<span style='font-size:15pt;line-height:100%'>IT IS NOW DAY FIVE, POST AWAY.</span>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Almost a month had passed since <i>UnderDOG</i> had died. It was the night of the full moon once again and the group felt more content. After all, by now they must have killed any and all werewolves among them. “Think we’re safe enough to sleep together tonight?” <i>Condizzle</i> asked.
“Probably, but we’d still better not risk it.” Answered <i>Renegade.</i>
Nodding to each other, the six remaining members went off to their separate ways for the night. <i>Sky</i> noticed that <i>Pithlit</i> once again hid something beneath his shirt as they walked off.
As the night grew, the full moon came out. It was clear and its glow lay fear upon their backs. <i>Condizzle</i> in particular however, felt secure that they had killed all of the werewolves by now. He looked up at his tree bed he usually slept on during the full moon. It was well hidden, a remarkably good hiding spot actually, but it was very tricky to climb to. And <i>Condizzle</i> was very tired. “I’ll probably be fine sleeping near the bottom tonight.” He said. And with that he went to sleep.
A couple of hours later <i>Condizzle</i> awoke from a light sleep hearing rustling through the leaves near his bed. “Wha – who’s there!?” He asked.
There was no answer. In fact, the entire area became silent. Irritated, <i>Condizzle</i> stood up and looked to the source of the rustling behind his tree. He saw what was making that sound. “Oh crap.”
Turning around he started running as fast as he could away from the werewolf. He could hear it catching up on him effortlessly, he was no match for it in speed. Knowing he was already dead, <i>Condizzle</i> turned around and leapt at the werewolf hoping to at least damage it in some way. The werewolf not seeming to expect this act, got scratched on the knee as <i>Condizzle’s</i> fingernails sank into it’s hide. This made the werewolf angry, taking a swipe at <i>Condizzle’s</i> back, he ripped it open leaving a large hole in his back. <span style='color:red'>Condizzle</span> stared back at the werewolf in pain and suffering. The werewolf took a lunge at his head, biting it off and swallowing it in one bite whole.
The werewolf howled. It awoke the remaining humans, and it let them know. They were still not safe.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is now Day Five. Day Five will end at <b>Wednesday February 2, at 9:00 PM EST.</b> (Not many people left, you don’t need that long to vote.

Because I've narrowed down the possible wolves. This late in the game, I guess it's pointless to keep it secret any longer: I am the psychic. UnderDOG was the first wolf kicked out, meaning there are two left, namely Renegade and Necroscope. I trust Pithlit, because Condizzle and imlost trusted you, and I told both of them I was the psychic. It is unfortunate that you two are left instead of them, because I haven't talked to either Pithlit or Necrotic much (to be honest, I've messaged Necrotic a couple times via irc, but I don't recall him responding...) I trust Necrotic because a) a wolf would make sure to at least cast <i>some</i> kind of vote all the time, and b) Condizzle trusted you.
Also, both Pithlit and Necrotic helped Condizzle and I vote out UnderDOG, a wolf, so it's definite in my mind who the last two wolves are.
Renegade tried from the beginning to underhandedly discredit Comprox (the "thanks Comprox" statement, and interrogating Comprox via irc in that log that Comprox posted). Necroscope has basically been an attatchment vote to either Renegade or UnderDOG, showing that the 3 had to be communicating: 2 of them (Necroscope and one other) would vote for the person most likely to be axed, while the other threw his vote away to avoid suspicion.
A very clever plan, in fact it's possible they didn't even intend to coordinate things this way, but Renegade I have to say was instrumental in screwing up who I personally voted for. I believed whole-heartedly that BadKarma and/or Comprox were wolves, but alas I was wrong. Of course, they didn't present themselves as well as they could have....but some of Renegade's commentary was the kicker that made me vote against Comprox. Then, once I realized that Night that Comprox <i>wasn't</i> a wolf, I figured BadKarma <i>had</i> to be a wolf, because I viewed the two of them as leading separate camps. Again, I was wrong. Clever clever bunch you wolves have been, poking your noses in just long enough to stir up something, then quickly retreating to let two humans battle each other.
