Lommy... well, what can I say. You snatched away our victory when we were just beinging to savor it. Good job, though I hate to say it!

Volo: sorry mate! But at least you joined the honorary Fenris Wolf club! (even if it was against your will...lol)

Boro: We shall be avenged my friend! These wrongs will not go unpunished...

All in all, this was a very enlightening game. I found a few things of interest:

I didn't know that!

Hmmm, that's a bit disconserting there, Lommy. Maybe I should swear more often, or heft some large boulders, or kill some dragons. Or ... challange Nogrod to a Duel!! (just kidding, lol)

Sleepy: Great game, man! Thanks for the interesting deaths an' all!

Well I think the wolwes did a freaking great job. . . Boro yeah I was on to you, but I was never convinced.

Eonwe was good as well, I felt uneasy about him, but that was it. Never have I been so clueless about a game. . .

Now Volo died on day one, but really that is just unlucky. A bad wolf (me) is the one constantly discovered on day 2, when people actually can analyse a bit.

Btw my artist was Leonard Cohen

Eonwe and Boro did a good job. Leastways, they fooled me. They defended me (both of them!) and I felt very strengthened by their encouragement. Not that it did me any good. I'll bet you two were laughing up your sleeves when Mac, Glirdan, and I all got killed on the same day!! Bah.

Celuien, you had me convinced when you went fairly belistic about Glirdy being so inocent. I fairly wept when I saw your posts, but it was too late for me. I'd already voted, and I think time was up anyway. You can't imagine the torment I went through when I first realized he was innocent, then learned he was hunter, then learned that I was his victim.

It bothered me that Lommy accused me for my first post. That was disturbing and in the long run, got me killed. You did a good job, otherwise.

Great job, Sleepy. I'm liking your last post a lot!!

Good job, everyone else! It was fun, while I lasted. I enjoy being an innocent bystander, good only for defending myself so furiously.

I did go a little off the deep end. It was so frustrating to see the bandwagon taking off when I knew he was innocent. I only hope that if I'm ever the Seer that I'll be able to stay a little calmer.

My artist was Arturo Toscanini, whose picture is my current avatar.

I have Glirdan's and my correspondence, but there isn't much to it since we only had two nights to chat. The summary is that:

1) We were going to keep a distance from each other in the village
2) We discussed Noggie (Glirdy's original pick instead of Folwren) and ruled that he was not a wolf, after which Glirdan decided to hunt Folwren because he thought that her vote for Volo was too safe to be non-suspicious.

Well, yes, I do admit that it pleased me immensely!

I defended you though, cuz you just looked so innocent. In fact, Boro and I both had you pegge as Gifted at one point. I though it might look good when you eventually died (sorry ) if I defended you. Honestly, I still don't konw what Glirdan saw in you that was so suspicious.

I dunno; your right, they all seem to run together sometimes. Wasn't it just yesterday that phantom, Boro, and Lalaith were tearing through us innocents?

I've a question for Boro and Volo. That list Volo wrote up at the end of Day 1, was that all Volo's doing or did Boro suggest doing it?~Diamond
The only thing I suggested was for us to all act like we normally would as an innocent. And that it would probably be best, since it was Day 1 and all, that we just ignored eachother and went after our own 'suspects,' or if we had to; to defend eachother. I did try to defend him as much as possible without incriminating myself, which meant I had to use an excuse from the only other game I was in with Volo...the beginning he was odd and suspicious looking, but he turned out to be a great asset (being the Ranger and stopping two wolf kills) that was why I was wary of lynching him on Day 1, as he may just get on slow starts. Though of course it was just an excuse.

Now after Volo was dead, Eonwe and I planned to take Volo's post at the end and steer the village the way we wanted. So to answer the question, Volo's last post was all his decision.

Which got me nervous about being a wolf in this game. In that game I just sat back acted normal and let phantom do all the planning and strategizing. My other wolf run was with Anguirel and Naria...where sadly I looked like phantom when he was a wolf and that got me lynched on Day 1. (So glad that phantom wasn't in this game to pick up on that again ).
