The villagers gathered in the town square for what they were sure was the last time. They looked around and noticed that it was Marcolie Lamen who was missing.

They decided not to go to her(?) house. Three of them were about to be killed, why put themselves through having to see another dead friend?

The last six stood around in a circle, waiting for the wolves to transform. Kuruharon and Anguirel had taken off their cloaks reveiling their weapons and armour. Both of them ready to protect and fight.

Dancing Spawn just stood there.

The phantom, Boromir88 and Lalaith started to laugh.

"This was great!" phantom said with a grin. "You guys had both your hunter and guardian and still lost."

"Path......etic" Lalaith said giggling furiously.

"Well, Tinseltown is ours now." Boromir said starting to get a little more serious.

They transformed. Kuru and Anguirel did their best to try to protect Spawn, their final villager, but the wolves were to strong.

Tinseltown had gone from 17 to 3.

From the town of Tinsel to the town of Wolves.

WEREWOLVES WIN!!!

I knew who you wolves were the moment you bandwaggoned Eonwe, disobeying my order to bandwagon Boro...argh...

Well, I can't say I didn't do my best. phantom, your decoy dream advertisement about Azaelia saved your wolf hide last night...

What?? It wasn't a decoy dream? Hmmm...

PHANTOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have no idea how angry I got when you killed me! I had everything worked out after I knew you were a wolf. The day after my dream, I would get you lynched, revealing my position. I'd have to trust that the ranger did his job and protected me. That night, I was going to dream about Boromir (because he was on the top of my suspicions) and then get him lynched the next day. 2 werewolves would be dead!. But I guess that's what I get for being so obvious about being the seer. With all my 'gut feelings' and all that. But (And I think i'll take the time to look for it later) , there were so many places where it was dead obvious that the phantom was a werewolf. From his very first post, where he says he's going from village to village running from the wolves. Anyone stop to think that he could be the person he keeps running from? Mr. Hide, anyone?

Not to mention constant mentions of 'Why haven't Kuruharan, phantom, and Boromir been lynched yet' . It seems the phantom is a wight indeed, as he has seduced the minds of the people. Boromir as well. Both made it clear that they would be running the show, and that they shouldn't be lynched because they're the thinkers. I think they're wearing my "I'm a Werewolf! Lynch me please!" under their vests". Lailath was never on my suspicions list. I tip my hat to you, for flying under my radar. But Boromir and Phantom, I don't think you did the good job Lailath did. You guys just mezmerized the town into not lynching you!

But...what's done is done. I hope WWXI comes swiftly, for I intend on joining

Cheers,

Well done! Possibly the greatest team performance by the wolves in any game. Absolutely brilliant.

Well played everyone, and congratulations to the werewolves. We should have known earlier looking back, but hindsight is always 20-20.

Two games in a row where the wolves have won without losing a member. Wow.

What about my last game Eomer? I believe all three of us survived till the end also. Just kidding. I do agree. This game was very well played. I had a lot of fun.

Impressive game, Boro, phantom, and Lalaith! Congratulations on your victory.

I wanted to throw something at the computer screen when Kuru revealed he was the Hunter. I was divided between tp being the Hunter after he posted all of those arrow icons and said so much about fighting or a wolf after the first two days (the reason I didn't want to accuse him just then). Once Kuru revealed his role, that settled things in a hurry.

Since a frog in my throat prevented me from using my DAY 3 post, here it is now. It took too many hours to write for me to simply consign to the Recycle Bin without giving it one airing.

Starting with a summary of yesterDAY’s vote:

1) Gil-Galad……………………Gil-Galad (1)
2) Eonwe………………………Kuru (1)
3) Dancing Spawn……………Gil-Galad (2)
4) Celuien………………………Gil-Galad (3)
5) Anguirel……………………Celuien (1)
6) the phantom…………………Wayne (1)
7) Lalaith………………………Celuien (2)
8) Boromir88……………………Wayne (2)
9) Kitanna………………………Wayne (3)
10) WaynetheGoblin……………Gil-Galad (4)
11) Márcolië Lamen……………Wayne (4)
12) Azaelia……………………Wayne (5)
13) Kuruharan …………………Wayne (6)

After the long discussion of ties and tie breaking, I think that it would have been fairly risky for any wolf to attempt to cause a double lynch yesterday as it would have been the best possible way to draw attention. For that reason, I’m removing Márcolië and Kitanna from particular scrutiny today – they were the only voters other than the unfortunate Wayne who came close to causing a tie.

Again, Kuru looks innocent to me – he’s only offered helpful information and worked pretty hard yesterday to keep the vote from ending in a tie.

Continuing the dialogue with Anguirel:

This is going to sound strange, but I’m now almost completely convinced that you are not a wolf. The statement is in no way meant to try and buy favor from you – it’s just what I think. Even more off the wall and at risk of sounding arrogant, I’m going to say that it was your late swing in my direction that finally convinced me. Why? I can see how I looked suspicious yesterday. At the same time, I don’t think I’m a good target for a real wolf to lead a charge against. Now that the Seer is gone, only the wolves know that I’m an innocent. And quite honestly, if I had been lynched yesterday and my completely ordinary status revealed, the future wouldn’t have looked promising for whoever lead the offensive to kill off an innocent villager who had been doing her best to help with theories and strategy. Especially if said leader had been under suspicion from several villagers (including me) as you were yesterday. An innocent with no way of really knowing that I’m not a wolf could reasonably lead the charge. But a wolf who knows that I’m not one of them I think would find me too dangerous to attack directly. However, hopping onto a “lynch Celuien” bandwagon lead by a suspicious villager might just be the perfect place for a wolf who could then turn against you the next day, point out that you lead the charge against a helpful innocent, and then make you the leading candidate for the next round of voting. So, I’ll finally join Kuru in bringing Lalaith onto my high suspect list.

And about your specific complaints against me: as far as I can see, you have three main points:
1) My first post yesterday came at a strategic moment. Yes, it did. On the first day, I drew suspicion for sounding too similar to other vocal villagers. I can’t help it if I think along the same lines as them, so I decided to preempt that accusation by having a post ready early. Who says that wolves are the only ones allowed to have a strategy when they post?
2) I offered to join the temporary alliance with you although the comment wasn’t directed at me. I already addressed this yesterday, but I’ll say it again. You were on my high suspicion list while the conversation with Márcolië was taking place. I thought it would be a good opportunity to extend an olive branch since the conversation addressed my concerns as well. Besides, you said you were in need of plural ALLIES, not AN ally, so I thought that the request could just as easily have been made to all who suspected you as to Márcolië only.
3) I made a mistake when misinterpreting Perky’s post. I knew this would probably come up when the error was pointed out. All I can say is that it was an honest mistake. But frankly, I think the mistake points more toward my innocence than anything else. It’s such a blatant error that a wolf could NOT afford to make it, either as a simple mistake or as a means of misleading the village. At least, a smart wolf would never do so. It’s too obvious a point to give up for analysis. And I’m not that stupid. Really.
4) I’m defensive. Of course I am. I’m innocent and I’d rather not die. It’s as simple as that.

Carefully watching Lalaith today...
Again, great game.
