He was?!? :eek: And I thought he was a wolf like us! :rolleyes: He had me fooled. ;)

Be Quiet...

Mormegil was the sherrif.
Meneltarmacil was the wolf.
Mithalwen was the person I almost voted for on Day 2.
M is the letter too many people have begining their names.

Thank You.

I too would have voted for Mithalwen on Day 2 ... had she been playing. :p

Having reviewed my notes, it has become clear to me that one can analyse 'til the cows come home and still be completley, utterly and hopelessly wrong. :rolleyes:

Here are some gems:

On analysing the Night 2 kills:

Quote:

Glirdan is almost certainly not the Bear (and therefore may be worth keeping around).
Kitanna had voted for Glirdan the previous Day, and I figured that the Bear would not take the risk of killing someone who voted for them when he could kill almost anyone else with little risk. I figured wrong!

On Day 2:

Quote:

If the Wolves are trying to set up Alcarillo, we need to look at:

Gil-Galad
Azaelia
WaynetheGoblin
Folwren
Glirdan
As I understand it, the Wolves were trying to set up Alcarillo. But working that out sent me in completely the wrong direction!

After learning the Night 3 kills:

Quote:

The phantom had two dreams: probably SpM and mormegil. Possibly Shelob.
This is about the only thing I got right all game ...

Quote:

I am now pretty certain that Shelob is innocent and most likely the other Shirriff.
I can't remember why I thought this now. It was something that Shelob said about mormegil or vice versa. I compounded my error by compiling the following list at the outset of Day 3:

Quote:

*Top suspects: Azaelia, Glirdan, Kath and Holbytlass.
*Level 2 suspects: Folwren, Gil-Galadand Nilpaurion.
*Don’t knows: Cailin, Durelin, WaynetheGoblin.
*Non-Wolves: Meneltarmacil, Shelob, wilwarin.
Now that's just ridiculous. But it was based on my belief (on the basis of what I thought was pretty good evidence) that Azaelia was a Wolf, and also my assumption that Shelob was the other Shirriff. At least when Nilp revealed himself, I was able to move Shelob off the bottom row. In fact, she went straight up to a Level 2 suspect.

Of course, things changed during the course of the Day and, had I not died on Night 4, I would have been looking at Holbytlass, Kath and Shelob very closely. Maybe I would have followed through with my suspicions of Shelob. But I suspect that it's more likely that I would have voted in a similar way to the other innocents on Days 4, 5 and 6.

So you see Wolves. You really didn't need to kill me at all. :D

Gil-Galad 09-15-2005 06:27 PM

one thing that got me mad is that, you accused me of being a wolf because i was quiet, so i defended myself then you accused me for that...

Well, I'd say you were completely off there Saucy!! ;) I'm quite surprised at how long it took for people to suspect me of anything on Day 1. Which just proves that I did a pretty good job avoiding suspicion for the time.

Feanor of the Peredhil 09-15-2005 06:48 PM

tp: ooooh, I understand now about Saucie. See, I knew the roles of who you dreamt about, but I didn't know the exact identities. Except for Shelob. I found it hilarious that you died just as you hit spot on. Omniscience is fun.

Glirdan 09-15-2005 08:28 PM

Poor phantom couldn't tell anyone about his dream of Shelob. And it probably could have helped the villagers or myself to win!!! Drats!!! CURSE YOU WOLVES!!!!!!!

Nilpaurion Felagund 09-15-2005 08:41 PM

From reading phantom's thoughts . . .
 
Glirdan, was it your intention to act all close with morm and then to kill him suddenly? It sounds like a very bold plan for a bear.

From the start of Day 2, I said to myself that I had to get someone completely unsuspected to cast suspicion off of myself and by unsuspected I mean no one would think that I would go after him because of the "bond" we had. I wasn't thinking of morm right from the start. About half way throught the Day, I decided to get rid of morm because he was the one I was acting close with and I thought no one would have suspected me. Obviously, it didn't quite work. I was a little over dramatic which was probably why more suspicion was cast on me.

Now I want to know why no one suspected me of being the bear, but always the wolf. Anybody care to answer?

I figured we had you confused to no end...I hadn't realized we were doing that well.

Probably because the wolves are more likely to slip up. A wolf has to try and not only protect themselves from suspicion but also to make sure that they're protecting their fellow wolves. A bear only has themselves to protect so it's somewhat easier for them, they don't have to worry about slidding suspicion of themselves and onto their friends.
