A little something I found:

As far as I am concerned, were I a Wolf I would definitely not try to kill the Bear, but I would like to know who he is so that I could bump him off towards the end if necessary. That extra kill each night cuts the village down so quickly. Surely you can't pass that up. A Day 1 or Night 2 WereBear death would likely lead to a White Christmas. Er, victory.

My take on the Bear killing the Wolves- I would definitely try and kill Wolves once a certain point in the game had been reached. What point, you ask?

Well, if we're on Night 4 and no Wolves have died, I would say it's time to thin them a bit. But the Bear wouldn't want to attack them sooner as it might cause them to be wiped out too early, and he would lose their nightly kill.

However, perhaps the Bear will think it more important to completely control the night and end the threat of being slain at night? I don't know....

If that is the case, he will gun for the WereWolves from the start and will kinda sorta be an ally for us. But then again, if he cannot claim victory himself, is not the slaughter of the village his next greatest desire? Surely the Werebeasts are all servants of destruction, and would rather see evil win than good, even if they don't live to see it. If that is the method adopted by the WereWolves and WereBear, then they will be trying to avoid each other.

Though that is no easy task, for if the Werebeasts are able to identify each other with any success, one would think that the village would be able to do the same. So how possible to coordinate is it really? It almost seems silly to try. You could try and do the opposite and possibly do just as well.

Everywhere you look- interesting scenarios and layers of strategy. I love this set up!

I AM WHITE

He posted this Day 1, and yes I did catch it right away.

I'm assuming you put that there after seeing Fea's secret little hidden message? Perhaps so that when you revealed her message we'd go back and see your's? Or was there some other motive?

Well it fooled me.....sadly. Though I don't know why I ever believed anything the phantom said, especially something so obvious given on Day 1, haha, an innocent phantom would be far more discrete.

You found my clue, Wilwa! You've made my day!

But if you were to continue on to my next post after that, take a look at what the first thing I say is after my hidden message.

Still licking it clean, dear. I suspect as it is your platter that it may have come into contact with your lips at some point.

So Shasta PM'd me on the Night that I killed Fea and said "do you want the good news or the bad news?" Once we actually got around to 'yes, hun, you're dead, but you fulfilled your role' I asked him what Fea was. He replied, "Sauron, of course." I about had a heart attack, because I wouldn't have put it past him. Heh.



Fea, you homewrecker!!!!!!

I've been called worse.

Good game, everybody. I lost fair and square. That was fun.

Do you know how difficult it is to avoid arousing suspicion when you ask her to spend two days bathing in teriyaki sauce?

"But why, hon?"

"It, um, will give you a nice healthy looking tan."

"I've never heard that."

"My friend Rosa uses it, and she's more tan than most people."

"Rosa is Mexican."

"No, she just looks that way."

"Her last name is Gonzales."

"Jim uses it."

"He's a burn victim."

"He accidentally used BBQ sauce."
