Day found only Aganzir, Gwathagor, Eonwe, and Kath in conference. Isabellkya's corpse was on the table and Shasta had taken flight during the night.
"Uh oh," said Aganzir, looking over the other three. The ensuing battle was swift and decisive. Kath and Eonwe moved for the werewolf, readying club, whip, and blazing sword. Aganzir slew the Balrog Eonwe with lethal venom, but lost his skull to a heavy blow from the Olog Kath. "Excellent work, minion!" praised the Dragon Gwathagor, "The whole purpose of your life is fulfilled. I hope this death won't be very to painful." He drew a very deep breath and unleashed a blast of horrendous flame in the troll's direction. After the heat had abated and the smoke thinned, little remained in the Council's hall. The bodies, table, and lamp were utterly obliterated. Gwathagor then exited the mountain. He led his armies to war with the Free Peoples, going hither and thither, leaving a wasteland in his wake, and undoing much of the Valars' work. But in the end the Shadow passed away, for while Eru watches His Middle-Earth, it cannot be wholly destroyed. That was a bit shorter than I had intended. I hope you players enjoyed the game. Dead/gone: Aganzir (Werewolf, Hunter) Boro (Alatar, Innocent) Brinn (Wingless Dragon, Innocent) Eonwe (Balrog, Forced Werewolf) Done Good Work Ilya (Balrog, Innocent) Isabellkya (Balrog, Innocent) Meneltarmacil (Winged Dragon, Seer) Nogrod (Troll, Innocent) Sally (Troll, Innocent) Shasta (Winged Dragon, Innocent) Strongbow (Balrog, Innocent) Incinerated: Kath (Olog-hai, Forced Werewolf) Done Good Work Alive: Gwathagor (Wingless Dragon, Mastermind/Werebear) Winner!

Hmm...I sorta figured it'd all be over today. Sorry Gollum that it was so short. Watching the game, I realised early on things weren't looking bright for the innocents (especially when the most vocal players kept getting killed). I don't think we had much of a shot simply due to lack of participation (I may have only been alive one Day, but I know I'm partly at fault too). Perhaps for future reference, we should avoid having games run over the holidays..
Anyways, congrats to the other teams! Gwath, it's a good thing I died early on because I probably would've voted you. Not that I strongly suspected you, but I just thought Sally looked so clearly innocent. Eonwe, I didn't suspect much until the end of the final Day. Kath, I thought was innocent. I say she always manages to fool me, and it's true. Aganzir, I must apologise because while my vote for you was a random one, after I was lynched I was convinced the entire game you were evil. Even after you declared yourself the hunter, I thought you were lying and just trying to draw out the real hunter (unsuccessfully). Only towards the very end did I start to doubt my suspicions. I don't know what it was, you just seemed so manipulative. And your suspicions of Sally reminded me of when you (as a werewolf) got me lynched in Noggie's game... ![]()

Ha ha ha! I actually won! Though I don't feel like I really earned it, since I was gone so much. I'm sorry about that. Well-played, everybody! I'm also sorry about the Werebear mix-up. I wasn't really a Werebear; I was more like a Alpha Werewolf, since I was giving instructions to Eonwe and Kath, rather than just playing for myself.
Thanks for the interesting game, Gollum. I like how I destroyed Kath once I had gotten as much use as I could out of her. ![]()

Now see, that's where I didn't enjoy this game as much as I might have, the whole werebear thing was just really odd. The wolves, well, me anyway, were basically told that the werebear was on our side which is why we didn't kill Gwath toNight and lynch Agan tomorrow, thus ensuring ourselves the win which was our plan had we not been informed that the werebear was working with us. I mean even Gwath didn't know that that was going to happen.
I also feel that it's something of a hollow victory because we, well Gwath, only won because of a modfire at the same time so it doesn't feel as earned as it could have done. Despite that it was fun and it was lovely to be a wolf once again and everybody who played I think played fantastically, sally terrified me with how well she was pegging everyone and Agan and Menel covered their Gifted tracks beautifully. And I have to apologise to Nog because it was entirely my entire to kill him - though I have to say that it was so, so nice to be able to kill off all the loudmouths for once. Given the number of players who didn't turn up it was perhaps a shame that we did that even if it wasn't actually intentional because it did make for such a quiet game but it still felt good. ![]()

Gollum, good game.
![]() Nice job Gwath et Eonwe and Kath. I was not once ever suspicious of you Eonwe. That was well done. Kath I only became suspicious of towards the end. Gwath I thought you were a wolf the day after I died, because I said the day you were a wolf, and I defended you, it would be the end of me. I was slightly confused about the werebear as well, I kept wondering why there weren't two kills at night. I was thinking it was either Izzy or Shasta who hadn't been around for various reasons and we were only getting the wolf kills. Agan, sally, I adore the both of you, I want to make an attempt to be in every village with both of you. We can continue with Mith's upcoming game. ![]() Strongbow, you definitely need to do this again. And Menel you don't do this enough, sir. Once I thought Gwath was a wolf, I narrowed you and Agan down to being the seer for the way you both went after him on Day 1. I think one of our handicaps for the dutiful villagers was just how many seer dreams did Menel have? I'm still confused over the number and that makes it hard to take anything out of the Seer's death. Of course, I'd much rather have the seer not be killed, but when he/she is it's a great help to know exactly how many dreams the seer had. That's something I still have no idea about.

Sorry sally. Actually I started hoping no one would come in and vote you and Gwath (or anyone else) would be lynched instead because our talk during the last minutes of the day made me rather, well, convinced of your innocence.
I just couldn't help feeling the way I did. Haha Brinn. ![]() Well played, baddies. I had a bad feeling about Kath through the whole game but didn't do anything about it because I was so much after sally. But as for Gwath and Eönwë... I had a fleeting suspicion about them both on day 1 but played it down by thinking Nah, that's just normal behaviour for them, I don't want to start being nitpicky again. To be honest I wasn't as convinced about their innocence as I appeared to be - I was trying to look like the seer who had dreamed of them and found them innocent. I picked them because they looked rather innocent and I found I could change my mind about Gwath beautifully. No wonder my plan didn't work. ![]() I'm sorry, though, that the village was so quiet. I understand it was mostly because of RL stuff, what with holidays and Christmas and all. Still, after the other louder players had died, I didn't have much enthusiasm to make big cases and spend a lot of time online, either. It's not fun to feel I was playing all alone (which is maybe a bit unfair of me because there were other players participating well anyway - I'm probably just too used to seeing good long posts every time I refresh the thread). I think Menel had had two dreams when he was killed. Who actually were those dreams? Why did you wolves decide to kill him anyway? As for my role, I was told that if the wolves attacked me, I would kill one regardless of whether I had sent in their name or not. I sent in a name every night though. First I think I was hunting Nog because I thought there had been something fishy in the way he, Boro and me seemed to decide the lynchee on day 1. My second two nights I hunted sally, and then Eönwë. I'm a lousy hunter to reveal at such a bad time but I figured the wolves hadn't killed me because they had realised I was the hunter, and thought I could as well make it public information. Not that it would have changed the outcome of the game. Anyway thanks for the game Gollum. It was nice to have a bit smaller village for once (although it also meant it was quieter). If we don't take into account some frustration of having so many posts compared to most, the game was enjoyable.
