Kill Farael if you want to die. I'm sure he'd enjoy killing you back.

But the way it was scheduled means that the next night isn't for—I think it's 2 RL days? What's the point? We might as well end it now.

Geesh. Then you should have come out with it earlier during the Night.

Not to mention the possibly beautiful ending narrative that could be created from such a scenario...

[mormegil]

Eomer are you the Elf or the Man?

[Gurthang]

I don't think that ending's coming for a little while.

Eomer, just what is that supposed to mean?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

You'll see very soon, Gurthang.

Elf? Man? Um....I think I'm Captain of the Rohirrim, disguised by the arts of Galadriel.

Or whatever Anguirel thought of.

[Anguirel]

And in-for one of the last times, it seemed increasingly, and late as usual-swirled the whirlwind with its usual tidings of discomfort and gloom.

"Death! Death! Death!"

Voting closed.

I believe he meant that Spawn is his fellow hero and that is why he wanted to die side by side with her. See I was correct in thinking the Heroes would be quiet tonight.

Ah! In which case I would point to:

At least I know I'm not as smart as I sometimes sound, even if everybody else doesn't know that.

(Oooo... I like that. )

[Anguirel]

The snarling and arguing of the wolves claiming to be Draugluin and Carcharoth and their supporters was abruptly cut short as a formerly mostly overlooked wolf, the quiet and subtle Lobo, made his voice heard.

"Lord Sauron would disapprove of all this discord," Boromir88 was saying.

"In Sauron's name, cease your squabbling!" mormegil seconded.

"And who are you," Lobo remarked slyly, "to interpret the word of Sauron?"

All yellow, weary, bloodthirsty eyes turned straight to the unassuming, small, soft-voiced lurker. mormegil's mouth was open to scoff, when the creature's appearance began to alter somewhat. In moments he stood before the company, a tall, terrifying apparition in dark armour, with a cloak sweeping behind him; until his form coalesced into that of a wolf larger even than Mithalwen, saliva leaking from his unholy jaws.

"For I," he explained, "am Sauron."

In a moment the Lord of Tol-in-Gaurhoth's commands had been obeyed. All resistance was quelled, all dispute uncompromisingly crushed. The feared and fallen Maia spirit condemned Wayne the Fairy Hunter and the wolf o' nine tails, dancing spawn, to lengthy torture, that they might reveal all they knew, before execution.

Wayne went first. But his torture revealed few results, only the occasional pained yelp. When at last he expired from the hideous methods the Dark Lord's minions employed, it was found that most of his tongue was missing, ripped off in some long ago fight.

"That explains the worm's silence," Sauron murmured, displeased. "Now the nine-tailed traitor."

dancing spawn was tied to the stake on which Meneltarmacil had been impaled, and flayed, very slowly, with her own severed tails. At last she gave an excruciating gasp of agony and her wolf form slid from her, her mind unable to maintain it longer. A She-Elf stood, at her enemies' mercy, lashed to the post.

But as Sauron advanced on her, preparing to rend her to shreds in his fearsome wolvish aspect, the Black Warg of Rhun, Eomer of the Rohirrim, leapt between them.

"You will abandon the Lady Spawnowen," he cried, "or you will fall by my blade!"

A bold human, unarmoured but with a broadsword carried in two hands, stood between Gorthaur and his prey, and the Dark Lord felt fear in his heart, and retreated. Ever eager to safeguard her Lord, Draugluin leapt into the sword's whirring path, and the steel blade struck her hard, sinking deep into her torso; but her vast claws forced Eomer down. The human Hero and the wolvish one died in the same breath.

"The Man was courageous, but rash," Sauron concluded. "Now, my loyal servant Carcharoth, the Elf-witch is your plaything. But do not slay her. I wish you to take her to the deepest cell in the Tower, and there to spread the Curse of the Werewolf into her spirit..."

So ended a valiant, but hopeless enterprise, the first assault on the Isle of Werewolves; the Dwarf Lord drowned; the Mannish warrior slain; and the Elf Spawnowen cursed to existence as Sauron's minion.

