It was a splendid game, despite some hard time of understanding between some innocents (I thought people do know by this time that the phrase "Legate 180" which you have made up yourselves comes from the moment when I was innocent). And it was especially nice for me to play after some break (since autumn, I think). Well played, everyone - I think I am not exaggerating if I say that people on all sides really played to the best of their abilities this time. It was a tough one.

I have been thinking about it (after I died and Lommy told me about her new role) and I think it wasn't that unbalanced. It was really just that the set of coincidences ended up in all cases in the best way for the village. But there were things which could have failed on the line so many times - wrong dream, disbelief from the village's side, even up to Lommy being lynched... She was also very careful not to say anything that would raise too many eyebrows. I mean, if she had said "and btw, Wolves can't probably kill me at Night also", the village would surely have started being a bit more suspicious about her claim. Not to speak of more things she could have said. In general, yes, I think the Acolyte could have been somehow less powerful - it was basically a huge boost to whichever side she'd choose to be on - but I can't honestly think of a way to make it still equally possible for her to win the game while giving her less powers.

Eexactly my words. I mean, of the four, I think Pitch would be among the last people I'd leave alive in the village, if it was up to me, maybe along with Sally and Lottie - and maybe I'd even let Sally go before him. I was quite suspicious of Boro (who however managed to get off the village's hook) and Shasta (who almost managed the same after my death, which I don't really understand; what was the village thinking? Later the topic of the Day was the Acolyte's dream, of course, but still, starting the Day by saying that Shasta is basically cleared...) And all the Bom-proposals... Shasta, was it really your plan to make us all who said "we hate random votes" to vote him, or was it supposed to be originally just your own, private excuse for your own vote?

I was at least capable of suspecting Nog (unlike in Pitch's case), even though I pretty much trusted him initially... more so than Eönwë... once again, sorry for that disbelief!!! But let this truly be a lesson to everyone, if you are convinced of someone's guilt, you really aren't looking left and right, especially if they out of the blue come with the claim that they are the Seer, you're just "oh no, seriously? Don't be silly...").

I about died laughing on Day 2 watching you guys scramble around because of the narration of She Who Walks Among the Stars. Great job, Nerwen!
Quite so. I think such a plot device is very good and I'd have nothing against it being used more often.
But see, I said so! At least something I was right about in this game.

Indeed! The claim "Inzil is the Acolyte - the EVIL Acolyte - who killed Eruhen!" was the most ridiculous stretch I have ever seen in the whole WW history!!!

Eek... totally.

Yes. You shouldn't. She is. Always.

I really don't know how I give it away, and I was trying to fix it for this game, because I told the pack that Legate knew my honey-coated wolvish behavior quite well. I think it's just an unconscious vibe I give away, and don't intend. Innocent-me, I don't care what happens to me, night-kill me, lynch me, trust me, I don't care I'm going to annoy people and just hopefully it's the wolves. Wolf-me, tries very hard not to be suspected.
Indeed, that's how it was Specifically: In that one game, I was pursuing Boro because of that, but he retorted by such a desperate defense (which he kept for like the whole day, if not more), that I started reconsidering and was like "okay, sorry, didn't want to upset you..." But after that, he turned out to be a Wolf indeed and told me that I should have held to my claim. So I told him that from then on, I am never going to let myself talked out of it if he does that again.

Anyway, it was really a great game. And even though I haven't been playing for some time, I still think I can say that it was one of the best games I've played "lately" (read: from the games I have actually played).
