Wolf answers.

In the beginning we were as lost to the roles there were in this game as everyone else. We three only knew each other. But as one of the three wolves I was pretty sure that there were other baddie(s) around for the game would have been highly unbalanced against us if we were the only baddies.

When Isabell turned out a dead wolf I was pretty sure there was a same-sized competing team of wolves around. You can guess how happy I was when people seemed to generally think that 5 would be maximum... I had no wish to disagree with that.

After Isabell's death catching the other team became the top priority to us.


About the kills of the Black Fang Gang esq..

Night1 - Durelin: we had to arouse some general bafflement and leave no tracks as Menel was suspected so heavily. Also her strange action might be a cover for a role of any sort - and anyhow she could be a real smart player when she actually would start to engage.

Night2 - Legate: of this I'd love to gloat just a little.

But I just realised that Legate is a gifted and that did it.
Legate was too uncontroversial, too eager not to make anyone feel uncomfortable with him (like he expressed some suspicions on me earlier but then came to pull back from them) and after reading his posts through I noted that he hadn't actually suspected anyone, at least of the more vocal persons - so just too safe and nice, seerish I thought to myself indeed.

Night3 - Fea: the one I'm a bit embarrassed about. After getting Legate so nicely I kind of overtrusted my instincts and actually believed she was one of the other gang's members and how wrong I was!

Night4 - Aganzir: I must admit that by the time I was more worried about the fact that no one seemed to be suspecting Aganzir and as the number of players decreased with speed she was the perfect kill for us. There sure was my earlier suspicion of her being a careful wolf as well but only as the second reason by that time. Sixth would have wanted to kill Boro off that Night but I refused it.

Secondly Boro said he won't be able to protect himself which feels to me that he can. It's not common but possible that a ranger-type fellow is allowed to defend himself. In that scenario we might hurt ourselves so let the other wolf try him out. Normally these kind of special people can't do the same thing twice in a row so he could be killed the next Night without danger.


The Sixth must tell about Night5 as I was in our summer cottage and the decision was all his.


Wonderful stuff everyone! I really enjoyed this game!!!


PS.

Good job, wolves.

What about my vote seemed wolvish enough to kill me, Boro? o.o?

Just a few special thanks to make a few extraordinary performances more visible.

Spm - Absolutely faboulous narrations! And I do agree with Legate that the game was actually quite nicely balanced. Well done indeed! Thank's for the experience!

Boro - I didn't fall into your trap the first time but you still got me in the end. This was quite epic indeed! Hats off to you! You played marvellously getting level with Ang the assassin and that's no minor feat indeed.

Aganzir - You hid masterly as a wolf, being involved and appearing very useful to the villagers and ducking all the suspicions. Absolutely great play!

Mith - I just haven't seen a performance like that ever in my ww-life! You were absolutely great and at one moment I actually feared you got me nailed with that Menel-vote stuff. And to read your posting after the confession was the best entertainment. Luv'ya!

Volo - You are getting better all the time! You had such a good instincts all the time as I think you pinned us down on Day2 or something already. Happily you were not sure enough...

Morm - Thanks!
But yes you played well after you got your engine running and that last vote was just a mistake that would happen to anyone so don't take it too hard on yourself.

Lommy - So fun to play with you as you seem to have inherited some of my quick twists and turns in your way of thinking... although I'm not sure if they are the best characteristics in ww-games. But had you been one of the competing team I would have never been able to tell it...

Rikae & tgwbs - It's always good to have you around and thanks for the clear statement of werewolfing principles! I agree wholeheartedly with you. It's sad you were killed so early by our rivals.


Mates:

Menel - Even though your game was a short one again it contributed to our victory quite a lot! At one moment in the end of Day1 I wasn't sure I believed my eyes as it looked like I was the one to kill you as my wolfmate on Day1 yet again!!!

Sixht - Last but not the least. I would have been running after you like a madman if I had been innocent as I'm not too fond of the playing style you represent. But you did just wonderful job with that!!! And in this game I had nothing against it. On the contrary! Superb performance and when left alone in the end you proved wicked and crafty! Hats off to you as well!

And everyone else was great as well! Now I just need to leave the PC for a while.

Wow, I'd mentioned the possibility of two teams of wolves to my comrades, but I was surprised to see it actually happening.

And I'm kind of a Fenris Wolf again, as usual.

EDIT: This is my 1800th post!