That's it, the cards are on the table Necrotic and Pithlit. Since both of you know that you yourself is not a wolf, you obviously know that the other is not a wolf, because you both voted for UnderDOG last round. And look at the two that voted with you: one was axed (and was obviously human), the other is now claiming to be the psychic (that would be me). Now look at who didn't vote with you: Necroscope and Renegade. They have to be the wolves. No other combination makes sense. There really isn't much else I can do to convince you. <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->

My comment, "Thanks Comprox <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->" was a genuine thanks, seeing as <b>he was one of two people who was willing to talk to me when the game first started</b>. Everyone else simply sat silently or became very laconic whenever I tried to talk to them.
Second of all, I never voted against UnderDOG because <b>no one ever gave me a reason to</b> (That and Qwest DSL West has been dropping me on and offline for the past ****ing week, making it very difficult to post on the boards). Whenever I asked someone why they were voting him off, all they said was "He's not active enough". Which I thought was pretty stupid, seeing as the same could be said for a few people still in the game, but no action was taken against them. For example, Necrotic almost never said anything, and only popped in to vote against someone and then vanished. Very suspicious if you ask me.
Third, the reason I would sometimes vote with Necroscope was because <b>he was the second of the two people to be willing to talk to me in the beginnning</b>, so it's only natural that I trust him, and take a few cues from him as well.
You, on the otherhand I've never been able to accurately gauge. You only spoke to me once, after Comprox was lynched, in which it seemed you tried to make me have some sort of Freudian Slip. All the while I was talking to you, you always took an inordiante amount of time to reply, which I thought was odd, seeing as there was only 7 of us in the channel at the time: Me, You (Sky), Freak83, Petco, Comprox (post lynching), the Channel Server, and <b>Necrotic</b>. And when I PMed Necrotic in the channel to ask him why he voted against me earlier, he didn't respond. When he DID, he apologized and explained that he had been talking to someone on IRC.
So, in conclusion my vote goes to you <b>Sky</b>. Afterall, if you were a wolf you could easily claim to be the pyschic without being challenged. The only person who could refute this would be the pyschic himself, who is probably already dead. Like your reason for me, I'm voting because you're a wolf.

He's talking about a small riddle I posed to imlost, Renegade, Condizzle, and The Necroscope a while back. At the time, I still thought BadKarma and/or Comprox were wolves, so I thought Renegade and Necroscope were clear, but I wasn't sure which is why I chose to put it in a riddle. It was something along the lines of, "Do you know the play "Oedipus Rex"? I am the friend of Crayon." Once again, unfortunate that neither Condizzle nor imlost made it far after that. Actually, it's amazing that I made it far after telling two wolves this riddle - the answer is very clear. <u>Creon</u> is a character in the play, and he introduces a psychic to Oedipus. I was just planting seeds that I could later use to prove myself the psychic. But it doesn't matter now, the humans have made the right choice. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Wow i'm impressed with all these theories and accusations flying around. Especially that long winded post by Sky. ;-)
In all honestly, and you don't have to believe me because it's just that type of game, <b>all</b> my votes have been 100% random via a system similar to that of
!8 is <name here> a wolf?
That we all (Condizzle especially) seem to enjoy using in irc. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
If I had to "do a Sky" and name who I thought were wolves then i'd go for "Sky" and "Pithlit" with Renegade close behind.
But again, these are mostly random because i've been too busy either messing about in irc or trying to get my pc to stay on for more than 10 minutes without making weird noises.

<span style='font-size:15pt;line-height:100%'>IT IS NOW NIGHT SIX, NO POSTING.</span>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was still night, the full moon went behind a large patch of clouds. “They’ll be humans now.” <i>Sky</i> said looking up at the swallowed light in the sky.
