Argh. I must have been the most catastrophic Hunter in history...
At least my deception regarding Lalaith and the Nightingale's death preserved that extra dream...

The awards are still coming, but I would just like to say -- there's not really one person to give a special award to for figuring out the secret. I haven't quite kept track, but several people got it or near to it:
Lalaith asked me in PM if there were two Owls the Night after Mith and Glirdy's revelations. Mithalwen voiced her suspicion and then belief that that was the case. Nogrod included it in one of his many, many possibilities.  SpM thought at one point, I think, that there were two Owls, one false and one true. (I think it was you, Sauce, I have been forced to delete my PMs of course and didn't save all of them.) This was pretty close, since having a false seer was among my initial ideas for the game. In the end I went with two true seers, though.

Well, I've learnt a cookery lesson...
Too many Owls spoil the broth! And my even record now spills into the losses again, sniff...

DIAMOND!!! I LOVED MY DEATH!!
Thank you so much for using my little rhyme (I sent it with the Lalaith-Kill the night before)...I will say now that it is Dr. Seuss's, not mine, but I was just thrilled to find it in my death.

I don't think I can improve on "Kafkaesque nightmare" from my own experience of the early days at least I really started to doubt my own sanity - and I can't believe Saucie thought me a duck at all... especially given my voting. It was my best voting record since WW1 - 2 ducks and 2 reasonable (though wrong ) picks...not bad considering I had to vote so early. Even though I didn't know I could trust him at that point, Mormegil's accurate character assessment was a comfort. It was a bit shattering to realise that just about everyone thought that my being irrational/deranged/pathological liar was a more plausible explanation than my telling the truth . If I play again I shall try to avoid such a stressful RL time and make sure I am filled to the gills on Evening Primrose Oil  ... In many ways it was a brilliant game - just not an ideal one for an anxiety sufferer ..... Ah well, I might well be paranoid but you were out to get me!!!

Honestly, when I'm a wolf/orc/duck, the first thing I make sure stays fairly good is my voting record. As a werecreature, I have the knowledge to make sure my voting record is good...
And I don't think an innocent should ever make a vote they feel is unreasonable...

Hehe, all you need is Sauce on your side! My voting record this game was appalling, yet he turned it round so it looked innocent

Lalaith hit it exactly...
I did think you were the goose...but I thought it was an absolutely brilliant strategy, and envied you the cunning necessary to throw so many up against eachother. And then after I was dead, Glirdy revealed his Seerishness to me in a PM...so I thought I had proof that you were a Goose and was even more impressed.

Stressed and nervy is my default setting so I thought I was being quite natural! And do you think I would have admitted to the worlds dullest occupation if hadn't been telling the truth!!!! You know of all jobs, accountants avoid telling people what they do for a living for the longest? That is a statistical fact. There is only one accountancy joke too....

Well you may have to be in the trade to find it funny:

Really, Mith, I found your nervousness odd, because every other game I've played with you, you've been the voice of reason. You're panic and over-reaction was amazingly different than what I've seen from you before. I guess this game just had poor luck in the timing category for everyone. *hugs*
