comes out of the corner that he's been stuck in.

I'll vote to search the Saloon for now.

Martin Westbrooke

You haven't said anything other than "I'm innocent, you have to believe me" and give poor explanation as to why other people are guilty.

I'll remind you again that you seemingly haven't cared whatsoever who dies today as long as we can get two people and one of those people isn't you.

Aces

It is hard to be sure, but I think it was Jim Jackson and Sam Rusk.


Aces

Original, I reckon.


OOC: I haven't really been tracking that.


OOC: That rule is in place to prevent cheating, which I don't think Xrayman was trying to do, so we'll let it slide.

Sir Henry Chandler The III

That seals the deal for me, gent's. With all the evidence we have been compiling for Jim, plus the fact that he stopped our efforts yesterday to search, I say Jim is our best bet at a wolfie.

Chandler tosses a card, painted completely black, Jim's way

Hope your ready to die, Wolf. Alexander, Black, and Dawson, all of you had best watch yourselves as well. If Jim turns out to be innocent, I'll make sure one of you faces the death sentence tomorrow night.

Jim Jackson
Allow me to make three points as to why I'm not a wolf. I'll start with the weakest.

1: I Was fooled by Jeb, he tricked me. Not too much more I can say on that.

2: I have rope. Why would I need more?

3: As someone pointed out, I hung Gor'bad. Yet I didn't make the case, and I was one of the last votes for him. So I did some hangin', and I'm a man. I was also the one that caused Glenn's fate.

Martin Westbrooke

Well, these are certainly some interesting new developments. I'll change my vote to Jim, for now.


Well, we should be able to find out easily enough if you really are who you say you are. Like I said on the day we voted for Jebediah's execution, I have a feeling that if someone did something like this, something very bad would happen. Jebediah claimed to be someone he wasn't, yet he suffered no consequences. If you suffer no consequences similarly, i think we can assume you're lying.

And by the way, you didn't hang Gor'badd. The group as a whole put the noose around his neck, and Glenn kicked the stool out. Why lie about that?

OOC: Xrayman- role claiming is totally allowed. So not sure where you were going with your consequences statement.
Llewelyn Moreau
Interesting developments. I guess I'll switch my vote to Jim. I still don't feel very good about this at all. Don't trust Alexander further then I can throw 'im. He's been a bit too insistent in emotional appeals rather then logical ones. But I guess we will know tonight either way.
OOC: Edit: clarified some language.

Martin Westbrooke

On a slightly different tangent, Dawson established the case against Jim earlier today and Ellington jumped on it fairly quickly. Here are the possible scenarios I can figure for that.

1. Dawson and Ellington are both innocent, and Jim is a wolf. Possible.
2. Dawson and Ellington are both wolves, and Jim is innocent. Unlikely. Not only would the wolves not risk drawing attention to themselves by building a case against an innocent, but a second wouldn't flock to it so quickly so as to avoid arousing suspicion.
3. Dawson is a wolf, Ellington is a (misguided) innocent, and Jim is innocent. Unlikely, for the same first reason in the second scenario.
4. Dawson is a (misguided) innocent, Ellington is a wolf, and Jim is innocent. Possible. Ellington could be using Dawson as a shield. By creating the case against Jim, if he turns up innocent the suspicion would go to Dawson, not Ellington (or so he thinks).

At this point, I find it hard to believe that Dawson is a wolf in any situation. I don't think that he'd be so stupid as to lead a rally against Jim before he was even strongly suspected, nor do I think (in the off-chance he is a wolf) that he and Ellington are in cahoots. It doesn't make sense for them both to work on the offense so early against Jim. At this point it's looking like Jim will die, however if he turns up innocent Ellington should be our first suspect. We could also try pulling a double with Ellington and Jim, however they cannot both be wolves and would ensure at least one innocent death.

OOC: Northwind says in the OP that role-revealing is allowed, however he said previously that the consequences of role-revealing would be left up to his own discretion. So, I guess we can make of that what we will .

Jim Jackson
I speak the truth

OOC: Blech, sorry. Totally misread .

Martin Westbrooke

Be that as it may, it still doesn't prove anything. You aren't the one who hung Jebediah today...why would that be if you really are who you claim?