Determined to end this tonight, <i>Sky</i> went forward looking for the others – any of the others. He heard rustling coming towards him. Turning around he saw <i>Pithlit</i> coming towards him. “They’re coming!” <i>Pithlit</i> shouted as he ran towards <i>Sky.</i>
Stopping and looking around, the two of them stood in the dark forest as three other figures approached. <i>Necrotic</i>, <i>The Necroscope</i>, and <i>Renegade</i>, everyone was together for the full moon. “Where’s <i>Condizzle</i>?” <i>Renegade</i> asked.
“The wolves howl, he must be dead.” <i>Necrotic</i> answered.
“Who here is a bloody wolf? I thought they must all be dead by now!” said <i>The Necroscope</i>.
“Who do you think it is <i>Sky</i>?” asked <i>Pithlit.</i>
<i>Sky</i> didn’t even answer. He merely looked <i>The Necroscope</i> straight in the eye. <i>Pithlit</i> didn’t need another cue. Revealing the item he had hid beneath his shirt, he took out a silver stained knife and lunged at <i>The Necroscope.</i> <i>The Necroscope</i> being prepared also took out a similar knife and wielded it to <i>Pithlit’s</i> blow. The rest of the group stepped back as <i>Pithlit</i> and <i>The Necroscope</i> began to duel with the werewolf killing knives. “Sorry it had to come to this pal! But I trusted you enough to make two of these blades!” <i>Pithlit</i> said taking a swing at <i>The Necroscope.</i>
“Don’t feel bad about it old friend, I wouldn’t want to have to kill you without a fighting chance!”
<i>Pithlit</i> took the offensive with the blades, pushing <i>The Necroscope</i> back and back, until he was leaning against a tree with no room to duel. “It doesn’t have to be like this <i>Pithlit!</i>” <i>The Necroscope</i> said grinning.
“Sorry, but yes it does.” Responded <i>Pithlit</i>.
With that he stabbed the silver stained knife right into <span style='color:red'>The Necroscope’s</span> heart. His eyes bulged and he coughed up blood. But within a few seconds he slumped against the back of the tree dead.
Sighing in relief <i>Pithlit</i> took a deep breath and sat down staring at the corpse. “We must be safe now guys… Guys?”
Looking around the area, everyone had disappeared. Ten minutes later there were two very distinct sounds. One was the howl of a wolf, the full moon glowed once more. The other was the sound of a boat honking in the distance.
The remaining four members of the group decided to themselves, this would end tonight.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is now Night Six. I need PM(‘s) from (any remaining) wolves, the Seer (if alive), and the Guardian (if alive). The Psychic (if alive) will be receiving their final PM from me tonight.
Night will end as soon I get my PM(‘s) and can post the next story. Should be within 24 hours.

<span style='font-size:15pt;line-height:100%'>IT IS NOW DAY SIX, POST AWAY.</span>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <i>Pithlit</i> looked around the area, where had everyone gone? In the near distance he heard a scream, but he couldn’t tell who it was. Holding out his knife and ready to make another kill if necessary he walked towards where he had heard the sound of the wolf howling. “Come out, come out wherever you are…” <i>Pithlit</i> said quietly.
Very slowly and quietly <i>Pithlit</i> walked forward around the trees, until he heard a rustling sound on the ground. Holding out his knife, he leapt out and blindly stabbed the knife into the creature making the sounds. There was a loud squeal and <i>Pithlit</i> looked down. He had killed a boar. “No…” <i>Pithlit</i> said taking the knife and running.
<i>Pithlit</i> then heard another sound, he heard the honk of the boat again, it was closer to the island than it was last time. Ignoring the fact that there may be a werewolf around, he started walking forward to the beach carelessly to try and see the boat. He could see the clearing to the beach as he walked, it was getting closer and closer. He almost reached it when – <i>snap</i>. <i>Pithlit</i> turned around and reached for his knife, he held out it out as the werewolf jumped towards him. “DIE!” <i>Pithlit</i> screamed slashing the knife at the wolf.
