A convenient bout of amnesia is no excuse, I'd suggest locking the fool up in the stocks for a night to teach him a lesson.

So that I may be easy pickings for the wolves who hunt at night? Hardly. I'll be spared the nightmares that will follow in the days ahead while the remainder will be decimated at the leisure of the predators who stalk the night.

And now this talk of wolves? He is clearly unable to separate his delusions from reality.

Perhaps you can separate yourself from your mother's teats and realize that reality is here and it is here to kill us all if we turn on ourselves. Nurse your ill conceived notions of delusion on the young, who know better than even the addled such as yourself.

Also good news! I am amending a prior post of mine for a vote related to harvesting.

I suppose if there is no other way to stop you causing mass hysteria, I vote to lynch Wrigglium B Gutworths III.

To reiterate:
I vote for Mr Cowvisage (motyak) as Brewmaster
I vote to lynch Wrigglium B Gutworths III
I am harvesting hops

Again, voting the same way as Corpses just did (on a phone, harder to go back and check proper names), but I'm harvesting barley.

End of Day One

The day has been marked with the revelation of secrets and psychoses. Above all has been the call for the blood of the most vocal of the village. Only a token number have shown to watch the spectacle, the rest fearful of the man and his ravings. The pastor approaches to offer a prayer and one final kindness but is waved off by the condemned. Thunder is heard in the distance and the crowd watches silently as the noose is slipped over his head and tightened. A sharp whiny as the horse is whipped and runs, releasing the body to gravity's hold. The rope catches his weight and with a sharp crack, a man's live is finished. Tense moments pass as they watch the body, hopeful but not truly expecting anything. Sadly, expectantly, the body remains as it is.

The crowd slowly disperses, most to their houses to prepare for the evening, some to the tavern to drown their superstitions and terror at what lurks waiting for them in the dark.

You elected to lynch Wrigglium B. Gutsworth III(WarOne). He was the Hunter.

Jon Cowvisage(Motyak) was elected Bräumeister. Please notify me of any Guard postings.

Due to unforeseen complications, Night One shall be shortened.

Beginning of Day Two

As dawn breaks, Schweinshagen hesitantly opens their doors to greet the day. They could hear nothing beyond the storm throughout the night, but would not let that allay their fears. As they emerge, they see no signs of mischief.

Had the curse not come to their town after all? Could the raving bandit have been the cause of the mayor's death, making it only appear that a beast had killed the poor man?

The villagers breathed a collective sigh of relief at the thought...

Four Barrels of Beer sit prepared with two bushels of Hops unused.

What a pleasant day that was... Good tidings that only the madman is now gone from among us.

I elect to harvest barley

I also vote cowsviage as brewmaster following his successful brewing!

We should all been wary, keep a keen eye on what transpires this day...

Indeed. I shall also harvest barley to even the stack, and vote cowvisage as Brewmaster.

If there are two for barley so far, I'll harvest hops. I'll also vote Cow as our brewmaster again.

Edit-confounded technology. If it's more advanced than my axe, I hate it!

Thank you people, thank you, between us we will get this done! And I'll harvest barley again, since that worked so well last time.

I'm quite glad that we removed Gutsworth before he could kill an innocent villager. I again will vote for Cowvisage as Brewmaster. Good job sir, you are carrying out your important role very well. And since all is even right now I will harvest hops and hope that soon another friendly villager will produce some barley to even the score.

That was a nice lynching!

Cowvisage for Brewboy. I will harvest some barley today.

It saddens me deeply to think of that poor fools fate but alas, there was no other way to stop his ranting. Today I shall continue to harvest hops and considering how productive our new Brewmaster has been I see no reason not to vote for Mr Cowvisage (motyak) as brewmaster.

I urge you good folk to have some mercy and spare anyone the rope tonight, there has already been enough killing.

Hops being unused leads me to suspect a hops farmer.

Surely logic would dictate that if Hops are unused then there is insufficient Barley? Perhaps one of the Barley lot spend too much time talking to the madman rather than doing their job.

Both are pretty shaky methods to establish guilt upon good sirs. We shall account for today's produce then perhaps implement one of your theories.

I shall harvest barley.
I too shall vote for Cowvisage as Bra-Meister given his excellent record.
As our fair town is at peace I shall not nominate a lynching vote.

I also advocate no lynching. We must focus as many hands on the harvest as possible. When this wolf slips up and leaves evidence, we will end its miserable existence with absolute conviction. Until then, harvest.

Agreed on missing supplies, I will harvest whatever the brewmaster asks me to: currently planning on harvesting hops. Nobody has given just cause to be lynched, so there is no reason to request it at this point. Cow for brew master.

Ooc: laptop died, only have phone, Joshi can cast my braumeister vote for lynch if he thinks someone deserves a good lynching, but try and be at least 30% certain :p should have it sorted tomorrow, just don't have the time/net to do this on my phone today, sorry.

Well gentlefolks, after some sleuthing I have deduced that one of these five villagers is a werewolf.

Hydrus Joneson (liquid joshi), Jon Cowvisage (motyak), Myself, Medius Denbrum (Medium of Death), John Doe (Hlaine Larkin mk2) & Martin Chains (timetowaste85). This being based upon the theory that there were 11 ingredients harvested, 6 hops, 5 barley and yet only 4 barrells of beer were produced leaving us with a surplus of 2 bushels of hops.

There may be another now, but we can be certain at least one lurks among these 5. I know that I am pure, but what of the others?

Medium, I sent the same message to Cow, one of our barley group is guilty. If not two. The only surety we have is the current innocence of Purple, Corpses, Lime and Catalina. I've asked Cow to place me to harvest where he sees fit, but if he is facing a technology dilemma, I will position myself to gather hops as previously stated. Cow for brewmaster again, nobody for lynching.

It takes two nights to transform someone: there is still only one wolf among our group. Numbers:
6 hops, 5 barley. 4 beer barrels made, means we're down to 2 hops and 1 barley. The barley was missing. This means one wolf. There are no additional ones yet. If there is a seer and they can figure the wolf today, we can end this nightmare. However, there would only be a 10% chance of that happening.

Well, I'm harvesting barley, since we need more of that...

I must assure my fellow villagers of innocence: yet it is impossible to prove unless we were to cut apart each person on the list. And as such since Our incumbent Braumaester is one the the list I can't vote for his re-ellection
Again I will vote for the Korpsmann for Braumaeter as we know he is innocent and surely a much safer vote than potential Lycan Cowvisage
I shall also harvest Hops and there is no need for a lynching just yet.

That...actually makes perfect sense. I will also cast my vote for Korpsman. I agree he is fully innocent, and should a wolf exist, I would expect him to put himself into a place of power. Cow did well the first night, but evidence proves he can't be trusted anymore than the rest of us barley harvesters. Korpsman gets my new vote. Korps, please tell me what you would like me to harvest.

John Doe makes an excellent point.

This may be deceit however. He may be praying upon the Korpsman in order to convert him to his fell cause...

We are in a pickle here gentlemen. I believe we should allow the non suspected villagers to choose a new brewmaster. Once they have chosen between the 5 of them we can vote accordingly...

Would knowing the guard help narrow it down?

We cannot know who the Guard was... it makes little difference as we will only know if this is truth by the end of this day.

I retract my vote for Cowvisage as brewmaster and propose the following.

That Catalina Hueros, Karl von Germanburg, Hydeous Johnson, Noobimus Maximus & Korpsman Arthur Funnington should choose a brewmaster from among themselves.

I would also like to cast suspicions upon Martin Chains for his hesitancy over which crop to harvest. Is he wishing direction to administer blame?
