Since we've not much to go on, I for one say the foul beast must over compensate during daylight hours. That cowardly sot might be, but since we've all reason to be aprehensive, my vote is on the one playing feline.

These seem to be the only votes so far...
Spiderman: rokapoke
turgy22: EricBess
Melkor: Ransac
Ransac: EricBess
If you haven't voted yet, be sure to do so. The sun will set soon and someone must be hanged.
Also, when voting, to make sure I don't miss your vote, bold the name of the person you're voting for.

I will cement my vote for EricBess.

EricBess is led to the gallows and the noose is shoved unceremoniously around his neck. From his countenance, it is easy to discern that he is displeased with his present situation, but that's to be expected. The sun will set soon and the beast will assume it's true form. Well, hopefully just one beast. It could be two if you chose incorrectly. So which is it? We'll soon find out, but first, EricBess has time to deliver his last words on the subject.

Quite the contrary. I'm happy to go. If the people of this town are determined to be condemned to death by this situation, I gladly accept a fate of a quick, relatively painless death over that of being torn limb from limb by a foul beast.Oversoul;284718 said:

Someone releases the trapdoor. But he was probably done with his speech anyway. You watch intently, but no transformation occurs. Have you killed an innocent man? A minute passes. Another. EricBess is looking rather dead, but not at all how you imagined a werewolf. More like a human, actually. The certainty sets in: you have failed. Following certainty, the sun sets. There is snarling and roaring and howling from all directions. It's gotten too dark to make out who's who and you have a hard time even telling left from right what with the barrage of sound bouncing off all the grotto walls. After running around screaming for a few minutes, you find your homes, bolt the doors, and hide your heads under the covers. It's not enough to block out the awful sounds though. You won't be getting much sleep tonight.

The echoes make it impossible to get any sleep. When you realize the sun has risen and it's now safe, you leave your homes and check things out. The first order of business is to see who's missing, which is easy enough. It turns out that the Spiderman was not also a Wolfman. Very little is left of the body, but he's the only one missing, so it must be him. You bury what's left, which is easy enough. You cut the rope poor EricBess is hanging from and he falls into the quarry the gallows are suspended over. You bury him under some rocks in time for breakfast, but most of you have lost your appetites and two of you are probably already satiated. So now all that's left to do is try again. The wolves may have won last round, but it's not all over yet.
This day will end on Wednesday, July 1st or thereabouts.

Dastardly fiends! First Oversoul and now Spiderman... crime is out of control and today is our last chance to stop it.
Obviously we made a mistake in putting poor EricBess to death... although he seemed to prefer that alternative to my company. Now we need to use our knowledge of his demise to catch the beasts that plague our town.
I'm not going to be so hasty in making accusations this time, but Ransac, rokapoke and Mooseman all stand out as potential wolves to me. Melkor cast his vote early enough that things could have swung in any direction, so I suspect he's clean.
Mooseman cast his vote last and when things really didn't matter, which always makes me suspicious, but I also think if he was a wolf, he would have voted for another wolf to throw us off the trail. But then again, he might have used that same logic again to throw me off the trail just now.
That leaves Ransac and rokapoke, who are the two I most strongly suspect. Both of them quickly jumped on my vote for EricBess when the only other people with a vote were... Ransac and rokapoke. Spidey getting killed last night makes me additionally wary of the person he had voted for.
So these are the facts right now. Catman will delay his decision until he hears what the other townspeople are thinking.
Rwawr!

I lament my unfortunate vote for EricBess, condemning an innocent man to an undeserved death. We can take some small consolation in the fact that the werewolves did not get the satisfaction of killing him.
Thinking back on the previous day's clearly unsuccessful vote, I can't take my mind away from Ransac's overwhelming cowardice. I think Melkor may have had it right; it is a little over-the-top, is it not?
On the other hand, a "cat" act is no less unusual. Perhaps turgy22 is trying to overcompensate?
Melkor kept a cool head throughout the day's events. Too cool? No panic in the face of death? Perhaps he had no werewolf-induced death to fear...
Mooseman stayed awfully quiet, like turgy22 pointed out. Attempting to sit out the debate to avoid drawing suspicion is rather suspicious, methinks.

Overcompensate? Catman didn't ask to be Catman. But when I was clawed by that radioactive, genetically-modified cat and given my awesome feline powers I knew that I had to use them for the benefit of the citizens of Grotto Labyrinth. For with great power comes great responsibility... and hairballs. I get a lot of those now, too. *Hack*

Ah Ha, now the accusations fly. EB was too protective of the "cat" and seemed to be shielding his brethren of terror..... then voting for that same said cat! seems he was just a misguided do gooder......
Now on to the last accusations....
Ransac was the first to point at anyone and that would be a good strategy for a fiend... start everyone being suspisious of a misguided innocent.
Spidey seemed to have pointed the finger a bit quick and died for his error..... ??
Turgy did not vote for EB first , but was the deciding vote for him...... just under the radar.
Rokapoke was the first and most vocal to accuse EB... was he making noise to hide spidey's vote for him????
Melkor is just vocal.....
I'll will once again wait to see how you all act before casting a vote... the last one I cast went awry, so this one can not....

I heartily agree with Melkor. While I try not to make judgments based on a fair citizen's personality, it seems obvious based on his previous vote that Ransac is a fiend in our midst. To act like a scared little mouse only makes his crimes that much more appalling. We must put him to death immediately before he strikes again!
But first, since he chooses to act like a scared little mouse, we must bat him around playfully for our own amusement.
Turgy22 begins slapping Ransac in the face.

If we're to be wrong again, it may as well be (largely) unanimous. I'll vote against our "coward," Ransac.
*Ransac looks at everyone pointing at him.*
I... I... I...
*Ransac tries to hold back his tears and takes a big gulp to try to help him speak.*
I don't wanna die.... I don't wanna die.... I have a... horrible problem speaking in front of people... and am afraid of saying the wrong thing... I can't upset them too much... they may come after me....
*Ransac stares timidly at Melkor, confused.*
I could've been killed last night.... why didn't I.....?
Ransac, cpa trash man