The blade left a nasty cut in it’s arm, but with it’s undamaged hand it picked <i>Pithlit</i> up and threw him against a near by tree. “Ugh…” <i>Pithlit</i> moaned lying with his back against the tree. He couldn’t move any of his body except for his head. He had lost all feeling. The knife fell out of his hand and fell to his side uselessly as the moon went behind another cloud and the werewolf turned into a human before <i>Pithlit’s eyes.</i> “You…” He said in pain staring at the werewolf human.
“You heard the boat, tonight I will escape from the island, but you and your fellow humans will perish. A new reign will dominate the world from this day forward. A reign of werewolves.”
He walked forward and picked up the silver stained knife which lay next to <i>Pithlit</i>. “Silver… my enemy, plotted to be used against me. It will be your downfall tonight.”
<i>Pithlit</i> gave a weak laugh spitting out blood. “Maybe I won’t live after tonight, but the others will make sure you die.”
The werewolf stared at him blankly, for a moment. He then effortlessly stabbed the knife into <span style='color:red'>Pithlit’s</span> heart, and went to go meet up with the last two living humans.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is now Day Six. This will be the last day in the game. The day ends when a player has <b>two votes against him.</b>
The fate hangs in the balance as necrotic is forced to cast the final and deciding vote. Will he choose to believe sky and kill Renegade? Or will he think it's just a ploy for sky to save himself? Either way, he knows that if he's right, he and one other human live on, but if he's wrong, not only will another human be killed by human hands, but he himself will die as well.
(based on the assumption that necrotic is human, which he might not be in which case everything is pretty bad, but I can't make any biased statements so this is the disclaimer)
second disclaimer: it's not like I'm swaying the result by typing this.

Near the border of the jungle to the beach <i>Sky</i> and <i>Necrotic</i> saw <i>Renegade</i> running towards them to meet them. “Where’s <i>Pithlit</i>!? I can’t find him anywhere!” <i>Sky</i> said.
“Well…” started <i>Renegade.</i> “I could make up some stupid excuse, but there is no point in playing this out any further. I – killed – <i>Pithlit</i>!”
“You….. you’re the werewolf!” <i>Necrotic</i> shouted running towards him.
In a lightning quick maneuver, <i>Renegade</i> held the silver stained knife to <i>Necrotic’s</i> throat, and stopped him from moving forward. “No no no, you don’t attack me. Now that you two know the truth, I am going to have to kill you.”
As <i>Renegade</i> spoke those words the moon once more came out from behind it’s cloud, <i>Renegade</i> stared up at it in the night sky and his eyes began to glow yellow. He seemed to lose his senses as the moonlight took hold over him and fur began to sprout from his body. “<i>Necrotic</i>, he can’t concentrate! Grab the knife and kill him before he changes!” shouted <i>Sky</i> from back.
<i>Necrotic</i> reached to grab the knife and took it, but the change was already complete before he could offer <i>Renegade</i> a final blow. <i>Necrotic</i> jumped back in fear and stood beside <i>Sky</i> facing <i>Renegade</i>. “Now what do we do man!?” <i>Necrotic</i> asked.
<i>Sky</i> looked at the werewolf who was staring him right back in the eye. “I bet he likes fast food… <i>Necrotic</i>, you have the knife – make this count.”
With that, <i>Sky</i> ran off towards the beach and <i>Renegade</i> turned his back to <i>Necrotic</i> and started chasing <i>Sky</i>. It suddenly dawned on <i>Necrotic</i> what <i>Sky</i> expected him to do. With all of his remaining strength, he gripped the knife by it’s blade and threw it as hard as he could to <i>Renegade’s</i> back. The knife flew through the air and it struck its target dead center as a howl filled the night. <i>Sky</i> stopped running and turned around to watch as <span style='color:red'>Renegade</span> collapsed to the ground and turned back to a human. “You…. I can’t believe you…………”
<i>Necrotic</i> walked over to where <i>Sky</i> was and looked down at the last werewolf dead. “We did it.” He said shaking. “We beat them at their own game.”
