Tol-in-Gaurhoth LI: The Pain of Wargs

[Brinniel]

To be specific, this is the PM I was given:

Your one aim in this game is to kill, or otherwise cripple, the one you have been stalking all this time: Manwë, who has entered the game this night too. He has slain the Warg known as 'Legate' and assumed his form.

Once you bring about Legate's downfall, by manipulating the Wargs to lynch him, the game will be finished for you, and be considered a great success.

Manwë knows not that Melkor is present in the village. You are hidden from him.

So yeah, once my role was changed my entire focus went towards getting Legate lynched. While I knew his role, I had no idea what tasks that role involved, only that he had no idea about me. Once the Day began, it was pretty easy to get Legate lynched; I admit I really didn't have to do any convincing...the village was already pretty keen on lynching him. Which is why I didn't go on an all-out attack on him and instead more gradually picked up my suspicions towards him.

Anyways, it was a good game with an interesting turn at the end (just when you thought the traitors would win, we finally catch one ultimately thanks to Kath who was put into a tough situation). I do wish I could've been around more on Day 1 and 2 (sorry about that). And I must admit I was pretty confused regarding roles...after my role was changed, I wondered how many other experimental roles were out there and if anyone else would be given new roles throughout the game.