WOLVES OF TOL-IN-GAURHOTH WIN!

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Congratulations Anguirel. Even as I expected, you were a tremendous moderator.

I'm very glad you saw the sense in ending the game early. Lhuna, I didn't reveal myself earlier on the last night because I was still eagerly racking my brains for a way out. You can even see that where I laid out the Order of Death post where I yet claimed to be a werewolf.

Is this where someone totally humiliates me by pointing out a way I could have won?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

My fellow Heros you played a good game. . .

I must confess that I feel responsebil for us loosing this game.

On day one we were all set to kill Formendacil when I said somthing I will regret for a long long time. We could kill saucepan instead, he has used the eye of Sauron over every post exept the last one. This could be a hint (allthough we doubtet it) and if not it will still be nice to get rid of one so giftet in ww. Well the rest is history!

I did not say it like that, but you get the picture. . .

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

That's very true. We suggested Formendacil because he was being very calm and quiet, just the sort of behaviour a gifted would display. But Rune's suggestion of SpM seemed very insightful. SpM had hinted at his role before by using the post icons.

And to think we spent two nights chasing after Menel the Ordinary!

As Werewolf players become more experienced and cleverer, the set-up of this game favoured the wolves. So many gifteds, so few Heroes, and double lynchings. But the major factor in the wolves' victory was the brilliance of Formendacil. His dreams and his timing were spot-on. The perfect Seer.

I'm sorry, Lhuna, but these games never go as we plan them. Still, at least I can PM you now.

Heh, I had it all planned out, I intended to be quite vocal and do some mischief or at least insult you all in Quenya before my death, but I was so caught up with Christmas stuff that I couldn't get on Downs.

Spawn how many times now have you been a werewolf/hero role? I remember at least 3 or 4. I think you may have the record number.

Three. 2/3 of the games my team has won (though I can't claim much credit for the victory in WW14), but we were just about the unluckiest bunch of miscreants here. *sigh* In the end, it was just comical, though.

Anguirel, thanks for great modding, though your PMs were rather annoying...

I mean, seriously, that's just twisting the knife.

Eomer and Rune, special thanks to you, my fellow heroes. After all gifteds had stepped forward and with so many proven innocents, I don't see how we could have won, but it was fun, nonetheless.

This was probably the most draining game in which I've ever played and part of me is glad that it's now over. The other part can't wait 'till a new WW game begins.

[Mithalwen]

This will be quick .. but ..wow... and Ang was right about Draugluin being difficult...

I so nearly protected SpM on Day 1!!! SO ironic I went for Eomer who I though innocent at first and then suspected when his hint about being gifted failed to make sense....



SO why I was wrong about Farael (we have made peace privately btw) I still think he looked shifty!! At least I made two good calls when it really mattered... but I take this game far too seriously....

[Boromir88]

Yes, I admit I've often suspected you, even in my very first game when I was Ye Olde Knighte. I'm not sure what it is about you, but you just seem to look suspicious to me often for a variety of reasons specific to each game.

I remember that game, ahh...my first one. And I know I suspected you there at the end and actually wanted to lynch you until Sauce told me no, no, no, here's the way to win it.

The role reversal
My characterisation was a blast even though I had difficulty insulting people because I like you so much.
Playing on the edge and being suspected was great!
I survived until the game was over (that is a first for me).

Yes, I definitely enjoyed this switch for my last game in a while. Also morm, I really was wary of you until Formendacil came out, because of your insulting. Reminded me of my "insulting man from Dor Lomin" in Phantom's awesome game, though I was innocent in that, I constantly comtemplated that you are just using your insults for cover so people would think "why would a hero be so shrewd...", since that worked in my favor when I was the insulter.

[Kath]

well i guess thats good i mean i wanted revenge on the wolfs and hope that the hero would have won but hey i won.

Umm, Wayne was an innocent right? Anyone know what this post is saying?
