Jenny - you freaked me out when you latched on to me so much. I nearly panicked as I did on my first attemt at wolvery.... you have no idea how relieved I was to survive day 1 - everything else was a bonus until the last night and it seemed we really could win it.
*grumbles* I thought you were really the first who seemed to be taking the game seriously, except for Firefoot who seemed pretty desperate. Only during the last day, in PMs with Lommy, did I finally realize you were really suspicious.

EDIT:

And that early vote from the "wait until the last possible second" person was also a bit of a tip-off.

Well I didn't deliberately wait - that was timezones and with so few participants it was hard to hide votes so I had to be careful. But last day I knew if someone else voted for an innocent I could make the victory secure becasue of the first to total rule. So if Valier had voted Firefoot so would I - of course that would have been far more conspicuous btu it didn't matter then

*clap**clap* Well done to everyone. I was so glad I was able to mod this game.
I have to say, the chaos that ensued the day Nogrod revealed himself as the seer and Roa was lynched, that was great. I thought you guys would just forget about the rules and just kill one another.

On my first venture as a wolf, I was glad to have mith on my team. Her experience was helpful, and her calm reasonable manner was the lead I followed in getting people to trust us. The whole no real connections thing was her idea. And Elu was good to work with, too. He provided a lot of thoughts and suggestions as to who we should kill, and posted just enough for me to throw suspicion at him with out making a viable case.

Night 2- We thought Folwren was the seer, since most of his posts seemed to say "I know something you don't know." There was a bit of confusion though- we almost ended up killing Firefoot instead! That's why that day really started late I think. Kitanna was waiting for one of us to get on and clear the confusion. I'm glad we cleared that up.

As for the Villagers:

Jenny, as I said in the last words thread, you may have been overly agressive, but I admire your boldness in a game that's new to you. That takes guts.

Valier- Your voting record had me in stiches, especially when no one trusted you. Your style may have been frothy, but you took charge near the end, and gave real substance. Good work!

Thin- Sorry to knock you out early. You're posts look like they would have gotten very interesting.

Wilwa- I honestly didn't mean to get you lynched. When I logged back on to find that I had helped lynch the hunter, I had a near heart attack. I thought, "What? But... no... you weren't supposed to follow me!"

Nogrod- Holy cow. The way you pulled a case out of nothing amazed me. Your posts at the beginning were well though out. However, you might want to watch the attitude. Also, it amused me when you said that the wolves wouldn't vote for their own, and to watch for my teammates trying to save me. I really had to laugh out loud at that one when I thought, "They had better not save me. We discussed that at the beginning. None of this teamplay nonsense here."

Folwren- One of the few talkers, I was almost sorry to kill you. Really, it's almost too easy in a quiet village to doge the noose. You have no idea how glad I was that you sort of trusted me.

Firefoot- Yes, I leeched onto you, almost for the sole purpose of creating a link to you instead of Mith and Elu. But, you did speak reason, even if you were wrong on a lot of it. You're analysis skills are top notch.

Sleepy- I ws sorry to see you go. From your few posts on day one I could see that a game with you would be interesting. Of course we were planning on killing you early anyways, and we thought about killing you instead of Thin, but still... Sorry you couldn't be around more. Exams suck.

Eonwe- I guess your luck with the seer was about as bad as mine. Oh well, you were a good asset to the game. Sorry you couldn't post more.

Gandalf- Well, access problems are quite a bother. It's a shame you haven't really been able to play, but I hope you can get things straightened out soon, so you can actually participate in the next game you join. I'd like to see what you could do.

Well, I guess that's it. Can't wait for the next game. ^_^

I hope you remember, it was the first game for me too. I did realize speaking stupidly about that team-work thing just after I had posted it...

I'm coming to reflect over this attitude-thing, as I PM'd you already. Sorry to have been so aggressive: kind of run out of other options back then. I you recollect the situation, I was playing most of the day two against you and Firefoot (whom I really took as a wolf). So fighting alone, against two wolves, with no help from anyone! That was scary... and fun!!!

Thanks everyone, again.

Thank you Roa! You are one of the only players who thought I played well despite my earlier Frothyness! (p.s What the heck does frothy mean, concerning a human?) At the start it was hard to get going but, I really did try to win this one for the villagers who had passed.

It was the posts not you per se which were frothy for the first day and a half. You posted quite a lot but when you looked at it it really was saying nothing useful for wolfhunting.... all "In character" stuff which couldn't be taken seriously. It was entertaining but when it lasted beyond day 1 and Folwren and Firefoot were producing good analyses ... it did make it possible to make you look dubious.

But I will say, you are a very brave player and not afraid of taking a stand.

If you ever play the Hunter, I will really hope not to be a wolf.

Well played people! I was watching you struggle and wished the villagers would win. It didn't happen so (congrats, wolves) but it was fun to watch.

Firefoot - The "Roa/Nogrod Day" I was so sure you were a wolf, especially if I followed Nogrod's logic concerning the relationship between you and Roa. Later, Nogrod revealed me that he had dreamed about you the night he died and he told you were ordo. I was so surprised! I was also glad that you weren't lynched because of Nogrod's theory.

Nogrod - You were probably a bit scary for the people who were alive, but I thought you amusing... Well played for a first game! And for a game in general, too.

Eonwe - I always like playing with you! You have insight and you don't usually write idiotic things.

Sleepy - Good game. You were actually one of my main suspects on Day 1 purely because of your style. then - lucky for you (or actually that wouldn't have influenced very much, but) - you made an insightful good innocent-like post. The self-vote was uderstandable.

Valier - I had the feeling that you were bossed around a bit and everyone was using you for their own means. Regarding that, you did really well.

Mith - After the "Roa/Nogrod Day" and a later discussion with dead Nogrod I was suspecting you very strongly. But, the village didn't see through your role, so it was well played.

Elu - Without certainity about the dead and firefoot plus my innocent-feeling of Jenny and valier, I would never have guessed you to be a wolf. Extremly well played for a wolf, acceptably played in general (you didn't say practically anything usfel on the first days).

Jenny - You were kind of on/off-person on my suspected wolves list. Your style is making people confused. Just like Feanor of the Peredhil. (And that is positive, she's a good player.)

Roa - Well played except the slip "I've never been a wolf before". At the beginning I was convinced you were innocent.

I don't have anything mindful to say about the others; all is already said.

Night 1 we wanted to lynch someone quiet - the reason it was Lommy not Gandalf..... well I know it was stupid to think this could be that simple but if you look at the original list and see where we wolves and Wilwa were......
So don't be in wrong place on the list by the mod and don't let your mom fall ill so you can't participate enough. I promise to remember this next time...
