In the last game I opened the game with a Monty Python parody making it just nonsense and then only added a few starters to others to start picking up possible things (and to see how they would pick them or not).

What followed?

Everyone was sure that I was a baddie because of that post... and I needed to do a considerable amount of work to assure them otherwise (while they naturally were right as I was a wolf indeed...).

Jesting I do like even if many others seem not to like it, but a game with only arbitrary jokes would not be a fun game - like a joke in RL isn't worth much if it doesn't point to something real.

Ah well, it was really tough for the wolves to win. The odds really were against us. Wolf victories were very much attainable when there were three of them and the gifteds didn't know each other, but with only two of them, a very small village, and communicating gifteds? I wouldn't recommend an arrangement such as this again for future games.

STAWB, thank you for being an amazing co-wolf. Too bad we didn't get to push with our plan...but I ask you, Outlaws: could it have worked?

Nogrod, haha, sorry for all that. Just doing my job.

When you first mentioned the possibility of me and tgwbs being the wolves, that was really freaky. Or was that Rikae?

Speaking of whom, congratulations for picking up the guilty vibes. I don't EVER want to be a villain again, it's so distressing! I've only played with you once before, if I remember right, and now you're such an expert at it!

You astounded my with your last kill choice, Brinn - I had no idea at all you woud go after me like that, especially with how sure you were of my innocence. That was brilliant analysis on your part. You too, Mac. I should have known that we won't win if you're paired with someone, because the only time I won as a werecreature...

Gil, too bad they didn't consider at all that we could have been the wolves.

I'm sorry I didn't see more of you in the game, Mum, or at least not as much as I wanted to. Or maybe it was better that way, or I would have gone after you.

Izzy, Shasta, xyzzy, it was a pleasure to play with you.

Finally, thanks for the wonderful game, Legate! When Nilp told me that I and tgwbs were the wolves, I immediately wondered if you chose us deliberately. That was certainly an exciting way to play Werewolf again (after ten games had passed!), even if I really hate it when I have to be a wolf. You came up with really brilliant ideas in relating the story to the game, and I commend you for that. Would that we had started early, though, or I wouldn't have been so clumsy near the end...

(Excuses.)

Those were interesting reads, Brinn and Mac. Thanks. But you should both be suspected of lycanthropy for flipflopping on me.

I really should stop making sense when I'm evil.

Well...Lhuna had gone quite suicidal in the end...

Am I? *poker face* But it was true, wasn't it? Nogrod's an excellent case in point.

About Nienor, Brinn, I personally didn't think much of her because I wasn't too aware of what her role does. Plus there already were the Captains on whom to focus. As I said in the wolf PMs, I was completely LOST so far as the gifted roles were concerned.

And your killing me came just in time- the next Day, I would have been completely unable to go online on account of a Microbiology paper. So, yes, thanks for killing me.

btw, your PMs don't seem to have any mention of Nienor. Did you guys forget about her?

Yep.