“Hey, you lads! What are you all doing here!? This island is supposed to be deserted – oh my god.” Said an old fisherman as he saw them with them with the corpse.
<i>Sky</i> and <i>Necrotic</i> smiled. They had survived, they had won, and their nightmare was finally over.

Almost a month had passed since <i>UnderDOG</i> had died. It was the night of the full moon once again and the group felt more content. After all, by now they must have killed any and all werewolves among them. “Think we’re safe enough to sleep together tonight?” <i>Condizzle</i> asked.

It is now Day Five. Day Five will end at <b>Wednesday February 2, at 9:00 PM EST.</b> (Not many people left, you don’t need that long to vote.
Instalynch is at <b>3</b>.
Players still left in the game:
Renegade
Necrotic
The Necroscope
Pithlit
Sky
In that case... I cast my vote for <b>Sky</b>
Anyway... I kind of thought this would happen. So good luck humans. Kill those wolves!
Erm... I shouldn't be talking as I have no head.
I trust Pithlit, because Condizzle and imlost trusted you, and I told both of them I was the psychic. It is unfortunate that you two are left instead of them, because I haven't talked to either Pithlit or Necrotic much (to be honest, I've messaged Necrotic a couple times via irc, but I don't recall him responding...)
I trust Necrotic because a) a wolf would make sure to at least cast <i>some</i> kind of vote all the time, and b) Condizzle trusted you.
Also, both Pithlit and Necrotic helped Condizzle and I vote out UnderDOG, a wolf, so it's definite in my mind who the last two wolves are.
Renegade tried from the beginning to underhandedly discredit Comprox (the "thanks Comprox" statement, and interrogating Comprox via irc in that log that Comprox posted). Necroscope has basically been an attatchment vote to either Renegade or UnderDOG, showing that the 3 had to be communicating: 2 of them (Necroscope and one other) would vote for the person most likely to be axed, while the other threw his vote away to avoid suspicion.
A very clever plan, in fact it's possible they didn't even intend to coordinate things this way, but Renegade I have to say was instrumental in screwing up who I personally voted for. I believed whole-heartedly that BadKarma and/or Comprox were wolves, but alas I was wrong. Of course, they didn't present themselves as well as they could have....but some of Renegade's commentary was the kicker that made me vote against Comprox. Then, once I realized that Night that Comprox <i>wasn't</i> a wolf, I figured BadKarma <i>had</i> to be a wolf, because I viewed the two of them as leading separate camps. Again, I was wrong. Clever clever bunch you wolves have been, poking your noses in just long enough to stir up something, then quickly retreating to let two humans battle each other.
That's it, the cards are on the table Necrotic and Pithlit. Since both of you know that you yourself is not a wolf, you obviously know that the other is not a wolf, because you both voted for UnderDOG last round. And look at the two that voted with you: one was axed (and was obviously human), the other is now claiming to be the psychic (that would be me). Now look at who didn't vote with you: Necroscope and Renegade. They have to be the wolves. No other combination makes sense. There really isn't much else I can do to convince you. <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Well it seems a few people have been missing. I checked IRC just to see who was there, and no one was really there. Maybe some people are busy or so, but it's so close to finishing <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
I'd like to point out that I've believed Renegade is a wolf from the beginning, there's just something about him that screams "man eating wolf"
However this round my vote goes to <b>The Necroscope</b> purely because I believe Sky
I trust Pithlit, because Condizzle and imlost trusted you, and I told both of them I was the psychic. It is unfortunate that you two are left instead of them, because I haven't talked to either Pithlit or Necrotic much (to be honest, I've messaged Necrotic a couple times via irc, but I don't recall him responding...)
I trust Necrotic because a) a wolf would make sure to at least cast <i>some</i> kind of vote all the time, and b) Condizzle trusted you.
