I have a vague idea that has happened a few times between two-three people in a village. But it rarely works this well as it also requires people who would be active and willing to make an effort for it. A combined trust is not enough, but a combined effort is also needed (as we saw with Eönwë - and with Sally as well).

And what success it was!

Sweet, sweet oblivion.

Thank you, Nogrod. *curtsies*

In this game, I was a murderer, a horrible liar, and an adulteress (if my only words to Rune before his death could be taken that way). How much worse can I get?

Lommy, I hope you forwarded my hate mail to Greenie.

I'm really sorry, my fellow wraiths. You did know first Night that I wanted to die, didn't you?

More of this after I'm done with my psych testing (i.e. how the med school administrators realise that they made the wrong choice accepting me and should send me to the psych ward instead).

Don't be, I got a real good dose of WW my first game, now it's all fair game.

I am pleased to see my sudden Rune switch worked, or at least it created a little wondering about possibly being a gifted. You played it well, if it wasn't for Nogrod being the seer, I don't know whether I would have ever suspected you. Then it all made sense why Nog jumped on my willingness to make a "deal" on Day 1.

I really thought that the village would still manage to pull defeat from the jaws of victory, haha.

But the wolfies made a critical mistake first, so tough luck to them.

Kudos to Rune, vzv, for (most probably) winning the game.

Yes it was very well played game and I had lots of fun playing it, I was sad to see Kent go so early in the game, it would have been interesting having him around in the later stages.

I almost did not protect Nogrod the second time around, I thought that maybe the wraiths would go for another person in order not to waste a kill.

Actually I almost did not protect Nogrod when he first revealed him self as the seer, simply because I was not arround to see it. I was just about to send in my choice to Lommy, when i decided to have a quick look at the thread and even here it was only because Nogrod had adressed his post to the ranger that i noticed.

I thought that Lhuna and Legate was brilliant wraiths, Legate seemed like his normal innocent self and Lhuna was impossible to get a proper read on.
Sally was spectacular as always and Eönwë mannaged to keep him self alive for quite alive. (I did get a wraith feel from him though)

And I do appologise to Isabel for suspecting her, my case was very weak.

Oh and Lhuna, you are no adulteress, your husband was long dead. . .

Thank you, sir. You've also done a good job. And you certainly managed to avoid being killed by us (although we have been thinking about it on the very first Night, unless I am mistaken... oh, what a fault again).

Ah, yes. What a brilliant game!

Everyone played really we,, and for once there was a trust between you ordos and gifteds, and it worked out for you. Once Lhuna had revealed, I knew that I would end up dead that Day, and just before the end I decided to try one last time.

And now, I'm probably known for my crazy theories, and even crazier plans as a wolf (Legate will support me on this one).

Anyway, yes. Nice game. Well played, innocents, and great narrations Lommy.

sally, how about those Night PMs and chats?

(Although you could probably leave out the bit where the guys try to get us to go to sleep. )
