By the way, good game to everyone concerned; I had a lot of fun and am still shocked I made it till Endgame.

I have to sit out of the next one because I know too much, but I'd probably sit out a few anyway. I don't think the game made me ill but it sure didn't help out; I don't think I can handle the stress of a game on top of everything else I have to do for a while.

And I had no clue I would be so darn loud!!!

argh, I'm very happy I made it too the end on my first game back, but so sad that I was soooo wrong about you Mnemo. And phantom, ....for real, I'm always gonna get you lynched first day, just to be safe, haha, cause I have a feeling you would have succeeded in getting me to vote for Mnemo instead of you, and that would have been a disaster.

About half way through the game I was really wishing I had been evil, cause practically no one was suspecting me! It would have been wonderful....

Smugness, dear? I'm the one saying "There's no telling". You're the one saying "I knew".

If you want smugness from me, let me show you this post I made at the end of Day 2. I correctly name Nog, Kath, and Brin as the three gifteds and I name Izzy, Lari, and Rikae as WereCreatures.

This is the first game I've played in a long time that didn't make me ill. I usually lose gobs of sleep during a WW game and fall ill around Day 3 or 4.

Phantom, darling, did I leave my platter with you when I left? I can't seem to find it now...

It quite possibly could have worked on Wilwa, she was thinking of voting for you just yesterDay Mnemosyne.

But, we can speculate all we want.

We didn't suspect you Wilwa; because we were sure you were innocent from the very first Night. xD

I was quite entertained, yet quite paranoid at the same time. Being up for the lynch almost every Day, was nerve wracking to say the least.

The main reason I submitted your name for killing so quickly Brin - was that I knew getting rid of you was the only chance at a shot the next Day. I took the gamble, that you hadn't been lying about trying to turn me into the White Knight. However the general avoidance of discussing what would happen the next Day when/if you died was a bit worrying. As if it wasn't even an option. But I bet that you would be unprotected, and I also bet that the new turned one - wouldn't be able to protect you the Night of their turning. Plus, even if I killed one of the other Pawns; it could've been the turned one - or it could've been the one with the extra voting power. Either way, it was the clearest option.
Plus, the dreadful slowness of the few hours up to the end of Day - was agonizing. Ever since that first lynching/save - I was quite paranoid each Day after; so I thought that you'd all revote for me at the last second. Anywhoo, it felt better to just submit the kill - then spend the rest of the time not thinking about, and debating on it.


Fun game all around, and quite entertaining. I really was starting to have an identity crisis - I couldn't decide if I felt more pawnish or Knightish. Just being moved around on the whim of others. xD

phantom, what I meant was that if that horrid stench of my own smugness was overpowering for the brief instant that I was smug, I had no clue how you could survive being around yourself all the time!

No worries, wilwa. I'm a n00b here so who knows who/what I am or how I act or play. I figured you meant no harm.
