Tol-In-Gauroth XXIV: Battle of the Band[Wagon] - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

First I had no clue, then I had no time and then... I was dead!

It's a pity I had no time on the second day to fight against my lynching and so didn't have a chance to launch a Valier-style 'lynch Boro'-campaign on Day 3. Anyway, it was most entertaining to follow the game to the end. 2 ordos and 2 gifteds over one night! A horror! Before Lommy revealed herself I was pretty sure that that was it. If the mytho still was in the game and chose a wolf, it would have been the last day, after all.

But then the formidable Lommy saved the day.

Great game by everybody! (but me)

Blasted Lommy foiled our plans...gah...well kudos to her for doing a good job and ensuring the innocent victory. I honestly began to taste victory as Eonwe and I had the village going exactly the way we wanted. Once Di was killed and I thought she was the real Seer, I knew Celuien was the Ranger, and was thinking clear sailing. As before Lommy's revelation, I tagged on with Durelin and wanted to get the village steering the way I wanted.

Nogrod, aye, you know as well as I do it's difficult as heck to be a talking wolf, as you always have to consider what you say...I wish I was like Eonwe and people didn't expect me to talk. Eonwe played quite perfectly and slipped into the background exactly as planned until the end there when everything unravelled due to Lommy.

To my other wolf buddy, Volo, sorry it didn't work out exactly as planned...I tried to do as much as possible without incriminating myself. And why we decided to go with Menel. We were worried about what you said towards Eonwe at the end, as it did look rather suspicious. So, we felt like either Nogrod or Menel would pick up on it, and it would be best to get rid of Menel since he didn't accuse either of us. Then I would come in the morning and twist around your posts the way I wanted it hoping the rest of the village would buy it.

Celuien and Rune turned out to be some thorns in my side. Celuien for coming after me there, and I thought she was the Ranger or the Hunter due to her interactions with Glirdan, so was worried about getting rid of her...as if she was the Hunter there was a time when I thought she would choose me. Then in that lucky double-lynch plus Folwren's death made everything easier.

Rune because of his late accusations of me, I just had to grit my teeth and try to convince everyone else that he had no idea what he was talking about.

Actually that double-lynch was completely unintended and by accident (sorry Glirdan). It was a very welcomed thing, but I had no plans or intentions on creating a double-lynch. I actually had that post up earlier but due to the technical difficulties of the day I couldn't post it until near end the deadline and I had to leave before seeing all that unfolded.

This was definitely a very interesting and fun game, congrats to Sleepy, I loved it.

I totally agree! Being a talkative wolf is just a hell (but pure fun!)... Sometimes I have thought of the same: how if I could play a game where no one waited that I contribute a lot? It would be fun indeed! Or in some cases of RL-rush, just what would be needed. Really: just making one or two casual short comments on each Day with enough sense and surviving to the end...

That obviously is not for me, even if I would like to try that one time (and get killed immediately by the other villagers).

Yes he did! And I can just blame myself to be too slow to jump on him as I normally would do on players who do not contribute much. I just thought that I'm repeating myself too much here to go for Eonwe and felt bad on doing it as I wanted to find different solutions from the "basic-Nogrod-game". My bad, as I said earlier.

But I will be even more staunchly against the quiet people from now on...

Yes it was a lots of fun! Sorry that you were caught so early and a good game ended so soon...

Sleepy could have been a little more up-to-date, but I for one understand the RL problems...

Eonwe · 10-08-2006, 04:36 PM

Lommy... well, what can I say. You snatched away our victory when we were just beinging to savor it. Good job, though I hate to say it!

Volo: sorry mate! But at least you joined the honorary Fenris Wolf club!

(even if it was against your will...lol)

Boro: We shall be avenged my friend! These wrongs will not go unpunished...

All in all, this was a very enlightening game. I found a few things of interest:

I didn't know that!

Hmmm, that's a bit disconserting there, Lommy. Maybe I should swear more often, or heft some large boulders, or kill some dragons. Or ... challange Nogrod to a Duel!! (just kidding, lol)

Sleepy: Great game, man! Thanks for the interesting deaths an' all!

With paper towels hopefully, or with cotton bolls...

Rune Son of Bjarne · 10-08-2006, 04:51 PM

Well I think the wolwes did a freaking great job. . . Boro yeah I was on to you, but I was never convinced.

Eonwe was good as well, I felt uneasy about him, but that was it. Never have I been so clueless about a game. . .

Now Volo died on day one, but really that is just unlucky. A bad wolf (me) is the one constantly discovered on day 2, when people actually can analyse a bit.

Btw my artist was Leonard Cohen

Folwren · 10-08-2006, 06:24 PM

Eonwe and Boro did a good job. Leastways, they fooled me. They defended me (both of them!) and I felt very strengthened by their encouragement. Not that it did me any good. I'll bet you two were laughing up your sleeves when Mac, Glirdan, and I all got killed on the same day!!

Bah.

Celuien, you had me convinced when you went fairly belistic about Glirdy being so inocent. I fairly wept when I saw your posts, but it was too late for me. I'd already voted, and I think time was up anyway. You can't imagine the torment I went through when I first realized he was innocent, then learned he was hunter, then learned that I was his victim.

It bothered me that Lommy accused me for my first post. That was disturbing and in the long run, got me killed. You did a good job, otherwise.

Great job, Sleepy. I'm liking your last post a lot!!

Good job, everyone else! It was fun, while I lasted. I enjoy being an innocent bystander, good only for defending myself so furiously.
