The truth is, we chose the roles completely at random - I don't know how most mods do it these days, but I for example used to choose the roles randomly but sometimes dabble with them a little - because it's really the fairest way to do it. So you can judge if Fortuna was on your side or not.

Indeed. This time, we did not dabble with the roles at all, since we forbade ourselves to, so even after we picked up Zil who has been a Wolf just the previous game, and Nerwen who has been a Ranger just before too, we were like "okay, that's their destiny".

I have yet to figure out why I seem to be a wolf so often. Whether the roles are randomly picked or not, evil roles seem to come to me more often than not. Is someone trying to tell me something?

Maybe we should keep that in mind the next game.

I think everyone already does, hence the problem.

I'm almost always innocent and considered wolfish... If I ever end up a seer the village is doomed

Also on Day 2 did I seriouls pick the only innocent out of the pom wagon to go after?

Cheer up, you went after Sallywolf later, didn't you?

And Lottie, I'm really not sure what made me think you were the Hunter. But the Night Brinn died, I got this very strong hunch you and she were the other gifteds, probably the Hunter and Seer respectively. I was *this* close to protecting her, but at the last moment Zil's Good Ideas Fairy convinced me the wolves were more likely to go for you that Night- and I thought you were probably hunting me at that point.

I was really kicking myself the next Day, I can tell you!

I...don't think I ever hunted you, actually. I was a very uncreative Hunter, mostly vacillating between Morsul and Nog.

I am typically always Ordinary, I feel it is to make people feel silly for lynching me, but I give enough reason to be lynched. This game we had 2 days that fell into the Wolf's plans by lynching me and Morsul.

Well! I am very sorry about being all but M.I.A the last few Days of the game! I actually thought I wasn't going to be able to vote the last Day with my internet being such a pain. It was literally JUST this thread as well.

Glad to see though that my lack of presence didn't cause any serious problems! To be honest I'm relieved I couldn't get back on as I'd have analysed Nogrod and no doubt decided he was horrendously guilty and voted him instead! Gut feeling all the way.

Well done wolves though! A couple of very good calls from you countered by some very good moves by the Gifteds! Certainly made for an entertaining game.

Thanks Lommy and Legate for a great idea! Are you glad or sad that the troll talk didn't go on longer?!

Speaking for myself, I think it was about the right amount. I think it actually lasted long enough to be lots of fun, longer than I expected (for the good). And I think it's natural to assume that people wouldn't really continue with it on Day 2 (or even less, following days) since they will be already focused fully on the game. So yeah, it was fun (with some really really hilarious lines)

[Volo]

Whew! What a game!

It was hard accepting being the Cobbler, since I really wanted to play as honestly as I could. So I decided to do so except for strategising my dreaming-pattern. Due to the game causing loads of stress on my bohemian lifestyle and vice-versa, I wanted to keep it short. I hoped to come out as the Seer on around Day4 offering all the remaining wolves. But I couldn't find a proper suspect and decided that Night1 I dreamed of an Innocent Morsul and Night2 of, like many guessed, Rikae. I did hope on being a rather too obvious Seer who could seem more plausable after the revelation, or if not, turn the discussion to the topic at the least. This game I pretty much reread only Day1 before my death while trying to be uninfluenced by others' analyses, which left me outside the current discussion.

I honestly thought Boro and Gil looked most suspicious during Day2, or Gifted.

There's loads of nostalgia towards the game, and once in a while I'm reminded to return to it, always trying to refresh my attitude. But I think this was truly the last game I play, since the feeling of being in a hurry and talking grammatically dubious nonsense due to that doesn't sound appealing, and stressing out for days due to a potentially broadly educating game and seeing people I want to have fun with become frustrated sounds even less enjoyable. These WWs are really interesting and plain weird reading, but I think I'll rather play live-WW myself. With loads of stuff going on and rather not knowing what happens next day, I prefer really taking the time to play WW for hours and nothing else and not having it stretched out for over a week.

There was loads of good playing and it was a pleasure to see many familiar faces improved and perceptive and motivated newcomers. I've learned loads on this forum and found your company interesting and inspiring - starting with not having another place to acquaint myself with such an international, varied and yet well-mannered lot. It is still time to move on.
Have great times!

[Inziladun]

Volo, I hate that we went after you, but you played your pseudo-Gifted part all too well.

I really hope this isn't your last game, though. I myself find that it's become increasingly difficult to find the time for WW, though it's not as major an issue when I'm an Ordo. It seems that things for me RL are rather routine when I'm not involved in a game, but as soon as one begins things start popping up.

Still, I have fun flailing about and messing with minds regardless of my alignment, and if I'm fated to be early lynch-fodder, so be it.

I hope you'll reconsider, and play again one day.