Also, both Pithlit and Necrotic helped Condizzle and I vote out UnderDOG, a wolf, so it's definite in my mind who the last two wolves are.

Okay, first of all I never tried to discredit Comprox at all. My comment, "Thanks Comprox <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->" was a genuine thanks, seeing as <b>he was one of two people who was willing to talk to me when the game first started</b>. Everyone else simply sat silently or became very laconic whenever I tried to talk to them.
Second of all, I never voted against UnderDOG because <b>no one ever gave me a reason to</b> (That and Qwest DSL West has been dropping me on and offline for the past ****ing week, making it very difficult to post on the boards). Whenever I asked someone why they were voting him off, all they said was "He's not active enough". Which I thought was pretty stupid, seeing as the same could be said for a few people still in the game, but no action was taken against them. For example, Necrotic almost never said anything, and only popped in to vote against someone and then vanished. Very suspicious if you ask me.
Third, the reason I would sometimes vote with Necroscope was because <b>he was the second of the two people to be willing to talk to me in the beginnning</b>, so it's only natural that I trust him, and take a few cues from him as well.
You, on the otherhand I've never been able to accurately gauge. You only spoke to me once, after Comprox was lynched, in which it seemed you tried to make me have some sort of Freudian Slip. All the while I was talking to you, you always took an inordiante amount of time to reply, which I thought was odd, seeing as there was only 7 of us in the channel at the time: Me, You (Sky), Freak83, Petco, Comprox (post lynching), the Channel Server, and <b>Necrotic</b>. And when I PMed Necrotic in the channel to ask him why he voted against me earlier, he didn't respond. When he DID, he apologized and explained that he had been talking to someone on IRC.
So, in conclusion my vote goes to you <b>Sky</b>. Afterall, if you were a wolf you could easily claim to be the pyschic without being challenged. The only person who could refute this would be the pyschic himself, who is probably already dead. Like your reason for me, I'm voting because you're a wolf.
Ohhh the tension!!!
Oh that. He's talking about a small riddle I posed to imlost, Renegade, Condizzle, and The Necroscope a while back. At the time, I still thought BadKarma and/or Comprox were wolves, so I thought Renegade and Necroscope were clear, but I wasn't sure which is why I chose to put it in a riddle. It was something along the lines of, "Do you know the play "Oedipus Rex"? I am the friend of Crayon." Once again, unfortunate that neither Condizzle nor imlost made it far after that. Actually, it's amazing that I made it far after telling two wolves this riddle - the answer is very clear. <u>Creon</u> is a character in the play, and he introduces a psychic to Oedipus. I was just planting seeds that I could later use to prove myself the psychic. But it doesn't matter now, the humans have made the right choice. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
flying around. Especially that long winded post by Sky. ;-)
In all honestly, and you don't have to believe me because
it's just that type of game, <b>all</b> my votes have been
100% random via a system similar to that of
!8 is <name here> a wolf?
That we all (Condizzle especially) seem to enjoy using in irc. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
If I had to "do a Sky" and name who I thought were wolves
then i'd go for "Sky" and "Pithlit" with Renegade close behind.
But again, these are mostly random because i've been too busy
either messing about in irc or trying to get my pc to stay on for
more than 10 minutes without making weird noises.
All in all, it's just a game, "GL + HF!".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was still night, the full moon went behind a large patch of clouds. “They’ll be humans now.” <i>Sky</i> said looking up at the swallowed light in the sky.
Determined to end this tonight, <i>Sky</i> went forward looking for the others – any of the others. He heard rustling coming towards him. Turning around he saw <i>Pithlit</i> coming towards him. “They’re coming!” <i>Pithlit</i> shouted as he ran towards <i>Sky.</i>
Stopping and looking around, the two of them stood in the dark forest as three other figures approached. <i>Necrotic</i>, <i>The Necroscope</i>, and <i>Renegade</i>, everyone was together for the full moon. “Where’s <i>Condizzle</i>?” <i>Renegade</i> asked.
