Ah, so Izzy was the Ranger! I had been guessing Shasta.

I wasn't sure who to be rooting for as I watched. Mac had been doing such an excellent job of appearing logically innocent that I wanted him to be rewarded. But after no one listening to Shasta in the last game I wanted to see him succeed this time.

Well done, dad.

Next time I'm in a game with Shasta, I'm going to try and help him win, whatever he may be.

I am not taking it badly, I just must be more thorough. About the only thing that seemed odd about him was that he didn't suspect me which he often does when I we are both innocent.... but then Boro didn't suspect me either .. most disquieting. It just turned out that he was the coolest wolf I have ever encountered.

Well, that was exciting/frustrating/interesting...

First of all, right when the game started, I noticed Mac seemed edgy during our phone conversations and pointed it out. Of course I suspected it might have to do with the game, but I decided to consider it "inadmissible evidence" and not accuse him in-game unless he did something suspicious there... besides, I thought he might be a gifted...
and he killed me because he didn't want to have to go on hiding something from me in RL! Just when I wanted to gloat about catching Sally, too (people seem to think I'm this great legendary player, but I've always felt pretty lousy at wolf-hunting).
Well, I'm proud of him, anyway, for playing such a good game (although I would have liked the chance to catch him), and I've been rooting for him the last few days --- and now, a couple hours ago, Shasta PMs me and tells me he's not the real ranger!
Of course, I assumed Boro was, and that poor Mac, who thought he'd won, would be foiled in an attempt to kill Shasta toNight and be immediately lynched the next day. (Not that I would have warned him, of course!)

Well, excellent game, everyone!

I did, but not because of the missed protection of Nilp. Something in your "tone of voice", hard to explain.

It was a terrible dilemma: I couldn't kill you because I first had seers/known innocent to deal with, and then I needed you as a possible scapegoat.

I didn't dare to attack Shasta, and of the others, you were the one least likely to be lynched. You were the logical pick for me.

I feared so.

phantom, may I ask what it was that made you suspect me?

As a matter of fact, I also happened to suspect her to be the ranger at the time.

How do I manage to spend as much time as I do at the top of suspect lists? Am I cursed? Is it something to do with my writing style?

Sigh.

I hate werewolves so much.

Aha, I knew it was Mac!

After I was killed, I tried to figure out why these so innocent looking people who voted for a wolf weren't dying...my conclusion was that one wolf was hiding among them. If Mac had picked off say Izzy or Mith, people might start paying attention to him and why he's not dead. Better to leave all the so-called innocents alive and keep the village confused.

Of course for awhile I was trying to figure who among them could've been the wolf. Mac came to mind because I know he's flown under the radar and fooled the entire village before. I think it might've been Noggie's game he played so smoothly; it came as a shocker...I didn't see it coming. I figured he might be able to accomplish such a feat twice.

Hats off to the wolves, especially Mac (who fooled the entire village once again).

It was a great game, though I admit I was a bit disappointed to be killed so early on (I think a lot of that disappointment came because I really didn't expect it, being suspected and such). I've noticed from past games, wolves find me quite tasty.

Btw Durelin, I enjoyed my death scene. It was worth the wait.
