Alona.....I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever trusting you again.

Shasta.....you are not a girl. haha

Inzil.....I knew it! I knew some people had got to keep their roles from the first try, so I had a feeling you were a good chance at being wolf.


Wow. That was.......a surprise.

Gwath, wonderful game, thank you so much!!!!

Good job Sally!!!!!

Good job everyone, and congrats to the wolves, it was well played!

Just for reference, incase anyone is curious, I was an ord in the first try as well, but my lover was Inzil (who was a wolf then too).

Well, that was rather a hard-fought game. Not a stellar performance from me, but we still managed to pull out a win. I thought we had an excellent wolf-pack.
Izzy made a nice return after a WW hiatus. If not for Sally's dream I thought she had a good chance of avoiding serious suspicion for quite a while.

And alona was tremendous, doing extremely well at deflecting suspicion, despite a couple of slips *cough Rikae *cough* . Told you Shasta was the Ranger after what he said Day 4!

Sally was an excellent Seer, and I thought it highly likely she'd dream one of us. We managed to sniff her out the first Day, only to be thwarted by the clever Ranger. I was surprised she picked Izzy as her dream though, as I'd thought I looked much worse than she.

I knew I was taking a risk by attacking Nog, but he seemed to be the easiest lynch. He mounted a vicious defence, and pretty much had me on the ropes. Then he backed off and went for Shasta! Astonishing, but much appreciated.

I feel badly for deceiving my poor PM-Pal, Lari, and especially for killing her Night 5. Alona and I just thought she was the least likely to be guarded.
She really was very sweet and a delight to discuss things with.

That's why you had to go! If I remember correctly, my first thought on Night 2's kill was you.

Good game, Wilwa! You indeed had it nearly figured out by Day 4, but we were banking on alona looking so good she could finish things on her own if she had to.

Thanks for modding, Gwath. It really was a fun game, even without knowing a great deal of Springsteen.

Gah!!! Now will you guys let me live past Day 1?? Seriously!!

Anyways, good game Wolves, you did a splendid job of confusing everyone and came out on top.

Gwath the narrations were definitely one of a kind and were very entertaining the whole way through.

Sally, my dear lover, you did splendidly!!

Everyone else, good job and better luck next time!!

And she probably would have, if it had been down to me having to vote. I kinda suspected her the first Day or so, but then she just looked so good!

Heh, just noticed that it was Inzil and Alona who first voted for Nog. You sneaky little *&%@#.

Haha, my poor Glirdy! Maybe if you stopped coming up with terrible reasons to suspect me then you'll be able to survive longer!

Haha, yay. xD

Thanks for hosting Gwath!
Good game everyone.

Shasta being the Ranger, so funny. I had him written off as not being the Ranger. Guess he was way busier than I thought.

I think that is the first time I've ever been dreamed of. Yay!

Sadly that's nothing new...

And alona! I was so sure she was a wolf but Sally's staunch defence of her let me thought she was the ranger as it came from the authority of the Seer - and thus I talked about hubris - that Sally was making it too obvious... How wrong I was there - and how right I was from the beginning!!!

And bah! I had a situation the Day before: I had suspected Wilwa a lot and a long time but suddenly one post by Izzy rushed her into the top of my suspicions... then I had to make a choice. Happily Sally came forwards giving me the right one as I was quite insecure about which one to vote.

YesterDay then, I was facing quite the same dilemma: I suspected Inzil heavily - and had done more or less so for quite a long time, and then there were the few posts of Shasta that turned the tables... Only that time I made the wrong decision between the two.

But looking at how the game went it seemed clear I had no chance of survival as I needed to turn to sleep hours before the dl - happily we didn't lynch Shasta as he could have had a chance to save the game for one Day more...


Well played anyway wolves! You got some real help from outside but you also held your act together quite nicely. Kudos for that!

Next time I will be looking more than twice at you wilwa before I start suspecting you. It seems to be my newest "bad habit" I need to get rid of.

Sorry Lottie for letting you down... when I read afterwards the posts from the last hours of the Day you were lynched, I was thinking to myself "she's innocent, I need to start the discussions anew with her as soon as I have time", only to read further and see you lynched with three people not voying! That was a sad moment in the game.


Thanks Gwath for an enjoyable game - even if it took some practising to begin... I hadn't time to check every link you offered us but I checked many and they were nice. The mood was there even if we didn't keep it up sop much after the D1 of the first trial. But that's also our fault.

More exasperating than sad, really. I noticed that no one was bandwaggoning except sort of the two I thought were wolves (sorry about that, Lari) against me, so I knew I couldn't vote either of them 'cause then I would die, but I didn't really suspect Alona that much...and then no one else voted her anyway! I still can't believe I tied with Alonawolf and no one looked at her at all afterwards! Or at Zil. I mean, come on, guys! Follow leads! At least look at what the known innocents said.

It seemed as if all that was totally forgotten in the drama with Sally's Day 3 wolf reveal. She had Izzy, and that, plus more discussion about the lover-pairings possibly leading to the wolves, made people forget all about the previous Day. We were quite content with that situation, alona and I.

As I said... the way Sally went with alona was to me even too clear a message she was sheltering her - and trying to keep us away from her... Thus I thought alona must the the ranger and backed away from suspecting her immediately - and without a word not to arouse the wolves interest to my sudden turn... and crossing my fingers they wouldn't notice Sally's openly protective attitude.

All that for wrong reasons...

Heh, never trust a seer who does more than her duty...
