That was a very nice game, although I'm still slightly unhappy about having such bad luck with getting online. Well played everyone, special hats off to
Menel, the gifteds and
Nogrod and his awesome conspiracy theories...
Oh, and I'm sure you wish to hear my thoughts about the Days and Nights - and even if you don't, I've got to explain them to somebody!
Night1
I sent one longish PM to
Glirdy and
xyzzy, but neither replied - it seems they missed the beginning of the game. So we did not plot anything on Night1. (Except that I recommended to
xyzzy, that he maybe shouldn't be familiar with the nickname Lommy - I signed the PM as Lommy - since it is not 100% obvious it comes from Thinlómien: I actually said he shouldn't use that nickname before someone else does.
Xyzzy however did far more than that, pretending he had never even heard that name - and it worked miraculously well on one Day! Kudos to
xyzzy for that!)
Day1
Disclaimer: I did not intentionally disencourage anyone to vote
Glirdy! That never was part of my tactics. That "maybe too suspicious to be guilty" argument was brought because I thought I shouldn't look too sure so early - that's something that sometimes gives out wolf-on-wolf -votes... And even though
Mith hinted I might be revenging my fenrisity to the world, that was not the case either...
As quite many people said, it was the only reasonable vote to make at that phase - and I must confess that even though I had a feeling that
Glirdy might be lynched I didn't feel too bad about that vote.
Night2
That was an "ouch". I sent a PM to
xyzzy quite early, giving a list of who I would like to see dead (including
Brinn,
Legate and
Mith at least, if I recall correctly) and asked him to make the final decision and send it to
Menel. When I returned to the 'downs the next day, I had a PM from
xyzzy that said "I'm so confused, you play this game here so differently from what I've seen" and discovered that no wolf kill had been submitted. So, you see, missing the kill was plain confusion and bad timetables from our part.
Day2
Well, I had some problems in trying to sound genuine: this was the day when I realised how hard work it is to be a wolf when you have to fabricate all your thoughts and be consistent. I almost voted
Mac. I maybe should have...
Night3
I had an sms from
Nogrod that the Day3 was to begin late Monday night our time, not late Tuesday night as we (or I at least) had assumed. I had a problem. I have no net access home and all libraries were closed because it was Easter Monday. I wasn't sure if I could trust
xyzzy to be around and send a kill, because he had been so absent at times. I called my friend, who is also a member called
Aganzir here. I asked her some questions about what had happened on Day2 (I hadn't even read it through since I had been without a net access since voting that day), decided to kill
Brinn, and asked
Aganzir to send the kill to
Menel. She sent it and explained my situation, and obviously
Menel accepted the kill (which came in a quite extraordinary way). And I did not kill
Brinn because she had said she'd take a better look at me - I was not even aware she had said that. I thought she was trusted and might even be gifted. I also thought that killing her would not take any important potential ally from me nor point at me or
xyzzy. But actually I had received a PM from
xyzzy that Night "are you there? If you're not responding soon, I will be sending in the name of
Legate of Amon Lanc". I wonder what happened to
that kill, since
Brinn was obviously the one who died...
Day3
The misfortunes of that day have been explained on the admin thread...
Night3
Now this was something really funny. Again, I sent
xyzzy a list of people I thought we should kill and asked him to make the final choice. I fell for
Roa's trap and assumed she was the ranger. However - to my honour I must say the following - I didn't interpret
Roa's words "don't worry
Mac, the ranger will protect you at night" the most obvious way. I thought
Roa was the ranger meaning she was not going to protect
Mac during the Night. (I must admit it never crossed my mind why on earth would a ranger say something like this....) So I wrote to
xyzzy, that I'd prefer killing
Mac, because I thought the ranger wouldn't be protecting him that Night. I said that if he didn't want to take a risk he could make us kill
Roa, who is a known innocent and might even be a ranger or then the
Sixth Wizard to remove someone thought innocent and to create confusion. (I didn't want us to kill
Mith or
Nog because I hought they might be my potential allies the next day in case I was going to make some crazy bluff and contest
Mac's claim.) I wrote this PM at school. Then I went to spend the night with friend, and forgot about ww for hours. However, going home, a realisation hit me. I was 95% sure Roa was the hunter. It was still a few hours 'til the deadline. If I had had a computer with a net home, I would probably have contacted
xyzzy or
Menel and tried to prevent the
Roa-kill (since I was fairly sure
xyzzy wanted to kill her). But as I didn't have, I let the thing be (even though I might have asked
Aganzir to help me again, but I didn't consider it that important). I thought that
Roa's such a gambler that she might well hunt someone else than me. I was wrong. But isn't it quite ironic that we attacked someone I knew was the hunter and guessed that might be after me?
Seems it got quite long... ...
