*attacks Moderadacil with a pitchfork*
I've said this before, and I'll say it again...this is all YOUR fault! :p
This has to be the most mind-draining game I've ever been in, for the most part because I was unlucky enough to be the poor revised Seer. And...*sigh* Whatever. *throws hands up*
Lhuna you just have to accept that I know when your innocent.I would love to be playing with when you when I finally become a wolf, Rune.
But thanks for all that! You know, for some time I thought I would be going down in Werewolf history as the first ever Seer to be lynched...sometimes I just don't know when I'm becoming more suspicious than I intend to be.
However, I do hope in the future that people will first look and act on the evidence before they start flying off the handle on gut instinct.I'm really so sorry, dear Kuru...but really, it's for the best that you died. I'm really wondering why in the world the werewolves didn't kill you first, as I expected they would.
And that's why I chose not to dream of you, even if I knew it's utterly necessary to know which side you are on. I expected you would be killed right away, and I didn't want to waste a certain dream for someone who would probably not last the game. But think about it, if I chose to dream of you, and you were revealed to me as an innocent, and I revealed your innocence when I declared myself, and the werewolves got to you right after that...well, let's not think about it shall we?
And really, it was so hard for me building a case against you. But at that point I just thought that I would feel a lot better if you're lynched, whether you were a wolf or not. ;)
Lhuna, I'm so, so sorry.I believe I should be the one saying that.
You have no idea how much I was wishing that you were still alive after I revealed myself! You were the only innocent I could lay a charge on to look after the village in my absence, because Alcarillo was, well, not around much. I wanted to trust Cailin because for some reason I felt safe with her around, but she was not a proven innocent.
Consider it an honor, if you will, that you were among my first choices for the dream. And in my opinion, you are one of the best players I've ever played with. *curtsies*
And just to clarify what could have been the most controversial topic with regards to what I said... I trully believed (and still do) that it was a good time for Lhuna to come out... there were plenty of nights before we managed to get our second wolf and even if she hadn't came out she might have been dead anyway. It was unfortunate that one of her known innocents was our ranger... and that we lynched our apprentice the following day!!That was a good call, Farael (and Kuru and Naria). I'm so glad I listened to you, even if it didn't do much. *rolls eyes*
If you turned out to be a wolf, Farael, I would have killed myself...I had you pegged as an innocent all throughout the game! It was wonderful playing with you again.
Oh, and Form, which of us had no tail?I think that would be Aman, but I could be wrong...
I still can't believe you weren't lynched right away. And that leads me to...
Cailin! What was that suicide all about?! :p
Cailín
01-27-2006, 02:06 AM
I really had good reasons for killing me, Lhun!
I had little choice and as it seems nothing would have saved me, for Naria did not even show up. I knew the moment Farael attacked me that he was an innocent. I couldn't have voted for him and voting for Malkatoj wouldn't have saved me anymore, even though I might have convinced Naria to join me.
If then Farael was lynched and found innocent, as I knew he was, everyone would have been going for me.
And finally I knew there was a reasonable chance Naria might be hunting me anyway since she has suspected me from Day 1. I was trying to do what was in the villagers best interest - getting me out of the way, convince them of Farael's innocence and Malkatoj's guilt. I knew they would not blindly follow me anymore if I wasn't a proven innocent.
Unfortunately, Naria fled town and we lost anyway. But I still think it's the only time I made the right decision during this game.

Besides, I didn't really want to live anymore after you died. :( :p

I don't believe I ever specified who the Tailless Wolf was. My intention was to leave the last wolf up with that dubious honour- that having turned out to be Malkatoj, and I've edited my last narration with an extra line accordingly.
However, if I ever stated that Amanaduial was the tailless wolf... then I guess there will just be two conflicting versions, ala Tolkien. Which one do YOU think is canonical? ;)

I didn't want to live when Menel died, either. Probably because I knew I'm next. :D
Call me self-centered or whatever, but what did you guys think about my sudden outburst of Lhunacy? I terribly enjoyed that, not to mention it served its intended purpose. Well, I think.

What purpose - convincing us all you were mentally unstable? Cause yeah, then it did serve. :p
It actually made me believe you were innocent. And Nilp, too.

