No- I didn't hint at roles or anything like that (at least I hope I didn't).

If not clues, then what kind of hidden things?

Aww..and I thought there will be a generous reward...

There were things that I called people in my narration that had a little "trick" to them, you might say.

And there were a couple of names that should've had a little next to them, too.

Cailín has just left Hobbiton.
And so it ends.

Special compliments of course to Mr. Underhill and Estelyn for such a great first time game, though I had hardly expected otherwise.

Ai, it was indeed a harsh game for us wolves. I will never have a sleepover on Day 1 again. I should have said immediately that I would not have time to read the discussion and I would just vote for Eomer anyway, if nothing major happened, because I was afraid a none-vote would cause the wrath of Sir Phantom (who did an amazing job by the way, I don't think there was ever before a game with such a great narration). Anyway, I was very sad to die so early, but I think I had it coming.

Just one more note. You, Mormegil, are a very wise and lucky man. However, your reasoning that between my first two posts I had had a private conversation with one of my fellow wolves was not at all true. Actually, I think the option of communicating during the Day was never used by us wolves. Also, if you look closer at the times of those posts, you'll see that - with the timezone difference - it would have been highly unlikely I could have conversed with Enca or Form. I just wanted to point that out, as that would have been my defense if I had not been so brutally slain by that sneaky hunter Eomer.

Enca, I almost thought you'd have pulled it off, with the mass suicide yesterDay. That was ever so amusing. I was praying you'd find the cursed tonight, now that would have been a twist.

All in all, this game makes a great read, with all its eloquent players. Thank you all.

A tremendous game. Valiantly striven. I did not fall unavenged...and I followed the game eagerly after my downfall...

Bravo!

(Villagers had it 'in the bag', even though my 'devious and fiendishly clever' wolf turned out to be as innocent as....you know.)

So let me see.

Well done villagers! Estelyn and Mr Underhill – fantastic game! I had the nagging doubt all along that one of you was taking the village for a ride with all this trust that was afforded to you; I am very happy that there was nothing wolvish (or, in Underhill's case, wolvish enough yet) about your deeds. Well done!

All the villagers contributed well. Formendacil is absolutely correct when he bemoans the wolves' bad luck at the start, which, as he points out, led to the unveiling of three pretty much known innocents. Still, it's no more than you foul lupines deserved!

Especial praise goes to Boromir88, who was quite magnificent; and Mormegil, who really took charge of the village towards the end. Lhuna: I'm just really sorry I wasn't around long enough to protect you.

Many thanks also to The Phantom, whose moderating was brilliant and highly original. It was a gripping game from start to finish.

One more thing: A nice twist to this game, wasn't it Cailín? I think we're just meant to be together.

Edit: And a delightful touch from Anguirel and The Phantom, concerning the sword. Now, Anguirel, there is a chance that our tombs may lie side-by-side and no foe shall dare to walk nigh!

Thumbs up

Great game, everybody! For those of you who were wondering, my dreams were Morm, Boromir, and Mr. U., and the night I was killed - Encai. Watching the rest of you blunder around, killing tgwbs and Boromir, was insane. Telepathy doesn't work so very well over the internet, I guess...

Anyhow, I'll probably do something a little bit more in depth later (after school...). That's all I really had to say.

I can't believe I ever stopped playing these. I don't think I can really ay how much I loved that.

What, out of interest, did "Erbar Telamarth" come from? It's neither Quenya nor Sindarin. I'm interested.

Special praise to Boro88, my suicide buddy, and LMP for his hilarious character, as well a tp's gripping, Middle-Earthian narratives.

I think we should just have killed Fea off at the first.
