I said I could read Fea and the others are probably other Elmira kids or people she has played with a lot...

Shh, Nienna, don't tell them that. Now they'll ask you questions about me and I'll be in even more trouble.

That vote switch was the dumbest thing I've ever done. I had the retractions mixed up (who had retractions left and such), and was convinced that there was no way Nienna could catch up with morm. That's still not a reason for switching my vote at the last minute, and I still don't know why I did it, but bleh.

Also I only started to distrust morm a bit because of his gifteds reveal plan, because it relied on the bear as well as the wolves fearing the hunter, while the bear did not have any reason to fear the hunter (as a Night kill), which seemed to be something many overlooked.

That was something I did overlook. However for what it is worth this was one point where I began to trust Mac, Rikae and you even more and other less. It accomplished some of my purposes, I was hoping to verify the Nerwen was the cobbler too but that didn't happen although I was certain of it at the end.

phantom is actually very trust-worthy, especially so as a wolf. I'm not sure how he got the "distrust" label (the fear label is definitely understandable). My first game as a wolf, he was a fellow wolf, and he was just as candid as he was in this game as the Candor man.

In that one post when you laid out those you trusted and those you thought were guilty you were spot on. You trusted all the gifteds, and even if you pinned Form as a bear, you were still right about him. When you said you wished phantom was still alive because he would see the sense in what you were doing, we both thought you were going to fake a gifted reveal. Since you knew you were attacked by the wolves (though no one else did except them and the only person who could let everyone know was killed), and of course lynching you was a major mistake...almost on the same level as lynching the Seer. For, if you faked a gifted claim, you would be forcing the wolves to pick you again at night...thus providing protection for Mac, Rikae, and Durelin. The question though would be, would Mac, Rikae, and Durelin have gone along with it?

I mean obviously lynching the seer Day 1 is not a good start, but I still think the turning point was the day you were lynched. If you were not, and were trying to look gifted, the wolves would have most likely had to go after you, once they failed the night before. But as it happens you ended up lynched, and the wolves I believe that night chose Rikae, which turned the tide back in their favour. Oh and Mira picked Durelin, who couldn't have chosen Nienna, because she picked Nienna the night before. (Although I will point out Mira had no reason to fear the hunter, had Durelin had a wolf, despite being attacked by the bear, the wolf would have died with her )

I considered it but I feared being thought the cobbler at that point. With the cobbler in the game it would make it all the more difficult to pull it off.

Ranger- you didn’t protect anyone the night I died! *pouts* I practically begged the baddies to kill me that night. I figured at the least they’d kill but an Ordo, but at best I would attract both the Bear and the WWs (cutting down the losses for the Night), or that the Ranger would shield me from the kill. Ah well… at least you saved Morm.

And Morm- (I see Boro has already mentioned this) when you were making your comments about the Gifteds on the day you died and saying that Phantom would agree with where you were headed- I actually thought you were about to falsely claim Gifted status in order to remove your name from the lynch board as well as seal your death that night (thus shielding the true Gifteds). I figured the true Gifteds wouldn’t have questioned you at all, seeing as they’d realize you were signing your death warrant for that Night with your claim, but I suppose you were worried about some Gifted not evaluating the situation carefully before rashly questioning your claim?

And just fyi Rikae, once you posted this on Day 2 -> “Well, I definitely don't think they're sheriffs, at any rate“ I never intended to vote for you after that point, but I still wanted you to look rather lynchable.

In addition, on Day 2 I truly did desire to see a tie in the voting (a three-way tie would’ve been excellent). Why? Well, my reasoning is more than slightly underhanded. Having modded WW games before, I know how strong a Mod’s desire is to see a good game (i.e. not a slaughter, but a balanced contest). Since we had lost our Seer already on Day 1, the good-guys were behind the 8-ball just a bit and so I figured if we could tie the voting score, if yet another Gifted happened to be on the chopping block, Boro’s coin would’ve somehow found a way not to kill the Gifted.

So yeah… I was banking on Moderator tweaking and betting that turning the lynch into a coin flip was the best way to avoid another disaster. Does that make me a cheater?

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to mention. I got Wilwa. That means I win. Take that, baddies!

Psh, I said I distrust and fear her. Living with her only made that worse.

I'm about to fall asleep and I still have a few things to do, but I would like to mention a couple things.

1) NIENNA I'M STILL MAD AT YOU.

2) Boro is awesome mod for letting me have such a fun role.

3) FORM WE'RE FIGHTING TOO.

4) Thanks for killing the seer Day 1, guys. I appreciated it.

Mira, you just made me cackle like a mad banshee.


Not an impressive feat, really, but still. I'm rather angry at Form, who was guilty in my book but managed to escape death repeatedly because I kept shifting my focus to Morm and Nessa. Rubbish.

Glad to be of service, my dear. Shall we start an "I hate Form" fanclub?

Ditto. You're the awesomest village ever!

That and you all managed to have both the Wolves on the wall--hugely suspicious--and still manage to kill Morm and then give us a free pass the next Day.

You were too kind.

Oh, but, Love, that wasn't my fault--I was being terribly suspicious, you know.

But all this hating is so pedestrian. Can't we just kiss and make up? Especially the kissing part...
