You would have been, Underhill, if Enca had gotten you instead of morm!

It almost worked up to a point. I knew I wasn't a wolf, and I was remarkably certain that Esty wasn't. I was still considering Underhill, but once I saw my body fly through the air, I knew it was Encai.

I had a bit of an intuition that I might be cursed, and I spent some of Night Four contemplating what my strategy would be if I was attacked instead of morm (I don't know about the rest of you, but I caught myself thinking about the game at odd times over the whole run). I thought it unlikely that the wolf would come after me after Enca's mistake, since morm still looked the most innocent, but it was fun to think up ways that I could try to frame morm as the cursed.

I have to admit secretly coveting the role of cursèd and activated. The challenge of going from suspected innocent to unsuspected wolf strikes my fancy like you wouldn't believe.

Pipe No guesses on the 'easter eggs' but I do have a few comments:

First off:

++the phantom

For Best Moderator ever. Seriously, that was some pretty awesome narration.

Oh, and lynch

++the phantom

for dragging it out so long and trying to kill us with all the suspense.

Excellent game everyone.
I couldn't have said it better myself. I was alternately ticked at you for dragging out suspense & praising you for your awesomeness. I especially liked your last scene.

My thought process was something like this:

What!? Esty!! Wow. Wait...no, it could be Underhill. Huh. NO! It's Fea! They should've known! What, Enca? Yes, it is ENCA!! Fantastic.

I would praise the phantom too for his outstanding moderation (both in formulating the rules and for the narraction), but I am afraid that, if I did, his head would swell to such proportions that it would burst out of my screen ...
Oh, you must have one of those huge computer monitors. His head outgrew my screen months ago.

The funny thing was, it really was a mistake. I had a total brain fart...I decided that since I was going to get lynched in the end, I might as well confuse you all a lot before going down.
Uh...that sounds so much like me in my last game it's scary!

Great game, all!
