Tol-in-Gaurhoth LXIX: Were-Librarians

[Boromir88]

Don't worry Shasta, that Ranger slip was the worst mistake I ever made. As soon as I posted it I did a head desk and mentally said to myself 'Boro you dolt!' I tried to make up something on the spot once Mac and alona came after me, but hopefully I gave them as big of a headache as they gave me.

I think the reason I said it when Hakon had his hunch, is because I was feeling the same. I don't have any of the PMs (maybe Nessa or sally do), but I was worried Mac was coming after me so hard, he wanted us to attack him, thus was the Ranger. I have a tendancy to over-rate the Ranger and Hunter, I'm always so scared of them as a wolf.

I wish I could have survived at least that day, because I would have made sure we killed Fea during the night. I thought it looked like she was trying to play our snitch, but we already knew Shasta was the snitch, so felt she was up to something sneaky. Took too long to figure it out though.

What I said about the plan between sally and I was completely true (besides the fact that I hid the big picture I was a wolf). We figured neither of us could survive all the way, but if anyone could Nessa would, as long as sally and I last long enough and could cause a big enough distraction. The plan was, for me to look like the seer, and use Princess Bride references to signal my dreams. I would pretend I dreamt of sally first, and then just each day keep doing it with someone else, and if the real seer did come forward, sally would have my back. So was the plan, which bombed miserably, but it was quite fun dreaming up such a scheme.

The question as to why we killed wilwa, part of it was no-trail, but there were several other factors involved. We knew she didn't look like the seer, but she could have been another gifted, and also she looked like she would be a hard one to get lynched in this game, so out of the 5-6 names we were tossing around went with her.

Formendacil and Nienna it was fun to see you two in here again. And to the newcomes, wow you all have some nce instincts. And Brinn you should have told me you were going to try to save me...ha. Once Shasta's vote came up, I could only trust myself.

Great innocent play, combined with luck (oi nothing went our way!) led to a resounding massacre. 2 toss-up lynches go against us, the snitch proved to be a bigger problem than the gifteds (sorry Shasta, but don't be too hard on yourself. Curious though, do you read HP? I left a hint a about your vote being 'not-so-golden?') But even then any chance of escaping was quickly shut. Nessa got Form, but then Nienna picked her. We were counting on the Fea and Nerwen arguments to last a little while, then Fea goes and dreams of the ranger. Wherever we turned, got smacked back down.

I hope Nessa, we did not sour your first experience as a wolf. You were in a no-wn situation but were fighting admirably.

Last, but not least, an extremely enjoyable idea for a game Lari and Mira. Well done, even if it was a slaughter, it was noodles of fun

As far as a first game goes, I had a lot of fun. Lari knows how much the suspense of trying to figure out the roles was driving me up the wall. The reunion idea was great, and a little bittersweet since I just graduated high school myself.

*rolls up sleeves* Does anyone know who mods the next game and when it starts?

Ah, do you mean my IC bit where I went on about how hot you were? Of course, I must have looked like I was saying, "Hi there, I know you're on our side."

Well, thanks for saving me on Day One. And Nienna, too. We really owe you.

[Nessa Telrunya]

No hard feelings towards anyone, least of all my fellow wolves. Your plan was risky, but sure fun to watch.

Shasta, don't feel bad. I think it was kind of our fault that we weren't hinting at you good enough. But when I got the message "Shasta would like you to know that you are a wolf." I laughed so hard. Then I realized "Hey, that means he knows to help me at least!"

Once my companions were gone, my original plan was to frame Brinn.(nothing against you, I randomly picked) I was going to pick my Night kills by whoever had a clean record and would also cause enough confusion for the suspicious villagers leftover to battle it out with each other.

My reason for killing Form was about framing Brinn, because he had been really against her in the last day, and an obvious!Brinnwolf would most likely have wanted those who spoke out at her gone.

But then Nienna came forward. I knew I was dead then, but if I could hint at maybe being the Seer I would live. If I were to survive a lynching that Day, by pure luck, I wouldn't have killed the Lover at Night, so everyone would doubt her credibility. But then Fea came forward to glamorously crap on that idea.

I have to say, though, that was brilliant how both of you managed to tag team me! What were the chances of Form being the lover and Nienna dreaming of me, and having Seer visions to back up her credibility?

I will definitely keep playing this game. It's the most fun I've had in ages.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Knowing that Nienna was the other lover, it took all of my self control (just ask Lari, who was there) not to post something to the effect of, "Nienna will tell who she dreamed of when she gets home." I knew Nienna would kill me in my sleep if I stole her glamorous reveal, and though I knew she'd chosen to learn roles, I didn't know who she chose...

But I also knew...

She left for the day without posting. Which meant she was holding out on us.

Which meant I was pretty sure she had a wolf and wanted a fabulous reveal.

So I bit my tongue and went shopping with Lari, and it all worked out quite nicely.

[Nienna]

Great game everyone!! I'm with Form in holding out for a Lover win... though I believe we decided we would split it into thirds (Form with 1/3, me with 1/3, and the village with 1/3)

Lets see... Form and I were pretty sure from Day One that Fea was the seer and then we were pretty convinced Sally was a wolf. I wasn't terribly excited that Mac tried to kill me on Day One but I'm glad I survived. I was talking to Form and was like "I'm pretty sure they are going to try to kill me in my sleep... again." He was very positive in that at least I would be avenged but I was like "I don't mind sacrificing myself for the village but I would have at least liked to play a little before."

I had no idea about Boro... I didn't really think two wolves would be so obvious in their beginning escapades but that just shows what I know.

The other night when I found out that Formy died and that I got to know two roles I was sitting in my living room with the Moddesses (Fea had gone to bed) and so I was like ...I want to know Autume and Lari said innocent and then I thought for a second and said Nessa and the moddesses weren't terribly happy as they had to tell me she was the last wolf and knew their game was going to end.

I contemplated posting right at deadline on how I knew the last wolf but I decided that wouldn't be any fun. I woke up a little early and wrote out my post and then saved it without posting because I wanted to see what everyone would post about. It definitely was fascinating.

Anyway good game! Shasta we were pretty sure you were innocent after giving the kill vote to Sally but as soon as you said you were curious about who I thought was the Snitch I thought it was probably you.

[Lariren Shadow]

It was a fun game if tragically short. The wolves didn't have any luck, Sally actually was the vote winner Day 1 for lynching(only after I picked her name to die did I notice that she never retracted her vote for Nerwen making her vote for Nienna invalid. That's what I get for doing that while sick and just after work...). And Day 2 I really thought it would just be a Brinn lynch(sorry!) because, well, you voted for yourself. Then Alona and Boro started getting votes and Mira was here and I was talking to Sally and I think I may have...been wondering why more people hadn't voted in a possible loud way.

Shasta, don't feel bad you really had no luck. But from what happened I realized you had one of the harder roles to play, as you are blind to your wolves. And we did give you the last one...and then Nienna wanted to know Nessa's role

It was entertaining Day 1 to watch the way things played out.

And yes Form, a game this short wouldn't have been possible without Nienna's dreams. There I said it, but there could have been a case made against her as there was the Day before. Sort of.

Good game everyone and thanks for playing!

What? I don't get to come back to life? What about my poor motherless children??

Good job everyone! Village rocks!!!
