Well, well, well. We won after all. And just after me posthumously switching sides to that of the suicide bomber.
I protected
Zil the first Night, then
Rikae. Zil because I guessed the wolves wouldn't kill someone who didn't vote Day 1, just in case they were modfired, and then I crossed off the people I thought were wolves (including
Wilwa and
Shasta, by the way - I don't remember who I thought the third wolf was) and ended up with
Zil and
Izzy. After a long time flip-flopping between the two, I chose to protect
Zil. The next Night, I noticed that there were three people who were not suspected at all, and I guessed that the wolves would go after one of them. Those three were
Rikae,
WWinty, and myself. I couldn't protect myself, and I figured that the wolves would prefer to attack
Rikae (or myself, for that matter) than
WWinty. Thus, I protected
Rikae - and found the Assassin. We got to pm that Night. I knew I was going to die, though. So did
Sally - she giggled at me about it a lot over IM. So did
Rikae.
When
Sally told me who the wolf was, I told her that if
Rikae died, I was going to posthumously switch sides to root for him. Lone-wolf
Shasta is simply too good, but I still wanted
Rikae to win, of course. But
Shasta died before
Rikae did, so I just rooted for everyone to die.
Amazing game,
Nerwen!
