Congratulations to the werewolves.

It was certainly a...strange game on a number of levels.

I realise that it was churlish of me to have complained about the wolves getting the cursed villager....once I had decided to give the wolves a sporting chance, then I should really have accepted the outcome of that decision with more grace.

But I did feel bad for people like Firefoot and wilwa (and of course Eonwe ) who had been going on about lynching tar-ancalime for ages... my belief in her innocence shows me up to be as goosish as my flock.

And as for Ang: well, I think you're going to be getting lynched first night in any game you play from now on, my dear. You're a blooming liability....

Thanks to everyone for a great if often bewildering game, and well done spawn, most excellent deaths, much appreciated my own.

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
LMP's innocent I said. I want to kill tar-a tomorrow. But no...



Great game everyone, especially to tar for holding on so long.

I feel I must apologize and explain. So first, to everyone, I apologize for my mistake, but especially to the wolves. I'm glad you guys still won, I'd feel even worse if you had ended up losing. Also apologies to dancing spawn, who was kind enough to let me have the back-up mod spot.

Here's what I was thinking. I know that by the original rules, wolves win if they have an equal or greater number than the villagers. This is because they could vote to at least a tie each day and then get ahead in the night, so when they reach that point, they are assured a victory.

But with the addition of the Hunter, that changes. With who we had left, I saw a way that the villagers coulds still win. I figured that Anguirel and Lalaith would both vote for tar, as they did. And I kind of thought that the wolves would also vote together. If both Eonwe and tar voted for Lalaith, as they did, then tar and Lalaith would be lynched. By the rules, the Hunter gets to kill if they are lynched. Her only two choices were Anguirel, which would have left Eonwe for the wolf victory, and Eonwe, leaving Anguirel for the villager win(or Jester Wins! ).

So, from what I saw, the outcome was still up in the air. Normally, I wouldn't have just gone with what I thought, as it wasn't my game, but dancing spawn was already gone. So I had to make the call, and I guess I made the wrong one. So, again, I apologize.

On another note, that was a great game! Anguirel, I was beginning to wonder if you were hoping to be the Cursed and get transformed. You were acting very Cobblerish.

tar, that was some great wolvery. You had everyone convinced you were innocent.

Wayne, I'm really glad you got your win.

Btw - to explain some of my Hunter choices: on the nights I chose Wilwa and then Firefoot, I didn't actually think I would be killed and required to hunt. The only scenario whereby I would have been a potential wolf victim was if wilwa was lying, and/or firefoot her accomplice. That's the reason I picked them.
(Bear in mind that Anguirel's hunter masquerade led me to suspect he was the seer, and therefore my doubts of wilwa were much stronger than they should have been...)
Nonetheless I am seriously embarrassed that it wasn't until the last night that I actually named a real wolf to hunt...

The final jest was not the jester's, but done to him; poetic justice of a most pleasurable sort, considering.

Congrats to Wilwa on playing a stellar game; you revealed at what appears to have been the best time to give the villagers an excellent chance at winning; one werewolf and three known innocents; quite a handicap for the werewolves. Of course, how were we to know that one of the "innocents" would turn out to be more evil than the werewolves?

Excellent werewolfing, tar-ancalime; few have done it better. I'm feeling quite pleased to have spotted you on Day 2, but you should feel quite pleased to have all but quelled my suspicions same Day, if it had not been for Firefoot.

Lalaith, all is forgiven. You did your best to help the villagers.

Oh, and sorry, but after I was lynched, I was rooting for the werewolves, and positively crowed when the Eonwe, the Cursed villager, turned. Revenge from the grave! Oh, I'm not sure anybody ever bothered to actually fill those three graves I dug, by the way.....

What a game. Great fun, all around. Quite fascinating.

not at all! the fact that it came down to you and you alone is testimony enough for how well you played. (not to mention that you swung what otherwise was an unloseable game in your (well, teh wolves' ) favor.)

Good game everyone!! I swear, that was the funest game I've played and my records been broken!! I've finally been lynched, by myself!!!

Lmp, I'm sorry I suspected you forever but I thought you were the Wolf. That goes for you to Lalaith. Tar, good job making it under everyone's radar for so long. Wilwa, nice Seering. Sorry I suspected you. Spawn, awsome game. I loved and can't wait to play in another one for awhile. I might join the next game, depending on when it starts because of other reasons. Once again, great game!!!
