Thumbs up

I just have to say that this was one of the most fun games I've ever played in. I want to thank tp for making me a seer, it really made my "night" when I got the PM. It's the first time I've ever been active during a day as a Seer, and I proved to be one of the most woefully unsubtle seers in the history of the game (:P) but it was still a blast.

It was a little frustrating to see everyone complaining about tp being bossy, but that's just perhaps because I knew him to be the GW, without a doubt, and I remembered all too well how the village rebelled against Gurthang's lead and lost afterwards.

Got a question for Rikae and her wolves -- when did you figure out I was the Seer? Before or after you scried Lalaith? Did you recall my vote for Mac right away? (Which pretty much discredited me as the GW because what GW would put her Ranger in such a spot as he'd have to reveal to save himself?) At any rate, my fake Good Wizard reveal was an attempt to

A.) seal Cailin's doom
B.) prevent a wasted lynch of either tp or Rikae
C.) death of an innocent Legate
D.) discourage you from scrying me to prevent me from dreaming.

So I was quite happy when I was killed, as I figured my bluff actually worked halfway good enough to bring Nilp down. When Lal was scried I figured it was over for me, unless tp chose to Ranger protect me, but in truth it was a relief to go and not have to keep up a GW bluff the next day.

Anyway, congrats to the village for outing the last wolf (my former ally! what a twisty game!) and big props to Roa for being a much more level headed and subtle gifted -- reading over the posts the day after I was killed I marveled at how if I hadn't known better I'd never have guessed you were in cahoots with tp.

So yay! We won! *does a little dance* It was great fun. And I can attest to how hard the good team worked for this win, during nights when we were pm'ing back and forth. We were certainly competing just as much as the "baddies" and all tp's scrying and dreaming was brilliantly done, nothing was just dumb luck.

Oh and of course, thank you Nogrod for putting this massive game together, it takes quite the mod to oversee such a wild and crazy complicated game.

Writing this for the second time...stupid net.

Well, sorry for not showing, but it looks like it was probably best.

And hah, looks like people were annoyed by my Day 5 rantings. It was all wind. Notice once phantom was gone I was securely on the village's side.

That was the most fun game...definitely at least tied with my run as a cobbler! Thank you to everyone for the awesome, awesome game (and for putting up with me)! Everyone played so brilliantly. Thank you especially to Nogrod for orchestrating all this! I can't imagine!

*applauds Rikae and phantom*!!

Thanks, Rikae. Echoing Di (who is totally my hero, though she did get two of my wolf-buddies ), that really made...well, this game for me.

Congratulations, village!

Not to sound bitter, or anything, but you've all noticed this, right?

Anyway, it was a very entertaining game to read... Was it Day 3 when everyone started impersonating everyone else?

I noticed it on Day 2 and that's why I started to suspect her. So you didn't die in vain. (And hey your death also protected the Good Wizard from being revealed on Day 1!)

We shall call you St. Nerwen and teach young villagers of how you were martyred for the cause.

We won! I'm sorry that I wasn't more help to the village. I feel like I just kind of muddled about and got in the way.

And while I am whining, I'd like to point out that I have yet to survive a game of WW.

Splendid wizarding, tp.

This was my first game in which I was killed by the wolves! Champagne!

We won!

That was great! I had a lot of fun this. It was interesting to see it from the other side.

I was really worried I was going to have to reveal myself at the end there. What can you do?

Special congrats to Eonwe for getting through his first game. You picked a doozy for a starter. We promise the next game wont be so complicated.

But who would've believed you?

Oh, that's right. You had a way to prove it, didn't you?

I'm quite busy at the moment, but I'll have time to post my thoughts tomorrow. Well played everyone.
