It was no trouble, Lommy, I didn't take it as offensive (though I didn't like the formulation much, to be honest ). Well, and yes, language can be a difficult thing, I can quite understand that. No problem with that. You can read on the game thread what I replied when they brought it back.

In answer to questions about my posting volume -

three of my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays; hence, I'm in school from 2PM-10PM GMT those days. Fridays I have only one morning class; from then onwards I'm free ('til bedtime at about ...7 am Saturday, GMT). I can be expected to post a lot more on MWF than on TTH.
Actually, that'll only be true for two more weeks, then...THE SEMESTER ENDS!

You lucky bastard! I have untill the beginning of June until the summer-vacation starts.

And I know many people would tell me that I should shut up with my 2˝ month summer-holiday. But unluckily that holiday can be seen in my salary every month of the year when I'm as well working...

-------

Later toDay I will be a bit less involved as my daughters are here spending a weekend for a long time (yes, Lommy too, but we will just have to stay calm and not talk of the game until it ends), but I try to do my best anyhow.

I deserve it, though; my school starts the fall semester in the middle of August, and is very stingy with the winter and spring breaks. I'm completely burned out by now!
The weird thing is, it's still snowing here....
oops, sorry, I'm getting chatty. Back on topic...Menel: any chance of an early final narration, so the dead can join the fun?

I don't think there has been a game where all the gifted have been quite so effective - to have a Seer and ranger alive at the end is remarkable .. and of course a Hunter can only have full effect when attacked - so that was a very nice lure, Roa, which bought us an extra day .. unfortunate that we used it to kill Leggy not Xyzzy ......

Here be my rant

i jsut realized, in every werewolf game i've been in, not once has the seer ever dreamed about me... but still it was a good game, i participated more but you silly villagers still lynched me, i probably won't be a wolf for awhile because i'm not a stable character and every mod wants a good game... but still...


i remember my first game, i was lynched first day, i was so unbelivably mad at everyone... i know its a game but it hurts at time when people never understand you


so yarr... i'm ready for the next game, i have goal in WW and i won't stop playing it till i achieve this goal.

I always thought the roles were randomly chosen! I guess that makes the fact that I've had special roles in the last three games rather flattering, where I just thought it was coincidental!

I think we will begin to get used ot you participating more ... and Xyzzy has stepped into your old role so no going back But I knew I was innocent and you were so fixated on me that it looked like you were stitching me up. Then Legate's theory that if you weren't a wolf I probably was helped me suspect him....

And no wonder paranoia set in ... with so many innocents after my blood! .... at least the suspicion would have kept me alive at night .... had circumstances been other ... do you realise that the villagers killed as many innocents than the wolves? Apart from the token mod kill to get the ball rolling they only got Brinniel and Roa which was rather a pyrrhic victory.

So could the ranger and hunter were able to communicate it seeems ... during the day or all the time?

Was Roa an "intelligent" hunter?


Were there any other tweaks we are unaware of .. cursed for instance?

Mith - that's because we had a fantastic hunter & seer, and the ranger had a good "mentor" for most of the game!

I think the wolves were at a disadvantage, so I won't gloat too much. The way the roles fell, with the amount of time the good guys could put in vs. the bad guys, and that first missed kill; well, I think perhaps no one could have won in those circumstances.
