I was thinking about a little story called: A poor boy who almost burned his brains in a game, and just didn't know, where to start. Happily Morm gave me this nice start:

That was the clue in my game. I just couldn't believe this dAY2 stuff: it was too weird anyway. The only rational explanation I could come to, was the "two Owls"-solution - which I voiced out a couple of times, wishing you others to comment on it, to no avail... I mean: that was just too stupid gaming to a goose! If he had something to hide, why didn't he tell us a lie of a dream another time (Spawn-one would have been one already!!!)!!! He was just too real Owl to be the pretender!

I tried the goose-Mith -stuff, to get some reactions from you, to help me make my mind about this stuff, but that seemed to be a dead end too. Even though Glirdy looked so genuine, Mith had given us two innocents ( one of them Spm!!! ), but nothing more: a duck (or a goose) could give them anytime! No-one wished to comment on it. Was it so smoothing to have things clear in the village as not to bother with contrasting points of views? Why didn't I believe in myself in the end? Oh, why?

Just total "Headbangers Ball"-stuff all the game! Nothing seemed right - and I was so frustrated when no-one wanted to listen!

So in the end I started to disbelieve it myself, and kind of started to believe you others (I thought, I couldn't be the only one seeing it, so I was seeing ghosts) - what a mistake! That just let Spm off my radar the two important days: I was looking elsewhere, thinking, I would have time to settle things with Spm before the end. That end came then quickly enough... And I admit, that the thought of Spm being the goose almost never reached my mind (I merely thought of him as a good company in the duck-hunt, or the duck himself). So beautifully the general consensus of things derailed me, and I'm pretty ashamed of that...

But really: I should have seen so many things! If they (Mith & Glirdy) were both Owls, there was the goose left. I even wrote this in at least one post. But I didn't care about it enough myself, but went after easier things! Or Spm's gradual case against me! He started it one or two days earlier: first with casual notes, then pressing all the more. Why didn't I attack him back yesterday? Just some convenience: I'll deal with those attacks (and maybe launch a counter-attack) tomorrow, as I can't be sure. And this day was just a catastrophe! I also tried to say on the last morning, that do not vote hastily, as there is the chance of the duck capitulating on the vote - but still I hadn't quite grasped the situation, where the goose and the duck could just make it together, if they trusted each other (or another one of them trusted).

So once again: fantastic game: Sauce, and Kath!

And as I have said before: I really enjoyed this, even though losing this way kind of frustrates...

This was probably the weirdest game I've ever been in. And it was worth it!

Thanks everyone!

PS. And to the speculations: had Roa, Sleepy etc. been in the game? Well, we never know but one thing: it would have been different! That's the thing: you can't play the same game twice - or have a same game with changing people! So much fun then!
