OOC: It's in the second or third post in this thread.

OOC: The map is, but the locations list would be helpful to figure out which locations are available for double searches. EDIT: Nevermind, I see now, the ones that can be doubled aren't bolded. Sorry, carry on.

Alright. Unfortunately, none of us seem to have any rope.
So Mayor, where do you keep the rope?

Mayor Rodriguez

I would assume there is some rope in the supply sheds. You know. For whenever we need.. Rope.

Gordon Freeman

Well, Supply Shed 2 is fair game for a double search, so if we were to do that, I'd still like to look into searching a home as our second location (at this point, I think that 9-12 would be a good choice).

I do strongly believe, though, that Noelle is one of our culprits, She smokes, she's a miner, and she has the personality for the arch wolf. I don't think we can go too far wrong with this.

Alice Edvige

Noelle. But with only three people having cigs, that is surely some hard evidence or a red herring.

Luxe Ignis

Now, let's not get hasty. Noelle was one of the only people on my side the other day and pretty much kept my head screwed on for me. Let's take a step back and review more evidence before sending her to the chopping block.

OOC: Since there are only 22 people left and the vote to execute a suspect is by 25% of the total population, we need at least 5.5 people vote in unison. So, we would need 6 people's votes to execute someone, just saying for reference.

Jamie Gray

That isn't helping your point too much, considering you're both pretty big suspects. Just sayin'.

Gordon Freeman

Could be, but why would the butt be there otherwise? They had to get a cigarette from somewhere; most likely from someone in this group. There are only 3 people with cigarettes, and I don't think that Alice fits the bill. Drake could, but at the same time, he's had suspicions about Noelle since yesterday (if I'm not mistaken), and I agree with him.
That may be true, however at that point it seemed fairly obvious that you were going to be executed. If you had turned up innocent, it would have been easy for Noelle to turn the crowd on either myself or Enya. Besides, you had also voiced your suspicions about Noelle; she may have thought that by defending you, you'd warm up to her in the event of your survival (which indeed seems to be what's happening).

I'm telling you right now that my vote isn't budging. You can choose to help if you wish, though I know you had your suspicions, and urge you to re-visit the evidence.

Luxe Ignis

Professor, you should know me well enough that I only stick to facts, but it can't hurt to show a little compassion every once in a while. We have to remember that the wolves are our enemies, all we have is each other, so we can't be turning on one another at every sign of trouble.

I will gladly review the facts.

Jamie Gray

You forget that three of us at this very moment are wolves. You can't trust anyone here, all you can do is look at the facts. After reviewing these facts, I hope that Noelle's head will look good in a basket.

Gordon Freeman

Indeed, you're right. And I did show compassion by removing my vote from you and keeping you from the block. I'm not saying you owe me anything; I'm only telling you that my vote is not moving, and that I implore you to help as you see fit.

Noelle Callum

Yup, it's a bloody cigarette butt. Get over it. Haven't you heard the old adage - the simplest answer is the most likely? We all saw John Drake with his cigarettes at the graveyard, and now we see a cigarette butt at the graveyard.

Now granted, I know that won't cut it for some of you. So I'll have to defend myself with a good offense, by looking at the things we should be focusing on... The note, the murder scene, and the lights.

I'll start with the murder scene... It's brutally violent, I don't think anyone would disagree. Someone with a mean streak, someone aggressive, someone with anguished memories... Those are the sorts of traits we're looking for here.

Next, the note... "Hurts". It's a powerful word, and one of many meanings. It could indicate that the person it's attributed to likes to hurt people, or does so as part of their profession. It could indicate that they are injured. It could indicate that they've experienced a mental or emotional trauma that still resonates with them. Or it could simply mean that they carry weapons.

Finally, the lights. Yes, having the lights turned off is a suspicious event. It could indicate a preference, it could be something tactful. But the WHY here seems less important than the HOW. The lights went out because either the main generator or the substations was compromised, likely by someone who has reason to be there on account of their job, or who simply has access.

She glances around, making sure people see her...

If you're playing along, the answer becomes pretty clear. Our wolf is none other than Eddie Carlyle.

Oh, you weren't playing along? Fine. I'll detail it out... Eddie works as a security guard in the city. As part of his job, he has access... Well, everywhere, I'd assume. Flipping the lights is simply a matter of finding the right key to get into the building.

Eddie also fits the note. Yes, you might be saying that I do as well, with the death of my mother and all. Fair enough, but let's count the ways that Eddie fits it. He has a weapon, check. He likes to use it (and his fists), check. He is emotionally scarred in a very similar way to myself, check. And... Well, he cuts himself while shaving. Check, I guess. I daresay you won't find a single other person here who fits "hurts" like he does.

And that finally brings us to the murder scene. Eddie is a confrontational bloke, and eager to attack. In this case, attack multiple times, and with ferocity. It's actually right in line with the first smaller wolf - always looking for provocations, looking to talk back. He'd be just the sort to argue with his Arch. You could also argue that he would have been reluctant to put out the torch last night, seeing that he enjoys seeing people suffer as he did and does.

I vote for Eddie Carlyle.

Let's go back 2 weeks ago. Phil and Mike were in the mines when their dynamite's explosion had exposed them to the green-goop, in which they were knocked unconscious and fell into puddles of it. Now, the Mayor stated 2 weeks later “People, I assure you, my act to reopen the Coal Mines will not result in any more cases similar to those of Phillip and Michael. Both inhabitants are making a recovery, and..” before he was interrupted by journalists. This can only mean that Phil and Mike were treated for their injuries.

My question is, who were the doctors attending the Phil and Mike? Surely they could have been exposed to the contagion while caring for them, especially since we hadn't identified the threat until 2 weeks later when they attacked. This can only leave us to assume that it takes 2 weeks to be "turned" into a wolf. If not, then Phil and Mike were taking their sweet ass time waiting to attack, which is doubtful. My guess is that the doctors caring for Phil and Mike did so about a day after the incident, what with medical transfers and things. This explains why the attacks that in front of the pub happened a day after the attacks by Phil and Mike. The question is, who were the medical "professionals" caring for Phil and Mike? They're our top suspects next to the people who dragged Phil and Mike out of the mines, who too could have been infected with this virus.
