*whispered* Year last, in the fall, Rebecca Parker Complaind of Old Gill treating her wors than any other person had & said he did go after her besides his own wife & that his wife was jealous . She seemed Exceedingly troubled when she related her tryals but swor she would Bring Ruin upon him... twas a horrd look indeed she gave Old Gill, and the morn next... (looks around) *whispered even softer* We were informd about 10 hour next morn that our friend Old Gill had Cutt his Throat with a Shave in so horrible a manner that no hopes of his life remain . I went to his house about 1 o Clock, found he was Expired . I feel, Rebecca Parker to the test should be put . Afore she... *turns and sees Rebecca Parker* *runs*

-A.W.

(if we're going to vote randomly, might as well make it good)

[Robert Osborne]

By the tongue, it would seem those witches are Swedish. Do Swedish people exist yet? I would not want to stray from historical-- ur rather, modernical accuracy. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Being not one to disobey God's Own Will, I shall vote: Rebecca Martin, the truly wicked creature she may or may not be.

[Faith Bishop]

What a horrid place to live - we must purge the town of such evil.

vote: Richard Hawthorne - first morning witch hunt vote

[Charles Smith]

ISE

[Faith Wilkins]

And I hadn't even confirmed.....
Go my brethren of evil!!!! wreak havoc on this little town...

[Abigail English]

it would be better if you didn't post all that fluff, it just makes it unclear who has real infromation and who is bullshitting us. and it's really annoying to read.
vote: Arthur Wilkins

[Samuel Parker]

Vote: The evil Robert Johnson

[Peter Hawthorne]

[Arthur Wilkins]

So much for adding colour and flavour.

Random Vote: Rebecca Parker

-A.W.

[Samuel Jacobs]

These aliases confuse me

Vote: Arthur Wilkins

[Luna]

[Hiram Bishop]

I will cast my vote for Elizabeth Martin

She did speak of being insanely jealous. As I am sure all of the good citizens of this town know, jealousy was prohibited by Our Good Lord, and we ought to strive to remove such evil from the town. Why in the Good Book, Galations 5:20, jealousy is spoken of in the same verse as witchcraft as one of the acts of sinful nature.

[Mary Black]

Vote : Robert Johnson

(yes, I meant to post under this name)

Hm. Apparently, the witches practise the little-known "Jeff K" form of magic.

More like 'groza-style vowel changing' magic from the old soap operas bwehehe

[John English]

Vote: Robert Johnson

first round bandwagonning

[Ezra Williams]

Vote Robert Johnson

[Elizabeth Martin]

With absolutely nothing to go on in this round, I would normally be quite happy to join a bandwagon, but I just can't bring myself to vote for someone called Robert Johnson. So:

Random Vote : Richard Hawthorne

[Faith Bishop]

I have a friend who has a friend who told him that Robert Johnson eats children for breakfast and turned his next door neighbour into a goat.

vote: Robert Johnson

[Arthur Johnson]

I can't believe it. I've thought my father had been acting strange, but, sob, sob, I can't believe ...

Unvote: Rebecca Martin
Vote: Robert Johnson

[Robert Osborne]

Well I do recall hearing rumours of Robert Johnson making a deal with the Devil. unvote: Rebecca Martin, vote: Robert Johnson

[Samuel Parker]

Confirm Vote: Robert Johnson

[Charity Parris]

My, I was always under the impression that only women were witches, but then again, we may have warlocks here in town as well too I'm assuming.

I don't see any good logic to go with current bandwagons, I'll random vote for now though...
vote: Mary Black, the name just sounds evil.

[Hiram Corey]

I shall have to vote for Richard Fawthorne as well; it will give me more information than I can gather from following the Robert Johnson mob.

[Peter Jacobs]

So who is more suspicious, those that try to start a bandwagon or those that try to stop one? On day one I'd think the latter. So I'll follow the vote: Robert Johnson bandwagon, and find out if they're justified in trying to turn votes away from him.

[Arthur Wilkins]

I'd really like to hear what Robert Johnson has to say...
-A.W.

[Elizabeth Smith]

So would I. Although I do believe enough of the town is already against him that he is as good as tied to a stake.

------------------
Witches which?

[Peter Jacobs]

Or at least locked in the stocks.

[Arthur Wilkins]

First, we give him a fair trial. Then we burn him.

-A.W.

[Robert Johnson]

Apologies my fellow townsfolks, I had been hiding from the witches in a secret room in my home and hadn't noticed that dawn had broken. I would like to assure you all that I am not a witch. I am willing to subject myself to a weighing against a chicken to prove it!

In the meantime I will weigh the case against me and refute it.

[Robert Johnson]

Well, it appears there is no case against me really...

[Hiram Bishop]

I do wish to inform the community that I believe my hearing is failing. A curse must have been placed on me by one of these foul and evil es. But I have no memory (read, cannot see the posts) of the last several pieces of conversation. If anything important has taken place, I hope you will excuse me for not contributing to the death of a .

[Ezra Johnson]

I'm sorry, if you truely are not guilty, but I am loath for long first days, and with so many of our upstanding citizens wondering if ye be one of the devils, then I be thinking a better defense would be in order. Like I be saying before, I loath long first days, and this one seems to be gettin an over quick.

Vote: Robert Johnson

------------------

[Robert Johnson]

What better defense can I provide? I fear I am a coward. There is a secret room in my house in which I feel secure. Unfortunately, it is so well hidden that I cannot see the sun rise when I am in it. I remain in my hidey hole until I feel secure that the night has passed.

OMGUS vote: Samuel Parker for he tries to cast doubt upon my good name without any evidence!

I can hide every other night, however, the day after I hide, I cannot post until some unknown amount of time has passed. Basically, I just keep trying to log in until the password gets changed back.

[Hiram Corey]

So sorry, I seem to have misread the name of the player I was voting for.

Richard Hawthorne gets my vote today.

[Charles Smith]

vote Richard Hawthorne

Trying to start up another bandwagon for the RJ voters to switch to, RJ may be lying but if so he is very, very clever.

CS

[Richard Hawthorne]

What are my fellow townfolk trying to do to me? Do not act hastily, dear people. I am as terrified as ye be, and as desirous of catching a witch this day. But look not at me. I've seen another member of our fair community appearing mysteriously in other places without means of getting there. This I do not understand.

vote: Arthur Wilkins

[Robert Osborne]

Are you not the legendary blues man Robert Johnson?? Or has he not been born yet? Oh I fear I have erred and I regretfully unvote: Robert Johnson.

[Faith Bishop]

my that sounds like a very good explanation

unvote: Robert Johnson

Are you any relation to Howard Johnson who has a guesthouse with a red roof?

[Arthur Johnson]

I apologize to my father for accusing him.
Unvote: Robert Johnson

Revote: Rebecca Martin
because God told me to.

[Arthur Wilkins]

funny. God told me Rebecca PARKER.
