Well done folks! that was a very enjoyable game to follow. Wish I'd been in it now although, as I was away over Easter, it would have been impossible as it turned out.

Just wanted to say a few things, really:

First, I thought the Shaman role worked out really well. So many possible but not quite definate unknowns. Well done on coming up with that Farael. I am sure that the Shaman will see action again in future games. And well done, Naria, for playing the role so well and making such good picks. You really excelled yourself in that game.

Secondly, I cannot for the life of me work out why you Orcs did not kill Zali instead of D18 that night. I realise that there was a possibility of discrediting her, although the longer she was around with no real Ranger coming forward, the less likely it was that she would be lynched. And also, it was only a matter of time before the Shaman dreamed of her. I also realise that you were after the Shaman, but wouldn't it have been better to get rid of the known innocents until you had a firmer fix on her? I'm just interested to hear what you reasoning was on this.

One more thing. Orcs, you played really well. I did not suspect JennyH at all, and she was really just unlucky. Nice attempt at confusion, by the way, just before you died. It's a double-edged sword, though, as , while it can lead the village into all sorts of red herrings, a few did manage to spot the one Orc on your "dangerous innocents" list. And I am proud to say that I spotted Roa and Caran from fairly early on. You both seemed to be posting a lot without saying very much, which is not your usual style (and, although I haven't played with either of you yet, I do keep an eye on these things). That's not to say at all that you didn't play well. You both did. Very well. It's just that it doesn't happen very often that my suspicions are right. In fact, I think I'm better at spotting Wolves/Orcs as an observer than as a player.

And boy, Roa, can you be aggressive.

And I take back what I said about Were-Orcs. It actually worked quite well. And, as we are shortly to be terrorised by Were-Ducks, well Orcs do seem rather fearsome in comparison ...