01-27-2006, 03:33 AM
Asking someone for advice just seems to take that 'alone', or for werewolves: 'alone with two', element out of the game.
It won't happen again, I should know better than to go to a chronic ordinary that always gets his behind lynched.
Again, I'm just being honest and perhaps trying to blame someone else for my miscues.

It confused me. It is the only thing you have ever done that really made me doubt your innocens, but I then decided that you were more likely to be a giftet trying to stay alive.
btw It looks like it will be a while before we can have the game in wich Lupine Lhuna is introduced, as I will not be able to play WW for 4 months.
I am so sorry about constantly wanting you dead Meneltarmacil, I was just so sure that you had to be a wolf or maybe a giftet.

01-27-2006, 07:01 AM
Oh, no.... no, no... Did I ever te.. tell you guys I'... I'm afraid of heights? I should have because thanks to you I'm sitting high on Tanquetil!! :D First of all thanks a lot =)
I've tried to rep everyone but it seems I got too generous so some of you will have to wait until tomorrow (or maybe tonight). Besides that, it was a really interesting game... I wasn't too keen on the Seer's revised role, but I think it adds to the excitement (and the stress).
I'm thinking... maybe next game we can have a single Hunter/Ranger but two aprentices? having a Hunter/Ranger will make it fun for the wolves whenever they want to kill him... :p and to compensate the lack of a gifted, another apprentice to be lynched by the ignorant crowds :p
By the way Nilp, I never defended you... it was so mind boggling when you said "listen to Farael" after I felt I was making a case against you!! I almost went into a "Nilp is definetly a wolf" rant right then but you had been odd all along so I figured I'd stay silent... and good thing I did!! I was kicking myself when I found out (as I half-expected) you were just a crazy innocent

Nope, that has already happened.
and the werewolves got to you right after that...well, let's not think about it shall we?
Why not? We lost anyway. It wouldn’t really have been too bad for the village. First of all, everybody would have known that the Cursed had been converted, it’s not like that can be kept secret. Sooner or later (and probably sooner) I would have been in the same place I ultimately ended up, only worse because my behavior toward Garin would not have been a sure defense anymore.
Call me self-centered all whatever, but what did you guys think about my sudden outburst of Lhunacy? I terribly enjoyed that, not to mention it served its intended purpose. Well, I think.
Ehhh…it actually made me think you had something to hide, and hence might be the Seer. In that respect, it was not terribly effective. Behavioral changes during the game will do that.
I wasn't too keen on the Seer's revised role,
I agree with that. I think it was an interesting experiment, but it reduced the usefulness of the Seer a lot while still leaving them terribly vulnerable.

I still haven't figured out exactly why I died. :p
My reasoning was to save Naria who had just confirmed her Huntership.... or Hunterdess.... and since you looked suspicious enough (or rather, dangerous enough to have around as a wolf) I voted you. I should have gone with my second idea of ridding ourselves of Malkatoj as she was causing confusion but I was SO VERY TERRIBLY SURE she was innocent... darned!!

Actually, after I was lynched I was convinced that Cailín was the werewolves mastermind who had done the whole thing. Ah, see, this was what made me laugh in this game: all of you assumed that 'the werewolves' would behave so much more cunningly - I mean, I found myself sitting there thinking, "now, what would the werewolves do..." In actual fact, we were just hanging on by the skin of our teeth. I can't believe we won, that's frankly unbelievable!
Well, a tailless wolf repped me, and it wasn't malka... Damn straight, Lhuna. Its how I took to signing my reps, because hey, why not ;) Although how this turned out in the end...Malka, excellently played: its incredible, suspicion around you from Day 1, yet you played to the very end - nicely done, nicely done indeed!
My apologies to all who we killed - Lhuna especially, you were on player I really didn't want to kill off, I do apologise, but hey, it had to be done! And I would have given you a much less prolonged death if only that pesky Formendacil hadn't turned up...;) Cailín, you were also quite especially fantastic to play with.
Thanks all, great game. How the heck...

I just latched on your name because you seemed hesitant to vote for me, and I 'attacked' Alca because he was the first to vote for me. Had it succeeded, and Alcarillo lynched (fat chance, but hey! I love fat chances), I would still have lynched the next DAY.
But I'm proud I got everyone on my 'Case for Innocence' right! :D

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd advise against asking 'outsiders' (outside the game) for help. (Gurthang)You'd get a heart attack if you realise what some siblings do. :p
But advice noted. And I see your point. Although it would be a tad hard to keep it all in, y'know? We do live together--and go to the same school, to boot.

