Wow, this was a very short game. Good job, everybody!

I have to say I liked it that the amount of reading in this game was more moderate than it usually tends to be (without there be less substance). You can actually have a closer look at even the people who talk much without it taking half the day.

Btw, Boro, just when I was completely about to overlook it where you asked Hakon to tell you why he thought I was the ranger, Rikae looked over my shoulder and asked me whether I was going to go after you now. Then I looked at it again and "Ah, Boro is evil!"

No fair getting help from Rikae! Even though you figured it out...no fair!

Yeah! Rikae only gets to help if she actually plays! (Lari and I are still quite bitter that she didn't.)

Anyway, I must be off to work like a good college student, but I'll be back later with commentary.

Haha, it's no problem. It was only a few games back when Mac was a wolf, Rikae was the hunter, and I was an ordo...I had a hunch Rikae was either the Ranger or Hunter, but didn't say anything until she revealed. Then I told her I believed her and gave her the reasons.

So, I would expect either of them to pick up that I made an obvious mistake, one that an innocent Boro would not make, even if Mac might have first overlooked it. It was a momentary loss of not-thinking. I thought Mac was the Ranger, and when Hakon had the same hunch, I was looking to try and confirm it. It was a silly mistake and as Nerwen said, I'm surprised it wasn't unanimous.

However Mac, you and Rikae should check out my game...if you like D-list superheroes

This was a great game! For my second one it wasn't bad at all. I know there's still plenty for me to learn, and I look forward to doing so. I really enjoyed the narrations! Now when you start dreaming of WW is that a sign that you're hooked?

Look forward to the next game.

Oh, and Shasta, the title "worst cobbler ever" belongs to me. Nerwen will surely attest.

Wait. Was that Kit's game? 'Cause I might have to agree.

*hugs you both*

No, no, that means you're perfectly normal, and we don't have to lynch you for not showing adequate interest in the game. It's always annoying to have to clear out the deadwood.

*fails to mention that the only dream he had that he remembers over the last week was not explicitly related to WW and, if one were to relate it in, would suggest rather shocking and unsavoury things about his supposedly innocent self*

Formie, darling, you have NO idea how hard it is not to say what I want to. I'll settle for the following though. Heh.


Why would you want SIX?!
