WWLXII: Dead Men Do Tell Tales

[Kath]

Well done Gwath! Carrying it through on your own was very impressive there! I thought you were safer than you were as I'd become convinced that Nerwen was a cobbler by the end, it was only when I read the narration with the roles revealed that I realised how much trouble you could have been in there!

Very well done to the ordos though. In that game where you couldn't know anything to get two wolves lynched so close together was amazing!

To Brinn, hope you managed to enjoy modding despite everything that happened. That was a brilliant game, not knowing the roles definitely added bizarreness! Great fun. I felt bad not returning after being killed but I was too afraid of getting Gwath in trouble.

Thought I might take the opportunity to answer a question from Boro earlier: yup, I'm a conservative player. Had I been innocent or guilty I'd have voted for Gwath that Day if he was going to be modfired because I'd rather only one person died in a Day than two.

Hehe, still I think it was more of I found some fishy things in your analysis post, and I remember you saying you can't ever get away with it as a wolf. I was most sure of Mac, simply because of Lommy and the way he ended up acting...and once he voted for you for really no reason, but retracted for Izzy, I thought there was a chance you were actually a wolf. Mira, I had no idea about, if she hadn't suddenly had to go, I don't know when I would have voted for her.

Yes Nogrod, I doubt if Mira and Kath came up as wolves, and then Mac, you would have thought I was a co-conspirator. Now maybe you would have thought I was being a bold wolf to make it to the end, but if we had known the roles, I doubt you would have been thinking I was a co-conspie the entire time. And really the only reason I thought you were evil, is because you kept insisting I was a co-conspie, and that I was playing too stubborn to be innocent. Come on...like I said, when am I not stubborn? You should have at least notice though that I had good reasons and intentions on why I voted for each person that I did, hence I was innocent. Although, from you, you may be getting a picture of me dining on a shoe sometime.

I would like another apology from Lommy...but this one just to rub it in, alright you get all the glory about Mac, and I do apologize for not trusting you about him sooner. However, Kath? Why jump out early with a full-frontal assault...just let me explain myself first, and then go all-out bombardment if you feel you have to. We're really even though, you were right about Mac, and I was right about Kath.

All the mutineers, and you Gwath, nice handling of that last day. Not only sounding very sensible but innocent. With how many times Nogrod said you looked innocent, I was suspicious, not because of what I thought about Nogrod's role (actually towards the end, if you didn't know, I started thinking he was more innocent), but simply being suspicious because..."Yes Gwath, you are sounding very sensible at this time, would be the best time for a wolf..." but that was about it, because I agreed with what Nogrod was saying, you were just sounding innocent!

I hope all me mates enjoyed it, this was a fun game to test some people, and see how we all really play. I'm going to need to slowly change what I do, or Mith, Lommy, Rikae...everyone will be able to figure me out, well I guess I could be ok still fooling Nogrod, as I doubt he ever will.

Brinn first, I want to say I am very very angry...how could you put your crew through something like this! Do you have any idea how nerve-racking this was! And the whole time you could sit back, knowing all the roles just laughing at the interactions...it afterall is just a game, but yeesh it was like walking around in a room, where you know there is broken glass everywhere, but you're blindfolded! Alright, so I loved it, and the results weren't as bad as I was secretly thinking the entire time, plus I did much better than I thought I really did, which makes me really happy. Plus being cannon fodder, and all the narrations were a joy.

I had to suspect someone, didn't I?

We knew that Gwath was going to leave for some time, and we absolutely didn't expect Brinn not to modfire him. The plan was therefore to spare him from the mod and get him lynched or hunter-killed. I voted him twice and he narrowly got away just because the innocents liked him so much.

We basically followed the suggestion Nogrod made. We killed good players who we expected nobody would listen to if they were dead and couldn't vote anymore (Greenie, Eomer, Inziladun). Getting the seer in Night 2 was pure chance. We chose Rikae because we thought the chances of her picking Kath or me were reasonable and if she chose Gwath - then so be it. I think the missed kill should be explained by Kath, though it was my mistake, too, by not checking in before the Day started (and thus missing Brinn's complaint about the lack of a kill). Now I see that we would indeed have lost Gwath (and the game!) if we hadn't missed the kill. I changed the general strategy and killed Boro because, as he has guessed already, he was least likely to believe me the day after my ranger-claim.


A lot of kudos to Brinn! For a great game, great narrations, and a lot of effort to keep the game balanced all the time.

Kudos and curses to Lommy! Expect to be killed very early the next time I'm a wolf.