Okay, I have a spare hour, so I'll try to set out the thoughts that I have concerning this game- and I'd like to thank you all very, very much for being a part of it.
Concerning the Game:
Despite accusations to the contrary, my choice of people for roles was more-or-less random. I say more-or-less because I randomly selected all the villagers for roles using the tried-and-true "out of the hat" method, but then I looked at it, and mixed up a couple of names to make what I figured would be a more entertaining game.
Sorry, Lhuna, but you really were a random pick.
I was actually quite pleased with the three Werewolves that I ended up with. Garin was a mate of Morm's, and seemed quite intelligent, and I figured he'd be a bit more experienced than the Old Guard gave him credit. Amanaduial might have been a Werewolf newbie, but posts elsewhere on this forum gave her a solid reputation for intelligence- and the game certainly proved that right. As for Malkatoj, I knew her just well enough to know that she'd been associated with a couple of Werewolf games, and was yet a fairly quiet player (compared to Morm or SPM, say...)
Now, I must confess that having been Saurondacil in my last game, and a Werewolf in both the games before that, I was slightly biased in favour of the Werewolves. But I didn't do anything to try and help them win. Honest!
The only real conscious change of the roles that I made was to make Kuruharan the Cursed. I can't honestly remember if I'd even assigned it to anyone else before I gave it to him. I really wanted to see him go from unsuspicious Villager to suspicious Werewolf... Sorry, Kuru, but your Game I reputation preceeds you.
As for my Gifteds, Lhuna was a pleasant pick for Seer, since it meant that I had the delicious opportunity to drive her nuts... Lhuna really didn't like that role, I have to say. Alcarillo performed admirably as the Ranger, with his save on... was it Night 2 or Night 3- I can't remember? Naria, as Hunter, was never really seen in action... A bit of a pity, since I wanted to write a dual death scene (Garin and Eluchíl was QUITE fun, I must say...)
Kath was an excellent Cobbler, while she lasted. Killing her was very unfortunate for the Wolves, and quite disappointing from my point of view. However, there's no predicting these games...
I was VERY disappointed in Meneltarmacil as the Apprentice. One night he's the new Ranger, the following evening he's dead!
Anyways....
GAME PLAY
I kept waffling back and forth during the game as to who I thought was going to win. On Day 1, I was very pleased with my Wolves' ability to blend in. They were doing admireably. Then, not so long later, the Cobbler was dead, Alcarillo made his nighttime save, and Garin had been lynched. I figured the village would win- and Lhuna's Day 4 (I think...) revelation seemed to bear that out...
Then Amanaduial managed to nearly pull herself back from the brink of conviction, nobody ever seemed to get around to killing Malkatoj, and the dead Innocents were always pointing fingers in the wrong direction.
Then Amanaduial died, Malkatoj was the prime lynchee, and the villagers had the advantage of numbers...
Then Naria had an emergency...
And for a whole shift at work I puzzled out what to do with two villagers and an absentee- who had given me notice and was thus not really able to be killed by an Act of Mod, but who had left the village in a real bind. Wanting a quick end, I left it up to chance... fully expecting Azaelia to post first, and claim a village victory.
(NOTE: Never get Formendacil to make you Werewolf predictions. NEVER)
And, let me take this moment to thank the Ordos for the great game... A lot of mention is made of the Gifteds, Curseds, Wolves, and Whatnots, but you guys are a LOT more fun to watch. Partly because you're zanier- like Nilp, but partly because you're so clueless... Seriously, you guys are fun.
The Modified Roles:
Overall, I'm glad that I went ahead and tried out my new Seer Role. I think it worked, although there's a kink or two that I'd like to iron out in a later game- but we get to that in a moment.
I'm very flattered by the very positive reception that met the invention of the new role of the Apprentice. To be perfectly honest, it was just a way for me to balance the numbers a little between Ordos and Evils, since I wanted to have both a Cobbler and a Cursed. Personally, I don't think that an Apprentice would work in a smaller, classical game of Seer/Hunter/Ranger/Wolf/Wolf/Wolf/eitherCursedorCobbler- but in a larger game with more roles, it works quite well.
The change of Ranger Rules that permitted the Ranger to guard the same person for two nights in a row was again a simple repercussion of my role-tinkering. By weakening the Seer (since she only had two nights to talk to the Mod), I compensated the Villager side by allowing the Ranger to protect two nights in a Row. I beleive that Alcarillo made use of this twice: to protect Gurthang, and then to protect Lhuna. Had Menel been Ranger for longer than he was, I suspect he would have done the same.
Now, getting back to the Seer- the biggest role change, in my opinion, I think that overall it worked quite well- as a change of pace, if not of actual effect. Lhuna was quite hampered by the fact that only one Wolf died before she did, so she asked a few more Ordos for their opinion that might have otherwise happened.
With some reflection regarding the modified Seer role, it occurred to me that this is the perfect sort of role to complement that of the Sherriffs. Now, as a bit of history, the Sherriffs were tried out many games ago, before I ever got into this Werewolf stuff, but were eventually found wanting because you either killed off one before finding out who his partner Innocent was, or they revealed themselves, and became immediate meat for the Wolves.
However, I think that a pair of Sherriffs would work very well in tandem with my modified Seer role. As in past times, these Sherriffs would simply be Ordinary Villagers who would happen to know each other- and would have the option of PMing each other. However, when one died, the Seer would be able to ask the dead Sherriff who their partner was, and so learn the name, conclusively, of another innocent villagers.
Someday, if the people of the 'Downs are ever so gracious as to allow me to Moderate another game, it is my intention to incorporate such changes. The Seer, in that game, would be asking different sorts of questions of different people:
To the Mod, the Seer would ask "What is so-and-so's Role?"
To the Werewolf: "Is so-and-so a Werewolf?"
To the Shirriff: "Who is your partner?"
To a Gifted/Cobbler/Ordo: "Give me as long an analysis as you like concerning so-and-so, with a final verdict on your opinion."
With the exception of the Shirriff addition, that's ROUGHLY how it was working so far....
And now, at the end...
I'm still addicted to this game! I can't believe it...
For my next Moderating assignment, I will be hosting Survivor: Second Age, as soon as Glirdan finishes Survivor: The Hobbit (which I advise you all the check out. F.A.T and R.E.A.L. F.A.T. must be stopped!)
Meanwhile, with regards to this post...
I hope you've made it this far. I'm flattered if you have. This game was an immense struggle at times, to get on every day, at the same time (confounded job!), and to post a decent narration at about that time. Seriously, those last minute votes really left things in the air. However, it was a very rewarding experience, and I'm thankful to all of you for letting me try it.
So I sign off, probably for the last time:

It has?! Can you enlighten me on that? I didn't get to read all games
In WW III Saucepan Man and myself (both of whom were innocent) led a successful campaign that lynched our Seer on DAY ONE. (Hence my hatred of DAY ONE). This caused Saucepan Man and myself to turn on each other in a violent fashion which caused a situation that, due to the indecisiveness of the other players, dragged on for about three DAYS before the Saucepan Man was finally lynched. Ooops! Unfortunately, it would have been “oops” had Saucepan Man gotten what he wanted because I was innocent too. With all the time and innocent players lost by this point, it is unsurprising that the werewolves eventually won this game. However, we did whittle them down to one after there was no more Saucepan vs. Kuruharan sparring going on to distract everybody. It was perfectly in keeping with the whole tone of that game that on the last DAY the final vote was down to two innocents at the end. That game was just one long running fiasco.

Yes, it must be pretty funny to look down on us poking each other, when the wolves are pretty much being left alone. :rolleyes:
I have to admit, though, that I am clueless as to why a lot of people were saying they 'wished Gurthang were here'. Maybe they were just 'lamenting the dead' or what not, but it felt weird. It's not that I don't like the compliments, but I really am not too good at picking out the wolves. I'm not sure why everyone seems to think I'm so good at this, when I usually go off on some completely wrong tangent.
Heck, the way I see it, we lynched the person I voted for everyday. I don't know if that means anything, but I do know I was only right one out of four.
Oh, and Nilp, I probably wouldn't have lynched you at all, if it weren't for Garin's Day 1 vote to save you. You should thank him for that. ;)

Garin, just in highschool, not in England--I'm from Massachusetts. It's fun!
That's actually pretty amazing...I'm from MA, too (though I won't say where just now, as my parents have raised me paranoid)...Does your school let you just use the computer? Mine will barely let us research without dire threats of death (or at least detnetion) should we stray from our path of academically-related sites.
Great game, all. I enjoyed getting back into Werewolf, and loved the new twists. I only wish I had more time to spare!
Well, I'm off to sleep (though it's not that late here, but I've been on the road since yesterday and really need to rest: The amount of typos I have made then fixed is strictly incredible.)

