There already is something like that. The "Taur-in-Gaurhoth Scenarios you'd like to See" thread, started by LMP. It's near the top of the page.

You did a wonderful job, Gurthang, I'm just sorry we couldn't win the game for you after you were gone. Those wolves were just too conniving.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Could we maybe get a list of the people who volunteered to be a wizard? After so many people thought I might be the Evil Wizard, I'll make explicit here what I was implying during the game: I didn't even volunteer! The reason I didn't sign up until as late as I did was because I was genuinely awed by the complexity of the game.

[Diamond18]

I volunteered. I despise being an ordo and volunteering to be a wizard seemed like the best way to insure I wouldn't have to be one.

[Cailín]

What a wonderful game!

I cannot believe that you did not lynch Eomer. Well, I shouldn't talk maybe. As an outsider, I find it far easier to spot the wolves. But… it's just incredible… Every time he's like: I'm innocent! How could I be a wolf? I should have been dead! I'd be the worst wolf ever! Yada yada. And every time the rest of us are like: Surely he cannot be bluffing again. Surely.

But of course he is.

Cailín, on that fateful night I was turned, I had no part in your death. That's the honest truth.

Yeah. Right.

*mutters* Evil. Wicked. Tricksy.

I'd love to see some stats for this game: who was turned when and how and why. Also, Elempi, why did you pick Gurthang and Roa (who both played their part perfectly)?

I did not volunteer, by the way, as everyone who closely read the scenario thread could have known.

[Nogrod]

This must be the best game I've followed! Sadly I hadn't a chance to play it but the first two days...

Myself and Naria were the "original" wolves (with the possible addition on Loki - I'm not quite clear with this: so did he know before day1 started that he was first a wolf and then an ordo, or not?). We didn't know about each other or about Roa being the EW.

One more "revelation" concerning the first days. We have a history in these games with Roa. I have always been the innocent, she has been the evil every now and then. In our first game together (my first ever) I was a seer and Roa a wolf. I picked up on anything I just could lay my hands on and went after her with some passion. As Roa noted in the Grimoire...

(I assign Nogrod as a seer to Mordor. That was rotten luck.)

Well, now she paid me back with similar handling. Although I readily admit her being much better in it in this game.

And really, in the end of day2 I started really to believe that Roa was the EW. She was so sure about her case on me, building it on every possible loose sentence or double-meaning, twisting all my sayings to her way. No-one dares to do that if one doesn't know what one is talking about. And as we had no seer with a dream around, well, she had to be the EW. So I couldn't kind of come up with any major efforts of counter-attacking or the like. Oh the frustration!

Special admiration:
Valier's hunches are just incredible! (And Roa turning her to a wolf the next night was just brillliant - and daring - tactics, Valier might have been the seer, she seemed so comfortable with Roa's guilt)
At least Fea was also on the right track on that part of the game, and had some good points to back them.

The remaining wolf-gang was just pure excellence! Great gaming Eomer, Jenny, Kitanna and Morm!

And LMP! Just great work here! The whole idea of the wizard-game, that it got through with no major problems, and the family-idea and how it was brought into the narration! Just excellent!

Thanks everyone!

It was enjoyable, even just to read...

[Gurthang]

Hey, maybe I missed the boat here, and everyone else already knows, but I've really been wondering... who is Loki's "secret" friend?

Somebody thought it might have been me, but it's not.

And so I won't be wasting this post completely, here's some fun stuff:

+ + Roa

...because Roa is a Wizard, of course.

And Cailin had me... I don't know where, but she mentioned my name as a Wizard.

[Kath]

I thought it was morm, though that was just a guess.
