Well, I wasn't even siding with you all the time, I really hoped the ranger would thwart you the first two nights because, well, it would just have been so funny. And I didn't do much as the unofficial co-ish mod-ish, I only helped Lommy select the roles...

"Okay I have 14 pieces of paper and a pen, see!"
"Umm... Yeah... I'll just write this narration first."
"Do you have a hat somewhere?"
"Err... A hat? Maybe..."
"How long will it take you to write it?"
"Hmm... What did you say? Oh... Dunno..."
"Hmph."
...
"Okay I'm ready now, do you have the pieces of paper?"
"Yeah... Just a second..."


"Is that Darth Vader Eönwë?"
"Who's that? Inzil? Why on earth does he look like that?!" "I tried to make him look like me because you all said he does!"
"Oh, that's my dad, right?"
"Is it Shasta?" "Yeah, he's Simba."
"That's wilwa."
"What's that?" "A rainbow." "Oh. Is it Glirdy then?" (sidenote: sorry Glirdy, I was trying to decide how to draw you when Lommy let me know she was ready so I had to think of something quick. )
"What. On. Earth. Is. That???" "Sunglasses, corset, and a tan. Does it ring a bell?" "Err... Boro?"
"What's this one? A ball?" "Yeah, a special kind of ball. A small shiny ball." "I have no idea!" "Think of people's real names..." "Err?" "Stupid, it's a pearl!" (Greenie's name means pearl in Finnish)
"That's easy. Loslote."
"Is it... Ozban?" (He's a Warrior Butterfly, and he can only blame himself for talking interesting stuff when he's drunk.)
"Umm... Who's that?" "See the pinky finger?" "Ah it's skip!" (For the record, all Swedish people are gay. This is fact.)
"I'm guessing that's Galadriel which makes her Nerwen."
"Legate."
"Hahaha is that Pitchwife?" "Yes, he says 'Ei be ze Deutsch.'"

Anyway good game everybody, it was fun following it. The best thing ever was Pitch's If it means I'm a wolf, then so was Hegel, though. :-----D

Thanks for sharing the pics Agan!

Yes indeed! I was actually a bit sad to see you go after that remark... Anyone who can incorporate their fate with Hegel's philosophy should live eternally with(in) the absolute spirit!

When I play werewolf, I like to go by Feuerbach's teachings, though... It means I'm innocent even when I'm a wolf.

You're sure you have understood your Feuerbach right? Aren't you looking more like a general misunderstanding of Nietzsche?

I seem to remember my high school philosophy teacher told me Feuerbach said something like "Man ist, was man isst." Blame him if I didn't understand it correctly.

Thanks Inzil!

Indeed. Poor Friedrich, that happens to him a lot.

Some more Werewolf philosophy (admittedly simplified):
Feuerbach: The Mod is a mere projection of the players' desires for omnipotence.
Nietzsche: The Mod is dead; he died of his compassion with his players.
Nietzsche's Zarathustra: You go to wolves? Do not forget the noose!
Camus: We must imagine the lynched ordo as happy.
Heidegger: What is wolvery? Wolvery is what wolves do. What do wolves do? They feed on sheep, which are woolly. Wolves themselves, however, are furry. We therefore call the feeding of wolves on sheep woolfurry.

[Thinlómien]

Had I not repped so many people recently, I'd rep you Pitch again just for your aftergame comments! I've been laughing so much. Speaking of which, your earlier Hegel-joke as well as Ozban being witty to veteran players and Zil's comment about playing at work made me laugh a lot too. You were a fun lot to mod for. In a way modding is more fun than playing - you don't have to read the tedious and horribly long posts thoroughly if you don't want to, you just get all the jokes...

You'll be happy to know I postponed a meeting on the last Day so I could be there right at DL to reveal with the others.

I had my doubts about Zil, but Eönwë flew safely under my caribou, and Boro looked good to me all the time; as for Nog:

You noticed my little slip about Shasta on Day 1 (which deserved a face-palm). Thankfully, you were too busy trying to defend yourself the next Day to press it.

And Agan's illustrations are undeniably awesome.

Oh crap, my philosophy teacher must never see this thread or it will only feed his Hegel-fanaticism...

But as for absolute spirit Werewolf-wise, seems to me that in Boro's newly advertised game one can literally accomplish that... with the absolute Barrow-Wight

You mean I improved what nature screwed?

You should show this to him. I think we need more philosophy teachers playing werewolf.

By the way, would you wolves care to share who you considered killing each night? Because I seem to remember it gave Lommy and me some laughs... At least the first couple of nights.

edit: xed with Pitch. Hahahahahhaha. :----D ♥ I promise to rep you once I've spread enough reputation (I've been lazy of late).

Now if I have ever seen an unluckier game for the Ordos...

But really, as it has been mentioned already, the Wolves really didn't have to worry any single day! First Day: Unanimous lynch of a Seer. Second Day: Unanimous lynch of a "Seer-dreamed" innocent Third Day: Decision between two ordos. Fourth Day: Decision between two ordos, later turning into unanimous lynch. I mean, seriously... there hasn't been ever a slight threat of a Wolf being lynched...

