The Seer? I'm never the Seer, not once in about a million Werewolf games.

I can see why you would think that, though. Refusing to vote for Nilp when I was in trouble might have suggested that; but really, the Nilp lynching got the game off to a ridiculous start. He just wants to be loved!

So both of my slaves turned out to be treacherous creatures of the night. I regret not whipping them enough, now...

Kath, I mean it when I label you the Mistress of Damning Analysis. Your analysis of Glirdan was a masterpiece of painting him in the worst light possible, while sounding entirely reasonable, and was probably what sealed his fate.
That's why I rarely do them when innocent. I have a bad habit of sounding sure of myself and getting people alongside, and almost always get an innocent lynched.

I could have responded to it in detail, but alas the England v Portugal match was calling.
Why do you think I posted it when I did

Now, someone asked about the kills, let's see:
Night 1 was Cailin and Noggie of course - we had a chat about how we were going to act and whether we should concentrate on the Lovers early on (oh that we had!). We also considered how early we should kill Sauce and morm due to their threat-level. We decided how we would pick who was to be killed each Night (whether by vote or consensus).

Night 2 - we killed Eomer, mostly because Ang convinced us, well, me, Gurthang never believed it, that he was the Seer. It was a choice between him and Jenny. We also spoke about timezone issues as we were trying to work out when we'd have to make a decision by. We also discussed how Rune would act the next Day, as he was worried he'd be under a lot of suspicion.

Night 3 - we killed Jenny, sure that she was pretty unlikely to take any of us with her, though there was some worry over Rune. We also considered morm as possible Seer but in the end decided that was unlikely.

Night 4 - we killed Holby, obvious really. We also talked about when we would kill Sauce, it was planned to happen after we'd killed two of the innocent, which was the way it went I think though the villagers helpfully did it for us.

Night 5 - we killed Fin, as revenge for Rune, really no other reason. She was one of the three innocents, and Caran had no suspicion of any of us so we thought it would be fine to leave her alive. We considered Tali but thought it would be worth keeping him as he was going after Sauce.

Night 6 - we killed Caran. This was the Night Gurthang decided I was the Lover due to a comment of mine saying we shouldn't kill Sauce because he'd come under suspicion the next Day. Apparently he didn't believe me

Night 7 - we killed TGWBS. Eventually we decided I was not the Lover and so decided not to kill a male since we knew there was no point, and we thought we needed to get the innocent Lover that Night, which we would as we were going to go for Lalaith. However, we were then persuaded into killing TGWBS by Ang. That was my fault though, I suggested not going after the Lovers, as if we could lynch an innocent the next Day we would win, not realising that the plan had just been revealed to a Lover

And that's the gist of it.

As I said, just goes to show how analyses can be used as great tools by skillful Wolves.

I still don't understand why morm and I always seem to viewed in this way. There are many other skillful players who seem to get away with a lot more. Mentioning no names *coughLalaithcough*.

Did you ever (prior to the final Night) consider how things might be play out if there were two remaining Wolves: one the Lover and one Loveless?

Indeed. I could have predicted that he would be the last of the known not-Wolves to go.

Because my dear you have proven your skill. You and morm have both shown that you can win as wolves and as innocents and that you can do it with incredible skill. We now know that Lalaith and Ang can do the same thing, but prior to this game it hadn't been so obvious. That's the reason.

No, at least not via PMs at any rate. We sort of figured that we'd get the innocent Lover before too long and the problem would just go away. Really bright plan that

Um, I think we contemplated it. Yes, Ang suggested it and we had a little chat about it, but I don't think we ever really thought you were the Seer. Why, were you trying to fake it?

A bit. It's fun to try and steer the wolf conversation towards yourself when you are merely an innocent ordo, the only problem is the seer dreams of you too
