Tol-in-Gaurhoth XV-The Villagers Strike Back!

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'm relieved that no-one has yet pointed out a way I could have escaped capture. To be honest, I was kind of expecting Saucepan Man or some other clever person to come in and say "Why didn't you just do this..."

There was no way out, right?

With the Lord Sauron orchestrating your demise, how could there have been?

Seriously, I had WAY too much fun coming out in the open with that post... way too much fun. So kudos, kudos, kudos, to Anguirel for giving me the opportunity to be the Dark Lord.

My strategym such as it was, was to get a list of "proven innocents (or proven Heroes) and present them to the village after four dreams or so. Had I been in apparent danger, I would have revealed all earlier, but luck was on my side.

The night that I voted for Mithalwen, I really and truly had absolutely no idea who in the place was a Hero. I was just really grateful that Huan was dead- since it meant that I couldn't be mistaking about any of my real villagers. My vote for Mith was, as someone pointed out, a cop-out. However, it did a VERY good job of putting me back on the "suspicion list", which assured (in my mind) that the Heroes would leave me be for a while.

Then came the Meneltarmacil debacle and Morm's great plan- which irked me because it was too similar- and too soon- to my plan. However, it gave me the perfect cover. Not to mention the perfect set up for the post of Lord Sauron's fury!

And, to Morm:

Consider it a mark of my highest esteem for you as a Tol-In-Gaurhother that I dreamed of you at the very beginning. I wanted to know from the outset who's side you were on.

[WaynetheGoblin]

well i guess thats good i mean i wanted revenge on the wolfs and hope that the hero would have won but hey i won.

[Farael]

Aye, Yaye!!!!!! Wake up at 1 PM ready for lunch, feeling great and find that the game is already over!

First of all, congratulations to everyone for a fun game... Even to Mithalwen, will you forgive me now that we've won and I've been proven innocent???

I swear to you guys, for a moment you had me wanting to admit being a Hero... just for fun's sake EVERYONE WOULD HAVE LOOKED SO SILLY!!! alas, I was who I said I was

Even though I suspected spawn in the beginning, if I had orchestrated the double devouring it would have been Wayne and Boromir, Eomer and someone else in the next opportunity... I don't know what you said Boro, but I suspected you.

I wish you all a merry Christmas or Janukah!! and a happy new year just in case I don't get another chance to say so =)



And for the last time GRRRRRRRAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR I'M CARCHAROTH!!!

[Kath]

Eomer, all I can say is congratulations. No you couldn't have got out of dying but what an innocent you seemed!

Also Form, yes I can still say you are wrong even when playing Sauron!

But thanks to Anguirel for a fantastic game. Villagers against werewolves with a twist. Wonderful!

[Boromir88]

I don't know what you said Boro, but I suspected you.

Even when I actually am helpful to the innocents and actually am key to the lynching of a wolf (in this case it would be a hero) I get suspected, so no need to fret. This one I really wasn't too helpful so it comes to no surprise that I would be suspected.

[Meneltarmacil]

Yes, I admit I've often suspected you, even in my very first game when I was Ye Olde Knighte. I'm not sure what it is about you, but you just seem to look suspicious to me often for a variety of reasons specific to each game.

[mormegil]

This was rather fun for me for multiple reasons.

1. The role reversal
2. My characterisation was a blast even though I had difficulty insulting people because I like you so much.
3. Playing on the edge and being suspected was great!
4. I survived until the game was over (that is a first for me).

I must admit that when I found out SpM was Huan I was disappointed that he died so early. I was excited to see how he would perform in such a role.

Very enjoyable all.

Oh and Eomer there was a way to win...magically convince us that you were innocent. Really there was no possible way, so well done.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

A question to you beasts who killed me:

Did you really suspect me? I was feeling kind of safe, no one but Menel had raised suspision about me. You votes seemed to me rather random or at least beeing based on allmost nothing. (like when you really don't know who to vote for and just decides that because of this tiny thing I am going to vote for him/her)

Well, if you hadn't gone and killed your faithful hound, you would have had a "proven innocent" on your side, given that Formy dreamed of me early on.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. My strategy was to play as normal and try to stay around to cause some havoc near the end. Perhaps, knowing my (ill-deserved) "reputation", I should have just gone all out to confuse from the outset. But I was rather surprised to be killed on Day 2, as I thought that there were some prospective Saurons around (none of whom turned out to be Sauron, although I had Mithalwen down as a possibility).

The "slips", by the way, were entirely genuine and nothing to do with my role. I missed Morm's reference to Elves and "of" in my first post should have been "from" - a simple mistype. As for not posting as much as normal, I rarely post as much at weekends as I do during the week.

Still, good game all round. I enjoyed reading along after my death, most particularly when everyone was trying to read something into my vote for Nonnacedak, when I was simply trying to vote as I thought a genuine Wolf might. Glad he turned out not to be a hero, though.

Excellent modding job, Ang. I really enjoyed the write-ups. Particularly the little "dig" at the Heroes for killing me.

Merry Christmas all!

Probably not, but I would have tried going for Morm the night after spawn got killed, pray formen didn't dream about you to confirm the suspicions and then get him... then get Boro. They were the leaders and the pack might have sunk into anarchy. After that I'd go for Kath and don't kill Mithalwen as long as we are both alive, just start up some more arguments... keep

Of course, if you were asking how to avoid being suspected... well, trying to bring other people to the spotlight is not always the wisest calls so... prayer? I don't know, but you did give up before the game was over.

[Oddwen]

Yay! Good game, all! I had fun. Especially the role-reversals of it all, the only time I got it mixed up was when Nonna was lynched...I looked at the list and it said "Nonna (Werewolf) lynched" and I was like "Yay! Got a Werewolf...oh." Anyway. Being a Wolf actually helped me this game, every other game I've ever played I've just felt so frantic and stressed...not this one. Thanks, guys!

Oh, and sorry I couldn't get back to vote last night, I was so sick I lost track of time and had to go to bed.

Again, good game, and Merry Christmas to all!

[mormegil]

Spawn how many times now have you been a werewolf/hero role? I remember at least 3 or 4. I think you may have the record number.
