Thumbs up

HA!

We won! I'm not even sad by being completely fooled by Legate because I got my epic bloodbath suggestion thorugh and a victory to the village.

Also, happy to have caught Zil.

I liked this game a lot, thanks everybody, especially the moddessess. <3 I'm sorry to have been a part of bringing such a quick end to it, but at least now this game won't mess up my RL schedules anymore...

PS. Dear Moddessess, don't sulk, you just shouldn't have allowed either splitting the votes or multiple lynches (which I dislike anyway). That's why we won it so easily this time...

Ah well, I guess there was no way to stop that one... a slight downside of unlimited multi-lynches, I'd say (that goes also for the opposite, for instance if it happened that all SoE got into the Rep position and decided to wipe out nine villagers plus one at Night). Experiments need checking for balance, I know it also from personal experience... Nonetheless! This was really fun game, and I especially liked my pack. Thanks, Inzil (good cooperation!), Greenie (brave, how unfortunate ending!) and Lottie (what a pity you couldn't last longer!). And what I liked a lot was that I managed to generally refrain from being suspected, in fact, all of us mostly did. Ah, what an unfortunate turn of events. Although, I must say, catching the Seer was giving us nightmares, right, Zil? One of the most memorable parts of the game was probably going through endless options on the Night when Mira was killed. (And that same Night, I actually concluded that phorc has to be OoUA! It was his attempt to "Seer-contact" somebody - we of course knew that the OoUA has sided with the village - and then, I have concluded that his "Orcs are baddies" was his way of interpretating the game, as the only thing that didn't make sense for me was that Phantom would not have joined the Wolves - I would have expected the OoUA to join the SoE "for sport" and also because they were baddies, and then I thought that the problem was that the "Wolves" were not baddies in this game, so perhaps that...)

Anyway, it was enjoyable, hats off to Shasta for good spotting and to Nerwen for keeping her identity tactically so well... and to everybody else, it was really nice. Except for the ending (I must say, I really think game-wise it was a bit lame, regardless of the side I was on. Although in a way, if the game continued, I am not sure if the ending would have been more spectacular. On the other hand, narration-wise, what ending could possibly have been more Orc-like than everybody killing each other, eh?)

And thanks for the game to Fea and Ni, for giving us a Rep game after some time again, and for putting a new fresh wind into the way of making narrations

Hey, good job everyone! Mass lynching hasn't happened in quite a while, it's very fun!

Great job Ni and Fea!!! Thanks for a great game, and wonderful narrations!

You know, really, since only ordos were dropping out, it really made the game a lot tighter there at the end. So the fact that the village won really says something. We lost quite a big number of people.

It was a really good game. Fea, your narations cracked me up. Thanks for allowing me to join you all.

I had a dream last night where Boro started a game that he was narating and I had already agreed to play in his game...it really worried me, because I knew I didn't have time for it, but I thought I had to play since I'd already agreed. But it wasn't the only strange dream I had last night.

Nonsense! We made history! You should feel privileged to have taken part in the Great Werewolf Massacre of 2010. Though I admit it was possibly a little more fun for those of us doing the actual massacring.

I'll agree with this statement. The actual massacring was the best part.

That sure was a surprising ending!!! Go orcs go! *is proud of his orc-companions*

Yeah, I really ended up with the wrong theory... I was thinking that Sally was the seer and she had dreamt of phantom on the first Night. It actually made sense (even after close-reading Sally's posts early on D1) and explained how they both acted... and gave me total frustration when everyone was asking why I insisted on the seer to check them (he-he, I thought there was a pretty nice flavour there, especially looking at what happened the next Night) - and that's also the reason why I tried to downplay the importance of checking them by lynching - as not to make the elves too interested.

And yes, I was going to go for Greenie and Legate the next Day... They had made me quite nervous all the time and when my previous theory went tumbling down I thought I could have been up to something with their voting and all too careful defence of Lottie. But clearly, toying with the seer issue was not only brave but also (too) dangerous to me...

But hey, it was a fun game! And I especially loved the cartoon narations! (Correct: I found one of the elves disturbingly Shasta-looklike! )

Thanks everyone for the game and congrats to the winners (Fea & Nienna)!
