You're my new favorite person, Mith...and the only sane one here.

[Thinlómien]

I guess we could be uninvisible now...?

[the guy who be short]

And here I was for ages thinking morm was the Ranger and mith the Seer. Due to her passionate defence... I was surprised she didn't get killed for it.

I can't believe I'm alive 'til the end.

Innocent:
Caran

Confident innocent:
Cailín
Mith
morm

Probably innocent:
lmp
Lommy

Possibly innocent:
Durelin
Lhuna

Leaving me with my wolves:
Celuien
Nogrod
Tom

I think the last five will contain two or three of our wolves.

Is there a smug smiley somewhere?


So, wolves, we look forward to explanations regarding your kills. Why Fin, in particular?

[mormegil]

I need to know from the wolves, did you ever think I was gifted?

[Mithalwen]

Actually thought I was completely useless ... other than holding to my nagging suspicion of Tom - who reminded me a bit of myself in my successful wolf outing.

Still think LMP was pllaying with fire and that it is wrong for players to use the games to settle personal scores. Especially when it results in "friendly fire" deaths. Only redeeming point was it saved Caran. Engineering the deaths of innocents without genuine suspicion is wolvish *scowls*.

Anyway..what a bizarre game. And an unexpected end. Need to read through and find out what happened... was busy at lunch!.

He played totally weirdly. Had I not known him to be innocent, I would have been lynching him yesterDay or earlier.

Noggie, I loved that last wee bit trying to save yourself. It was hilarious.

No, you helped me get SPM lynched.

Come come. It's all part of the game. Anguirel had his bit of fun in that one game in which he played "the Fool", and it was one of the most memorable.

Exactly, useless.

And I don't regard pursuing personal vendettas which may well be counterproductive to the village's survival as part of the game. In fact I was so annoyed that with the village in a more secure position following Tom's lynching I was considering pulling out. Lommy's skill rendered that decision irrelevant in the event. Memorable and acceptable are not the same....

Actually not. You were playing too suspiciously in the beginning to look like a gifted... Good gifted tactics the next time around?

That's the same way I played when I was the seer and it got me killed by the hunter but not the wolves.

I remember that. Di is efficient!

Make sure that confounded gravedigger gets the chop along with those Wolves ...

No hard feelings. This had me laughing too hard. (coughcoughcough)

[Boromir88]

Well I certainly went out faster than I expected. And honestly I'm glad I did because while skimming through the game I thought Lommy and tgwbs were at least two wolves. Since I was already suspicious of Lommy and I saw tgwbs kind of trying to nudge everybody away from that suspicion, I definitely thought those two were wolves...boy was I ever wrong.

A big congradulations to Lommy and tgwbs who played a superb game. Wow it really seemed like the village was lost there. But our Seer was able to stay alive and away from the wolves long enough to gather the information needed to win. Well done.

Also, for the record, yes my favorite animal is a coyote (avatar), and Form's is a lion. But, I don't mind the switch it works better considering I was a village victim. And Form was a wolf attack.

Fin and Tom it was great getting to see you play for the first time. If you are innocent you can be great assets to the village.

And one little thing that I found rather funny...

Unaware that his death was now inevitable Boromir continued to talk, trying to explain, to get people to listen, but to no avail.

I just found this funny because my last post I was rather calm. Because I really had no expectation of being lynched. I got hte impression some people suspected me, but in the midst of the cross-posting at the end I really had no idea that I was going to be lynched. And it did completely catch me off guard.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Thank you for the chat skwerlz, Kath m'love. I loved my death!

[The Saucepan Man]

Grrrr! I hate being lynched.

An unfortunate combination of SpM (deliberately) acting suspiciously, Caran (deliberately) acting suspiciously, Caran turning out to be the Hunter, retractable votes and me not being here at the crucial stage.

Oh, and Elempi's misguided desire for vengeance ...

Note to self 1: Never suspect Caran again solely for flip-floppiness.

Still, if it had not been me, following Caran's declaration, it would probably have been morm. And, since he and I were both non-Gifted innocents, it would have made little difference to the village.

And you were probably better off without me. Had Noggins not informed me of his Wolfishness following his departure, I would never have guessed. And, even as a silent observer, there were others that I suspected far more than the true Wolves going into the last day. I should have known something was up when Lhuna was being so sane. And a very impressive debut there, Tom.

Note to self 2: It's always the ones as feel most fair as is most foul. I should know this by now.

Well done villagers, though. I was tempted to root for the Wolves, being as how you so swiftly turned on a poor innocent such as I. But then I remembered the need to bolster my win to loss ratio following Elempi's game. It was really Lommy wot one it, so particular congratulations to you, m'dear.

Note to self 3: Try never to accuse someone of not contributing, when they are actually quietly achieving the most.

Sorry, Lommy.

Kudos also to the Wolves, who might well have got away with it had Lommy not made such great dream choices. I was surprised that you were able to pull off the innocent act so well, Noggins. I had somehow got it into my head that, because you come across as so genuine when you are innocent, you would come across less so when guilty. I was wrong. I liked the way that you avoided getting caught in my lynching, while deftly avoiding suspicion for doing so at the same time.

It's a shame I couldn't have been involved for longer, but that unfortunate combination of circumstances done for me. It was good while it lasted, though. I rather enjoyed taking a more aggressive tack, despite being wholly misguided throughout ...

And, of course, a big well done for Kath for such great modding. I was genuinely contrite when you told me off for my anagram shenanigans. Wonderful death scenes, though (although I was rather annoyed that Nilp crashed my death scene ).

Oh, and my favourite animal is not a Duck-Billed Platypus. I gave Kath a serious option and two silly ones. She went for one of the silly ones ...

What was the surpise for tgwbs, by the way?

[Nogrod]

Kudos to you villagers! Lommy saved you. We just might have made it - tgwbs was a thorn, I admit and special notification for his hunch here!

But surely the opening situation was terrible: 19 villagers and only 3 wolves with the new role of Changeling helping the villagers (she would have been helpful to the wolves only very late in the game). So we would have to had being able stay nicely covered and succeed in our kills for quite a many Days comparing to any normal ww-game (I quess the norm is 15 villagers and 3 werewolves - so at least two more Days for us to make through).

The timing of the game was really bad for me too. I could have easily played as an ordo, but wolfing was just beoynd my boundaries this time. The first two days I really had to work from the early morning to the late evening and then Lommy & her little sister came here. I had to bribe Lommy & sis to go buying ice cream to make a Night post to my fellow wolves! So no hope of actually looking and analyzing the thread during the Nights and making well thought of decisions. And really: never play ww-game with someone who lives under the same roof! It's nerve-wrecking as well as action limiting.

Whine-whine... But really: it didn't help our position at all that Lhuna was able to be online just a few hours a day - around midday my time (when I normally had no reach of the computer). So many of the kills were kind of compromises and as such, not the best ones. Tom was amazing (well he seemed to have had time on those couple of crucial days to analyze the thread). I really bow to him: greatest newbie I have seen here!

I have our PM's on my PC, so if you are interested, I could send them here. But really - as I described above - they are not any masterpieces of wolvish planning. Surely they reveal you the nasty timing we had - and my non-commitment (not something I wanted, but depending on RL).

A compromise everyone agreed. A player with perspective and being possibly dangerous. That Night we hadn't the possibility of safely killing anyone we actually believed / knew to be gifted.
