Let's stick to werewolfing....

I hate to be a sore werewolf entree, but the role-playing aspect of this game made it less enjoyable than it could have been. Friendships, relationships, etc. blurred every post, making it difficult to determine who was playing a role and who was playing the game. In the future, if the moderator wants to inject a bit of RPG into a game, I think it is very important that it be stipulated that all players are individuals and have no 'virtual' ties with other players.

I should have made more of a nuisance of myself. As the hunter, I was taking phantom with me next if I was was targeted.

Funny, my death came at a very convenient time. I just graduated this weekend and was without a computer for 2 days. I didn't even get the chance to check and make sure I was dead, but with the crowd left over, I just assumed my votes were the majority. I was tempted to put in my last post "If you kill me, you'll lose." But I didn't. I wracked my brain to try and prove myself innocent, well, I tried.

I liked the RPGing stuff, myself...it turned theorising into climactic passages, and made Saucie's posts rather richer. I particularly enjoyed the redistribution of Eomer's wealth.

This is really too frighteningly addictive. I'm going to rest next game, I think.

Thanks for the excellent game, everyone! As Anguirel said, this is really addictive.

I think the RPG aspect can be very misleading but also very funny to read. I found SpM's posts really enjoyable! I especially loved the Little Red Riding Hood touch in the last one

Phantom & Nim, it was a pleasure to terrorize the village with you!

Not taking anything away from his performance, but I do think the phantom was awarded a significant slice of luck when Fordim accused him out of nowhere. This afforded him sympathy straight from the off, didn't it? After that, all accusations against the phantom boiled down to the initial confrontational accusation that I saw as a strategy, and nothing else. Perhaps Master Hedgethistle is a true seer!

It's funny how little things work out to turn a game. Remember when mormegil chose to dream about Firefoot? Very lucky because Firefoot was actually playing a blinder and could have caused much havoc were it not for that dream.

I agree that it is addictive, but surely it's better than other vices........right? Right?
