Well since everyone knew everybody's role days ago, maybe everyone knows the gifteds choices too?

G55's dreams:

Night 1 - Nerwen
Night 2 - Pitch
Night 3 - Shasta
Night 4 - Greenie
Night 5 - Kitanna

Shasta's protections:

Night 2 - Nerwen (believed the wolves would go after a quiet trailless kill, but a possibly troublesome villager. His reasoning was spot on, since wolves went for Kath, but...well except the fact that Nerwen was one of them)

Night 3 - Greenie, seemingly in frustration at what the wolves would do for their kill this night, winds up protecting the cobbler now. Interesting start for the Ranger.

Night 4 - The big one that basically changed the game around. Shasta reasoned out that he wouldn't want to protect sally, believing her reveal. And if he was right about G55's reasons for voting Nerwen, it would make G55 the seer and Nerwen therefor a wolf. Gave the village that one extra day to work things out.

Night 5 - out of being unable to protect G55 again, nor himself. Chose Nogrod.

sally's hunts:

Night 2 - Pitch
Night 3 - Shasta
Night 4 - G55 (First she wanted to hunt Nerwen, but second-guessed and doubted herself to the point of switching to G55. Oh sally.)
Night 5 - Kitanna

This was the strangest ending to a game I can ever remember. I was conflicted, since the pack was playing so well at staying unsuspicious, and getting lynches. Yet, not getting any gifteds at all. So in the Night 4 turning point, where Shasta caught on, it gave the village that one extra day for all the information to come out and completely flip things against the pack.

However, with the cobbler still, it would have to go perfectly for the village, to the point of getting that final vote every night. I didn't know how to end it without letting the staring contest and voting arms race to continue to play out. Or to end it without one side feeling shafted. It just played out so strangely with the mass slaying of ordos day and night.

Ah well, hope it was enjoyed by all, and the image of Lottie bolting back to a computer after a date to take that last vote and win it for the wolves, makes up for the conflictions of "how can this end in a way that's not bad and dragging!?" from the last couple days.

Oh, and Bom, sometimes if you click the scale, it doesn't open up on my computer. But if you right click and choose "open window" the reputation page should open.

I was laughing at some of the earlier cobbler discussions because my PM to Bom went something like..."I would be full of insane glee at making the town cobbler, the actual cobbler but it would be far too silly." And to Greenie "Well since you expressed so much desire to keep the cobbler around, congrats, you are now the Mayor." And without even realizing it until sally pointed it out after I sent the roles...ironically her occupation as poet and musician, is well...a bard...Bard the bard bowman
