Wow, so close Alcarillo, so close. Good job though.

Congratualations villagers on the win, even though I wish it was us cats doing the dancing.

I guess I can mention now something I noticed in Valier's first few posts. I noticed this, before she said that she hadn't put clues in her posts, when I thought there were actual hints.

In her first post she refered to the cats as the one with the scare, the largest one and the one to the left. The one with the scar was Sleepy(as she stated in his death) and I believe that I was the one to the left, leaving Alc as the largest one.

Here's why:

In that same post the only thing the "one to the left" says is "I agree". Then in Valier's post of her death the only thing I say is that I agree with Kath on something or other. So both times I was only agreeing. I was sure someone would notice that, but no one did. Atleast I don't think anyone did. *looks around suspiciously*

So Valier, did you do that on purpose or was it just a coincidence?

Valier is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Really and truly I didn't even look back at what I had wrote in the first narration about the scar, the one to the left and the largest one. I just meant for it to sound more story like. When I wrote the day's narrations I had them mostly written down already, then I picked names from a hat to put names in the blanks, so it was just a coincidence that Wilwa you where the one to agree with someone.

I totally wanted people to have something to talk about with the story on the first day, but did not intend to give away any real hints and after I read everyones posts I was amazed with what I overlooked in my writing. I did not giving anything in the posts that pointed to Alcarillo or Sleepy so please believe me when I say it was completely random.

I believe you. But it is a very odd coincidence. I'm surprised no one noticed it.

Oh how lovely! Good work, dear villagers! I would've composed you a sweet little poem but you see I hate you and I hate dancing but thats beside the fact. The fact as I love all of you because Diamond just called me a wolf... a Sleepy Wolf not a Dancing Cat of Doom but a Sleepy Wolf...! All is right in the world again. *Eats an apple.*

Gah! I was so close to victory! So close I could almost touch it, but it slipped from my claws at the last moment! Curses! If only Formendacil were not a seer!

Well, congratulations Roa and Eonwe for making it to the end. Great job, villagers, killing off my two friends in the first two days.

Well I can now state my strategy to all. Of course it has dimished a bit in my mind but I will give you the generals. I knew I needed to be vocal otherwise it would be too obvious. I would be brazen and yet 'off' in my posts so that the cats wouldn't pick up on me. For example, I dreamt of Wilwa the first night I had a dream. My goal was to get the ball rolling against her and see if I could get her lynched. I did start the rolling because how often does a seer do that? Well as soon as Wilwa gave a moderate defense I faked like I believed her, again so the cats wouldn't think I was the seer, which worked. Obviously nobody thought I dreamt of her. My plan was put almost failed but Eonwe came and saved me. Due to his last minute vote change and kill of Wilwa I thought him innocent ergo I never dreamt of him despite what Formendacil stated. I merely thought him innocent and was correct in my assumption.

The next night I dreamt of Thinlo because of her posts during the day. She never spoke of Wilwa openly and somewhat attempted, in my mind, to divert attention. She was the cause of almost ruining my plan. I though her feline for it. Unfortunately I couldn't save her the next day even though I tried a bit I couldn't make it too obvious, therefore she needed to be sacrificed although Diamond became very suspicious during that day.

Isn't it odd how gifteds can appear suspicious because the next day I dreamt of Diamond, but due to her declaration she opened a good door for me to write her off my suspicion list. This was the same day the Formendacil made his best decision and choose me to dream of. He made an unexpected decision and declared himself, I think the next day but we dreamt of Kath and found her to be the adroit protector, by the way Kath your best time in the role . Gladly I was still under much suspicion too much perhaps as Diamond killed me she has since apologized and all is forgiven but Formendacil and I had some great plans in the works to distance ourselves and yet reek havoc for the cat. Sorry Alcarillo you did well but two seers that late was too much. I am glad that Formendacil thought I dreamt of Eonwe but to answer your question Roa I was yelling two things mainly

1. I DIDN'T DREAM OF EONWE AND I DID DREAM OF WILWA

2. I BELIEVE GARIN IS INNOCENT DON'T LYNCH HIM!!!! (poor chap has never had the chance of dying by the trio's hands or surviving)

All in all a well played game and great modding. Sorry to everybody about my reaction to the hinting but when that came out I was vehemently opposed and disagree that the mod should choose who is to be a given role and also opposed to the mod giving any sort of hint. It ruins the game to me.

Thanks to all.

Alas poor Formendabras! I knew him well, Horatio.

And so perished my attempt to play a game several degrees less somberly than usual... Valier, I would swear you set me up to make me sober up.

I'm kicking myself now for not dreaming Alcarillo sooner... All game I had him on the back of my mind, as being too quiet... And I kept dismissing it, and dismissing it...

And, speaking of Alcarillo: you have the most annoying playing style ever! I know you have time for more than one post per day, you deliberately sneaky wolf, you!

My goodness, this was a frustrating game for me. I had a very good nose for felines due to my close relationship with them and tried to communicate thus.

Unfortunately, I was suddenly de-clawed near the close of this journey and spent most of my time groaning with my hand on my crotch. (RL issues, watch HBO Deadwood series for more info.)

I was angered that I couldn't get Alcarillo lynched in my final scene. I don't anticipate playing WW for awhile but we shall see, I'll miss you all and will try to keep in touch.