And that said, I really did not suspect them very much either. I had similar problem with Nog like Pitch had, I knew he was acting weirdly, but sort of kept excusing him (a lesson to me: never to do it again. Lynch everybody immediately!). I suspected Inzil somewhat, but there were always better picks. I have been convinced basically all the time that Lottie must be a Wolf, otherwise it would be just impossible (well, turned out that it was impossible after all). And Eönwë just slipped under my radar continuously.

A funny remark to the skip-reveal: I didn't know the roles until then, or not all of them, so I knew skip was an ordo pulling a bluff, but then I thought (as I had been thinking in the game for some time) that wilwa was a Cobbler and she was thinking that skip is the Hunter, and therefore counter-revealing... and the real Hunter being careful and staying in the shadows still, especially after seeing this madness... so I was hopeful, even...

You are tough guys to fight against so I was quite happy to see you gone, but had I been on the other side, I'd have weeped losing you guys!

Actually, I still don't get it why people thought I was a cobbler. Or actually, I do, because it was the same thing for which I get always lynched: I get very often lynched when innocent, and mostly for being misinterpretated. And mostly the reason is something like what Pitch said about Hegel (which was a great remark ).

Well, certainly hope that this is not the last we've seen of you. It was great that you played, I must say also from my part - and maybe next time we can actually sort of remedy the unfortunate paths of this game and not go against each other for wrong reasons

Originally Posted by skip spence

Yeah, I was hoping for that actually, that there would be six wolves trying to convince the cobbler to vote with their team. It was your only chance at that point and it was slim.

Well, with the last Day, I think it would not have worked. Simply because the Wolves know about each other, but the ordos would have to guess who are the other two remaining ones. I mean, if let's say Lottie came out saying "me, Ozban and Zil are the last remaining Wolves", his claim would be soon negated by Zil. The ordos would need the knowledge for succesfully pulling even a bluff like that.

(On the other hand, next time I'm a wolf and you're not, I'll have to kill you ASAP - you obviously read me too well!)

Happens. But okay, as for the killing thing, now I know whom to target if I am a hunter...

And Agan, funny drawings! (Or most of them - but I really like Nog, Ozzy and Pitch!! and also Zil...)

Anyway, great game... it was really nice to have a basic setting after a while! I mean, if you all the time have just weird and experimental ones, and one more experimental than the other, you really start lacking good old classic Werewolf where the skill and searching for WWs is the main thing that matters...

Ah give it up, you are clearly just jealous of our beautiful language and fashionable clothes! And I'm all man, I'll have you know!

And yes, Legate and Nogrod, you are quite right, the innocents bluffing to be wolves was never likely to succeed but it was the last tiny chance of a life-line. But like Boro said, he could just vote himself and there would be no escaping that. Only real hope was the wolves accidentally killing the cobbler, but them wolves were shrewd...

Pitch and Nogrod, that ww filosophy was great!

And I've yet to tell Ozban[/B]: welcome aboard! Nice to get another Tolkien aficionado on board! With a taste for 60's rock and verse it seems... Are you a buddy of Legate then?

Agreed. Though what's up with the you? Shouldn't that be: we didn't deserve it?

No, haha, cause we lynched him, so he had no part in our epic fail.

[Pitchwife]

Speaking of CSI and 60's rock (well, 70's actually)...

We'll be fighting on the web
And forget to go to bed
And the cunning plans we thought of will go wrong
And the wolves who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
We all vote and the bandwagon rolls along

I'll tip my hat to the wolves' machinations
Take a bow for the Mod's new narration
Smile and grin at the posts all around me
Sign up for the next game and play
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

That lynch, it had to come
We knew it all along
We've all been hunted, seer-dreamed and more
But the village looks the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the players, they all played the game before

I'll tip my hat to the wolves' machinations
Take a bow for the Mod's new narration
Smile and grin at the posts all around me
Sign up for the next game and play
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move myself and PM-partner aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll smile at the screen and forget the next meal
For I know you can always trust a gifted reveal

Do ya?

There's nothing new there on the screen
No difference to be seen
And the roles are all replaced, by-the-bye
And the suspects on the left
Are now the suspects on the right
And everybody's just grown furrier overnight

I'll tip my hat to the wolves' machinations
Take a bow for the Mod's new narrations
Smile and grin at the votes piling on me
Sign up for the next game and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Meet the new Mod
Same as the old Mod

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS. - LOL for the pics! (But hey, mei Cherman äccent ain't rielly zet bäd, iz it?) And I can't at the moment rep all the people I'd like to, either, so if I happen to forget anybody, consider yourselves included!

[Nerwen]

Well, now that I have my internet connection back– belated congratulations to the evil side!

Another bloody massacre... but what do you expect from the Noldor?

I was actually positive that Greenie was one of the Wolves until you went and killed her

I think that was the common attitude among the dead. I gathered from Lommy's talk that most of the dead people she talked to had pinned the remaining ordos as wolves.

Quite the contrary, I would love to live in a totally gay country too.
(For those who don't know, this is a very common joke in Finland. In truth, we're jealous of Sweden because everything is better there.)

No, but I can never let an opportunity to poke fun at Germans pass.

[Aganzir]

Also, there's a song that's probably quite appropriate now (even if it's a bit awkward given what I just said about Greenie's name. Btw it was she who first discovered this)... Dedicated to the wolves, especially Nasty Dun.

[Inziladun]

I can't speak for Nasty Pearl, but I'm only like that before my first cup of coffee in the morning.

[Nogrod]

Finns just love Swedes... like here.
