Good morning, everybody. Actually, it's afternoon now for me.

Anyway, I was disappointed today to see that Dyonisus was turned. I was hoping to get this game overwith today. But it was not to be.

First off - Phantom, Kath died. You guys all lynched her, remember? Or maybe you didn't....that's right, you neglected to vote that day.

Second off - Sally, I think it's pretty clear that Nerwen is Persephone. I was very confused about why she tried to duck under the claim before I realized that if Hades was killed, there was no way for her lover pair to win. She was trying to protect Hades. Phantom's reasoning as to why she is Persephone is obviously clear. First, there was Greenie's constant affirmation that Nerwen was not a wolf. Second, there was that hint laid down by Shasta. Third, their was the fact that Shasta himself was Hades and Nerwen didn't vote for him.

Third off - Seven votes were layed yesterday. Four were for Shasta, three were for Mira, although the reasoning against Mira was very shallow. There was no real reason to vote for her, while there was very, very sound reason to vote for Shasta. Let us consider who voted for Mira:

Shasta - well...duh...he was trying to save his own life.
Nerwen - She was trying to save her lover. Good for her. It kind of ticks me off, though.
Lalaith - Our (almost last) missing wolf. I'd been thinking about this all day yesterday (well, not all day, but whenever I got the chance). There was no reason to vote for Mira unless someone was trying to protect something that had to do with Shasta. No other reason makes sense. No wolf, at this point in the game, would vote for a fellow wolf. Is there any other reason she would vote for Mira and not Shasta? Her explenation for her vote for Mira in post 1137 is perfectly lame. She was literally grasping at straws.

And Fourth off - Our new problem is, Who is Dyonisus? (Gosh, I can NEVER remember how to spell the Cursed's name!) I see that some of you suspect me. Would you kindly explain why? It's easy to throw names out, but harder to put out evidence. I've noted that people think that Dyonisus will attempt to play a cobbler like position, and in all honestly, I have tried to participate whole-heartedly in this game in attempt to kill the wolves and let the God's win. Do you think I have tried to play this game in such a manner to make it confusing? I haven't, and am kind of sad that you think I have...(mostly because I already feel ridiculously stupid about not understanding half of went all the entire time...I try not to take any remarks personally, but geez...)

I'd like to suggest that Sally is Dyonisus. I know you might disagree immediately, but pause a while, and think. Everyone was surprised that Sally was not modfired when she gave such blatant hints about her identity. A few people suggested that she wasn't who she said she was. Perhaps this is the case. But, putting that aside - consider that a lot of her posts have been wide of the mark. Sometimes they were helpful...but sometimes all they did was send people (me included) into a downward spiraling mass of confusion. Her suggestion about the rangers protecting the seers, way back towards the beginning of the game, was not a good suggestion, but she tried to make it sound like one. When Phantom pointed out who Hades was, she tried to stand behind his idea and make it look like it was hers, too. All this game, she's made people think she was good. And she has been good, in a sense. But if she's Dyonisus, all that changed last night.

That's all I've got for now.
