BWAHAHAHAHA! Hehe. ^_^

Blasted parking lot interwebs mean I can't hang out and snicker properly, but well done all!

Oh, and as a point of interest, first Night kill musings. I sent my fellows a PM that said something along the lines of "Okay, I don't know why, but I have the insane niggling that we have to kill Lommie, and we have to do it toNight." How nice it would have been to have Fea back! Also, Shasta and I had quite the conversation/polite argument over the first Night kill. I insisted that we had to kill Lottie (I TOLD YOU SO!) but we eventually agreed (since I seemed to be the only dissenter lol) to kill Boro to knock off Lottie's main supporter. Heh. Well....

I'm quite proud of my packmates. Poor Glirdan didn't get to do a whole lot, except for us screaming at each other in the thread, and poor Nog should have lasted much longer in my opinion. (Also, I second Shasta. I was almost positive Greenie dreamt him.) Legate was a brilliant addition to our lovely team, even if I didn't get to actually canoodle with him, and of course the ever-brilliant Shasta brought the win! Yay wolves! *nibbles Lottie's jugular some more*

Vanilwa Muffin, this was an insanely fun game both to read and to play in. Kudos!


(I'll try to say more later, but I've got church in the morning and I'm a few miles from home so I should get to bed.)

Ah, very wise decision, because everyone knows the key to a successful coup is not the main leading figurehead. The leader can always be replaced, you must take out their primary support first! Bravo, well played.

Shasta, you already know how I feel about this, more to come when it's not 1:30 am.

Shasta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I ask one question: what on earth was that stuff about voting Legate?!? As a wolf I would never have come and got my fellow lynched on the very last minute if I had already voted and said I wouldn't be back - if I managed to come back, I'd just stare at the screen and hope for the best. Maybe that just proves you're a better wolf than I'd ever be.

Anyway, kudos to everybody for a wonderful game! I should've died after Nog though, I could've brought Greenie back and my track record would've remained quite excellent... Speaking of which, it's quite ironic I said "if Nog isn't a wolf, I'd look at Shasta because I'm quite sure Greenie dreamt one of them and found a wolf" - I never thought they would both be wolves...

And aww to Skip for protecting me. And I would totally have got crazy if I had died on Night2. I was thinking then that if I die and bring Fea back, it's about the most epic failure I could do... And I'm glad you didn't pick Nienna that Night...

Heh, heh, heh. I asked him the same thing. He didn't expect Legate to actually be lynched, so he was just doing it for appearance, blah blah. Obviously he'd explain it better than me, but yeah. He didn't do it on purpose.

*hugs poor Legate* Wilwa told me everything upon my death except who the cursed was (because that was her little secret....hehe) so when you got turned I nearly died of shock.


Love you too, Lottie.

*snuggles Boro the Birthday Boy*


ETA: x'd with many a Shasta. Whoops. Lol and you also cursed, like a lot. A lot.

...actually I quite enjoyed being Candy the Cursed Cobbler in Sally's game. I had a lot of fun with it (especially with being a dreamed known wolf).

Uh-huh, guys, how come you have ever let that happen! Completely ignoring Shasta?

That said, congratulations to him! Splendidly done. Although I have to confess that even after my death I was still cheering more for the village to win, because I felt more like a villager than a Wolf. And I was not really very pleased with the idea of being a Cursed in the first place - I just think it unfair, not in the sense of disbalance or anything, but in the sense of being unfair towards the person. This far, I saw the Cursed only as a role possibly making things very confusing for the villagers, but after having a personal experience with it, I am never going to have a Cursed in my game. And I will likely avoid playing in ones which have that role.

It was a lovely game basically until that moment - I must say I was originally very, very frustrated, because I suddenly lost all motivation for the game. I *knew* Brinn and Agan (and Lommy and Lottie) were innocent, so the only person I could suspect with "clean conscience" was Nerwen and my previous strongest suspect, Shasta! (Not too strong, but the last remaining of the "possibly suspicious" people and with incredibly suspicious voting record. Honestly, at that point I did not believe he can make it either.) I could not really make my mind switch into the "Wolf-mode" overnight and I was really thinking of quitting at some point, but I felt the sense of duty - not just to the Wolves but also to the village, as to not make the Wolves say "well, it was unfair that the village won, as we should have had the Cursed with us, but he quit".

