For only 4 Days that was quite an intense game. And to think I had plans of killing Gil in the night, luckily Nogrod took him down.

I must say I had some reservations about joining this game, but I'm glad I did. I just wish school hadn't kept me from playing as much as I would have liked. But Volo and Kath that was an excellent game.

Also my apologies Eomer. I felt a bit like a traitor turning on you like that after some of the successes we had as wolves together in the past.

And could someone please explain this:

The Lovers win!
(Especially the Innocent Lover)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

My brain hurts.

While I ponder, I'll just say that I was pretty certain Macalaure had some absolutely fiendish and brilliant plot to squeeze the remaining vampire's identity from me. I had no idea why he would give me a kill. I killed Nogrod because, well, does it matter? He could theoretically have taken out another innocent and thus increased Gil's chances of winning by a slight percentage.

It was an interesting game but kind of depressing from our point of view because we realised very early that we had little chance of winning. Villagers did well though.

(We said bad things about you, Kitanna. )

[Macalaure]

There were lovers in this game, one of which was of a very sneaky kind.

I was a couple with Lommy, but while she was perfectly innocent, I was a filthy, rotten, vote-record-sabotaging cobbler. I had to lead the village astray while keeping an innocent face to her.

So I couldn't just run mad like many cobblers do. I hoped to survive til late in the game and then try to influence Lommy into doing the wrong things. Sadly, I didn't get the chance to find out whether I would have been able to.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Heh.

I wondered why Gil was so adamant that there was a connection between Legate and myself... Had they killed me, that probably would have taken suspicion off of Legate.

I'm happy to report that my personal suspicion panned out, too.

One thing I noticed, though... the whole bit about the votes being posted on the thread basically nullified the free kill given by the Lynch Seer... because no one wanted to give the person being lynched a free kill, and since they knew who was being lynched....

I'm a little confused, though... was Cobbler an actual role?

As we knew we had lynched Spm with 6 votes against Legate's 4?

I personally found that particular idea (and all this secret voting-stuff) the most interesting. It gave this game it's distinct flavour and some added excitement.

I'm not sure you had bad chances in the beginning. You saw how f.ex. myself and Roa were pretty much tearing each other apart (oh those bad/good ol'days) and how even in the last evening Spm was getting his nice theories why I was the last vamp etc...

I mean too many loud innocents seem to end up lynching each other almost every time. Think if Boro or Mac would have had more time in their hands and had not been declared innocents! The focus of discussion would have been in all the wrong matters (from the villagers point pof view).

Or if the shade would have decided to stay ambivalent a bit longer... and wouldn't have dreamt of you Eomer in the first place!

And the cobbler surely messed with us quite nicely...! *coughMaccough*

Lommy, eh?

*slaps Lommy with a glove*

I challenge you to a duel!

Mark my words, Thinlo, in all forthcoming games, I will make it my goal to see you lynched on day one, or, failing that, eaten on night 2!

[xyzzy]

Good game.

It was interesting, because at first we thought that non-public voting would hurt us; but I think it was actually better than any alternative.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Nay, Nogrod, nay. With the lynch seer and numbers of votes, the village already had a very big advantage (although perhaps that would have changed had people known about the cobbler?) The Shade made it impossible.

[Durelin]

Ohhhhh...so Mac was the Cobbler....

With only one game of this nature behind us I think it's pretty hard to say anything definitive. I mean there are very basic games where the village wins in three days (I've been in one!) and those where the wolves finally carry the last villager to the death.

I mean there are too many particular variables that have only been tried once.

F.ex. if I was the shade, I probably wouldn't have dreamt of any of you three and at least you Eomer would still roam free, probably Gil would be alive as well and Day5 going with two vamps...

Or had Legate had more time to upgrade his playing from Day1 and he might pretty well have escaped the attention he caught...

Etc...

But I agree with you that the villagers did have the numbers on their side - even with the cobbler included. And also in the long run the voting tallies might have revealed the cheaters - were there any such persons left alive who would care to go through all of them to make the calculations...

And I think you're also right with what you say about the cobbler-role. Had we known there is a cobbler among us I think some lynchings might have gone the other way they did...

I am afraid you will fail my dear. . .Lommy is not a person that people want to kill early on and for some reason the wolves also seems to leave her alone.


Anyways I must say something about this whole "shade" thing. For the first time I decided not to care wither I got lynched or not and just have fun. A result of this decition was that I played in charachter first day. . .I had no idea that there was a charachter called the shade! I remembered the charachter, but I had forgot the name, it was by chance that I used the word "shade". At first I found it all very amusing, but the day we killed Legate it was getting annoying listening to Nogrod (no offence), luckely my vote made me look innocent.

I'm just an innocent girl! *directs all gloves and other missiles at Volo*

[The Sixth Wizard]

Innocent again!

I randomly searched 'werewolf strategies' and came up with this, which is quite good. I particularly emphasise rule 2, don't post too much. Personally it gets me off the track of the other posts I have read, and often doesn't get me convinced. A quick game's a good game, my teachers always say.

I think it's really a shame that the Shade Kit had to reveal. It must have shortened the game a mite, though Legate was going to be lynched anyway. (?)

Sorry I wasn't very active during this game, but the deadline was quite a problem for me. I always seemed to be on the computer when nobody else is. Sometimes I would wait four hours and only a few people had posted. I also had a problem with not being around right at the deadline. Bummer.

Good game everyone!

Wait till the ending narration comes!

I personally think that the Vampires were overpowered, they only got 9/20 killed before they met their doom. Hard to say, it might be even harder for the Vampires with fewer players...


Have to go...