I'll admit that that point is curious, but is hardly solid. Like I said, Glenn was the one who hanged Jebediah, and we're just supposed to take your word on the other points.

Anyway, the point about the rope is a good one. However, I don't think that the person asking for those things lived in the Flophouse. Why not? Well, if the requests on the paper were those of someone who lived in the Flophouse, why would it be in the Flophouse itself? If they were that person's request, they would be elsewhere (given to someone else to get the items mentioned). There are two possibilities here:

1. Two of the wolves live in the Flophouse, and one gave the note to the other. This is unlikely, because if they both lived there, why couldn't they just speak to each other? Even so, if there were indeed 2 wolves from the Flophouse, the note wouldn't necessarily apply to you...it could apply to the other.
2. The note's requests are those of a wolf who lives elsewhere, given to the one in the Flophouse. This is far more likely.

Jim Jackson
It's easy to prove if I'm lying. I'm claiming to be the extra vote on Glenn. If I'm lying, which I'm not, the real extra vote could catch me.
I will plead for my life no longer. Good luck everyone, you're gonna need it.

Martin Westbrooke

I don't see what you're getting at. Please elaborate.

Jim Jackson
Genn and Jeb were doubled because of me. Someone used an extra vote. I'm claiming to be that person, if I'm lying the real Hangman could catch me on that lie.

Consuela Salvatore

I do not believe that the accusation against Senor Jackson for the fight last night is any indication of being furry... It's in his personality, amigos. Strong, and stubborn, just like our Texan amigo Senor Rusk. He did not vote to be there; only Senor Chandler and myself did.

I can see that nobody sees as I do about the execution priorities. So be it. Senor Aces, por favor, chalk up my vote to the one I think is gunman: Senor Ellington. Senor Rusk has won me over - the need for rope in the note makes little sense if Senor Jackson is furry.

Martin Westbrooke

They could, but that would involve the real Hangman being put in danger of the wolves. Either way, if someone did try to catch you on the lie, it's not like he'd have any way of proving it, either.

Martin Westbrooke

I don't see any way that Dawson could be a wolf...in doesn't add up. If we're fairly sure that either Ellington or Jackson is a wolf, then we need to make up our minds. The note found at the Flophouse doesn't make any sense for Jackson as either the writer or the recipient, however could apply to Ellington as the recipient (again, if the note was written by someone in the Flophouse, it doesn't make any sense for the intended recipient to be there as well).

Jim's claim to be the Hangman can't be backed up, though it should be taken into consideration. If he is indeed a wolf and is trying to lie about his identity, why choose the Hangman instead of the Angel or any other innocent?

I originally thought that Ellington best fit, and I still think that he fits the bill. My vote goes back to Ellington.

Consuela Salvatore

The note was not written by Senor Springfield, as he was found to be just a minion. But it was written by someone familiar with the town and the contents of the general store - and so, not from the flophouse. That is one of the reasons I settled on Senors Black and Dawson as the suspects for the archfurry.

Put in danger? The one extra vote has been used. I'm sure the wolves could find a better target than a Hangman without an extra vote.

Can we at least double me with someone? Consuela, most of the time, you have been right, so my vote will go to Ellington.

Martin Westbrooke

What are you talking about? One extra vote? You're saying that the Hangman is only allowed to do one extra vote over the course of our time here?

Honestly, you seem (or claim) to know a lot about the Hangman. I don't remember our host ever telling us anything about how these people operate. Unless you're making this stuff up, I find it hard to believe that you could be so well informed...unless of course you really are the Hangman.

Something's just not right, I'm inclined to believe that Jackson is who he claims to be. Ellington is the only reasonable suspect remaining. We have less than 45 minutes before the end of the day; I implore you all to change your votes to Ellington.

Martin Westbrooke

Oh, I'll also throw my hat into the search of the Saloon.

Jim Jackson
Yes, I only get one extra vote while we're here. Thank you for believing me, but let's face it, I'm done for. The best we can do is take Ellington with me, and even that's not looking good.

Martin Westbrooke

Jackson knows far too much to be a pretending wolf, and the note found at the Flophouse doesn't even apply to him! There's no reason he should die tonight. We need two people to switch from Jackson to Ellington to change the execution...please step up, people.

OOC: What kind of voting percentages are needed for a single execution or double execution?
