Don't be so fast dealing out the roles you know nothing about Susie!

I was indeed the Super Scientist and Legate was my bodyguard. We just thought it best to come into the open with roles turned around just in case we'd need to fight someone the next Night. If the henchman would believe our roles the wrong way we could have used it to our advantage.

Happily Xyzzy-villain was killed and we needn't the trick.

So my first experiment was on Lommy who turned out henchman. Just think how I laughed myself when I accused her from trying to think like the wolves do...

I also tried to look like a seer on Day2 because Legate had defended himself on the first Night of the game and so could have protected me the next one. Sadly it was Mac who died. For Mac was the target of my second experiment.

We discussed it at length whether to choose Mac or Brinn as my target on N3 as we suspected both of them and finally decided - the villain factor being around as well at that time - that we win more and lose less with Mac not being a baddie than with Brinn.

We also discussed that we could use our retractables to get some information from the remaining people and Legate would go first to "reveal" himself as the scientist... Nicely done Legate! As the Day went further I finally realised that I just had to finish it off.

Hurrah KGB, hurrah CIA!

And you can imagine the amount of text Legate and I produced via PM's in just the two Nights! It's something like 20 pages of discussion and speculation... And some people say we write lengthy posts in the thread!

But it was a lots of fun indeed! Thanks Legate once again!

And thanks to all you others as well!

It was sad to see Mac die so early - as well as Lommy. You both really made some efforts to engage in the game.

Same goes to Volo in the end. You really made an effort and I do appreciate it - even if your logic is sometimes hard to follow from the first reading and only clarifies after you have posted ten times after that...

Brinn was also nicely between the line of active and concealed - actually contributing a lot for us to chew. Great!

From others I'd hope a bit more active stance to the gaming. Just guessing from oneliners or none at all is frustrating and not exactly playing a game.

And thanks to Gil for an entertaining concept of play. The in-character stuff was pretty fun in this one - and challenging to me at least as I'm myself anything else but a McCarthian conservative...
