I also volunteered for the role of wizard and would have made more time if I were chosen.

I volunteered, too (very much to Diamond's surprise? ). I actually expected Nogrod to make me the EW to spite me for all my pro GW rules talk pregame.

Good game everybody.
To answer a few questions:
I thought I'd be dreamed or scried early from the time I got my role. I seem to be very visible, for some reason - and when it was revealed that Mac was a gifted, I was pretty much sure & so played under the assumption my role was known.

My original list of seven was (if I remember right):
A Little Green
Aganzir
Macalaure
Nilp
Cailin
Legate
Roa

chosen mostly because I thought they would make good wolves. I haven't played with Nilp, but I've heard of him, and being partial to suicidal schemes myself I thought we might work well together. I'm pretty sure I played with Cailin at some point in the past (or maybe just read a game?) - anyway, I had the impression she could fly under the radar. I wanted Mac on my team so I wouldn't have to keep so many secrets from him, actually.

Lalaith, I'm sorry I left you as the lone wolf - I really shouldn't have told Durelin and Celuien about each other, of course. Anyway, I think you played your role well, but unfortunately were put at a disadvantage by being scried by both wizards. Still,going through three different roles in one game - how cool is that?

LMP, I did feel like I was at a disadvantage because of the GW's two "dreams" per night (although he didn't get to use them most nights... ). It didn't occur to me that I could prevent a seer dream by scrying the seer, either, or I would have scried Di instead of killing her (I strongly suspected she was a seer). I thought there was no way for me to stop the seer dream, and the most I could do was make TP "waste" his scry.

I must really not be very noteworthy if you cannot remember. Yes, I have played with you before, several times, and once killed you as a lone wolf in Durelin's game (which, by the way, I won - though mostly thanks to Nogrod )

You also killed me once in Weres of Eire.

That crossed my mind... but in the end I decided to care for their sanity...

And I still feel like being a godfather or a marriage broker to them (within WW-games that is!) so I had to take care of my responsibilities and not to throw them up against each other...

Oh wow, a lot has happened and I have quite a bit to read, eek. Well, at least I'll have something good to read for the first of this summer. Have been looking for a good read.

Sorry I haven't been able to give rep yet, I've been out and away for some important life changes and trying to find a new job (oh yay...), but I'll start on it.

Oh pfft, you know what I meant.

No one's completely one shade of evil, only 'good' has that rather amazing ability. For example, you have phantom's evil ego type (still makes you laugh though, laughs can't be all evil though, hmm), I've been chrisened Kaa for some odd reason, Lommy is scary at times (but quite delightful at the same, sort of like going to a lovely dinner party and suddenly realizing that you've been killed), Di has her own unique style, and so on.

You've reminded me to finish mine too.

Umm, YES.

I don't know about McCaber, but the Gwath-sim looks pretty much like me, only in scruffy Portland grunge clothes. And with less-big muscles.

I don't know. The Nerwen sim came to visit several people and started immediately arguing with them and offending them.

I tried to choose you clothes that a teenage highwayman could wear.
