I have to admit I'm still a little confused by the concept, having just made it up to originally have no real meaning, but I do think I see Guy actually putting it to use!

So what do you think a bait and switch bluff would be, since it's so far undefined? Anybody?

Ooh, ooh, pick me! My definition of a bait and switch bluff would be as follows:

One Fea-wolf lays the bait carefully to lead suspicion subtley but directly to one innocent (or, equally likely, also guilty) villager. Just as the villagers take the well-hidden bait, Fea-wolf switches it up and points her finger to a new villager (or more likely, a new wolf), using a rather lot of obvious evidence to convict said person.

Due to invisible "bait", the village is permanently, though latently, suspicious of the original, and extremely worried about the "switch". Should both villagers survive, after Fea's death, they will likely be killed because everybody knows I'm willing to throw my team mates to the erm... wolves.

Seriously, this game was more stressful than any game I've participated in before. It's terrible being a wolf.

I think during Night 2, I first suggested killing either Lhuna or Fea, because of some random brainwave I don't quite understand anymore. Next I was willing to kill one of the people who voted for me, especially Firefoot, because I was so worried about her I would risk the village going after me the next day. When we finally more or less agreed on Eomer, I got a real bad feeling about it and I almost sent a PM to Formendacil - who was going to deliver the message - to kill LMP instead. But I didn't, much to my dismay the day after.

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

I think next time when I accidentally sign up for a game you're in, I'll either have to ignore your existence or just commit suicide.

Phantom, I knew what you meant as soon as you mentioned that PM you sent me in WWIII. Referred to when you told how Boromir88, with his last action before dying, gave the villagers the bird. Reading it, I'm surprised you didn't go with the 'fingers-straight-as-arrows' line. (It was in reference to The Phantom's self-suggested death in Storyland.

LMP, lucky indeed that you didn't pick me on NIGHT 2!

Why did I pick Cailín even after I voted for Boromir88 that day? Well, I didn't really suspect Boro – in fact, I basically said that in my post. It was just that he gave me reasons to choose him (however poor) and I wanted to get the discussion going. Also, voting early on Day One is always hard.

I got really lucky with Cailín. My main reason for choosing her was this: She voted for me despite the numerous clues I had given in my posts to suggest my secret role. I really didn't think any innocent would vote for me that Day and, even if she was innocent, she deserved to die for not reading carefully enough!

Did anyone catch the clues which alluded to my Hunting ways? As it happened, Anguirel guessed I was the Hunter but for entirely different reasons!

Hey, I remember that! I laughed really hard when I found out what he'd suggested for his own demise. The fingers straight as arrows... I'm surprised I didn't remember it before.

Only after you were dead. Oops.

[the guy who be short]

Mortakh was, I presume, a joke. I can't make much of it though.

Mort is French for dead, and akh might possibly be Egyptian? I'm not sure.

Alternatively, you could be demanding more taxes, or tacks, or tackier games.

Mortakh=More Talk

Phantom, I knew what you meant as soon as you mentioned that PM you sent me in WWIII.

And so, Eomer has found his easter egg.

For those of you who aren't in the know, once I realized I was going to be lynched in WW III despite my most excellent arguments, I sent Eomer, the Moderator, a pm suggesting a few things to include in my death.

I can't remember exactly how it went, but it was something like this-
His body stopped with a jerk and the villagers heard his neck snap.

"My God- he was innocent... he was telling the truth."

The villagers stood in guilty silence as the executioner cut the rope holding Phantom in the air. Phantom landed hard, face down on the ground. His tied hands were clenched tightly behind his back, all except his middle fingers, which were as straight as arrows.

Mortakh was, I presume, a joke.

Yes, it was. Can anyone figure out the joke behind Mortakh the orc captain?

You don't need a foreign language dictionary.

And no, morm, that's not it- though your guess is rather good, seeing as I did indeed want this game to be a "more talk" game.
