Game 3: was busy all day, so no talking from me. lynched day 1. came back as hunter around end of game to replace the storm maiden(she has been gone too long).

what really got me frustrated was that every strategy i tried, it always got me lynched. made me want to give up WW for good seeing how i get no good games out of it. but i stuck by, and i had two great games. one where i was a werewolf and survived till end(taking dear nogrod down with me) and the other where i was glorfindel the hunter and killed a balrog with me. those games are few and rare now a days...

I cannot remember if I was playing or just following the game where you stuck around to the end, but actually that game is the exeption that confirms the rule about you and ww. . .

Anywasy Gil, I am sorry to say this, but even when you change your tactics there is little change to spot for us. .. (me) Even when you try to be vocal you still apear to be silent, I guess it has something to do with the way you write. . . But this is just my opinion, I might be totaly mistaking.

Hmmm... I agree. But there is a difference between a vocal and a silent Gil, I think. And Gil you were brilliant in the werebalrog-game.

Sally, I'm curious - did you have any specific reasons for picking the dreams you picked?

[Gil-Galad]

my playing style, how i describe it, is one of watching then deciding. the biggest mistakes in every WW game is acting to fast without fully thinking it over. i tried to preach that more in this game, but alas i got lynched for it too.

let me ask you this, which would you rather lynch?

a loud Gil that brings nothing to the discussion, just useless babble.

or

a collected Gil that talks when he should and tries not to give out random suspicions based on loose and broken examples.


i pretty much after every game i am always stating why i was lynched, i just want players to think before lynching me for the same reason every game...

I'm sorry, Gil-galad. I wouldn't have voted for you if I had been innocent. First days are rubbish; it's almost useless to try to do anything constructive with them if you want to stay alive, which is actually all the first day is really about: survival. If you try to be helpful, they kill you.

Not the first couple of nights, no. The first night I dreamt Noggie because....well, because I always have such a hard time reading him, and if there's anyone I wanted to know right away which side he was on, it was him.
The second night I decided to dream either Nerwen or Rune; why I ended up picking Rune I don't remember, but I'm glad I did because the Day dawned and Nerwen was dead.
After we killed poor Agan, I found Ka and Gwath equally suspicious, but I figured that Gwath had escaped my attention long enough, and lo and behold I found myself a traitor. And our lovely Miss Greenie took care of one for us of course, which was a big help.
I looked back at the voting the next night and figured Cabbie was an ordo because who in their right mind would sic their entire wolfpack on their packmate, especially when Cabbie had been doing really well and their antics could have gotten him killed? (I figured I could always dream him the next night if it became necessary) That left me with a Night 4 dream going to either you (Lommie) or Menel. At that point, I still had no suspicions of Groin at all. I decided since all my dream subjects had survived so far, I'd try to find an ordo rather than a wolf, and then it would be just a game of odds between Lommie and Groin and if we got the wrong one I'd probably get killed but the others could rectify my mistake the next Day. So I dreamt Menel as innocent and the rest you know.

One day, Nogrod, Thinlómien, Aganzir and A Little Green decided to have a little fun with their characters...

[Thinlómien]

Tom Bombadil




Gildor Inglorion




Gildor fights a Nasty She-Balrog

[Aganzir]

Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, who refused to be barefoot as the temperature was only a bit above zero.




Lobelia fights Éomer (since they didn't really get along)

[A Little Green]

Éomer son of Éomund, the 3rd Marshal of the Mark, and his grave




Éomer and his dear cousin Théodred shared the horse on their way to Rivendell...




...and then Éomer got a bit carried away
