" the dangers of playing this game that it makes one accuse and be suspicious of people in our real lives! Or is it just me?"

It might be just you, I certainly didn't have that problem...I did however run into a more unique problem...I watched Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap the same day I was lynched. Throughout the play I kept thinking things like "Now if Saucepan Man there were the murderer then..."

I don't know which was worse, the fact that this game had so invaded my life or the fact that I now picture us all snowed in at a guest house. *sighs* oh well...

Awesome!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This was a really fun game!

Shelob and Holby, it was a true joy to wreak havoc with you two. Grrrrrrr-l power!

I was laughing so hard this whole game...every new theory had me rolling on the floor. Thank you especially to SpM, Fordim, and dear dear Kuru.

Holby m'dear, I'm so sorry: I forgot about your EYES!!!!

That would have been pretty disastrous if you had PMd Fordim - did you realise the mistake as you were typing? I had considered PMing the wolves to make sure they knew that they had been foiled. Little did I realise how important that might have been!

I had asked Eomer in the event of my death, if he would put something in about my eyes, that could be my signature death. That's fine, I had forgotten it myself. The irony of this is that I totally freak out in real-life about any sort of eye-injury. I love to watch operations except anything to do with eyes.

I was reading the posts after Firefoot's save of Fordim. Someone had mentioned both scenarios, so that's what saved me. I know I would have put in all our names!
I'm glad you didn't P.M. to let us know. It was kinda of fun thinking and wondering and hoping. After awhile though, it's obvious we didn't get the cursed because Fordim had not contacted us. And it would have been quite funny to see the turn of events had I made that fatal blunder.

Another thing, we didn't kill TGWBS to cast suspicion on Forim. He just happened to be the first one killed who wasn't a major accuser or suspicious person.

When Fordim had been saved by Firefoot that night, I forgot about the guardian. I almost P.M.'ed him welcoming him to our pack!!
Yes, one of the benefits of being an innocent (and entirely ordinary) Villager is that you don't have to be so careful what you say. Most of the time, I just posted my thoughts and opinions honestly and openly (although, given the direction in which they took me, they were what led to me being a major suspect for most of the time that I was playing).

Of course, a disadvantage of being an innocent Villager is that you read suspicious motives in everything that is said or done ...

I guess that the beauty of games like this, and especially of this particular game, is that you get to watch brilliant minds at work, analysing everything with the clarity of reason and common sense and coming to the wrong conclusion.

Many of you were unintentionally hilarious in your misplaced certainty.

Especially Kuruharan.
