have a sense of her allegiance, and I think she’s town.

The other two are mostly ciphers. **Captain Carrot** has less “excuse” for not talking and showed a propensity for bandwagon hopping, so I’m going to early vote **Captain Carrot**.

It shouldn’t matter what order we lynch those three in, though it would obviously be preferable to get a hit sooner rather than later.

I am not feeling well at all, so apologies if I disappear for long stretches.

I’m leaning towards **unfinished symphony** right now, based on the fact that back on **MadTheSwine** day, **Richard Parker** posted a further suspect list of **dnooman** and **unfinished symphony**. I believe that everyone else had at least one other suspect on their list.

I have to go eat breakfast now. More posting later.

so is that why **Richard Parker** was killed?To single me out as most likely of the three? Still, it’ll narrow your pool of suspects if you go along with that and choose me. I’m thinking i see the plan behind dnoomans prediction of lynching another townie today. :mad: I noticed RT wrote wolves plural, so that would mean both Kat AND Carrot are such, unless that was a typo.

But if it’s one or t’other, I’m not entirely sure who to go for. I noticed dnooman put kat as a possible mason. MTS’s vote for Carrot could’ve been to ‘cover’ him. Hmmm

**Captain Carrot**

cons - relatively little input

voting record  
Wanderers, menocchio, Jsexton,  
moonstarsun, Winston, Madtheswine,  
dnooman

again discounting the Winstone vote, and the dnooman vote thats 2 out of 5 in the gold.

potential lynch candidate.

I voted for people whom I thought were guilty. Sometimes that involved a bandwagon, and sometimes not. Some of the time I was influenced by others’ analysis – but isn’t that part of the point of analysis, convincing people to vote your way?

Well, either to cast suspicion on you if you’re _not_ a wolf, or because you were worried about his powers of persuasion if you _are_ a wolf.

Well, the odds are for it right now. If there’s one wolf left, the odds are 1 in 3 that we get the wolf and 2 in 3 that we get another townie.
