Thumbs up

Hats off to Shasta the wolf! That was just absolutely fabulous!

And my god how effective the village was before he was left alone! (well then again, we didn't play the best game possible either, to be honest)

The problem was that she was openly convnced that me and Glirdy were wolves - as we were - but her reasons were flimsy indeed. So she had to be the seer and we were screwed. But we had to take her down to save Shasta being dreamt of as well. And then I could always try to make a fight for myself (even if we made a deal Shasta should not back away from getting me lynched).

Oh the irony, she told me today she had just come up with a totally random suspicion of me to look a bit odd as to save herself from the wolves' attention making herself a possible lynch-candidate later and so not woth Night-killing)...

So funnily the case I made for Greenie not having dreamt of me the next Day was actually exactly correct - even if I didn't know it myself back then. So you villagers were lucky not to listen to the words of actual wisdom and truth about the matter...

When I realised my chances of survival were pretty thin I started to build up as believable case against Shasta to make it look like I was really trying to get him lynched (happily a few of you helped me in that making him a possible lynch-candidate). That way I hoped I could add a little more credibility to his innocence. Maybe it was not totally in vain in the end?


Yeah. A fun game indeed! Thanks everyone!

And kudos to Wilwa! You did a great job! And finally got to narrate a whole game even if it looked pretty bad after the first few Days.

Okay, so once again, I say we vote Lottie out of the tribe!!

And I must apologize to everyone for my lack of participation on my last Day, but I had previous engagements that Day that I had completely forgotten about...which is terribly upsetting for me as Nog, Shasta and I had a plan to confuse the living crap out of you all

Anyways, good game to all, and especially great game to Shasta.

And of course, lovely modding by my bestie!! Lots of love Wilwa!!

PS: LOVED my death

Wow, well done Shasta, you managed to scrape a glorious victory for the wolf team even though the earliest Days didn't exactly promise a baddie victory!
Wilwa, thanks so much for modding, it was a great and eventful game, the best possible for playing after a while's absence from the 'Downs.

It wasn't totally random, I had this funny feeling that you might be a wolf. I just exaggerated it a bit. But generally my tactic was to avoid getting Night-killed by seeming somewhat suspicious all the time - not enough to get myself lynched, though. I managed that quite neatly, too, until I picked the wrong target for my flimsy accusations... And of course it was just my luck to dream of a wolf the Night I was killed. But at least I can congratulate myself on getting a wolf down, even if I never even dreamed of that particular one! Mwaha.

If you were a fruit-fly I'd just make a trap for you from fruits or wine, and if you were a regular fly I'd just roll a newspaper...

Woo, I can finally catch up!

First, wilwa, awesome game theme, I expected nothing less coming from you and just shamed that I had to die so early. This meant that after about Day 3, I couldn't keep up with it. Still, great fun.

Lottie that one day of PMs were just fabulous. It was interesting being the calm and tempered one of the two of us, because that is soooo usually not me. I thought a bit of balance was needed, and afterall we made a great team. We got locked onto Sally and Glirdan...so I was wrong about Greenie and you were wrong about Agan. Big deal.

Poor wolves had almost everything go against them at the beginning, even when getting the seer, it cost them Nogrod. Shasta turns Legate, next day he's dead. But alas, Shasta does it again! Well done.
