Maybe but hen again my style is an unknown
Actually I had an idea of taking either you or wilwa out Hoping that Pitch would dream one of them(making two useless dreams putting more suspicion on him) Or if Lari had called your bluff as I suggested(I knew it was a bluff because there was NO reason for you to say what you said other than to keep us away from him one more night.)

I had a feeling at least one wolf would see through the bluff but I knew it would work. Well I was hoping it would fail sort of since I was desperately ready to be killed. So far I think I have the best and worst playing style. The best because I figure out who the wolves are but the worst because I use different methods that make me look suspicious and sometimes get me lynched.

Well Roa is probably the hardest to read for me... as soon as wilwa revealed I knew she was the agent but Roa for a bit was a candidate... the way she said for everyone to ignore me seemed to me like saying darn now I have to make hm the agent just to protect him. I knew you were the priest and tha you bluffed I think I was only surprised by rayon but that was more because of the fact I didn't know about the hunter role...

I was so hoping Wilwa WAS a well meaning innocent gone atray in strategy. I could have attempted to stay alive one more day...
But I figured hiding in plain sight was my best bet and play that newbie card to its fullest.(Of course next game I won't have that option)

Iä! Go Innsmouth! Well done, fellow citizens!
This was a Weird Tale, to be sure - outrageously funny at times with all the HPL references in posts and narrations, with lots of surprising turns and ending with what, two unanimous lynches in a row? Wow!
Wolves, bravely fought! SpM, while you were an obvious choice to dream, I'm not at all sure that I'd have suspected you so early otherwise - certainly not enough to vote you. Lari, you were quite safely under my radar until late on Day 3, when I decided I needed to look at you for that very reason (kudos to Nerwen and Legate of Amon Leng, by the way!). And Morsul - hey, there's nothing like new blood to spice up a WW game! Your fake reveal was a daring attempt although it fell flat, and newbishness aside, you seem to have caught the general spirit of the game quickly. When you were away on Day 3, I feared you were frustrated and had given up - glad you came back and we've got you hooked! Nice first game (same goes for Craydon!).
Agent wilwa (of course you were my last dream!) - well, yes, in so far as you were supposed to help the wolves win, you failed, and it looks like your fake reveal rather helped the village by making it rather difficult for the wolves to kill Hakon and me in time. Maybe they should have sacrificed you in order to get rid of us - that would have blown Morsul's pseudo-Agent cover, but Lari's chances wouldn't have been that bad, I think. Anyway, you caused enough confusion for a handful of cobblers, and the entertainment value was tremendous!
Personally, after the fiasco of my first job as the Seer in Boro's game, I was grateful for a chance to do it right this time. Dreaming a wolf on Night 1 was sheer luck, of course. After that, I quite enjoyed being a known innocent for a change, able to relax and concentrate on finding out the wolves without having to worry about my own neck (I shudder at the thought of Roa coming after me like she did with Nerwen on Day 3!). But I could never have been so successful without Hakon's excellent double-bluffing.

Thanks! The smiley after the word 'serious' (even spelt with one e only) wasn't all that subtle, I'm afraid. And 'Pitchfork' - well, nice; too bad we can't change our nicknames, this variant might reduce gender confusion...
Everybody else - you were all great, I really loved this game! This goes especially for ModCaber - kudos for the brilliant setting idea and lovely narrations! (Speaking of narrations... *taps fingers impatiently* - but don't feel under any pressure)
My only question now is, does this statistically count as an evil or goodie victory?

Well done, Pitch. I think you're right.
However, had I been a wolf I don't think I'd have bothered with trying to counter Hakon's reveal. I would have just killed him, either the first Night after his reveal, or the next if he had protected himself. It's too easy to get caught up in a slip, as both Morsul and Wilwa showed.

Inziladun, that was my worry. I had protected myself the night of my reveal. I hoped the wolves would go after me but they didn't. The next night I protected Pitchwife and the wolves did go after him. Most of my plan relied on the wolves being too busy with real life in order to sit down for a second and think wait a minute I can do this and no more ranger problem.

Just noticed - in my last in-game post I gave credit to Kit for spotting a wilwa-Lari connection on Day 1 (and even suspected she was killed because of that), but going back and looking for the relevant post I now find it wasn't her but Nog! His post was right above one of Kit's, and scanning them in a hurry (I had little time that Day) I must have mixed them up.
But as we now know that wilwa wasn't a wolf, that makes me wonder if and how Lari guessed she was the cobbler on Day 1.
