Enough of your petty squabbles. There is work to do. I vote Plat our Braumeister, let our toils in these fields not be wasted on tiny village politics.

However, if we do not have at least THREE barrels of beer this eve, we hang 'em as a drunk and a fool.

I will harvest Barley, but I will pay no hang man his boots today.

But either way an innocent person dies, would it not be in our best interest to at least attempt to kill the monster?

I have heard from the town-crier from Off-Topicton that it is better to die innocent than to suffer locked up in a village terrorized by werewolves for the rest of your lives.

The people of Off-Topicton would not proclaim such falsehoods!

Surely we must lynch the monster, but who is the foul beast?

Sure there must be a way to figure this out...but alas, several of out townfolk haven't weighted in. There's nary anything to go off of at this point! I say we hold off on the hangings until we have heard from more people.

I believe it's also important that we keep organized on who is gathering what so that we may limit waste.

Thus, for Harvesting we have:

Messieurs Dechain, Fofistin, and Fettius for Barley

Messieurs Mackey, Wastel, Bobbington, and myself for Hops.

If only the werewolf would just tell us who he is, we could like, counsel him or something. Mkay? So when you're ready to stop killing people and be a good student, just come up here and we'll help you, mkay?

I vote for Edward as the Braumeister as well!

I also vote for many wenches.

You honestly think we could stop a monster like this through counseling?! Absurd.

Any choice on which crop to Harvest, my good man?

If I read the rules right, it only takes a single vote for lynching? Someone could go rogue here and start the lynching early?

Gentlemen, I apologize, but I am forced to be driving for the next three hours. I will return after that time, but I do have an idea to out the werewolves. If this works, we could be free of this curse. Our three brethren he should start sweating, for this is a foolproof plan. Your days are numbered, bitches.

Screw it, I don't want to chance being late. I realized, my mind is too dangerous for the wolves, and they will kill me tonight. So gentlemen, somebody round up a gun and silver bullets, and we will each take a shot in the foot. This will out the werewolves, and will just leave the rest of us in a little bit of pain.

Unless a larger majority votes against a lynching. That's how I take it.

But once one of us names a name, somebody will die...

Yes. Only cast votes are counted.

So if one person votes for a person and 3 vote for no lynching and no one else votes, there most likely is no lynching. Perhaps the moderator Magistrate could clear this up for us?


Also, I vote for no lynching the wenches.

I think we will need Manchu in here to clarify how voting not to lynch goes.

Sir Magistrate, a point of order is called for!

In addition, I will volunteer to be the first to take the silver reaction test. I have nothing to hide from anyone.

A potential Braumeister Elect must be willing to do himself anything he would ask of others.

No, Edward, it was my idea, and I will take the first bullet. Although I shouldn't have anything to prove by suggesting it, I want everyone to know my innocence.

I, "Mighty Joe Dakka", put forwards my own name as braumeister. Having imbibed so much beer over my years as a uni student, I urinate the stuff. And it's still good enough to drink. So vote for me, and I'll ensure that we have a never-ending supply!

Until we decide upon who will best lead this great village forwards, I will be harvesting hops, as I would not be caught dead unwilling to do work that I will require of others.

Also, villagers, friends, we need not lynch anyone...except for Mr. Mackey! His incessant moaning and 'mkays' will draw the werewolves to us like mosquitos to the light, and surely bring about our doom. We must stop his incessant muttering to save our town! I saw this in the puddle of ale that I left on the side of the road after my last trip to the pub. There is no truth but the truth I see left in my puddles of 'beer'! No truth but the yellow truth! Mr. Mackey must fall to save this town!

I am aware that you do not wish to lynch anyone, but it is for the greater good. The man doesn't even wish for us to drink, because "Beer is bad, Mkay". Is this the kind of man we want in Lammheim? Someone who hates the very nectar of the gods, the lifeblood of our town? I say gather your courage, and let us set upon him to save our village!

Oh god, I think I just got blinded by the image of you pissing beer.

Would that mean we'd be swilling piss and pissing swill?

Also, Mr. Dakka, is there a crop you would wish to harvest in the chance you are not voted in? I would hate for us to survive the creature only for the town to suffer the Count's wrath...

Swill? I never! I drink the finest exotic beers from far away lands, stags and cupids and golden crosses and more. I combine these into a most potent, most superbtactular brew that you can all enjoy if only you vote for me!

Good sir, I said

I will be harvesting hops,

Your being hard of hearing makes me feel safer with you though, as all know a werewolf has sharp senses. You would, in fact, have my vote, if I wasn't certain that my brew was more impressive.

Tis a family affliction I gather. My grandfather was famous in his time for the hearing horn made from the antler of a great stag he'd killed in his prime. Tore apart the trophy head to do it, but his memoirs say it was worth it. The blasted thing is still on display in my study, my mother won't let me remove it.

And as we all know, the fiends aren't burdened with such things as the hellish dark magic that created them wipes away the good, natural diseases and ailments given to us by God hisself.

In Answer To Severall Queries, Lately~

How A Lynching Shall Be Acomplish'd

First, a simple majority of votes shall be requir'd to lynch.

Second, the majority is reckoned of the votes cast and not of votes that could be cast.

Third, the vote shall be tabulated at the end of the Day.

Fourth, no lynch shall result should the vote be tied.

Fifth, the production of Beer being Essential to the proper constitution of the County, the Bräumeister shall be Empower'd to decide ties such that his vote shall counteth as if twice should the vote be otherwise even.

Sixth, no man shall be liable before the laws of this County in regard to murder for lynching a Werewolf, Witch, or othere such Undesirable.

Thank you, good Magistrate.

Who will join me in my quest to save the town from Mr. Mackey? Will you, Mr. Bobbington? Will you, Edward Platuan IV? Without your support and the support of others in this town in this endeavour, we will surely be lost!

Mackey is a pretty good guy. He helped me through a lot of problems last week. But seriously, he needs to do something about his dog: the thing sheds like crazy, and I swear it gave me fleas. I've never seen it, but the fur and knawed up bone in the corner are a dead give away that he's got a puppy somewhere. Was probably off playing in the woods when I went for my counceling session.

Brothers, brothers, let us not war with one another. If there are fell beasts among us, the truth shall soon be known and ye may act accordingly.

Be at peace and see to the harvest.

I am Brother Himmeldenker, a humble servant of God. I am here to tend to your souls, however, as a simple friar, I will gladly help with the harvest. For it is a fact that the soul cannot flourish without an occasional (or frequent) mug of beer.

I am new to your village so I will not take sides, yet, in your debate over Braumeiesters. All seem worthy. For a brewer of a fine dark beer is cherished in Heaven (and Fiddler's Green).

I will roll up my sleeves and harvest Barley side by side with ye today.


To summarize:

I will harvest barley.
I have no vote for Braumeister.
I vote not to lynch anyone today.

Whoever dies tonight, it will be upon the heads of those who did not vote to rid our good township of Mr. Mackey. I hope you can live with yourselves for condemning an innocent to death, and may yak have mercy on your souls.

I'm to understand that if someone dies, we get their wenches....
