WWJ I: A New Saga, A New Beginning... Or Is IT!?!?!?

[The Only Real Estel]

A few words:

Dreams
NIGHT one: Fea (Ranger)
NIGHT two: Rune (Innocent Ord)
NIGHT three: Malkatoj (wolf)
NIGHT four: Hiriel (Hunter)

Of course I was gone before I could even hint at my fourth dream...sorry Sleepy Ranger, no dream of you.

Bergil – Nice game, I really wasn’t sure whether you or Sleepy was the wolf as the voting ended but you turned out the one. Short game, but pretty well played – for the longest time I was convinced that along with malkatoj someone who didn’t vote must be a wolf from what you said DAY two. It wasn’t until I was about to be killed that I began to suspect you might have been bluffing...

Eonwe - Fantastic game. I proclaimed you innocent based on your vote for Bergil, very good strategy. When we had Bergil and I had dreamed of malk I thought if I could narrow down the suspects enough on the evidence we had I could end the game, so I crossed you off my suspect list & didn’t really remember you until my last comment the Night before I was killed. Really the main thing was it seemed like you were posting the way I always post when I don’t want someone catching onto something. I can see why you guys killed me...I got lucky in picking up SR’s lynching campaign of Bergil, I dreamed of malkatoj and so incriminated her, & then my last words were words of suspicion towards you. I guess I got lucky/unlucky there.

Feanor of the Peredhil – Really fun running that bluff with you. It probably would’ve worked for a day longer at least also, if I hadn’t dropped that line about “what if I’m not the Ranger”? I had forgotten that she had “dreamed of me Night one,” or else I never would’ve said that of course. (Later I'll post a little more about that ill-fated bluff, although Fea's already seen/heard it)

Folwren – Good game. I was suspicious of you on several different occasions but in the end decided Eonwe was more suspicious than you (as I said in one of my last comments).

Gurthang – Sorry about that chap. No, I’m not going to apologize to everyone I’ve wrongfully lynched, but I suppose you deserve it. I was rather sure of myself at that point (if I just would’ve dreamed of you NIGHT two like I was planning we could’ve averted that whole disaster) & had an idea in my head that I didn’t question enough.

Hiriel – Well played, I never really suspected you as anything other than a helpful non-gifted villager until I dreamed of you the Night I was killed. Good game.

Kitanna – Pity you had to go so early, I wonder if any of the wolves saved their PMs for the game or could at least talk about their reasons/thought process behind their moves (their killing of you included).

Malkatoj – I really wasn’t that suspicious of you until Bergil was lynched & even then I thought it could be either you or Hiriel. I used my dream on you because Fea thought you were fishy at the least & I turned out right. Good game though, especially your strategy in pressing people for reasons instead of just accusations – very innocent sounding.

Rune Son of Bjarne – Well played, sir. I used my dream on you Night two because something about your posts just made me uneasy, though I couldn’t place it. Turns out you were innocent so I layed off of you (though I never wanted to seem to sure of anyone’s innocence expect Fea’s).

Sleepy Ranger – Was suspicious of you there for awhile, until Bergil proved wolfy. Still, I began to grow uneasy again after I was killed – Fea can attest that I thought the wolf was either Eonwe or you. Didn’t dream of you, I ‘asked the Seer’ to dream of you during one day but than Bergil was found out & I thought malk warranted a dream more than you.

Thinlómien – The no-votes were a little suspicious to me at first, but I decided early on you were telling the truth about your troubles & were trying your best. Good game – thanks for being the first to take up my logic & vote for Gurthang, even though it was entirely misguided.

WaynetheGoblin - What can I say? Welcome to the Cobbler Guild, seeing you voted for Gurthang only brings home one great truth in life: Cobblers, past & present, think alike. Bad luck with being lynch so early but of course I can’t say I’m sorry you didn’t win.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Just to make sure everyone knows that no rules were broken, I only PMed TORE game-relatedly after I died. It went something like this.

"Okay, so I'm officially dead now. Can you PLEASE explain what in the world the reason for that line about "what if I'm not the Ranger" was?"

I'm not the most patient of people, and since we were both dead, our comparing notes had no effect over the game.

End of disclaimer.

[malkatoj]

NIGHT one:
Glirdan, duh.

NIGHT two:
We killed Kitanna, obviously. The reasons for this were exactly as you picked up on that DAY--she didn't accuse any of us, none of us really mentioned her, it would leave no trail. It put you back at DAY one, with no idea what to do. We were tempted to kill either Fea or TORE, but we figured they would both work to our advantage, if thought innocent. Also, we "knew" Fea would be protected...wrong there. Our reasoning basically worked--none of you seemed to *really* suspect that Bergil was a wolf until he died.

NIGHT three:
We tried to kill Jack. We made the same mistake as Fea, clearly, in thinking that he was the Seer. When he was protected, we were almost sure we were right. That night we also considered killing TORE, but opted for Jack instead.

NIGHT four:
Killed TORE. (Hey, that rhymes!) I don't think any more reasoning is necessary than Fea's posts. We still, at this point, thought Fea had been protected on night 1 and was therefore could have been protected tonight. We also believed Fea a bit too much, though I was pretty suspicious about her confession. It seemed too risky even for her. We were luckier in killing him than we expected.

NIGHT five:
Well, I was dead at this point, but Eonwe killed Fea. Again, this one's pretty obvious. After that bluff, it was clear she was something important...correct me if I'm wrong.


Hopes this helps you understand our brains...though if it makes any sense, I'll be very surprised, considering I haven't slept for over 30 hours.

[Bergil]

I'm rolling thunder, I'm pouring rain.
I'm coming on like a hurricane
white lightning flashing across the sky
you're only young but you're gonna die

As soon as I was told I would be a wolf, I was going to own up (starting whith this song) if it became clear I was toast, but then I found out the games ended at 10:30. just so you know, there was no logic to anything I said, I was trying to lay as many trails as possible, leading anywhere, so my death would confuse you beyond recovery. It didn't work. nothing left to say but see you next game!

edit: darn, the next game's full

[Sleepy Ranger]

edit: darn, the next game's full

It is? Where? I didn't know they picked a mod yet...

[Eonwe]

malkatoj pretty much correct on our reasoning. night one, we wanted fea to be alive because we thought there was a good chance of her being lynched, the way she was acting. looking back though, i think it was a bad idea to kill kitanna. she always seemed like the kind that wasn't too vindicative. a better choice would have been someone like sleepy ranger or hiriel.

night two was jack. pretty obvious, thought she was the seer, like malkatoj said.

night three. TORE. i thought that this was the most important target. i was wrong. fea, i swear, if you had guarded him, i would have torn my hair out. i still figured he was the ranger, adn thought that he prolly had fea protected, because he would think that i would go for her. i had it all planned out; you both knew the same number of innocents (this was acctually not ture, i think) so i figured id best go with sure kill, cause the ranger couldn't protect himself. glirdan would have died laughing if fea had protected TORE, because i sent him a number of frantic pm's to see if the ranger could protect himself. it really would have been ironic, in a way...

night four. fea was teh obvious choice. get rid of that dratted woman! argggghhhh!

night five. sigh.....it never came, i was cut down in my prime....

anyway, that was what i was thinking throughout the game. like i've said, great game you all, hope to see you in another sometime!

[Sleepy Ranger]

A question to Eonwe or any other wolf,
Who did you plan as your next victim? (Perhaps if no lynching had taken place, who would you have killed?)