“The wolves howl, he must be dead.” <i>Necrotic</i> answered.
“Who here is a bloody wolf? I thought they must all be dead by now!” said <i>The Necroscope</i>.
“Who do you think it is <i>Sky</i>?” asked <i>Pithlit.</i>
<i>Sky</i> didn’t even answer. He merely looked <i>The Necroscope</i> straight in the eye. <i>Pithlit</i> didn’t need another cue. Revealing the item he had hid beneath his shirt, he took out a silver stained knife and lunged at <i>The Necroscope.</i> <i>The Necroscope</i> being prepared also took out a similar knife and wielded it to <i>Pithlit’s</i> blow. The rest of the group stepped back as <i>Pithlit</i> and <i>The Necroscope</i> began to duel with the werewolf killing knives. “Sorry it had to come to this pal! But I trusted you enough to make two of these blades!” <i>Pithlit</i> said taking a swing at <i>The Necroscope.</i>
“Don’t feel bad about it old friend, I wouldn’t want to have to kill you without a fighting chance!”
<i>Pithlit</i> took the offensive with the blades, pushing <i>The Necroscope</i> back and back, until he was leaning against a tree with no room to duel. “It doesn’t have to be like this <i>Pithlit!</i>” <i>The Necroscope</i> said grinning.
“Sorry, but yes it does.” Responded <i>Pithlit</i>.
With that he stabbed the silver stained knife right into <span style='color:red'>The Necroscope’s</span> heart. His eyes bulged and he coughed up blood. But within a few seconds he slumped against the back of the tree dead.
Sighing in relief <i>Pithlit</i> took a deep breath and sat down staring at the corpse. “We must be safe now guys… Guys?”
Looking around the area, everyone had disappeared. Ten minutes later there were two very distinct sounds. One was the howl of a wolf, the full moon glowed once more. The other was the sound of a boat honking in the distance.
The remaining four members of the group decided to themselves, this would end tonight.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is now Night Six. I need PM(‘s) from (any remaining) wolves, the Seer (if alive), and the Guardian (if alive). The Psychic (if alive) will be receiving their final PM from me tonight.
Night will end as soon I get my PM(‘s) and can post the next story. Should be within 24 hours.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<i>Pithlit</i> looked around the area, where had everyone gone? In the near distance he heard a scream, but he couldn’t tell who it was. Holding out his knife and ready to make another kill if necessary he walked towards where he had heard the sound of the wolf howling. “Come out, come out wherever you are…” <i>Pithlit</i> said quietly.
Very slowly and quietly <i>Pithlit</i> walked forward around the trees, until he heard a rustling sound on the ground. Holding out his knife, he leapt out and blindly stabbed the knife into the creature making the sounds. There was a loud squeal and <i>Pithlit</i> looked down. He had killed a boar. “No…” <i>Pithlit</i> said taking the knife and running.
<i>Pithlit</i> then heard another sound, he heard the honk of the boat again, it was closer to the island than it was last time. Ignoring the fact that there may be a werewolf around, he started walking forward to the beach carelessly to try and see the boat. He could see the clearing to the beach as he walked, it was getting closer and closer. He almost reached it when – <i>snap</i>. <i>Pithlit</i> turned around and reached for his knife, he held out it out as the werewolf jumped towards him. “DIE!” <i>Pithlit</i> screamed slashing the knife at the wolf.
The blade left a nasty cut in it’s arm, but with it’s undamaged hand it picked <i>Pithlit</i> up and threw him against a near by tree. “Ugh…” <i>Pithlit</i> moaned lying with his back against the tree. He couldn’t move any of his body except for his head. He had lost all feeling. The knife fell out of his hand and fell to his side uselessly as the moon went behind another cloud and the werewolf turned into a human before <i>Pithlit’s eyes.</i> “You…” He said in pain staring at the werewolf human.
“You heard the boat, tonight I will escape from the island, but you and your fellow humans will perish. A new reign will dominate the world from this day forward. A reign of werewolves.”