That said, Shasta probably did the best thing he could by attacking me. Had I been around, innocent and alive, he would be still on my list and at the least he could not slip by just completely unnoticed.

But yea, in the end, it was fun while it lasted. I even accepted the Cursed role sometime during the mid-second Day of my Wolvery. Not that it lasted long. But really, I don't understand how somebody could like getting that role.

In general, however, I must say the village did remarkably well - until certain point. And, oh woe, we should have had Greenie telling us her dreams. But I think the Gifteds did quite a good job in general to keep a low profile (myself, I have suspected skip to be a Ranger and also Lommy to be the Unicorn - which is what I told Shasta, and it turned out to be correct! - but it was rather hunches from me, no particular evidence. So at least as for killing skip, that was one part of what it's been based on). That said, Wolves, how was it with Greenie's death? Did you folks think she's the Seer and dreamed of Nog? Or was it just because of the threat to Nog? Or how was it?

And one last interesting experience, which I had thanks to the fact of being a Cursed but after my death still cheering for the village - I was reading the thread and how people try to analyse my Wolf-behavior and thinking all the time "read this! Read this! That was SO stupid move from me, SO transparent, pick on that! It's obviously fake!" Well, if nothing else, then that was an interesting - and rather unusual - experience of being the Cursed.

SHASTANIS ALTHREDUIN!!!!!
You. Are. Crazy.

I was like, "Yes Nerwen has been suspicious but she has also done things I don't think she would if she was a wolf, but then Shasta... He just can't be a wolf, it wouldn't make any sense whatsoever!" Well Shasta, I will never underestimate you again in the future...

Nerwen I'm sorry! I can imagine how annoying it is when I make cases like that against an innocent, but sometimes it has caught me wolves.

Also, sorry Brinn, although I don't think the outcome would've been much different if we had lynched Nerwen instead of you...

Now that I'm at it, I could also tell Inzil I'm sorry about going after you so relentlessly!

Anyway well played everybody and I was especially happy to have skip playing. You did really well for a newbie! Although I have a feeling you're going to be one of my constant suspects if we keep playing together...
It was nice to play with you too, winty! Let's hope you have more time next game.

And heck I should really play more... My wolf spotting record was abysmal. Well, I would have got more suspicious about Nog even if Greenie hadn't died, but not sure it would've been enough to lynch him.

So it was Shasta... Dammit, he was number one on my suspects list for some time. I knew or well thought he was just a little bit too slick to be true. Wish I'd had the confidence to make my case stronger. But well played Shasta. Was he ever in real danger of getting lynched?

Hats off to Shasta the wolf! That was just absolutely fabulous!

And my god how effective the village was before he was left alone! (well then again, we didn't play the best game possible either, to be honest)

The problem was that she was openly convnced that me and Glirdy were wolves - as we were - but her reasons were flimsy indeed. So she had to be the seer and we were screwed. But we had to take her down to save Shasta being dreamt of as well. And then I could always try to make a fight for myself (even if we made a deal Shasta should not back away from getting me lynched).

Oh the irony, she told me today she had just come up with a totally random suspicion of me to look a bit odd as to save herself from the wolves' attention making herself a possible lynch-candidate later and so not woth Night-killing)...

So funnily the case I made for Greenie not having dreamt of me the next Day was actually exactly correct - even if I didn't know it myself back then. So you villagers were lucky not to listen to the words of actual wisdom and truth about the matter...

When I realised my chances of survival were pretty thin I started to build up as believable case against Shasta to make it look like I was really trying to get him lynched (happily a few of you helped me in that making him a possible lynch-candidate). That way I hoped I could add a little more credibility to his innocence. Maybe it was not totally in vain in the end?


Yeah. A fun game indeed! Thanks everyone!

And kudos to Wilwa! You did a great job! And finally got to narrate a whole game even if it looked pretty bad after the first few Days.

Okay, so once again, I say we vote Lottie out of the tribe!!

And I must apologize to everyone for my lack of participation on my last Day, but I had previous engagements that Day that I had completely forgotten about...which is terribly upsetting for me as Nog, Shasta and I had a plan to confuse the living crap out of you all

Anyways, good game to all, and especially great game to Shasta.

And of course, lovely modding by my bestie!! Lots of love Wilwa!!

PS: LOVED my death
