Precisely. The fact that morm and I have weapons is neither here nor there.

Quite so. But they’d be crazy to make it too obvious early on, before having had any any opportunity to assess the “lie of the land”.

Collusion? Perhaps...

Well, I can assure you that there was no intent to collude on my part. Perky was one of the few people around at the time and I wanted to get the discussion going, as it is only through talking that we will have any hope of catching these fiends. If we are going to start accusing people simply for talking and sharing ideas, then we might as well all slit our throats now.

As for being flippant about Holby’s death, well I am far more concerned with preventing further innocent deaths than with mourning someone who is now beyond our help. Anyone who spends more time mourning than in trying to find the Wolves looks suspicious in my eyes.

*Glares at wilwa and Azaelia*

As for pipeweed, well it helps clear my head.

Quite so. As I said earlier to Perky:

I am not ruling anyone out. But I am not going to start accusing those who seem to me to be talking sense solely because they are being vocal, without any other evidence against them.

Right now, we have little in the way of evidence and in the absence of anything solid, I am most inclined to vote for those who are being least helpful.

Of course, going by my own criteria, Formendacil is looking the most suspicious at present. He outlines suspicions against two Villagers which are tenuous at best (and I would say as much even if I was not one of those that he suspects), and then votes for someone completely different without any shred of an explanation. Yet I am somewhat disinclined to vote for him solely on the basis of that alone when he is not present to explain himself further. He had to vote early and any vote that early on is going to be more or less randomly picked.
