Welcome to Tol-in-Gauroth XI 'Fall of the Fall'

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

To quote Calvin&Hobbes, my favorite comic strip... "Hooray, we're dead."

And so we are. The village goes down tonight with me, because I am innocent. We were this close...THIS close to defeating a wolf, and so securing glory and fame (which we all want, I know...hahaha)...and then I get lynched. This is the part where if I was a wolf, I would be fed up with it all and would disclose myself. But I'm not. I'm innocent. But I'm still fed up.

Formen has done a brilliant job in discrediting me, and for that, I congratulate him. All hail the victorious wolf.

If I didn't know better, I would insist that I was not only playing with a wolf but also with a cobbler. Which, I admit, would be awesome, in a morbidly fascinating way.

Goodbye, sweet village...and all that sentimental stuff. Good for you, wolf. You win.

[Formendacil]

Why do I get the feeling I've played into a Wolf's hands???

Well, votes are irretractable. Since I didn't get lynched after that Wilwa business, I suppose it's only fair that I cause the village's ruin now...

If Azaelia really ISN'T a wolf, that is...

[Holbytlass]

The last three villagers stood in silence, wind whipping their hair and rattling the bare tree limbs. Two pointed to each other then looked expectantly at the third. It fell upon his shoulders to pass down judgement. In a moment's time his gaze fell upon the she. And it was understood.

The two males rounded on her and with vice-like grips dragged her to the river. Side by side they knelt, with her on her back in between them, they forced her head under the water. She kicked, she clawed but to no avail. Finally her body lay still and at that instant, one of the two changed.

Howling with delight it turned to the innocent. Their bodies clashed in mid-lunge, rolling in the mud. Pushing faces, kicking, hitting, but the strength of the wolf was too much. It seized an opportunity and clenched its fanged jaws on his throat, crushing it. With a last twitch of the legs, he was dead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Years later, when the mainland town nearest the sea would have its own Fall Festivities celebrating the year's bounty, tradition had it that the youth would go to hear the legend of the desimation of SeekHaven Island.

The story never grew old in the yearly telling and it never lost its effect of sending chills up and down the spines of the listeners.

"That is wonderfully scary!", the children would praise the storyteller, "How do you know so much?"

"I just do", he replied as he ran his tongue across his teeth indecently.

I wish to thank everyone who participated, you all played brilliantly and made this game memorable. I also thank those who repped me and the two who rated the thread.

[The Saucepan Man]

Ai! I am going to have to give up Werewolf games.

After wilwa was lynched and found innocent, I was convinced that the Wolves were Boro and Formendacil. When arctic was lynched and found to be a Wolf, I was convinced that the remaining Wolf was Boro. When Boro died, I was convinced that it was Formendacil!!!

A grudging ( ) congratulations to all the Wolves, but particular congratulations to Alcarillo. Talk about slipping under the radar ...! You played an excellent game, sir.

And what's with the location, Formen? Morm pointed it out to me after Boro died and it looked to be an absolute giveaway.

Great game, though. Thanks to all involved. Eomer, you were an excellent adversary. I enjoyed our tussle. And you played your role excellently, Cailin - spot on with the dreams. Was it Azaelia that you dreamed of the night before you got killed? And once again, morm, humble apologies for instigating your untimely and underserved death.

And last, but most certainly not least, praise Holby with great praise! A wonderful modding job and excellent death scenes - you really know how to rack up the suspense, don't you?!!

Edit: Ah, I see that Azaelia was Cailin's third dream. Well, at least I got something right.

[Holbytlass]

And what's with the location, Formen? Morm pointed it out to me after Boro died and it looked to be an absolute giveaway.

I can attest that the location was there before Boro's stuffing. Formen is from Canada and they had their Thanksgiving earlier this week.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Fantasic job guys. Beautiful work. And Holby gets so great praise praising for her fantastically suspenseful and fun deaths.

[Glirdan]

Good game!!!! Haven't been following it thoroughly, but I've been following it none the less!!! Great job Wolves!!! Great modding Holby!!!!

[Boromir88]

Well played by our wolves, especially Alcarillo.

