Legate (and phantom ): I think the 'fake Day 1' was a nice idea, actually - and making it an unforeseen Special Event probably was the only way to have it work and avoid the tedium of two regular Day 1's. It sucked to miss the Night kill, of course, and while the lack of a Day 1 lynch was in a way balanced or compensated by the additional sacrifice later, we didn't get a 2 kill Night - but hey, we won nevertheless, so what. In general, I quite like the idea of Special Events - it adds a lot to the suspense of the game when you don't know what sort of mischief your Mod is going to come up with next, and the secret Birthday Dreamer role worked in the same way.
All in all, kudos for creative and sovereign modding! As for the narrations, that story rocked - especially the final revelation. If not for fear of spoiling the end, you might as well have called this "At the Mountains of Thangorodrim" - a nice literary crossover! (And I'm somewhat relieved that my initial apprehension that Father Christmas and his friend the Polar Bear would show up at some point and play a perverted role was proven unjustified...)

Now for all you poor innocents - you started off fairly well, getting rid of Mnemo and me within four Days, but then you just had a sore run of bad luck. I found it quite educational to watch, from a double outside perspective (dead, i.e. uninvolved, and wolf, i.e. knowing exactly who was innocent and who wasn't), how you went on suspecting and lynching each other for all the wrong reasons, while sporadic flares of suspicion towards the real wolves were for some reason never followed up. I mean, take for example Boro's self-sacrifice vote - didn't that literally scream "frustrated ordo despairing of his wits and the corner he's manoeuvered himself into"? I found that so totally understandable, and so totally failed to see how anybody could construe any wolvish motives behind it. But I'm of course quite aware that I can only say all this with the benefit of knowledge, and as an innocent I'd have been as clueless as any of you.
Nog's Birthday Dreamer theory was a real chestnut (do I have to say I cheered at my screen when I read it?) - but the funny thing is, it might have been true! (and by Draugluin's molars, wouldn't that have been cool for us?) And once the theory was out there, it's quite logical you had to test it some way. Best intentions and logical choices furthering the triumph of evil - there's something bordering on the tragical in all this.
For the Gifted team, sally and Shasta - you did very well staying under our wolvish radar until close to the end, and your plan about using the sacrifice/lynch was quite ingenious; did you work that out together, or was it wholly your idea, sally? And Shasta, you impressed me - I hadn't seen you so involved and active in the one or two games we'd played together before, but this time I realized that you can be a player to be feared when you put your mind to it.
Everybody else - you all did your best, but **** happens. Better luck next time!
