Ahhh. I do enjoy being among kindred spirits.

Incidentally, how was anybody ever fooled by these subpar wolves? Especially Folwren.

That's pretty unfair to say. To dream 2 wolves in 2 nights is getting slapped with the most unlucky situation possible. 1 wolf that a seer reveals is in a hard enough spot, let alone 2 of them. It's easy to say that in hindsight, but it's a whole different game if Eomer is killed before he gives out any info.

It sounds like he basically did the same thing I did when I dreamed 2 wolves in the first 2 nights. By sheer luck, I dreamed Kuru night 1 and then Fea made the comment "I love Kuru." Saw that was strange, and just like that stumble upon 2 wolves. Then the 3rd one goes the next day, it was a clean sweep. It was a tough tough pack, that made it very hard to get the 3 lynched. But it happened because I dreamed of two of them right off the start. It happens, if there is such a thing as werewolf gods, they're not cruel, because the strange quirks usually wind up balancing out over the spread of games.

And as far as Folwren. She was in even a more difficult situation having to try to cut down on the known/revealed innocents while surviving to the very end. It's got nothign to do with how they performed, they just kept getting smacked down by the hand of misfortune and trying to play the hand that was dealt to them.

I'll say. I'm fairly certain that anyone who's been a wolf a few times has experienced that: a game where your side just can't seem to catch a break. I know I have.

. . . I was joking, you know. You might note that the quote below that statement had massive amounts of text cut out from in between the two halves to make it sound like Foley was declaring her guilt.

Man, that was not enough werewolf to satisfy me. Still, it was a blast to read.

Also, I now feel justified in my self-righteousness, seeing as how the instant my back was turned you all joined forces to kill off your star power. Your minor talents felt threatened, and I don't blame anyone for that but myself for letting it happen.

Well, not entirely true. Yay Boro!!

And the narrations were wonderful to read Lottie.

Good game for everyone who survived. Foley, really well played until the end my dear

Frankly, that was one hell of a first game for me! Great job, everyone, and I'm looking forward to sharpening my WW skillz (and, hopefully, eventually, my fangs ) in future games with all of you!

I could just cry. That is SO not fair.

I must congratulate my worthy opponents.

I still don't think it was fair. And I felt I was playing so well, too.

Boromir, I don't like your explanation. I wasn't acting unhappy, I was acting business like. I don't gloat over my victims, even as a wolf.

Man. I hate losing in this game. There is indeed no other game (except RISK) that I get so upset about losing.

Good game, though. Tip of the hate to Boro and Eomer.

My fellow wolves were fun to play with, too. Nerwen and Shasta were fun as fellow wolves and very good at mentoring, as I believe this is my first game as a wolf.

Excellent game, Lottie. I enjoyed it.

Foley, you did pretty well until yesterDay, when I pegged you based solely on your post about me (especially your later reply). I suddenly knew you were the last wolf, but of course saying so would have got me killed, and....well, you know what happens to the village when I die. I simply couldn't take the risk.

I was looking forward to making a case against you toDay though. Bummer.

Either way, you baddies had some tough luck. I'm surprised the game went as long as it did (which wasn't even very long). You performed admirably, especially the Nerwen and Shasta show. Best. Thing. Ever.

You were! At least, from my perspective. I would never have thought you're the wolf!

You know, I think that the only "fair" part of WW is Day 1.

I know how you feel. Last game, I was left all by myself as a wolf by Night 4, and I knew I was dreamed, but I couldn't kill Seeromer (it was him that game too!) because he voted me every Day.

Congratulations villagers, and a massive nyah-nyah to the wolves.

Kidding: you guys performed admirably. I will echo whoever said that some games you just can't catch a break. I've been in that position as a wolf and it's not so fun!

Thanks to Loslote for a fun game. That's, I believe, three times in a row I've been the Seer, after never being one for about 5 years!

It's not that. From what Boro's said, it was close to a random choice– but he's a very experienced player, and may have picked up on some subtle unconscious reluctance on your part. Or maybe he just got lucky. Don't feel bad about it– you did play really well, especially considering the strain you must have been under.

Look, one has bad luck, sometimes. I should be more annoyed, actually– it's been more than two years since I've lost a game as a baddie!

A Freudian slip, I presume? Indeed, this game definitely belongs to the gifteds.

As I told you to begin with, what I was most afraid of was that the Seer would be one of the "old guard" (and would dream Shasta or me on Night One "just in case"). But the Hunter as well! It's fate, I tell you...
