Actually, Eomer old salt, it was a double-helix-bluff. I was claiming I suspected you on the basis of your Kath vote to get people to vote for you. My real reasons, I faithfully assure you, were entirely irrational...

Then why did you want me dead in this game, after our long history of gallant comradery? That hurts, it does, it does. It would have made much more sense to go after the Phantom.

Still, it was fun creating that last post for you. Did you work out the meaning yet?

Thanks everyone! This was mad and most fun.

And I must say I do appreciated Fea's decisions. Think what an anti-climax it would have been if she had announced after Day2: "Congrats villagers, you have won"!

Also I think that this almost totally illogical game was the only one we were able to manage with this crew. Think about the amount of theorising and the breath of analysis we would have produced if there would have been something to actually look and delve into? So not mere 14 pages but 44... and we all growing grey hair after the effort.

And once again it was proven: the game is in the players. Wonderful gaming everyone!

Other voting, such as Diamond's, was based purely out of spite and should not be congratulated just because I happened to be a werewolf.
I swore after DW that I would lynch you as a wolf one day, and I did, so I'm happy.

Anyway, fun game; although you all had my deepest sympathy, trying so hard for so little reward.
And yet, I didn't try, not at all. It amuses me to see how long I survived before lynching when my basic gameplan was to taunt people about my innocence until they killed me and I could say "told you so." Sorry, Esty, for being one of the quiet ones. I would have been louder in my random annoyingness but I had that dratted thing called life to attend to.

Anyway, I had great fun when I was able to be around, thanks Fea for my lovely death and a lovely, diabolical game. You have definitely beaten out my Wereducks game for wicked modding.

Unless you happened (albeit largely on the basis of pure chance) to be the last villager standing ...

Then of course, those of us who are the analytical type were all busy analysing our little cotton socks off, even though there was nothing there to analyse. Hence, I think, the frustration exhibited by the phantom and I when our "logical" approach to the game was getting us nowhere.

It rather proves a little "rule" that I have always held true about this game, one which I have fallen foul of myself many times - if you come round to the view that someone is a Wolf, you can always find the material to justify that view, whether they be a Wolf or not.

Most assuredly. That's why theories are such a dangerous thing. So why is it, some times we can find things that so clearly point to a werewolf, and other times not? That's probably best left as an unanswerable question. Sigh. I have been stunned by my ability to fish them out in some games, and then equally stunned by my inability in other games.
