Werewolf LIII: The Republic

I'm here, though, and I will update the thread regularily so last-minute comments will be heard...

++lynch Greenie

For reasons previously stated (and unstated, I'm too lazy to format those and they hardly matter).

If it is indeed you, Greenie, then my hats off to you, because you've played brilliantly this far. It never entered my mind to suspect you before toDay, you were so convincing. Your only mistake that can be pointed out was killing Kath instead of me - and I tell you, I might have made the same mistake had I been you.

If it is you, Nerwen, I say that whether your missing your rep vote was intentional or not, it was just way too nasty... Also, you would have been fooling me all too well and made some very nice ploys of your own. I once decided to never again trust you in ww and now I see I've actually started to trust you a little. However, if you are the wolf, I will never ever trust you again nor change my main suspect on the last Day.

If it is you, Brinn, then I'm speechless because you must be one of the biggest sneaking and acting geniuses in whole ww history and I have no grudging feelings because you absolutely deserve your victory.

It's in the Goddesses' hands now. Whichever side wins, it is a well-deserved victory, I think we can agree on that. Good night!

Now that was the most amazing game I've ever witnessed. Do y'all want the results now or shall I hold out on you for another five and a half hours?

Why postpone it?

Okay, here goes:

After the unfathomably entertaining muck-up of the wolves early in the game (ie: not killing Boromir or the phantom), Brinniel managed to secure an absolutely astonishing victory for her lupine companions.

It was a close call now and again, but man oh man did this girl pull through day after long and arduous day.

My hat's off to you, girl, and my eternal debt is of course also owed to Mithalwen and Rikae, my co-moddesses extraordinairre, Macalaure (who very thoughtfully offered help when I rather needed it), Formendacil whose awesome guest narration paved the way for some of the utterly insane death posts some of you guys got, and the phantom who wrote his own death (and who really did request not to be a wolf).

A few questions answered:

Yes, all roles were handpicked. Wolves were picked based on a casual blend of experience, ability to work together, and timezone (mostly timezone). Seer was picked because I wanted a filibuster, darn it!

My dream game involved the wolves conspiring to block a key vote at some suspenseful moment.

Alas, dreams foiled...

Everybody: amazing job. I loved this experience, even though 48 hour Days make for a looooooong game.

Yay Brinn!!!

My faith was on trial yesterDay - and the Day before - when it seemed all the people suspected you the most.

Really Lommy, how can you make an argument that "she seems to post a lot and is involved - therefore she is not a wolf"???

Isn't it on the contrary?

If you wanted a filibuster why did you set the deadline on 6AM here? I had all the plans of making it on the concept of "Infinity" but I never had a chance to go for it...

I mean I was prepared to make it for three to four hours but someone - morm that is - should have had to carry it on.... and tp managed to halt that procedure.

Next time you should not give the people a vote for "no-filibusters" if you wish those to occur - or at least adjust the deadline so that those able, willing and needy to do that can actually try it...


But yes, this was really an amazing game!

I'll be looking back to it tomorrow with a few comments but now it's 1.30AM and I need to go to sleep.

Because I can't very well set a deadline that I won't be around for.

The Night where Brin skipped her kill- I was surprised it wasn't a hot topic of discussion till the end. When I heard what had been done I thought it was great and would yield entertaining fights. I was hoping to see endless circles of arguing about why so-and-so would do it, and people shouting how they would never take such a risk.

Other than that, my largest disappointment was losing Legate so early. He was being very entertaining. The thread could have used more of his Star Wars quotes.

Yes, watching those days was amazing. On both days I thought, "The game's over. Brin's dead. Nearly everyone is leaning that way." But then I come home and check the thread and nope- game still going. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.

[Brinniel]

Oh wow. After 28 days of the biggest WW rollercoaster ever, I can finally relax..

It may be cold outside, but boy do I feel toasty right now.

When Noggie and morm got lynched, I was confident that I was performing at my worst. And I was, at least during the Night phases. I honestly didn't think I could survive five Days as a lone wolf. Especially on that Day Rune and Greenie were the two reps...I was so sure he wouldn't let me slip away (I always hate that he never trusts me, but now he probably never will ). I admit there were times I got really frustrated, and any frustrations I expressed within the game were honest frustrations. But I refused to give up as I didn't want to let my fellow wolves down. morm, I may be eating my boot, but at least it didn't kill me. Thank goodness for that.

Well in her defense, I can become quite involved when I'm innocent too. Remember the game you modded last year? Boy was that a disaster...

I know...that was my whole intention when I chose to skip the kill, so I was disappointed when no real chaos resulted from it. I told Fea I had a bad feeling that I'd be the next lynching candidate the following Day, so while I had the chance I wanted to do something crazy that no one would expect from me. But in the end, it had no effect whatsoever.

On Day 7, I was so sure I would die. With classes all day, I had no time to properly defend myself which is why I made that pleading post...it really was my last desperate attempt to stay alive. But I didn't think my plead post would actual convince anyone to change their minds. After my last class, I ran to the nearest computer outside the classroom to see whether I had been lynched after all (my stomach had been in a knot for the entire 1 hour and 45 minutes). Boy was I surprised to discover that Ilya had been the chosen one to die. I laughed all the way down to the dining hall.
