Ai! I am going to have to give up Werewolf games.

After wilwa was lynched and found innocent, I was convinced that the Wolves were Boro and Formendacil. When arctic was lynched and found to be a Wolf, I was convinced that the remaining Wolf was Boro. When Boro died, I was convinced that it was Formendacil!!!

A grudging ( ) congratulations to all the Wolves, but particular congratulations to Alcarillo. Talk about slipping under the radar ...! You played an excellent game, sir.

And what's with the location, Formen? Morm pointed it out to me after Boro died and it looked to be an absolute giveaway.

Great game, though. Thanks to all involved. Eomer, you were an excellent adversary. I enjoyed our tussle. And you played your role excellently, Cailin - spot on with the dreams. Was it Azaelia that you dreamed of the night before you got killed? And once again, morm, humble apologies for instigating your untimely and underserved death.

And last, but most certainly not least, praise Holby with great praise! A wonderful modding job and excellent death scenes - you really know how to rack up the suspense, don't you?!!

Edit: Ah, I see that Azaelia was Cailin's third dream. Well, at least I got something right.

I can attest that the location was there before Boro's stuffing. Formen is from Canada and they had their Thanksgiving earlier this week.

Fantasic job guys. Beautiful work. And Holby gets so great praise praising for her fantastically suspenseful and fun deaths.

Well played by our wolves, especially Alcarillo.

I was pretty sure I was going to be the one to die that night, and wanted to get on to say some final thoughts, but alas didn't have enough time. I wasn't going to say this, because by saying this would probably mean the wolf wouldn't follow, but the way I figured after arctic was killed...

I figured, wolf or not, Alcarillo was going to be alive the final day.

If I died, Alcarillo was the wolf, because I would be the most likely one to vote against him. I was planning a big case eventhough I figured I was going to die.

If I lived, Formendacil or Azaelia (whichever didn't die that night was a wolf), because they may feel it easier in convincing me that Alcarillo was a wolf. If that makes any sense at all.

My apologies to mormegil, he truly did make me eat my words, and beside the villagers loss that was my only regret in the game.

Edit:

On some more blabbing...

I must say I enjoyed a good game of werewolf for the first time with Eomer, Abercrombie (you definitely fooled me), Formendacil, and Shelob (though I regret not being able to hear from her long).

And some more kudos to Alcarillo, for looking too wolfish to be a wolf, if ya catch my meaning. I love how you followed me to say arctic and Formendacil were wolves, then the next day once Formendacil went after Azaelia, you hopped along, great wolf play.

Hint: The second Monday of October is the Canadian Thanksgiving...

Oh, what a brutal, painful, totally addictive game...

I was totally taken in... My brilliant thesis against Azaelia: totally wrong! I'll admit to having a twinge of indecision when Alcarillo agreed with me so easily, but clearly I didn't act on it...

Oh, the pain!

Still, I think it a miracle I survived the Wilwa debacle. I was just crying to be a Werewolf there.

Still, that was FUN!

Great game everybody!

I'm surprised I won. My previous playing time was equal to three days across two games. Now it's quadrupled!

And imagine my delight when the two innocents had voted for each other! I almost felt like typing a you-fools-I-was-the-wolf-the-whole-time speech.

And great modding, Holby. I especially liked the epilogue.

Thanks go to my fellow werewolves. I couldn't have done it without you!

Wow I actually did vote for a Wolf(on Day 2 I believe). That was very well played Alcarillo!

I will admit that wasn't my best performance in a WW game I've ever had. Hopefully my next game will be better.

Thanks, though with such an early death I got to read almost all of the game as a wolf would (thanks to abercrombie). Which at least meant that the vast majority of this game felt normal...that one day as an innocent though, that was interesting. I kept saying to myself "Alright, now I need to convince SPM that I'm innocent without shifting suspicion to...erm...yeah...right...not a wolf..." What a useless paranoia to have picked up...

Still though, lasted longer than the last time I was innocent...that's worth something.


Good Job all, I enjoyed watching the confusion, the plot-twists (this was the first time, to my knowledge, ever that anyone refuted a player's claim to be gifted, and look where it led), and the suspense. (You do write very good deaths Holby).

Once again, Excellently Played...an exceedingly entertaining game.

So thats where it came from. Ya know what Pebbly Shebbly, those pans really hurt, and its all because of your sig.

I personnaly think that Holby's deaths were some of the best I've ever read, they were suspenseful and very original. Good job Holby!

Yeah, though it is just asking to be mis-used like that, and I'm glad Holby put it to good use. Most especially because she managed to use both the English and Spanish meanings (since I mean for it to be the Spanish word for bread)...it's like an amazingly bad pun in your death, and it's bilingual which makes it even better...


Incidently, since I'm finally in a position to request this, Could the Wolves please explain why they killed who they killed when they killed them? I've been given a brief run-down of my death but more details on all of them would be nice.

Many Thanks.

Hey I get some crazy ideas but they seem to never be correct. My opinions seemed to mirror SpM's on who the wolf was. I kept wanting to just click reply and yell can't you see that Boromir is the wolf. I thought it was interesting that day where Boromir and Formendacil came out and gave a little bit of an arguement to each other and said they were suspicious of each other then both quickly turned on another, I believe Azealia

What I need to know is from Abercrombie...Why? I was dying that day. I've rarely been so frustrated. I just couldn't get anybody to believe me. But I do thank Holby for making Boromir eat his words....it was kind of my request at the height of frustration...no hard feelings though Boro or anybody for that matter.

Well Morm, I needed to get out of the game, I had too much homework to do and, though I enjoyed playing in it, I just couldn't commit enough time or energy to it.
So I started looking for a way out...and then it just fell into my lap.

When you posted that you were the hunter, I practically died; it was so perfect. I also knew the position you were in, you already had garnered quite a bit of suspicion against you and were looking likely as a lynching candidate, until your proclamation. I then decided that the best of situations would be to get out of the game and take a gifted down with me. I felt that we could still win without me, so I took the leap, and it worked out better than I could've hoped for. Sorry you were so frustrated, I only meant to cause a bit of mayhem and confusion and add to the suspense of the game!
