WW: LXXXIV - Middle Earth in Fifteen Minutes

[Thinlómien]

YAY! You know when I woke up toDay at 4pm ( but my last post on this thread was from 5.30 am and then I got stuck talking with a friend who was staying overnight for yet one more hour) I was so sure I had chosen wrong. So, when Agan who had checked the thread when she woke up told me "btw the village won" I was quite happy.

I have to say it's been a long time since there was a game to give me so much headache. (Probably the last time I was the ranger. Funny.) I so much wanted to make a second save and be really cool, but alas that didn't happen! At some point I thought it'd be better to be predictable than a fail (that's why I protected Nessa the Night when Greenie died - funnily, I protected Greenie the Night before! - and was only able to protect myself the last Night. I was quite unhappy to realise that because I thought dying the last Night and leaving the mess for Nessa would've been quite a nice way to do it and more heroic than failing on the last Day. Legate - did you figure out I protected Nessa the Night before, or why did you kill her?)

And you wolves - you were just brilliant! I had my suspicions of Zil, but as somebody pointed out, I flip-flopped quite a lot. I'm not sure what would've happened without Eomer's dream. (Hats off Mr. Of The Rohirrim!) But Wilwa and Legate... oh my. You were just incredible. Too bad Eomer had delivered us a known innocent and Boro was lynched earlier on. After all, it was really evident LRH and Legate can't be wolves together, so that's what killed Wilwa. And as for Legate - well, that really was unclear for me, a few shaky arguments to support my suspicion of him over Elra and some luck. Had the game gone differently, I have no doubt you'd have won. It was so close even now.

It was a blast of a game. Thanks everybody - especially Shasta for giving the roles to whom you did and inventing the heir and for the wolves for being the kind of adversaries you can really take pride in beating, knowing it could so well have ended the other way but this time it didn't.


PS. My picks: Night2 Lottie (I figured the wolves would go for someone who looks as ordoish as possible - and btw I was really hoping Sally to be the hunter, that would've been brilliant from her!), Night3 Eomer (smelled of seer to me), Night4 Greenie (thought that if the wolves weren't sure about the identity of the seer, Greenie would be the other option, and also, like I told Shasta, Greenie is an Eomer of sorts too), Night4 Nessa (also considered protecting myself, but decided rather to be safe than sorry), Night5 myself (no other choice, obviously!).

PPS. What can we learn from this game: 1. Don't trust the police. 2. Don't trust the sweetest girl you know. 3. Don't trust your boyfriend.
