A reference to a certain WW game...

Okay Spm, let's call it fifty-fifty?

We were both innocents who died the same Night.

We both strongly drove forwards a few ideas good to us all.

We both had suspicions over each other (with flawed reasons).

We both went through the voting records quite arduously to get our clues to help the village (you did more actual work on them but in the end I managed to nail Gil with the help of them).

We both won from beyond the grave.

We over-thinked just a bit too much both of us. Though thinking was the thing that secured our victory in the end.

And sorry about my vote to you on Day3 but I was then trying to play it as effective I could - and I think you would have made the same decision had our roles been the other way around.

I mean that It was clear that Rikae was to be protected on Night4 and thence I as the revealed-Hunter was facing a high probability of death the next Night. So as I saw that the innocent Mac ( ) voted for you and put you to 5-4 lead at the last minute I thought it was safest to confirm your lynch (had Mac been an innocent you would have died without my vote anyhow) and make the vamp-Legate a bit more assured with killing me - as I took Legate as my target that Night...

-----

Oh my Volo, your riddles were just headbangers! I had no idea where my own came from, not to talk of those of the others! I can see sense in many of them as I look at them afterwards, but they do actually require quite a lot of work to unravel... And that is not bad as such but might lessen the chance of someone actually posting them...

I do agree. I indeed spammed Volo with a bit more lengthier post dealing with my hunter choice one Night where I cried that the situation just didn't make sense and that I was pretty worried that there was something wrong with our then "known" innocents... had it just occured to me that we had a cobbler(lover) in this game...

But yes, this was such fun!

Thumbs up It is over!

The final narrations are all there on page 15, posts 597-599.


Thank you all once again!


Gil-Galad was the king of the game! Love you too! Don't drop the style (We'll pay you.)!

Mac, thank you so much for accepting the annoying role. I was extremely nervous with it, especially as it's a one time role (unless we want to temper the newbies).

And Lommy for not killing me (yet)!

Sleepy, I was so happy when you decided to join after such a long break. Well, it didn't work this time, but I hope to see you in a game or two during the Summer!

Same to Glirdan! Do join a game during the Summer, I really want to see you out in the land of Werewolf!

Diamond, I was not only suprised that you joined the game, but also thrilled. And I was right! You did an awesome job as the Ranger.

Sixth, this really only your second game? Well played, well played!

Celuien... I was really sorry to see you lynched so early. When you yourself are in the game, you care only about yourself. But now that I wasn't in the danger of being killed, I felt really sad for you who did get killed. See you in another game!

Brinniel, you too. You felt so excited in the discussion thread, I really thought that the Vampires did unfairly when they killed you *coughcough*. I hope this didn't send you away from WW! (I also really liked your character.)

Aganzir, you old Dwarf! Though it cost me an icecream to get you here, it was worth it! Haven't seen many first timers who get killed off by a special killing role for playing too well.

You have the right attitude, Rune! Sure was worth waiting for you to join!

Shasta, wow! Sorry to have put you into such a hard game straight away, but you sure wasn't new to WW. Great RPGing! Do join an another game,

Esspiem the Deathless. When I found out what your first miraculous rebirth in Mac's game was, I laughed really hard! Now here's the man to whom the Innocents should be thankfull!

Menel, wait... "Now stop killing off Menel at the first Days! >: (" I hope to see you in a game during the Summer, where you aren't killed so soon "Hear that!".

Rikae the Seer. Funny how a Seer can be of so much use after being revealed on Day 2 and Dreaming only of Innocents! I'm waiting for your game, remember to put my name in the very top.

Legate the Ever Encouraging. Huh, you too were already a wolf... I really messed up with the roles then. Anyway, well played, I'm sorry your computer malfunctioned... Hmm... I haven't played a single game with you, that has to be changed!

Xyzzy! I'm sorry that I couldn't really fit your character into the game, it was an original one too. Try giving WW some more time and don't forget to join the next game!

That jerk, now where's he! Ah, Durelin! I had lots of fun with your character, pity he couldn't bring that gun of his. Good thinking there!

Roa! That PM you sent really made me smile, I hope you're not too angry that I didn't answer it the way you asked me to... Sorry, I must say that your death was probably the key to victory, as Nogrod would have wasted all his time Hunting you if you were there!

Nogrod, your character was a bit too hard to interpret in this game. Though I'd like to thank you for it. Good thinking, Hunting and bluffing, thanks for the advice on it!

Boromir! Somehow I feel guilty, you didn't seem to get too much space in the narrations... Great Day 1! (Did you really not vote on Day 2, or did I mess things up?) See you in the next games!

Firithhyando, or may I say, Eomer. Very good playing! And I really liked how you signed your messages! Bad luck that

Kitanna caught Eomer so quickly! Wow! I hope you had fun Shading! Well played. Ah, too well played, have to change the role now...



And most of all I thank you, Kath! Without you I really really couldn't have done this! I'd have probably lost hope and quit the whole WW business if you had PMd that you don't want to help me. And of course that wasn't all, oh no it wasn't!

Except for the most important thing, discussing, you also taught me to write some things correctly and understandably, you wrote a great narration with ideas that I promise to use later, when I couldn't manage to do something because of time or other problems, you always answered the PMs with "Ok, I can do that", the chats during the game were not only amusing and funny, but also extremely encouraging!
Anyway, to cut the usual long text short: Great work! Thank you!

My apologies to Brinniel. She was my choice for the first kill. I thought she was behaving in a slightly gifted-ish way. The others told me that she always gets killed early but by that stage I was too bloodthirsty.

So hope you can forgive me.

Volo you're such a sweetheart. I think I'm blushing.

But hey, you're the one that came up with the idea. You guys should have seen the 10 odd pages he presented me with after asking me to help. He had this planned down to the letter right from the start. So kudos Volo! And I'm greatly looking forward to the sequel.

The narrations were great, Volo! Wonderful game, everyone, if only for a day.
