FWIW I called Borowolf and Ordo Son of Bjarne yesterDay on nothing but gut feeling, so this is quite satisfying. And Eönwë: Sorry!

Well, I can certainly say that for myself!
I tell myself, though, that at least I might offer a bit of entertainment value, for both sides.

Probably my favorite message in Night 2's planning. I was so paranoid of Rikae that I thought they were obviously contradicting everything I posted, but weren't trying to point suspicion towards me. To stay 'hidden' as a seer and get more dreams in:

And sort of my "Night 1 strategizing"...which happened to be quite different from what I was hoping to achieve in this game. I was planning on being the 1st wolf to go down. Alas, again the dead threads allude me: Quote:

I have skimmed through a few pages of the quarantine thread, and so far this is my favourite quotation.

Such fun! So well played everyone! Nogs, what a wonderful concept and such great write-ups. Big hearts all round....really loved this game.
At the beginning of this game I said I was good at spotting innocents and hopeless at spotting wolves. How true, sadly that turned out to be. My sure-fire wolves were Legate, and then Eonwe. All wrong. My sure-fire innocents were Greenie, Lottie, Kit, Rune, Pitch. All good. So basically I wouldn't know a wolf if I fell over it and it bit me on the ankle.

Aww, Boro, rude! Leave the poor innocent child alone!
Nog, this was such an incredible game! Everything from the actual gameplay to the narrations were phenomenal. And great job, everyone else, for making this such an exciting and gripping game to play! I'm looking forward to reading through the QT for a whole new perspective on what was going on.

Since in-narration they're my daughter I feel as if I have to smooth this over, but eh I was already dead and like to think old Indor went out with a smirk.
Again, thank you Nog for hosting and narrating such an awesome game. I don't think I've ever played a game as enjoyably chaotic and welcoming at the same time.

Also......there was *zero* wolf-on-wolf in the Huin bandwagon. That many innocents really did just decide out of nowhere to quarantine a wolf!

Ah thank you Lottie for pointing this out, now I at least feel vindicated about something.

Also, I don't know where I got this, but I thought the Cuties knew who I was, and I was 100% expecting them to vote for me when G55 and Huin had majority, so that the wolves could Night kill me. I was so shocked when it was Brinn instead. Now that I've looked at the thread, I realize they didn't know, and I was worried about nothing the whole time.

Ha! I knew it! I bloody knew it! Since Day 1! Though I was considering Hunter as a possible alternative for Boro, and was nearly convinced in favour of Hunter when Sally died. But the longer Boro remained alive, the more certain I became of his furriness. I kneeeewww iiiitttt!!!
Will catch up to the discussion a bit later from my computer. For now, thank you for at least taking the Child down and for a wonderful climax! And thank you Nog for an awesome game!

Brinn and Boro, hats off to both of you for some very clever gameplay.
I must know: Brinn, was your "bearing gifts" remark deliberate? Why did you choose your dreams? Deeetails! Boro: so all that "in-character" "nightmares" " unconscious" talk & back and forth with G55 ... don't know if you've looked at the dead thread but I was dying to know if it was a hint, a bluff, a .double bluff, or pure nonsense! There was a ridiculous amount of agonizing in the dead thread about how to protect Boro while not messing up his plan, and as it happened, trusting him to protect himself was the right move e for the wrong reasons. And G55 and I agreed to vote Brinn twice for opposite reasons. Heh. What an epic game! Thank you so much Nog for a great setup and wonderful narrations!

Late to the party...
Apparently I'm a really good cobbler when I don't try to be. Some people always see all kinds of hints in random posts and I usually miss them. Now that I thought I actually did see some, I ran with it, never to return. Sincerest apologies for trying to lynch the actual seer from beyond death. Quote:

I can see you are forcing my hand. I will have to have a proper look at the QT thread. Quote:
I was increasingly desperate at this point. I viewed myself as holding the village back, I had trouble finding more than the hours around deadline for participation, so I decided on throwing the most overt seer hints I could. I knew it was unlikely to work so well as to make me a wolf pick, but I hoped, and reasoned that if nothing else perhaps I could divert some attention. The weird thing is, that after I gave up on having ambitions for my contribution, I started having much more fun with the game. I imagine it mirrors the fun of being a cobbler, I guess you could say that I was fey. I am not trying to constantly slate myself, and I am not looking for pity. However... It has occurred to me that my game hasn't developed much since I played WWJ II. And the rest of you... I am just in awe of your scheming, theories, voting analysis etc. Amazing, just amazing. I think that at sometime in the future I would like to mod that twitter inspired game, and just watch mayhem unfold. |

We at the QT got rather discpuraged by the Wall of Text posts on the GT rather fast, and wholeheartedly support your Twitter WW idea!

I have been taking Icelandic classes lately, and so I put on some of her music in the car to see if my Faroese skills had also improved as a consequence. My girlfriend turned to me and asked "do you know Eivør"? Apparently they used to hang out together at, the now closed bar. "Sirkus" in Reykjavik. That particular bar had a spinoff branch in Tórshavn which still exists, and in which i managed to get drunk with a Michelin star chef and participate a Nordic Council Eurovision party. I think I managed to tie that story up rather nicely... |

Or to quote Bowie, Nothing has changed / everything has changed, but coming back here still feels like coming home. So thanks to Nogrod for modding this game which has drawn us all back together again, but also thanks to The Barrow Wight Himself for making this space for us in the first place and maintaining it all those years so we have someplace to come back to in a time like this!

I believe the Downs' post-box (where you type the post text) remains the same size text-wise regardless of device (it seems the same on my phone and computer, and it doesn't change when I play around with window size). You may type only the text that fits into this space, quotes included. You may not exceed the limit (ie when the scroll bar appears). Also... can I play/co-mod that too? I swear I cannot stand another Wall of Text.
