Tol-in-Guarhoth CIX - Ten Year Anniversary Game: Dead Thread

[Thinlómien]

Why am I not surprised about all the sport talk early on? Also very amused about the phantom flirting with the ladies and Nog trying to steal the thunder by confessing his love to the phantom.

The Dead Europeans meme is killing me. Hats off to Kath for being the last European standing, btw.

I can't say how happy I am that the living seemed to have figured out what Nerwen was doing before the dead did. Take that, you smug corpses!

Also I understand why Agan keeps saying Legate made her laugh way too much. Napoleon, Julius Caesar etc? Crazy.

I'm kind of disappointed the dead thread is actually like 85% serious talk. Most of the craziness was in the last couple of Days and Nights. You guys totally mislead me.

PS. It's too funny to think of Legate as Han Solo and Mac as C3PO. (I'm pretty sure there is a - somewhere in that droid's name but I can't fathom where. C-3PO??)

PPS. Dear kawaii Nilp, I learnt that word all by myself, ages ago. And I'm baffled that you consider it weird that I know it. Isn't it a fairly normal word? Anyway, very descriptive of you.

I can speak briefly on who we killed and why.

We debated for a long time on the first night trying to get some idea of a potential seer. We knew early on with two dreams this would be our biggest threat, we had no idea or Boro-Wolf Hunter at the moment. We also didn't want to target wolves too much at night knowing it would help if we had somebody to look to lynch during the days. We decided to kill phantom, not because he looked over seerish but because we didn't see anybody that did and he was trying to organize the village. On a personal note it was nice to thin the thread a little too

Night 2 we went for Rikae. We felt it would implicate others and we thought she seemed a bit off with the comment of somebody suspect me. It was a thought that she could be the seer, but again Nerwen was hiding so well we didn't see her.

Night 3 we went for Nerwen, assuming there would be ranger protection but not daring take the risk.

Night 4 we finished the job and yes I claim that our pack got the kill . Form, I believe, also decided to go for Nerwen.

Overall it was challenging being a wolf in this game because you knew that you didn't want to kill one lover without the other known but the fear of ranger protection on one of the lovers was challenging too. We didn't really want to kill the ranger too early because super ranger would come back. With two dreams the seer was a deadly threat and she lived up to the potential *glares at Nerwen* then add on a crazed wolf killing dragon to boot. It made it very difficult.

Well done all, it was very enjoyable to play again.

Great game everyone. Many excellent performances. Particular congratulations to Kuru for modding with such flair.

My thought on the Lovers from a wolf perspective was that if I was a wolf I would eventually need to kill one Lover for the express purpose of them coming back to try and confirm whether any of the other pack had been killed yet or not.

As our numbers thinned and Nerwen revealed that Mac and Lottie were wolves it became less imperative. Also we didn't want the ordos to know how many innocents there were it kept them guessing. Less information was better.

True.

I will get a final (maybe) commentary post up this evening.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Can't add much more to what has been already said by everyone and what I am sure we all feel - what a game! What a comeback of WW! What a play from everyone!

Maybe I would like to point out the fact that it was great to play in such numbers and in a game that allowed people to stay around after death, because this way every single one of us had the chance to make ourselves memorable part of the game in one way or another. As in, in a normal game, if you are for example lynched in the very beginning, your participation can easily pass without notice (unless your lynch involved a particular fuss). But here everyone had their moment in the sun... or in the dark.

So many thanks to our esteemed Mod for the idea(s) and for making it work, cheers especially to the Seer and to the Itchy-Killer for splendid play, similarly to Lovers for making it through (all with the coming back from the dead stuff), high praise to Wolves because they also did a great job, to all my fellow Dead for both hilarious and deeply grimly serious times on the Dead thread, and to all other innocents contributing in one way or another.

May this be a game long remembered.

I think the dead thread was a nice touch too. You always felt somewhat cheated when you were killed early on.

[Lalaith]

because I took a gamble with killing Lalaith (had no confirmation she was a wolf, I just thought she looked like she knew too much information about wolves and I was all-in believing Nerwen was the seer

You were terrifying, Boro!
Actually none of the stuff I posted was wolf-knowledge, it was all guesswork. I was careful to play as an ordo (which in terms of trying to identify other wolves, I actually was. I was just as keen to identify rival wolves as any ordo would be!)
The only thing I actually knew was about Cabbie and Morm and I just studiously avoided talking about them at all.
But what really hurt, even more than my untimely death at the hands of Chrysophylax, was Firefoot saying I was the type "to follow orders". That comment would cause a ROFL or two among my friends and family, I can tell you...

It was a gloriously baffling game. Thank you Kuru, and thank you my dearest partners in Fanginess....

[Lalaith]

Oh and I think it was me who suggested killing Rikae. I am really, really scared of her WW capabilities, you see...I haven't forgotten Duelling Wizards 2, when I lost the game by making the mistake of letting her live...

[McCaber]

And I killed Lommy when I was alone, because she was both confirmed innocent and unlikely to be protected.

[Aganzir]

So I started playing The Wolf Among Us today, and when two particular fairytale characters appeared, I had to pause to collect myself from the floor. It was freaking Tweedledum and Tweedledee!

I guess I need to get to know you better? Sorry, no offense meant. If you want a compliment to go with it, I never saw you as a wolf, so great job acting ordinary.

[Lalaith]

Sorry, no offense meant.

Oh, none taken, fear not.
