Werewolf IIX - Tra la la lally, here down in the Saga, ha ha! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well played, all. I must say this was one really, really fun game. Even when I was killed, it was still fun to watch. Gurthang, I honestly had no idea that you were the werebear. I too thought you were just one of us wolves' innocent victims :-D

This was also the most mentally challenging thing I've ever done. Not only was I trying to figure out who was who, but I was also trying to do it in rhyme! This game has actually helped me to think on my feet, when it comes to poetry. I can write verse fairly quickly now, which is kind of fun. :-)

Saucepan Man, well played. I picked up that you were the Hunter maybe on Day 3 and of course, was afraid to kill you. I certainly wanted to take you out because you are one really, REALLY clever player, but since you accused so many people (myself and Gil included), I was afraid to kill you should I be your choice for the Hunting. That was my downfall--allowing you to live. Don't you feel special. :-D

I was almost positive LMP was the Cobbler until, of course, he died. You defended me quite a bit, my fellow poet! I was sure you had figured it out and were trying to protect me. :-D Durelin, did you know who the wolves were or did you have no clue at all?

Well, I hope you all enjoyed the poetry *shakes head, laughing* It may be a long time before I ever try to take on such a difficult task again. I hope it was amusing, at the very least. Thanks to all who gave me reputation points!

Arcticstorm, my comment about your being quiet was strictly in terms of gameplay, and compared to others (like <ahem> SPM

. I thought you played a great game, and made a noble sacrifice, although I did think that you fessed up your role a bit quicker than you needed to; after all, you did have defenders who were accusing me because I accused you. Now, didn't that make me feel frustrated!

Laitaine, I must admit that I played this game (despite others' kind words to the contrary) with my heart instead of my head. Compare my rabidness in this game to, say, IV, when I was a werewolf. Just ask Feanor of the Peredhilhow reasonable I was in that one! She actually called me out to show some emotion! So I defended you because you were a poet, and I really meant it. Cobbler! I hated that role before this game; now I love it. Once I quit being so "freakin' frustrated" over being suspected by everything by everybody (LOL), I really got a kick out of it. I am indeed most impressed that you kept up the versing while a werewolf. I couldn't pull that off..... and I was only shooting for doggerel!

Hamlet is lost beneath molten ashes,
leaving no sign of lycanthropic disaster;
may wizards be found who can magically master
the werewolvish scourge and Beorning slashes.

I admit that I really had no idea! I just didn't try too hard to get anyone lynched.

Lalaith · 08-26-2005, 01:41 PM

Gurthang my friend, it was a good job you killed me when you did, as not only did it save our Seer for another night - it turned out the internet access at my hotel was fairly limited and I'd have had a hard time participating as fully as I'd have liked.
And LMP, I'm sorry I kept accusing you of being the Cobbler. I was absolutely convinced, it all fitted together so well...but your rant is even funnier, albeit pathos-ridden, now that I know you were telling the truth.
Well played everyone - cigars all round!

Boromir88 · 08-26-2005, 03:31 PM

It was a very well played game to everyone.

Despite your loss Gurthang, I think you played the role well, there just wasn't much you could have done at the end. After Day 1 everyone just really assumed you were in character and were innocent. Well played, but with the nice plan Saucepan came up with, it pretty much assured your loss. Still a well played game.

mormegil, thank you for the compliments.

Well my dreams went like this...The thing is it seemed like anybody I dreamed of that night who was innocent, ended up dying that night, so it never really benefitted me or the village at all...except SpM that is.

Night 1- mormegil, more of just a random pick and my small accusation of him during the day I never saw as progressing much.

Night 2- Saucepan, I too got concerned as I saw him sort of taking control, just wanted to make sure what side he was on. Now, I wish I wouldn't have wasted that night, as I can see he left plenty of clues for his innocence, and the "Lets hunt some bear" that he was definitely the hunter. Well played Mr. SpM

Night 3- Gil-galad, if you notice the following day that was the only time I really made a suspect list. Because I had found Gil-galad that night to be a wolf. Though I did start pinning people down to certain roles towards the end of the game, in the beginning I did not want to list suspects just in case if I would die, because for the first couple days I was not on to anything and did not want to lead people astray. Then I found of Gil-galad's treachery, hence the first time making the suspect list.

Night 4- Wilwarin, sadly she died that night, so again didn't benefit anything.

Night 5- Nonnacedak, tried to save his life as he was going under suspicion, but I didn't want to draw too much attention to me as it could reveal who I was.

Night 6- Durelin, this night I contemplated between Durelin and Gurthang, and wish I chose my second choice. As Durelin was the Cobbler, and Gurthang was the true one we were going for.

Night 7- Meneltarmacil, he was really the most suspicious as again Gurthang managed to just pass through my dream again. He always seemed to sort of slip under, even after I began suspecting him again. Sorry I doubted you Menel.

It's glad to see the village has won, there are a few things I would try to do differently but overall I was pleased with the way I played my first wolf game. I wish I would have went with my earliest suspicions going into night 5 on Gurthang, but decided to choose Durelin, luckily this mistake did not cost the death of the village.

Again, well played to all.

mormegil · 08-26-2005, 03:39 PM

One thing that I have wanted to know for a while now is why did the wolves kill me? It would be great to hear from the wolves on their thoughts and conversations.

Ah, now, there was not much strategy involved. My fellow wolves have played games with you in the past and know you to be a clever player. I read through some of them as well and I must say, you have quite a mind! Plus, it seemed you post quite a bit, and outspokenness could be a problem for us wolves. Naturally, we wanted to stop that. You and SpM were the top on our list, but of course, when I was the last wolf, I did not kill SpM because I was sure he was the Hunter.

:-D Hope that cleared things up for you.

The Only Real Estel · 08-29-2005, 08:00 PM

I was gone for basically all of the game so I only got to scan through it but it looked like a great game to me. It would've been cool to see Gurthang pull it out, but oh well.

Gurthang's last post was entertaining, but my favorite post was probably Oddwen's lmpberry death for lmp. I had to laugh when she mentioned peach cobbler, but the whole death scene was incredible.

Gurthang · 08-26-2005, 03:40 PM

Actually, Lalaith, I misread LMP posts and thought that you were the Seer! When I found that you weren't, I was kinda mad at him; I think that's part of why I chose him next. That was another bad play of mine, I should have taken out the leaders of the village: Saucepan, but maybe Boromir. Those two misled kills probably were the worst choices I made in this game.

Aw, well, we all can't have a brain in our heads.

Gil-Galad · 08-26-2005, 03:52 PM

i would have laughed if SauceMan was a Bear... if he was it would be a perfect cover-up

wilwarin538 · 08-26-2005, 03:58 PM

That was a lot of fun. I wish I could have lived longer.*Gives Gurthang the evil eye

* You all played very well.

Gil-Galad · 08-26-2005, 04:04 PM

Mith and Laitaine chose most of the vilalgers too kill, i chose Mormegil after Mith got lynched just for the fun of it, plus Mormegil has a history of going after me

That's OK. I'll admit my actions were a little suspicious. I got lured onto the CaptainofDespair bandwagon mainly because of Saucepan's and your posts, and I did vote for people that others suspected, mainly because I had either come to the same conclusions myself (as in the case of Gil-Galad) or others' arguments were convincing enough and I was out of ideas.

So more or less a personal vendetta? Past games have no relection upon whether or not I suspect somebody in the current game. I think this is basically a rule that is unwritten but all adhere to.
