The villagers are all seated, waiting for the Priest’s sermon to begin on this Good Friday. They are growing restless.
“Has anyone seen the Priest?”
“I wouldn’t know him even if I saw him.”
One villager notices a part of robe peeking out from behind the pulpit. He gets up from his seat to inspect it.
“Lord have mercy!” exclaims the villager, “It’s the Priest. He’s been..descerated..oh, I can’t look any longer.
A brave few come to examine their fallen leader. The floor is awash in blood that has gushed from where TDO was impaled. Ornate crucifixes are jutting out from his neck and his chest.
Day ends at 9:30 p.m.
5 votes needed for a majority, 3 minimum to be lynched.

===A GUN HAS BEEN FIRED===

The villagers march out of the church in shock, yet enraged. They arrive at the square to find Beau sitting on the steps of the gallows, filing his nails.
“Let’s finish this once and for all,” one shouts, “all in favor of lynching Beau?”
A unanimous response of “yes” is heard from all the villagers.
Beau begins to laugh.
“I’ve been around for centuries and have survived many an angry mob. Certainly ones more dangerous than the likes of you. You think I’m going to just hang around and oblige your fantasy of revenge? No, I think I’ll take my leave of this pathetic little village. Find myself one that’s a bit more talkative. At least somewhere more entertaining while I wait until nightfall.”
Beau transforms before their eyes into the Ancient Werewolf. He runs for the forest and is laugh-howling all the way. The villagers watch dejectedly as he makes his escape. All the villagers except one that is.

She casually reaches for her holster and grabs hold of her trusty .357 magnum. She just as casually take a half a second to sight her target from 150 yards away and pulls the trigger. Beau-wolf drops like a hot brick.
Melissa D holsters her gun. The villagers stare at her in awe.
“That’s…” she gets out before bending over and starting a hacking fit that last for a half a minute. She spits out a greenish-yellow wad of phlegm onto the ground between her dusty boots.
“That’s for getting me sick you wolfy piece of shit.”
VILLAGE WINS!

Jesus Christ, Melissa.

Sorry Beau and beezy. My continued inability to understand this game sure didn’t help.
-
Well Beau sure as shit threw us both away from day 2. I’m completely confused by his actions. We lost cuz he done lost his mind.
-
Starting Day 2, the entire village knew either you or Will was the charmer. So I thought I’d get out in front and appear villagery. I knew you were both wolves, of course. I wanted Will to die, but I didn’t want it to be obvious.
And then you posted your list that said Will — Wolf? Except if you had been a villager, you would 100% have known Will was a wolf. As a wolf you have to be willing to point out wolfy things your wolf mates do.
Either way, it didn’t matter what I did. Wolves didn’t have a chance this game after Day 1
-
I’m clear on how to be a wolf, thanks. Remember that time I won as the only wolf standing? Cuz I do.
I totally get not wanting to play with me as your second, instead of with Will. He’s much more knowledgeable about the game, and a much better strategist than I am.
But he was already going down. Already in the clank. And THEN you go, “Beezy – wolf!” The exclamation point! There was no reason to do that at that point. And that’s how you outed your own self as a wolf, too. So. This didn’t ride on Will or myself, is all I’m sayin’.
-
Sarah, your question mark on Will really is pretty damning. Also, me tying you two together was as much or more related to your response to him than what he said in the first place. On my end it feels more like a bad situation for the wolves than a bad singular play.
-
Yes on situation. Wolves were stuck in a very bad spot.
-
-

-
Also on the notes: I was blitzed the night I made guesses on the wolves. I remembered making that call the next morning but had no recollection of who I called as wolves. Figured it would be worth a laff when I read the notes.

-
First day ever that the mod was the only speaker?
-
Oooohhhhh….
That’s how a gun is supposed to work? Nice.
-
Thanks for picking up the vest that I’d given Beau! When Codefox said he’d just shoot Beau, all I could think of was “but I gave him a vest!!”. Nice work, Bret!
-
-
That one was crazy.
-
Thanks for the save, homeslice. Only person to survive 100% of Taciturn games! I’ll be famous!
-
No problem! Glad my bodyguarding ended up being effective somewhere.
-
I thought you would protect your fiance since spooky had nothing more to offer the village
-
Or yourself, since if you died your fiance could confirm more villager rolls.
-
I had very sound logic for protecting Spooky. At least, that’s what I tell myself. I think I realized the next day that Spooky was done gathering intel and I should have protected one of the other villagers instead. Fun fact, I considered protecting TDO on the night he died, but protected Bret instead.

I got 0 good info. So lucky I kept my mouth shut.

MVP!

Didn’t realize all the ways I still had a chance on Day 3. I just assumed all wolves were known and nobody would be stupid enough to use their gun.
-
Yes, seemed like you did still have chances, huh? 🤓
-
I didn’t either. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have included spooky in my list. I had planned to make a list with pretty much everyone as a wolf, but, alas, the day started while I was driving to St. Cloud*, so I only had time for that brief list while filling up the gas tank in Monticello.
*Had a case before the Minnesota Court of Appeals that was joint with a criminal case based upon the same set of facts. I believe my “co-counsel” on behalf of the county was Novak’s successor (not replacement, we all know he is irreplaceable) at his previous gig. Small world.

-
I can’t believe how gun shy everyone is. I think I passed the gun to nearly everyone.
Though, now that my sinus infection and bronchitis apparently turned into pink eye while I was napping, I’ll say this: Beau fucking deserved it.
-
You totally beat me to shooting the gun at the end 😀
-
Todahshy thanks you for that then, Melissa

Am I allowed to speak yet?

Check back with us next month.
