By the way, I think that it was Volo who noticed that, as far as the Wolf packs were concerned, there was a 'gentleman's team' and a 'ladies' team'. Naughty of me, I know. The hidden role choices were a combination of random selection and deliberate selection. As I said, I was unaware that Noggie and Menel had been Wolves together before, and Menel was only a Wolf because the randomiser insisted on it.
As to the great set of players that made up this game:
Mormegil - I am glad you made it, my friend. I rather forced you into the game, given that you had only expressed a tentative interest, but I wanted to get underway quickly and needed 20 players. You role was pivotal in the end, but don't be too hard on yourself. It was a tough choice. We've all been there.
Rikae - Sorry you couldn't have been around longer, but I enjoyed the forceful way that you played and, in particular, your spat with Boro.
Durelin - Really sorry about your early shower, as I was looking forward to seeing how you played this role. You were hand-picked for it (and ideally suited) after your comments about the Shade role in Volo's game.
Aganzir - I was interested to see how you would play as a Wolf, and I was not disappointed. Really, butter would not have melted in your mouth ...
Gil-Galad - A disappointment. I was really hoping that there would be no 'no shows' in this game. It clearly affected the game, but I suppose it added a different dimension.
Shastanis Althreduin - But for Boro's 'red mist' you may well have survived to the end, just as Sixth did. I loved the "Anyhoof!" and am indebted to you for giving me the opportunity to use the 'I'm a bit hoarse' gag. The old 'uns are the best.
Volo - I fully understood the strategy of going against your gut instinct, ad I have felt like doing that many a time. But, as it happens, your instincts were pretty good this game. You nearly died on Night 1, you know, courtesy of the Red Claw Mob. After a PM from Mith, I had your death written up, and then Aganzir notified Rune to me at the last moment.
Nogrod - That opening post! Really!
I thought that you were done for. But you showed what a dangerous player you can be with your great recovery and subsequent performance.
Boromir88 - What can I say? Breathtaking! An absolutely bravura performance, taking down half of the Wolves (oh, and one innocent) single-handed. Bold, gutsy stuff and great fun to watch.
Meneltarmacil - In sooth, a shame it is that you were not arounde longere, to annoye ye othere Villagers with thine language. It looks like you provided Noggie with good cover though. Must have been a shock to see that Great Bear storming into your hut ...
The Sixth Wizard - A textbook 'fly under the radar' Wolf performance. And it worked. You held your nerve well on the final Day to take the victory.
Thinlómien - I think it was you, of the Villagers, who first spotted the possibility of two Wolf packs and your instincts on the role possibilities were generally good. What happened to the 'two Wolf pack' theory on Day 5, though? Still, your attack on Boro was fun to watch. And another role that gave me some fun in writing the narratives.
Legate of Amon Lanc - You could have been a contender, but for Noggie's seeming ability to sniff out a Seer. You never really had enough to work with, and it was a shame that your clue about Rikae was somewhat redundant by the time it was picked up. Liked the white doves though. Did you notice your central role in Isabellkya's death?
Kath - Again, you never really got a chance to get into your role. I would have liked to have seen what you made of it, having been a Goose to your Duck in a previous life. Strangely, it appears to have been Durelin's vote for you on Day 1 that mainly sealed your fate, although I never fully understood the reasoning on that one.
Isabellkya - Looks like you were lynched just as you were getting into your stride. It was probably your change of pace that did for you, but I liked the way that you were getting into it.
the guy who be short - Some good ideas on the possible roles, as I recall, but you were rather cut short in your prime ... (*groan*)
xyzzy - Just as you were getting more active, the Villagers go and lynch you on Day 1, the rotten lot. Don't let it put you off, though. I like the more talkative xyzzy.
Mithalwen - Another 'what can I say?' I was shocked and stunned by your confession, but it was great fun to watch it unfold. You make a great Wolf, and I was surprised that you were suspected at all.
Feanor of the Peredhil - Controversial and confusing, but a delight, as always. It would have been nice if you could have continued to create your unique form of chaos for a bit longer. You realise that you were killed because the 'Man-Wolves' thought you a Wolf ...
Rune Son of Bjarne - Didn't get much of a chance to get going in this one, I'm afraid. Nice to see that you (and TGWBS) made Durelin blush with your votes for her though ...
Oh, and as for that grammar debacle ...

Bah! The “their” referred to the “some”, ie those who would be lynched - only a proportion of those being addressed (the "you"). Perfectly good grammar! And what’s a linguistician anyway?
Looking forward to seeing some more of the Wolfish discussions ...
