Seer – Wilwarin: A gamble, this one, for Wilwarin’s style is not really Seerish. However, if she plays her part well, she usually manages to stay alive for the major part of the game and could be a very effective, subtle Seer.
That would be fun!

I will make my dream team later. There are so many to choose from it will probably be the largest game pssible.

An addendum to my previous post.

I cannot believe I forgot about the delightful rewards we received after Mith's Midsummer night maulings. It was rather enjoyable.

It's nice to see my name on a few lists, especially as I respect everyone who put me on their list (and of course everyone who didn't...gah I have no idea what I was trying to say)

So true! I don't think I've ever survived a whole game...hahaha

I'm glad that you have so much faith in my ability to keep myself alive, Glirdan Just kidding, of course.


My dream team is...

Wolves: Eomer. He is so good that he can trick the seer into thinking he's innocent. 'Nuff said.
Sauce because he is a brilliant, aggressive, active player as it is...Him as a wolf would be unstoppable.
The Barrow-Wight because I wish I had the chance to play a werewolf game with him.

Seer: Phantom because he's good at measuring people and he would know how to keep his seer knowledge subtle included in his posts in stead of being too obvious.

Guardian: Boromir88 He seems to be good at reasoning out who the wolves are, and thus how to curtail their actions.

Hunter: MormegilHe usually seems to have the right of things, and measures people well. Shame the wolves played such a trick on him in XI.

Ordinary villagers: TOREstel beacuse he is a great player. And he'd probably attract undue suspicion just for being loud and active.
WaynetheGoblin because he's confusing and adds a whole new element.
Fea Another excellent player.
Nilp and his various personalities to mix things up.
Shelob The normal one, who wouldn't attract as much suspicion as the rest of us.
lmp because he's another amazing player. And every village needs someone who can make clever poems out of what is happening in the game.
Me. The QUIET ONE. It's like I am wearing a T-shirt that says SUSPICIOUS. LYNCH ME. And because I can't resist the temptation to sign myself up for a game that looks like a ton of fun.

Or if Eomer wasn't a wolf, I'd love for him to be a mod. He modded my first game and his deaths were always amusing with a twist of grim irony. I'd also like to add Holby to the mod team because I like the tactic of not letting anyone know who was just killed, or what their role was until the very end. Keeps that suspicion going.

I think it would be churlish not to automatically select my active MM players. All of them coped very sportingly with the twists of fate (and yours truly's wagnerian/ Basil Fawlty thrashing a Hillman Imp with a tree type moments and arbitrary decisions). Ideally I would co-opt Oddwen as a co-moderator.... (in the same way I would ideally play doubles with Roger Federer....) She was inspired.....

Kitanna was a wonderful seer in that she had two strikes. Unfortunately a superb trio (later quartet) of wolves managed to raise suspicion against her and she was lost.

Mormegil was incredibly charismatic ( I still haven't recovered from Night 2's PMs reading Mormegil. Mormegil. Mormegil.... Even when the seer had been revealed he nearly talked himself from the gallows. Superb entertainment for a mod. Fea rose to the occasion and played a blinder. And noone does quite and creepy quite like Oromin.

Holby I would transfer to Hunter... for her perception though TGWBS had the right ideas - just unfortunately not quite at the right time.... he kept admirably in character too.

Kath did sterling work as Mythomaniac deliberately picking a wolf!!! Ah well.. almost makes me want to volunteer to have another go... maybe when I am settled into a new assignment (hopefully another one where colleagues won't be fazed by requests for a gruesome way to kill Inspector Clouseau....)

I would increase the game size a little to allow fresh blood (!)and I think I would especially like to include the Phantom and Kuruharan.... memories of the first game ....

If I managed to recruit sufficient Lab Rats to justify increasing the bloodshed... then Boromir would be Were-Rabbit.. that would be interesting...

And I would like to see The BW play again.... and Laitaine - who did so well having been rather handicapped (ahem) by a certain fellow lycanthrope

Now my dream team, comprised of 15 plus the mod.

Mod - Encaitare- Because I won that game. Actually she did a very good job modding, its was a very fun game.

Wolves - Eomer - Only the best and most famous wolf ever!
the phantom- He's good at any role, he's just so smart.
Meneltarmacil - Got tones of suspicion right from the start yet still won!

Seer - Boro88 - His "seereally" thing was briliant. (that was him right?)

Hunter - Hiriel - He lasted right to the end in the first WWJ game.

Ranger - Fea - Cause she can be a seer to!

Cobbler - TORE- Who else?

Villagers - Zali & I - Supposedly we're quiet, and thats a good thing.
Saucie - He's just so smart!
Wayne - His one liners are very amusing.
Glirdan - Getting to be a very talented player.
Mr. Wight - Cause the wolves are to scared to get banned so they don't kill him.(just kidding)
Mormegil - His blood lust is always funny.
Shelod - She always has the greatest roles.

So thats my dream team. I'm sure I missed people, but I didn't want to make it to long.

I can't believe myself. I forgot to include mormegil with his afore-mentioned bloodlust. WW games just aren't as much fun without it.

Yes Cailin, but unfortunately my last breath would be drawn on the first night! Both times I've been Ranger that has happened.
Well, I guess that is sort of the point of the Ranger. Though the first night is rather early indeed.

I really agree with this!

It feels especially great to read through this thread right now and see I'm actually mentioned as a good or logical thinker a couple of times, since in real life, I'm actually failing argumentation. Somehow, my professor does not think it's justified to give me credit for any splendid werewolf performances.

What I meant is thanks.
