1420! Sauce for the Goose ...

Hehe. Glad to see that I was not mistaken. I have been on tenterhooks all the way home from work.

I have a lot to say about this game. It was completely exhilarating and utterly confusing. If you thought the double-Owl thing was confusing from your perspective, imagine how astonished I was when Mith turned out not to be a Duck. Still, it served my purposes as it was pretty much accepted thereafter that the Goose was dead (sorry, Glirdy).

Sorry also to Nilp, spawn and Jenny for not helping you out. I had no idea you were Ducks (although I had a feeling about spawn). I was rather pleased with my role in "outing" Mith (happily accepting the idignity of being labelled stupid), but was horrified when Glirdan then came out and named spawn. When spawn was lynched and turned out to be a Duck, I thought that it was all over (not knowing there was an additional Duck) and that my "outing" of Mith had lost us the game.

Thereafter, assuming Mith was the final Duck, I set about defending her. When she died and was shown to be innocent, I didn't know what to believe. But I thought "What the heck?". My guess was that one of them had been a False Owl.

Not a great Goose showing up to that point.

Happily, I soon worked out that Kath was most likely the final Duck and set about protecting her instead. I couldn't be sure but, I mean, just look at her voting record.

Did you guess I was a Goose, Kath, or did you just keep me alive because I appeared so convinced of your innocence?

I spent the final two days briefing against morm and Noggy (sorry guys), because I was pretty sure that they were innocent and it was too difficult to make a case against non-Cailín.

Today was pretty difficult, as I couldn't be sure that the Nightingale was not still with us (good job, there, Ang). Otherwise, I would simply have voted for myself. When I saw that Kath had turned up, I took my chance and placed my vote for Noggy.

Running out of time ...

Great game everyone, and fantastic modding, Di. The paranoia created by not knowing who was who when they died was brilliant.

More later ...
