Werewolf XCVII: Werewolves in the Westfold Game Thread

[Galadriel55]

Hats off, Mr. Wolfreduin, hats off. Let me echo Menel - this is the craziest wolvery I've ever seen too.


By the way, I silently jumped on Pitchie’s vote in endgame. And sally – The Silm is not that bad you know.

[Galadriel55]

Nessa, even though I can’t help it to gloat about casting my first ever vote that killed a fenris, I’m sorry that it was you. As I said, I’m loath to vote someone who’s back from a very long break on D1. But if they look like a wolf, and smell like a wolf...

Nerwen, I apologize for suspecting you based on nothing on D1. The following Night I reevaluated everything based on Nessa’s role and thought I was crazy to almost vote you and would not suspect you at the start of the Day, but the wolves got rid of this trouble for me.

Zil, nice try. If you had done the false reveal on Day1 I would have believed you, except that there would have been no point in fake-revealing that Day. If it counts for anything, I thought you were completely innocent up to Kit’s reveal.

Kit, I bloody love you. ‘Nuff said.

Eomer, sorry about that. You must know, though, that I had an ulterior motive for voting you. I’m sure you remember... [/kidding, I especially love you for it] No, I didn’t. It just happened.

Everyone who was in the endgame, you’re all nuts and crazy and confusing to read about.

Shasta, that was just I think that the resulting confusion was a reason enough to kill me.

Cop, good try. You played exceptionally well for a first game. I think that after a year of playing I’m still not so good. *listens to screams of “look at her buddy up with Cop!”*

sally, you were almost there with Shasta!

Pitch, I’m sorry. I hope we fair better next time. But what’s a game of ww without innocent butchering innocent?


You sneaky sneaky Shasta. >< *shakes head*
 


Some thoughts that I wrote up yesterday when you were all still quiet and I was dead. (Why do you all start to talk when I'm asleep???)

[Galadriel55]

This game held a lot of “firsts” for me.



It is the first time I voted for a fenris.

It is the first time I helped lynch two wolves in the first two Days.

It is the first time I was not suspected “just because”.

It is the first time I was not suspected for my Day1 vote.

It is the first time someone, regardless of role, didn’t try to get a Galwagon going (either because they believe in it or because it’s convenient).

It is the first time I was Night-killed when there was a known innocent around.

It is the first time no one voted for me the entire game.



But some things never change. I still can’t participate in an endgame – I was so excited! I thought the wolf would 100% kill sally; even though I was under no serious suspicion it was more than a known innocent has (duh, they’re known). I was mentally preparing myself for a battle with paranoia. I even wrote a post overnight that I wanted to post when the Day starts. And when I saw that I was dead, I *slapped* the wolf (I knew who it was! It’s the person who killed me! ...yeah) and thought the exact same thought as sallycakes:

Insanity? Suicide? Shenanigans? No idea, but whatever the case, there is still one known innocent among us (hello, all), which means we have a ridiculously decent chance of catching a wolf toDay. Also, I'm still alive, so whatever the reason, I'm pleased.

Except that I was rather cross and not pleased at all that it happened this way.


On the last and fatal Day I was thinking “the wolf is either Pitch or Cop. Either he caught her or she caught him. Shasta doesn’t look all that guilty compared to the other two based on the situation... but then he’s Shasta, and that’s reason enough to suspect him on Day1!” 12 hours into the Day I have concluded decisively that I much prefer Sudoku to endgame puzzles unless I get to take a part in them, not just watch from the side.



Wow. Just wow.

Congratulations again, wolves! And thank you Menel for organising this game!

Hah...I think perhaps I'm not properly appreciating the apparent joy of making it to the endgame. Sorry to hear that you didn't make it this time, after waiting so long.

I thought you played extremely well. It's got to be unusual for someone to make it through every Day without real suspicion from anybody.

I wrote up a post for the final Day in advance, fully expecting you to still be alive, and I basically said that if you were the wolf, I conceded your victory right then.

[Nessa Telrunya]

Whoah, what a game! I was following avidly the whole way through!

Shasta, that was truly brilliant! I admire the way you crawled over our dead bodies to a victory

Now that might just be another first!



Well, not exactly first, but maybe second.

...except that I wasn't a wolf. It's a bit funny, actually, listening to all the speculation this game about whether I would buss two of my packmates. I can only wish I was such a dangerous wolf as I'm ascribed to be!
