There are fourteen votes for me. So fourteen have voted. I’m abstaining because there’s no point in voting for someone else now. That’s 15. There’s eighteen now that two are dead. Who are the three that haven’t voted? Other than **Zeriel**?

I see…last posted at Night, I think. Just trying to keep track of who is who and who is in the game and so forth.

Thanks Telcontar.

NETA:

Sorry, there were only eighteen players to start with. So 15 people are accounted for.

I disagree - depending upon the outcome of your death 🙂 there’s quite a bit that your vote could tell us.

You are in a no-lose situation (discounting that whole “death” thing) - basically, give us your final decision as to who is most wolf-like. I think this is one of the more pro-town things you could do.

I think we should make him confess. You know, thumbscrew and flail style. That way we could forgive him before burning him at the stake.

Freudian, I disagree that your vote will tell us nothing. If you are really pro-town, you should vote.

[I see on preview rex has said the same thing].

**FS** , point the finger now. You don’t have long to live.

Everyone else, consider pointing the finger now. There is a chance you could die toNight - or if there isn’t, you want to pretend that there is.We are working with incomplete information here, but that is the nature of the game.

I agree with **FS** ’s accusations against **Seeker** - most of us are noobs too, and it doesn’t explain the hounding of **Daphne**. And your attitude is all wrong. If you are a noob who is unsure of anything, why do you have so much confidence in your convictions? eg,

> [@](#):

> Well, I personally think that Freudian Slit is lying through her canine teeth. But we’ll see soon enough.
>

Also: **Zeriel** , WTF? Other people are saying you are a notoriously aggressive. I don’t know if that’s true, but even if it’s not you barely contributed Day 1, and not at all Day 2. Wake up before the beeps of the Testeriser right in your ear act as your alarm clock.

Also, I’d just like to re-iterate: one possible explanation of the test results is that when the two colours taken together have eight letters, it means Rancher or town. That will obviously be subject to FS’s honesty and the lynch results, but still, it’s worth considering.

Okay, fine. If I have to vote for someone,  
\*\*  
Vote Seeker of Truth & Beauty\*\*

Because of all the reasons I’ve mentioned.

I know you all think I’m a hairy wolf, but you will all see how wrong you’ve been in a short while.

Wrong colour, mate.

But like I said, innocent or not, Ranger or not, your death is a vital data point for the town. And you can haunt the bar as much as you want.

In addition, Freudian, you and Scuba\_Ben(and november I guess) could start the “death” thread if you wanted. I see that Munchkin Mafia has a death thread for those dearly departed(both evil and good I guess).

Yeah, I was actually wondering if there was one already, since I’d like to keep following this thread and speculating post-death. I’ll start one when I’m officially dragged off with the hangman’s noose.

There is one already floating around, called “Splitting the difference…” or something like that.

That’s for us? Oh, I guess that makes sense. I never really noticed our game is called the Split. Glad I haven’t wandered in there. It almost needs to be modded to say “werewolf mafia” in the title(or I just need to learn to read).

Ah, thanks, **rex**. I’ll be sure to start posting when I’m gone.

Then again, I do have time before I officially die. Do I want to go out 12 Angry Men style, convincing you all individually of my non-wolf-sense?

Nope I think that would be a waste because we need you dead at this point.

What we could use your help with is picking tomorrow lynch. Right now I think Daphne, Seeker and Telcontar are the most suspicious due to their weak case against you. (My post #544) I am also suspicious of Seeker due to his Day 1 actions which have been claimed to be regular newbie slip and not scum. I don’t buy it. I would like to see one of these three test-lynched.

We need to spend the rest of the Day looking at toMorrow’s lynch. Any one else have any ideas where they want this to go?

I agree that those other three seem suspect. **Daphne** could go either way. I’m going to spend some time looking over her posts and **Telcontar** ’s the way I did with **Seeker** ’s.

How long has **Zeriel** been out for? Did **Zeriel** even vote? I hate when people never post because they fly under the radar, unfairly.

We need to keep in mind that **Freudian Slit** ’s role (town or wolf) will determine a lot of the conversation once revealed. If she (as I’m pretty much believing at this point) is a rancher, then the interactions that have taken place with her by various people as well as her own posts take on one flavor. An entirely different flavor if she’s revealed to be a wolf.

I will also need to really re-evaluate my own thinking (that whole Daphne/FS working in collusion thing, which now appears misguided).

\*\*Telcontar \*\*is still pinging my radar. As is the mysteriously disappeared **Zeriel**.

Re: **Zeriel**

I don’t know if this is allowed in-game, so as a newbie please forgive if it’s verboten and grant me an exception

But **Zeriel** ’s user page shows his last activity as being on 2/21. I believe “last activity” means logging in. Since he posts on average once per day, I’m going to guess that he’s not taking this game so seriously that he’s actively not participating anywhere else solely to appear as a lurker in this game. In other words, he’s completely unavailable due to real life circumstances.

But I don’t know him from Adam, just a edumacated guess.

I’m going to sub out Zeriel at the end of the Day.
