Ouch, that morm-lynch was one of the worst moments I experienced in werewolf (almost right after an all-ordo-quadruple lynch that morm probably remembers, too). I mean, we could have avoided it, if only we would have been able to agree on which wolf to lynch first...

And I even made an analysis that gave me Form and Nienna as the most suspicious, but then the likelihood of Durelin picking Nienna and the sudden readiness of everyone to lynch Form made me mess everything up badly.

It was tough, though, when during one night all people I trusted died and those who were left were quiet or suspicious.

I'd also like to apologise to Inzil and Lommy, whose lynching bandwaggons I happened to start.

I guess I mistrusted my own judgement. That, and the fact that everyone agreed on lynching you - I just got the idea that you were being set up as an easy wolf scapegoat.

*sigh*

Actually, I did think she was strangely disconnected with the rest and said that she was a possible bear, but I strictly concentrated on wolves.

Meh, it happens. Like I said, I shouldn't have voted for Morm, or at least I should have explained it. But I decided at the last minute to entertain the idea of voting for someone besides Rikae, Morm lost my coin toss, and I had absolutely no time to post anything else after voting.
Overall, I thought you did very well.

I felt really dumb after we lynched Morm, and was kicking myself for not switching. (I actually did, but the board only lets you post every....30 seconds, is it?....so when it told me I couldn't post right away I figured it was a sign of something and I stuck with it.) If I would have put Morm in my survey he would have been in the fear section, not because I dislike him or anything but because I always think I can read him and then I turn out to be horribly wrong.

Also, I vote that Nessa and Nienna can't play together ever again. I kept getting them mixed up, and once I'd decided Nessa was the one I suspected I couldn't get off that train of thought. *headdesks*



And no one trusts me? This makes me sad. (I bet I know who said they did, come to think of it, and maybe who said they could read me. But four people distrust me? Come on! I'm cute and cuddly!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Incidentally, I put that I both fear and trust Phantom, because if I know he's on my side he's a great ally (as I noted in the game) but if I don't know what he's doing he freaks me out to no end for some reason!

Now having played with Phantom I am ready to stick him under fear. I said I had feared Fea and Inziladun.

Well, Alona was the one chosen randomly, and since it was going to be her first time Boro and I decided to choose someone that was more experienced (Form) to balance it out. Then the third I wanted it to be someone that I had wolfed with in the past so that I could kinda guess at their strategy (just to make it more interesting for myself ), so that came down between Nerwen, Nienna, Durelin and Lommy (4 of them, me and Kath had all been ducks in Sally's game). We decided to go with Nienna, probably cause she was very sneaky when I wolfed with her.

And I'm pretty sure it was you that had barely ever been an ord and we figured you should give that a try, haha , though I may be mixing you up with someone else for that.

Aww thanks dearie!

This whole game probably isn't going to help my tendency to be lynched on day One.

Sally: I'm me. Got it? Good.

I had a wonderful time playing with everyone and it was a lot of fun... a lot of tension and nerves... but a lot of fun.

Oh and the first thing we decided as wolves (aside from killing Lari first) was to use Facebook Message and IM instead of PM as I have a very observant roommate.

Also here is the screen capture of my desktop when I was getting the file for my Fea word cloud.



There is open: the 'Downs (of course), Facebook, a picture, and the word cloud generator. On the bottom there is AIM, the wolf chatroom, and then my word file full of notes. Which were highlighted and color coded with notes...

and I really did think Morm was the Bear. I was also pretty sure that Mac and Rikae were the sheriffs. It was this post of Rikae's that made me think it (was this on purpose?)

Yep. I was more afraid, at that point, of phantom getting me lynched (or at least wasting the whole day arguing with me) than of the wolves killing me.

Dislike? In this game, I consider fear and distrust a sign of respect. I fear Phantom and Durelin, and distrust Fea and Inzil... and they should all take that as a compliment. I wonder who thinks they can read me? I know it isn't Mac, he's told me before he can't read me at all.

I'm pretty sure I had you down for 'distrust' as well, so consider yourself equally complimented.

I think the worst day was the 1st coin-flip day. Right at the DL I got blasted by 4 or 5 messages. Most of them being "Come on already!" or "How long does it take for you to flip a coin!" I thought it would be really fun to make everyone wait for the narration, since I was getting bombarded from every direction, but feared there would be an insurrection if I didn't reveal immediately. Yes, you try flipping a coin after hearing 20 different dings all yelling at you to "get it done."

I wouldn't doubt it if that led to my computer malfunction, all the pure hotness coming through fried my hard drive.

Isn't anyone? And really was it that difficult? Everywhere I looked someone was telling me to get a hold of you, but no one told me how. So, you were just as difficult! Lucky then I actually opened one of sally's PMs.

I do too, but Morm and I argue enough that....well, you know.


I'm pretty sure it wasn't me either. You always confuse me like mad. You were on my distrust list though I think. Sneaky little minx.



Fine, Formie. Meet me in the closet in ten minutes. Just don't tell Boro. (The secret is that Mnemo's already going to be in there. With a flamethrower. Now that will be awkward.)

No, I hadn't been an ordo till this game. Let the record show: I DIE AS AN ORDO IN THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME.

Also, I would like to join the Form hating. He killed me and made me post my stats. And the same goes for Nienna. The hating part.

We'll pretend sally wasn't just ignoring me on MSN and I made her a death word cloud anyway.



Okay, now I'm REALLY off to bed.

This one might be deserved--mea culpa, mea culpa!

But, really, in hindsight, I can't feel all that bad about it... I wouldn't have got to play buddy-buddy with Nienna again, and we're on a two game winning streak now.

The village won in my game. You did not. You died. You were killed. Therefore the lovers couldn't win.

And shutting up about my game.

Anyway, it was well played guys, this one. It was sort of fun knowing everything and laughing from the sidelines.

True that. I'd be in the middle of painting a shelf or something and Nienna would say, "Mira requests a word with you at your earliest convenience."

Or I'd log onto MSN and get three or four people bombard me with "Fea, I don't know what to doooooo!"

It was cute.

I seem to remember a few texts about who to kill as well. And panicked ones about sending in a certain death.
