Yes. I was ing myself when the whole thing went . . . that way.

"Hey, I actually got some of my guesses spot on!" Then .

Actually, one and a half of you guesses were correct?

What?

You got the Mytho correct, and Oro's giftedness, too. But you got her role wrong.

Oh, yeah. Thanks, Alice.

I found Modding was most fun... I crave omnipotence. Or is it omnipresence? I'll settle for both.

Seriously, describing werewolf killings and public lynches is wonderfully fun!

By the way, on Day 3 I only got two PMs from LMP, and I think I lost them...

Ah well. He was saying what to do if the Seers were wolves pretending to be Seers. It was all horribly theoretical and complicated looking, so I decided to ignore him and hope the Seers were honest.

I agree about the Modding, TGWBS, sort of...

It's a mad blast narrating (I'm sure you could tell I was having fun writing, especially when it got to the A1 steak sauce part of Holby-kabobs), but that was countered by me unexpectedly getting a life for the one weekend I'd resigned to having nothing to do but mod. It all worked out though.

I still think Wolf was more fun because with Mod, you can't step in and tweak things. With wolf, you can mold the village to fit your whims. Unless they have two Seers and have dreamt of everyone. In that case, I wanted to suggest a really daring bluff saying that the Seers (or at least one) was really a bluffing wolf and that you knew this to be a fact because you were the true Seer. You'd wanted to stay hidden for safety's sake, but you couldn't watch a wolf trick the village when you KNEW they were lying.

This would turn it into a my word versus your word thing, which would be hilarious to watch, interesting for the wolves, interesting for the seers, and simply insane for the village. Can you only imagine?

But as a mod, I couldn't step in and do anything that could affect the game, so my audacious bluff stayed quiet. I note though that the Sherriffs thought of something similar happening. Props to them.

Anyhow... Can't wait to see Fire-non-Footie's deaths.

LOLOL! I still have that saved on my crashed computer, for what it's worth.

I'll just sum up: it would have been as stupid for the werewolves to say "Hey, WE'RE the two seers, not them!" as it would have been for them to do the same regarding the shirriffs.

*cough*

And it wasn't stupid to say "Fea's a wolf, you should lynch her" on the first day/first page of a brand new game where not only was I saying it, but I actually was a wolf?

People consistently underestimate the power of audacity. Also the the ingenuity of fools. Seeing as how it's forbidden to show absolute proof of role (such as PMs), it truly would turn into he said/she said. After that, it's just a matter of who you trust more.

If one of the wolves had claimed Seership early on, when Oro was still suspect, it could have worked out quite nicely for them.

I think there are two people that could say I'm a wolf and get away with it. You're one, of course, Fea the other would be Nilp.

Of course, now that the strategy's merit has been dissected, anyone could get away with it. Except me.

I think the only strategy that would get you past day 1 is to not post at all...but wait then we'd find you suspicious based on that....and it would be only you that would get lynched for not posting on day 1.

But on a serious note I have no idea why they thought you suspicious enough to lynch. When I was saying that in this game I meant it.

Untrue. That particular strategy will now be looked for. I doubt many could pull it off though, even before. Of course, it's always worth a shot. See, in order for it to work, you have to have several experienced players on your side. It's all a matter of what cards you are dealt and how you choose to play them.
