Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXI: Dueling Wizards Werewolf

[Roa_Aoife]

And one last thing. I'm just curious about this Roa. What did you think when I posted this on Day 1?

...because Roa is a Wizard, of course.

I laughed, because I never take those things seriously on Day 1. It's usually just flitting around. But what gave me away?

Hey Roa... I've been wondering...

What did you think of this post?

That also amused me, because I knew all three of them could talk their way around it, and few people would take that evidence seriously when they did. I was impressed with your insight though.

And Diamond, the whole point of this after game discussion is to give thoughts and critiques on the game and the players. You don't have to read it. If you believed Loki, then you killed a known innocent in a game where those are a rare gift to have. You accuse me of judging your playing style, but you condemned him for his. That was spiteful and foolish. I don't claim to have never made mistakes, but I accept them and learn from them when they are pointed out to me. I do not attack the people who are kind enough to do so.

Wow, everything I say just goes in one ear and out the other, doesn't it, Roa? A pity. But at least I know where we stand, which is a good thing.

It was sort of a process of ruling out other people.

1) There were some that I was fairly sure wouldn't volunteer to be a wizard. This narrowed my list a bit.

2) I considered the moderating team, lmp, Boro, and Kuru, and thought about who they would or wouldn't pick for various reasons. This narrowed my list considerably.

3) I assumed that Loki was telling the truth, and thought about who would possibly pick him as a Seer or Wolf.

If I'm remembering right, only two (or was it three?) people made it through my Wizard test, and you came through looking the best out of them.

So there you go.

Hot Chocolate and cookies anybody?


Well I'm glad to see that the phantom didn't suspect me. Though I didn't survive until the end that's a moral victory.

Actually, I'd take milk with my cookies, if you've got any.

Sort of funny, because Nilp did suspect you... of being the Good Wizard. In fact, he actually asked me if I was you. Here's a bit of the PM that I got from Kuru from Nilp:

Am I right?

Well, I just realized (okay not just now, but just decided to post now) that this has, by far, been the most emotionally charged game I've ever seen. I suppose most of it is due to the fact that two players were picked to choose teams. And choosing teams has always caused some people to be left out.

Yet, it seems odd; mainly because the emotion is far more than I would ever have expected. Certain clashes due to playing style and the hurling of insults were more abundant here than anywhere I think I've ever seen on the 'Downs. Especially unique is the way this 'extra' emotion overflowed to the pre-game discussion and now even a little to the post-game discussion. Strange indeed.

Oh, the possibilities! Well, I really did want you on my team, and yet again you surprise me with your thinking, because it seems similar to my own thoughts... somewhat.

I had a thought, sometime around Day 1 or Day 2, about having my hunter come out and claim to be the Good Wizard. Basically, this would give me a direct line of communication to the villagers without revealing myself to the EW. I wanted to get a wolf name first, just in case the Evil Wizard decided to 'check' that the real GW had come forward. Then the Hunter would simply have a wolf to kill.

Another reason I wanted to make a Hunter is because his death would narrow down the possible villagers who might have been the EW. Sort of sad to say, but I wanted to kill as many people as fast as possible to narrow down my choices. Looking back, that might not have been the best idea, but it all worked out in the short run.
