That being said:
Form,
Huin, and
Lottie, you totally made the game! The ghost was so fun.
Even though next time, I think it is too powerful. I haven't yet looked at what kind of hints the dead got, but I would probably take those out altogether, and leave the ghost just a messenger of the dead thread's opinions/ a visiting known innocent who gets to express their opinions. Also, I had the same thought as
Huin did: there could be a rule like that once a particular quote has been used once, it cannot be used again, because I think it would be both more challenging and more fun if the same quotes couldn't repeat over and over.

Part of me wondered if the reason you could not express it in public was because the Downs would censor all of the batexcrement and bovine feces?

Oops, this game was genuinely very swearing-inducing because it was so crazy. Also I can see I have been haunting other corners of the internet because these days the autocensorhip gives me trouble it didn't before - but I think it's just fair. Also "bat excrement" is a pretty good expression if I may say so myself.
But here I was just randomly implying that the wolves could take advantage of
Morsul's plans and conveniently without having to think it through and explain how exactly...
And I second
Legate that the dead being the tie-breaker by default made this much harder for us. In a normal game, an early misguided innocent vote such as
Morsul's for
Pitch can doom the whole village. In this game, the village could afford making that kind of mistakes while we had to think really really hard. Partly this is because we were a little time zone impaired (I did say the DL was fine but if I'd known I was going to be a wolf with
Legate who's on the same time zone, I may have protested...) but it's not just that. Basically we concluded we needed two innocents to vote for the same other innocent (in a village with only 4 innocents left, that's a tall order) or else we can't really bandwagon on anything, or it's going to look really bad for us, because it will look just like that, two wolves bandwagoning. Especially if we are the ones voting early. A 3-3 situation with the dead as the tiebreaker was something we could not have, because the dead likely had more information (they did indeed) and we would have been in deep trouble if the game continued.
Incidentally, that's why I voted for
Legate. I didn't want to bus him, but since I was unsure about our odds of winning on Day4, I figured that my voting him would be the only thing to give one of us a fighting chance if there was one more Day.
My Day4 plans were rather phantomesque and absolutely too ambitious - I was trying to convince
Boro that I was wolves with
Pitchwife (hence my somewhat more wolvish behaviour than before and also letting
Pitchwife off the hook for believing
Sally) while trying to convince
Pitchwife I was innocent and the wolves were
Legate and
Boro. I was hoping this would result in a situation where (after
Morsul's vote for
Pitch), me and
Pitch would have voted for
Legate and
Legate and
Boro (and
Soriman if he was around) would have voted for
Pitch, and it would have been game over and wolf victory. Well that was obviously too complicated to work
and I see I overdid the "making
Boro suspicious of me" part. (Or then
Pitch was just too convincingly innocent. I didn't take that into account!)
Anyway I was very afraid that
Legate and I would vote and go to sleep early and after we were gone,
Boro and
Pitch would have a nice little chat and decide we two were the wolves and we'd be done for. (Hence my opening up on Day5 about my pessimism when casting my Day4 vote, switch a few words and it was absolutely genuine.)
Also if anyone wants to know why
Boro on N5?
Morsul and
Boro were almost as good as known innocents to me; I didn't think they'd be under heavy suspicion on the last Day. I obviously had no idea
Pitch had been dreamed innocent. I thought the last day would be me vs
Pitchwife, and given the events of the previous Day, I wanted rather
Morsul and
Soriman to decide than
Morsul and
Boro (whom I had deliberatedly but perhaps short-sightedly convinced of my wolvishness). So I decided to go for
Boro - I also thought that if he was around, they could have a nice long chat with
Morsul before us Europeans would wake up and they would get to set the tone of the Day, and I didn't want that. Furthermore, I knew
Morsul would vote before I'd have a chance to even read the thread, so I thought I didn't want to give him
Boro for company who might convince him to rather vote for me than
Pitch. Also apologies to
Soriman, who albeit having expressed great sharpness for a newbie at times, I thought was going to be much more manipulatable on the last Day than
Boro.
(And also, to be honest, I was tired and I didn't have much faith in my chances of winning alone, so I thought I can at least do myself a favour and kill
Boro so I don't have to argue with him for the whole miserable last Day. Well... then I ended up arguing with him even though he was dead. Also since
Boro had been trying to get killed the whole game, I thought only fair that we'd off him before the end. By the way,
Boro, you were a recurring Nightly headache since N2 - we were like "ok so
Boro is an ordo pretending to be a gifted obviously - no, wait, but if he was an actual gifted wouldn't he pretend to be an ordo pretending to be a gifted??"
)
Anyway, you can only imagine how surprised I was to log in on Day5 and find out
Pitchwife was declared innocent via the ghost and
Morsul had already done me a huge favour (or so I perceived it) by going defensive even though no one had really suspected him for Days. I was like "well, looks like I will have a fighting chance after all..."
