OK, here's what it is.
We will start the day with nine villagers; I will give the seer a random pick. Straw, you're in.
After I have generated the roles and the pick, I will send PMs to the wolves and the seer and then post that I have done so. If you did not have a PM from me, you are a peasant.
I have nine players:
Worm
ICJ
Pinback
Vitriola
gsdgsd
hygraed
Jack Straw
ChainGangGuy
Casual Observer
....strange that we didn't hear from Lysander. Lysander, if you want in, and say so before the lynching, I'll swap you in for Straw if he really doesn't care whether he plays or not.

PMs sent. Check your mailboxes.
Wait until I post the flavor text before deciding whom to lynch, please.

Birds twitter in the tall dark trees surrounding the tiny hamlet of Zahnburg, a town of only nine souls (plus an itinerant trapper, who, if he has a home, makes it in Zahnburg), nestled in the deep forests in the northern mountains of the Duchy of Hundenstein.
Hundenstein's principal exports are decorative beer mugs, intricately carved cuckoo clocks, and police dogs. Its primary industries are tourism and police dog training. It is renowned for its jagged peaks, its dark evergreen forests, its relative inaccessibility in the Internet Age, and its world-famous police dogs.
This morning, as the nine villagers assemble underneath the outlandishly large carved clock on the village square, they are shocked to discover a corpse.
It's AArdvark, the itinerant trapper. His throat has been torn out, and his blood has been used to crudely paint 'WHOSNEXT' in the dust next to his corpse. The letters are large and unsteady, as might be made by dragging a wolf paw soaked in blood. The large, bloody paw prints around the corpse seem to give credence to this theory as well. So, come to think of it, does the fact that his guts have been scooped out and a wolf pelt--clearly part of his latest haul--jammed into his abdominal cavity.
No two ways about it: Zahnburg is infested by werewolves. The villagers eye each other, and the gallows tree, speculatively.

No two ways around this, we obviously have to vote for the white trash American. Case solved!

And by that, obviously, I mean Jack Straw.
Jack Straw.

Look, DICK, I thought out my choice thoroughly. If it had been gay werewolf, it would have written 'WHOSGOTDIK'. If it had been me, I would have included the FUCKING APOSTROPHE, because I know how to FUCKING SPELL. Ghetto trash like CO would have written 'WHODATNEX'KNOWHADI'SSAYIN'?' Pinback would have gone on record as 'ONLY$50/OZHOTBLOODRATED120000', and gsdgsd would have gone with 'DIESIMMS'. ICJ would have said something about leveling up, CGG would have burned down the forest just for the hell of it, and you would have loved the disembowelment so much that it would have gone like "WHO'SNEXTBITCHEZMOTHERFUCKERSHUH???!!???' written in blood AND feces. DUH. Work with me here, I'm trying to help you.

I saw Jack Straw with a Chinese menu in his hand. Walking through the streets of Zahnburg in the rain. He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's. Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein.
Look, all of you. I saw Jack Straw DRINKING a Piña Colada at Trader Vic's!!! And his hair was perfect!
a-oooooooooooooooo! I vote for Jack Straw!

I'm not a FUCKING WOLF. I've ALWAYS been a cat person. Worm! Tell them I'm not a wolf! I gave you good times at the Brindlestedt Inn, didn't I? That weekend at the Stagleaf National Park? Dappling naked in the Rhinslager Ponds? I didn't even ASK when you wanted to borrow my dogs for a weekend, and they came back with their tails between their legs and a chagrined, yet saucy look in their eyes. WORM! You're the only one that can help me! Don't let the tide turn this way! Please! You're the only one I can trust. FOR THE LOVE OF THOR, CONVINCE THE OTHERS TO LOOK ELSEWHERE.

Kill Vit whether she is a werewolf or not.

You guys should kill some people that don't log on as much. If BBS The Thing had this feature we could have cleaned the palette from some undesirables. They know who they are.

Hey! I seem to remember a couple days with a Belgian tart and you somewhere in the shipping district of Tatgren. Ingrate.

Just to point it out:
Right up until the second of actually lynching someone, you can totally change your mind.
Not that you would, or wouldn't, want to in the current case.
Just saying that it's perfectly legitimate to get the bloodlust kicked off, and then give it a shove in another direction.

Vitriola is using my old "act like a fucking maniac even though you're a human" tactic.
And I was always a human.
So I guess I'll vote Straw.
STRAW IN 2006.

Don't you understand I am human and have always been?
When have I steered you wrong? See you in a future game I guess. Have fun fucking this one up too.

Jack is using my tactics from the last game of The Thing. Also, Vitriola has some funny posts. So even if she is the wolf, it's gonna be funny.
