I'm back, sorry about the delay. But at least I don't need to worry about accidentally voting for in innocent toDay: I'm the real Guardian.

Which means I can be very sure in placing my vote for

++Kath

So what do you say, Kit? I really feel like we should agree on this rather than risk crossing our votes and royally screwing this up somehow.


EDIT: x'd with Kit

Well for both Kath and Cop I felt they both flew below the radar. Neither really laid out many suspicions, neither garnered much suspicion.

They seemed to be on at opposite times, thus making it hard to counter reveal close together.

Cop seemed like she was looking for ways to get a counter reveal to save Nerwen. But Kath was a suspicion of Lottie, making me wonder if Lottie died as seer for defending you and point to Kath.

Unfortunately I agree on both points.

I still think Kath's language so far as been suspiciously unnatural, but I suppose if she were the ranger, she could also just have been feeling pressure.

Because things

Oh. Right. I almost forgot. I'm a guardian, you guys. Didn't see that reveal coming, did you?

We have two minutes to decide. Shall we agree Kath is the ranger? Or Cop is the ranger? We're sunk if we're wrong...

Not unless you do it as well. I'm all for a four-way reveal at end game, honestly. It'd be hilarious.

Lommy lied. I lied. I'm the guardian, not the maniac.

It's funny because I've been hoping for that since your reveal and I really want you to be serious about this.

Me too! I knew it was a possibility, though I couldn't really take it into account for my plans. If Lommy, Kitanna and the real Maniac had been working together like that, I would have been incredibly impressed.

Indulging you? Inzil the modest! Thank you very much for moderating this game. The narration segments were great.

I think this was a great premise. Before this game I went ahead and read the game this one was a sequel to, and I liked it a lot. Having a sequel was a great idea.

Thanks for the kind words! I was just trying to make it fun, and at the same time make sense.

Sorry, village. You would by rights have won if not for Shasta getting mod-fired. Hope he's okay - he'd have to be busy to miss the vote two days.

I feel a bit bad about winning at a time when I didn't spend as much time on the game as I would have liked and didn't end up listing many suspicions. I was planning to be careful, but not that careful. But since I had to vote early on Day 2, using just Day 1 info, and then the next Day Lommy revealed while I was trying to put together a substantial analysis, there wasn't much chance. And I got rather apathetic, since I thought the moviephiles were a-doomed after that. Which is why I picked Lommy on Night 4, since I thought it was better to go for the best case scenario even if it was risky.

On the other hand, the glorious Tolkien movies have been saved, and I have avenged the honour of Nerwen and Boro! Out of the films, I would have settled just for The Fellowship of the Ring being retained. If Shasta hadn't been mod-fired, I would have had a 0% chance of victory and would have spent the day trying to negotiate and persuade everyone of the merits of that film, possibly using clips of Boromir's death scene. The other films could go. (That is, if Inzil wouldn't allow me to just pick Kitanna on Night 5. My night kill pick was Lommy if Shasta was mod fired, but Kitanna if he wasn't.)

It's interesting, some of the things I did that people thought were suspicious were complete coincidences. Like voting for Sally on Day 2, giving the impression there was a wolf plot against her, or not blindly accepting the Maniac and Seer proclamations, giving the impression I was trying to push for a counter-reveal. I wasn't doing either of those! A wolf's worst enemy seems to be the urge to correct with a "no, that wasn't my plan at all! I was doing something else!".