He walked forward and picked up the silver stained knife which lay next to <i>Pithlit</i>. “Silver… my enemy, plotted to be used against me. It will be your downfall tonight.”
<i>Pithlit</i> gave a weak laugh spitting out blood. “Maybe I won’t live after tonight, but the others will make sure you die.”
The werewolf stared at him blankly, for a moment. He then effortlessly stabbed the knife into <span style='color:red'>Pithlit’s</span> heart, and went to go meet up with the last two living humans.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is now Day Six. This will be the last day in the game. The day ends when a player has <b>two votes against him.</b>
Players left in the game:
Renegade
Necrotic
Sky
You get the worlds fate in you hands.
But if you do the right thing, you´ll suffer deeply for it.
i´m surly up for round 2 ^^
The fate hangs in the balance as necrotic is forced to cast the final and deciding vote. Will he choose to believe sky and kill Renegade? Or will he think it's just a ploy for sky to save himself? Either way, he knows that if he's right, he and one other human live on, but if he's wrong, not only will another human be killed by human hands, but he himself will die as well.
(based on the assumption that necrotic is human, which he might not be in which case everything is pretty bad, but I can't make any biased statements so this is the disclaimer)
second disclaimer: it's not like I'm swaying the result by typing this.
Well chaps, it's been a giggle annoying you all with my tentative approach to this game but hell, I'M STILL ALIVE AREN'T I BWAHAHHAHAHAHA.
My vote once again goes to <b>Renegade</b> so now this is over let's see if I can get my scrawny **** off this island or wether my gut instinct has let me down.

“Well…” started <i>Renegade.</i> “I could make up some stupid excuse, but there is no point in playing this out any further. I – killed – <i>Pithlit</i>!”
“You….. you’re the werewolf!” <i>Necrotic</i> shouted running towards him.
In a lightning quick maneuver, <i>Renegade</i> held the silver stained knife to <i>Necrotic’s</i> throat, and stopped him from moving forward. “No no no, you don’t attack me. Now that you two know the truth, I am going to have to kill you.”
As <i>Renegade</i> spoke those words the moon once more came out from behind it’s cloud, <i>Renegade</i> stared up at it in the night sky and his eyes began to glow yellow. He seemed to lose his senses as the moonlight took hold over him and fur began to sprout from his body. “<i>Necrotic</i>, he can’t concentrate! Grab the knife and kill him before he changes!” shouted <i>Sky</i> from back.
<i>Necrotic</i> reached to grab the knife and took it, but the change was already complete before he could offer <i>Renegade</i> a final blow. <i>Necrotic</i> jumped back in fear and stood beside <i>Sky</i> facing <i>Renegade</i>. “Now what do we do man!?” <i>Necrotic</i> asked.
<i>Sky</i> looked at the werewolf who was staring him right back in the eye. “I bet he likes fast food… <i>Necrotic</i>, you have the knife – make this count.”
With that, <i>Sky</i> ran off towards the beach and <i>Renegade</i> turned his back to <i>Necrotic</i> and started chasing <i>Sky</i>. It suddenly dawned on <i>Necrotic</i> what <i>Sky</i> expected him to do. With all of his remaining strength, he gripped the knife by it’s blade and threw it as hard as he could to <i>Renegade’s</i> back. The knife flew through the air and it struck its target dead center as a howl filled the night. <i>Sky</i> stopped running and turned around to watch as <span style='color:red'>Renegade</span> collapsed to the ground and turned back to a human. “You…. I can’t believe you…………”
<i>Necrotic</i> walked over to where <i>Sky</i> was and looked down at the last werewolf dead. “We did it.” He said shaking. “We beat them at their own game.”
“Hey, you lads! What are you all doing here!? This island is supposed to be deserted – oh my god.” Said an old fisherman as he saw them with them with the corpse.
<i>Sky</i> and <i>Necrotic</i> smiled. They had survived, they had won, and their nightmare was finally over.