The more I thought about it though the more I couldn't come up with a way to get Farael to change his mind about Malka. Damn! Cailin, I had no intention of using you as my pick or voting for you those last couple days....thanks for saving my butt!(however suspicious at the time that was). :)
Form, it would have been a great duel death at the end! You have some talent in the narration dept. that's for sure. I really enjoyed myself! :D
Don't know if I should join another game or wait a bit..... :confused:
Thanks everyone. Good times by all!!

I'm not sure why everyone seems to think I'm so good at this, when I usually go off on some completely wrong tangent.It's not so much your ability (or lack of it, as you claim) to pick out wolves that made me wish you were still alive, but the fact that you were ever-dependable. I mean, it's not just that you were a proven innocent, but I've played with you enough to realize that you take responsibility in saving the village even if you're just an ordo and not a gifted. The last Day of Werewolf XV springs to mind...
I felt that my timezones (can someone cure me, please?) further weakened me as a Seer and a proven innocent during the Day, so I was hoping there was another proven innocent I can ask to take charge while I'm not around. You would have been perfect, but I had to go and reveal your innocence. :rolleyes:
This might go down in BD history as a terribly embarrassing moment, but I have to admit that I was VERY close to tears when I found out that Menel was the Apprentice. Apparently I took this game, and my role, very seriously.
My angry last Seer PM, Formendacil? That was sincere. :o

It was Kath the perpetual Ranger (to me, at least), who was lynched on DAY 1, by an Eomer vote. He paid for it the next DAY, in a duel with tp.
And, the tree frogs were very nice. :D Would you allow me to borrow them when I do finally get to mod?

Ah, my mistake, not even remembering my own game...
And feel free to borrow the frogs. They would much appreciate a re-emergence into society.
Yes, yes that was me. Just remember, if I'm the Ranger I die first Night! Tis easy!
Great game all those of you who lived a little longer, and what a shame about the last Day!

This was a few days ago, but I couldn't post about it and just now remembered.
You know, when Lhuna declared me innocent, I was pretty ecstatic. Being proven innocent and not having to worry about defending yourself is a huge load off of your mind. I was extrememly relieved and extremely happy to be 'free' to do whatever I wanted, no matter what anyone said about me.
Then, a thought occured to me: I had felt almost the same way back in my first game, when I was the Black Beorning, and people believed me to be innocent. Yet I would almost say that the feeling of really being innocent and being proven innocent is actually better than really being guilty and being taken for innocent.
It was actually a weird feeling, since I almost think it would be the other way around. I thought it'd be sort of a 'whew! I'm not going to die toDay'(extreme relief) versus a 'finally they believe me'(mundane feeling). But, for some unexplained reason, it was reversed. Anybody else had that feeling?

I felt relieved that I didn't have to watch my words anymore; the villagers wouldn't lynch me anymore because I'm a proven innocent, and the wolves wouldn't "randomly" kill me thinking I'm the Seer.

Anybody else had that feeling?Well, in my case, I've been resigned to the fact that I'll be dying any Night soon. I was actually getting impatient at first that the wolves haven't yet killed me (I've been telling Formendacil every Night how certain I was that I'll be dead that Night :rolleyes: ), but as the Days went on I felt the need to stay alive so strongly that I was furious when I realized that I'll be dying next.
Hmm...Formendacil, I don't recall if you already told us, but can you still remember who was guarded every Night? Of course I realize I should have asked this earlier.

Regretably, no...
All I can recall is that Alcarillo guarded you the two nights ere he died...
I was GOING to keep more notes on that sort of stuff, but such noble intentions fall by the wayside once the work of it sets in...
