That was so much fun to read! Can I request to be part of the next game? I've played a similar game on every band trip ever, we call it Mafia, with cards. I love it. So...yeah, *whine* I wanna play!

Beat it, kid. Whiners aren't allowed to play this game.

"Mafia"- yeah, fun game.

"with cards"- huh?

Explain the "with cards" part (if it's a long explanation, pm it).

I haven't decided if I want to play yet...I may just want to sit back and bask and gloat

No- please don't. If I'm a wolf next time I want you in the game so I can maul you.

mormegil · 05-19-2005, 11:01 PM

Kuruharan, you killed me at the right time. Had I lasted next round you were my target. I decided to dream about Feanor because I believe Phantom to be innocent and I knew Bilbo was (I dreamt of him the second night because he looked suspicious and I knew that Feanor could easily be hung at anytime). So if Feanor was innocent I was suspecting you. You were playing it too good, just as I would want to play as the wolf. Voting but not being incriminating of any wolf, showing that you knew strategy well in some of your posts. I was hoping they would catch you but well played.

mormegil · 05-19-2005, 11:04 PM

First off I don't envy the seer. It's difficult to be useful and keep yourself alive. Secondly I don't think I will be able to play

I am making a trip to Miami to check it out before I move there. I am leaving on the 25th so I think I'll try and catch the 3rd.

I enjoyed reading this thread very much and I'd like to participate the next massacre! I must admit that I was totally clueless about who's a werewolf and who's not. So well played!

No doubt. After this I seriously doubt that I'll ever last very long at all. The villagers will always hang me on general suspicion and the werewolves will always eat me. Oh well.

I am afraid that I'm going to have to deny you the privilege of mauling me for at least one game. I'm going on a little road trip starting today and I won't be back for a couple of days. I imagine the next game will have started by then. Better that I don't try to take somebody else's spot. I'll play again time after next.

I knew I did. That was the only time I was thinking reactively. (I probably shouldn't have said that, it's a trade secret.)

This thread was scarily addictive; I found myself coming back every few hours so I could keep up with the debate. I even ended up dreaming about it (not pleasant).

I would very much like to play in the next game, but like others I will have to show constraint, at least until half term in a week (when there will be a gap in my otherwise constant exams... sigh.)

I have to congratulate Anguirel and Kuru especially, Ang for making me suspect Feanor so much and Kuru for arousing no suspicion whatsoever. Then again, maybe I'm just rubbish at the game.

Holbytlass · 05-20-2005, 07:36 AM

Shelob, I know you think that you didn't do anything, but congratulations are still in order. Unless I am mistaken, you hold the position of being the first one killed (on purpose) by fellow downers!! And a fantastic feat it was since we are already dead!

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-20-2005, 07:49 AM

Well done everyone. You were exceedingly entertaining; I was also addicted to the game, despite not playing it.

Fea, if I was a betting man I would have lost a lot of money betting on you being the hairy fiend.

Congratulations Kuru.

I would greatly appreciate the chance to play in the next game. And I second the suggestion of opening a new thread for it.

Ainaserkewen · 05-19-2005, 11:04 PM

Well phantom, we all sit around a circle, 20, 30 of us, and everyone gets passed a playing card. If you have a red card, you're a villager, if you get a black card, you're Mafia, if you get a face card, depending on your Narrator, you are a Doctor or a Sheriff (Seer). You play in the dark and it usually goes on for about half an hour. It's quite a noble Music nerd sport.

Oh, and don't worry, I was just kidding about the whining thing...I just was reaching out for some attention.

Ha! I was so right about that. I tried to tell them you didn't dream about Fea, and the reasoning I gave was exactly what you said- because you knew Fea could easily be hung at any time.

If you want to read more of my thoughts about the game we just played, read my latest (May 20th) entry on my Random Thoughts page.

Anguirel · 05-20-2005, 12:14 AM

I think next game I hope to be a heroic villager. Or a Seer! Whatever my would-be predecessor says about the job's disadvantages...

Well, though I bought it so quickly, I think lashing myself closely to Fea paid off eventually...well done Kuru!

I'm not sure I entirely agree with your sig there Estel.

Misleading is the key, not necessarily lying per se...

Well, that's true; but 'becoming a misleader' didn't sound as good as 'becoming a liar'.

Yes Phantom you were spot on in your guess and I was impressed. I just wish that I didn't have to stick my neck out so much. Well played everybody. I really don't think Firefoot has received enough applause on the way she played. Had I not dreamt of her the first night I wouldn't have known or suspected her as the wolf for a long time...and that dream saved Feanor from dying at that time too.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-20-2005, 11:15 AM

I am most disappointed that the Villagers so successfully managed to snatch defeat from the Red Maw of victory, particularly after such a good start. Bit of a blow for those Villagers who chose to risk sacrificing themselves early to gain that good start (*coughmormegil, phantom and yours trulycough*). Clearly, the Werewolves chose the order of their victims well.

I must say, though, that the vote for bilbo_baggins was, well, just odd!

As previously indicated, I will be moderating the next Werewolf game. I will start a new thread, but we might as well use this one to sort out the details, rather than cluttering that one up.

I will post the rule changes here when I have a bit more time. Meanwhile, please post here if you would like to participate in the next game. The names I have at present are:

Anguirel
Feanor of the Peredhil
Holbytlas
Eomer of the Rohirrim
Firefoot
Barrow-Wight
the phantom
Fordim Hedgethistle
Encaitare
The Only Real Estel
Ainaserkewen
dancing spawn of ungoliant
Oddwen

Please let me know if I have missed anyone. I have assumed that everyone who participated in the last game will play in the next one unless that have specifically stated otherwise. If you are on the list, but will not be playing in the next game, then please speak up.

We currently have enough to start the next game, but there is still room for more, so post here if you would like to sign up.

I hope to get the new rules up sometime this evening.

The Only Real Estel · 05-20-2005, 12:22 PM

Well I am sorry but it looks like it would be in the best interest of the downers that are waiting to play the game if I would step out of the second and wait until the third so that I'm not half-concentrating on the second game for half of the game. So I guess this is a 'hat withdrawal'.
