Nog and Agan, you are both crazy.

And I just thought this... one "illogical" statement is actually quite not untrue...

It is interesting we have three people sending silly lists to begin the game - and those people are also the most vocal ones thereafter... If I was a wolf with a bold team we could do something like that just to have fun with it. So Kit, Galadriel and Bom?

Probably not. But then again I'd be surprised if they all are goodies... I just don't think that general air there is free from foul.

How on Earth did you know?! Did you just guess? Or vibes? Or, well, how did you know?

(so who's psychic here?

)

ETA: Nerwen, whatever I've said about you not being scary, you are. I must give you your due for this. When reading your D2 posts I caught myself thinking, "wow, she makes so much sense, she's probably innocent!"

You don't have access to the phantom powers by any chance, do you?

ETA2:

For you, sally! :-)

Usually at the end of a game I try to critique my performance. In this case, however, a Day 1 lynching leaves precious little to critique. I was merely insanely busy.

Congrats to the baddies, and thanks for modding, Boro.

Well pastry. That was one roast beef of a milk-and-cookies game.

Also, Sally is getting a rep for "blink and you're dead" as soon as I can get it to work. There is supposed to be some indication that it worked, no?

WHEEEEE!

Congrats, wolves! I wasn't really sure who you lot were until the end-game absurdity, though I was pretty confident about Kit. Did you actually get my hints or not? I thought you did, but it might've been just paranoia.. I'm also a teensy bit disappointed that I didn't get to pick a fight with Agan - that was next on my list after picking a fight with Nog.

Anyway, good game everyone - and let's hope this farce won't repeat itself anytime soon. Really.

Oh, and Sally - you're absolutely fine.

Actually, I'm afraid there was talk of killing you. By Night Four we'd guessed you and Shasta as a possible Cobbler and Ranger, but we weren't sure which was which, and Kit was worried about G55 being protected– as indeed she was. So you were both under consideration for a while.

I know. But Boro told me to be annoying.

This was a good game and it was interesting to follow it even after I died. I was so sure Nog was a wolf all along... but from now on I just won't pay any attention to him because he drives me insane.

Congrats, wolves! Even if the game could have ended both ways, you played exceedingly well, and personally I doubt we would've got you if this village hadn't been so successful at killing the ordos.

Thanks for modding Boro, and good game everyone! It's been too long since I last played.

Well since everyone knew everybody's role days ago, maybe everyone knows the gifteds choices too?

G55's dreams:

Night 1 - Nerwen
Night 2 - Pitch
Night 3 - Shasta
Night 4 - Greenie
Night 5 - Kitanna

Shasta's protections:

Night 2 - Nerwen (believed the wolves would go after a quiet trailless kill, but a possibly troublesome villager. His reasoning was spot on, since wolves went for Kath, but...well except the fact that Nerwen was one of them)

Night 3 - Greenie, seemingly in frustration at what the wolves would do for their kill this night, winds up protecting the cobbler now. Interesting start for the Ranger.

Night 4 - The big one that basically changed the game around. Shasta reasoned out that he wouldn't want to protect sally, believing her reveal. And if he was right about G55's reasons for voting Nerwen, it would make G55 the seer and Nerwen therefor a wolf. Gave the village that one extra day to work things out.

Night 5 - out of being unable to protect G55 again, nor himself. Chose Nogrod.

sally's hunts:

Night 2 - Pitch
Night 3 - Shasta
Night 4 - G55 (First she wanted to hunt Nerwen, but second-guessed and doubted herself to the point of switching to G55. Oh sally.)
Night 5 - Kitanna

This was the strangest ending to a game I can ever remember. I was conflicted, since the pack was playing so well at staying unsuspicious, and getting lynches. Yet, not getting any gifteds at all. So in the Night 4 turning point, where Shasta caught on, it gave the village that one extra day for all the information to come out and completely flip things against the pack.

However, with the cobbler still, it would have to go perfectly for the village, to the point of getting that final vote every night. I didn't know how to end it without letting the staring contest and voting arms race to continue to play out. Or to end it without one side feeling shafted. It just played out so strangely with the mass slaying of ordos day and night.

Ah well, hope it was enjoyed by all, and the image of Lottie bolting back to a computer after a date to take that last vote and win it for the wolves, makes up for the conflictions of "how can this end in a way that's not bad and dragging!?" from the last couple days.

Oh, and Bom, sometimes if you click the scale, it doesn't open up on my computer. But if you right click and choose "open window" the reputation page should open.

I was laughing at some of the earlier cobbler discussions because my PM to Bom went something like..."I would be full of insane glee at making the town cobbler, the actual cobbler but it would be far too silly." And to Greenie "Well since you expressed so much desire to keep the cobbler around, congrats, you are now the Mayor." And without even realizing it until sally pointed it out after I sent the roles...ironically her occupation as poet and musician, is well...a bard...Bard the bard bowman