I was pretty sure I was going to be the one to die that night, and wanted to get on to say some final thoughts, but alas didn't have enough time. I wasn't going to say this, because by saying this would probably mean the wolf wouldn't follow, but the way I figured after arctic was killed...

I figured, wolf or not, Alcarillo was going to be alive the final day.

If I died, Alcarillo was the wolf, because I would be the most likely one to vote against him. I was planning a big case eventhough I figured I was going to die.

If I lived, Formendacil or Azaelia (whichever didn't die that night was a wolf), because they may feel it easier in convincing me that Alcarillo was a wolf. If that makes any sense at all.

My apologies to mormegil, he truly did make me eat my words, and beside the villagers loss that was my only regret in the game.

Edit:

On some more blabbing...

I must say I enjoyed a good game of werewolf for the first time with Eomer, Abercrombie (you definitely fooled me), Formendacil, and Shelob (though I regret not being able to hear from her long).

And some more kudos to Alcarillo, for looking too wolfish to be a wolf, if ya catch my meaning. I love how you followed me to say arctic and Formendacil were wolves, then the next day once Formendacil went after Azaelia, you hopped along, great wolf play.

Hint: The second Monday of October is the Canadian Thanksgiving...

Oh, what a brutal, painful, totally addictive game...

I was totally taken in... My brilliant thesis against Azaelia: totally wrong! I'll admit to having a twinge of indecision when Alcarillo agreed with me so easily, but clearly I didn't act on it...

Oh, the pain!

Still, I think it a miracle I survived the Wilwa debacle. I was just crying to be a Werewolf there.

Still, that was FUN!

[Alcarillo]

Great game everybody!

I'm surprised I won. My previous playing time was equal to three days across two games. Now it's quadrupled!

And imagine my delight when the two innocents had voted for each other! I almost felt like typing a you-fools-I-was-the-wolf-the-whole-time speech.

And great modding, Holby. I especially liked the epilogue.

Thanks go to my fellow werewolves. I couldn't have done it without you!

[wilwarin538]

Wow I actually did vote for a Wolf(on Day 2 I believe). That was very well played Alcarillo!

I will admit that wasn't my best performance in a WW game I've ever had. Hopefully my next game will be better.

Thanks, though with such an early death I got to read almost all of the game as a wolf would (thanks to abercrombie). Which at least meant that the vast majority of this game felt normal...that one day as an innocent though, that was interesting. I kept saying to myself "Alright, now I need to convince SPM that I'm innocent without shifting suspicion to...erm...yeah...right...not a wolf..." What a useless paranoia to have picked up...

Still though, lasted longer than the last time I was innocent...that's worth something.


Good Job all, I enjoyed watching the confusion, the plot-twists (this was the first time, to my knowledge, ever that anyone refuted a player's claim to be gifted, and look where it led), and the suspense. (You do write very good deaths Holby).

Once again, Excellently Played...an exceedingly entertaining game.

Hey I get some crazy ideas but they seem to never be correct. My opinions seemed to mirror SpM's on who the wolf was. I kept wanting to just click reply and yell can't you see that Boromir is the wolf. I thought it was interesting that day where Boromir and Formendacil came out and gave a little bit of an arguement to each other and said they were suspicious of each other then both quickly turned on another, I believe Azealia

What I need to know is from Abercrombie...Why? I was dying that day. I've rarely been so frustrated. I just couldn't get anybody to believe me. But I do thank Holby for making Boromir eat his words....it was kind of my request at the height of frustration...no hard feelings though Boro or anybody for that matter.

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

What I need to know is from Abercrombie...Why?

Well Morm, I needed to get out of the game, I had too much homework to do and, though I enjoyed playing in it, I just couldn't commit enough time or energy to it.
So I started looking for a way out...and then it just fell into my lap.

When you posted that you were the hunter, I practically died; it was so perfect. I also knew the position you were in, you already had garnered quite a bit of suspicion against you and were looking likely as a lynching candidate, until your proclamation. I then decided that the best of situations would be to get out of the game and take a gifted down with me. I felt that we could still win without me, so I took the leap, and it worked out better than I could've hoped for. Sorry you were so frustrated, I only meant to cause a bit of mayhem and confusion and add to the suspense of the game!
