Tol-in-Gaurhoth LXVIII: A Full Moon Over Innsmouth

[The Saucepan Man]

I have stayed quiet 'til now, as I adhere to the seemingly rather old-fashioned view that dead men (and wolves) tell no tales, but ... ahem ... so much for my so-called 'awesomeness', eh?

Well, not the finest hour for the Wolf team, it has to be said. I was actually rather relieved to be sent for an early shower. I had forgotten how time intensive WW games can be, particularly as a Wolf, and was concerned that I might not have enough time to contribute as much as I would have liked. It was time constraints which led me to my admittedly over-hyped case against Loslote. I only had the remaining 30 minutes of my lunch hour to catch up on all the posts and make my last contribution of the Day and was desparately trying to transition from a 'no suspects' status to having a reasonably justified vote. I still maintain that there was the basis for a reasonable Day 1 case against Loslote, but I guess I just bashed it out too quickly and went a bit over the top.

Sorry, Lari and Morsul, for the early exit. Ultimately, we were rather unlucky. After I was lynched, I still thought that we were in with a decent chance, as there was scope to limit Pitchwife to one more dream at the most and I thought that at least one of you was in with a reasonable chance of escaping serious suspicion for some time. However, the events of Day 2 rather stymied that and we were always on the back foot (paw) from that Day on. Morsul's reveal was, for me, a classic *facepalm* moment. Did you guys plan that? I knew that Morsul could survive for a while under the guide of the Agent, especially after wilwa's antics, but it was only a matter of time before he was found out.

For me, the stars of this game were the Gifteds. Inspired dreaming from Pitchwife (I now think of him as 'Pitchfork', after his key role in getting me lynched). And Pitchie, you were absolutely right to reveal. I spotted you as the Dreamer the moment that you made your 'get serious' post and voted for me. Wonderful bluffing from Hakon too and, as matters turned out, your decision to reveal was a really good one too. So well done, Gifteds. Great play!

Many thanks too to McCaber (or is it MacCabre from now on?). A wonderful theme and some nicely done narrations. Its a long while since I read any Lovecraft (although I have a few HPL themed board games) and this has whetted my appetite again.

Oh and, finally, I guess that I can at last join the noble order of the Fenris. Can someone please now explain to me what it all means ... ?
