I know plenty of people considered me somewhat suspicious for the longest time for being "aggressive" day one; it sort of amused me. What part of the aggressiveness got people so riled up, so to speak, by the by?

It was weird, a bit annoying (look who's talking!) and something that evil wolves would do

Just FYI. Loslote was the wolf I knew about from the beginning. I figured any kind of hints First day would've been very risky. Had I been completely innocent, I would've voted for her.
I was thinking Boro was a wolf and was hesitant to vote for him, and mainly did so because Loslote said she was fine with either him or Nienna going. I ultimately voted for Boro over Nienna, because Nerwen had put the lastlynch vote on her, and I doubted anyone would vote for Loslote again to put her in the lead. I hadn't thought Nienna was particularly wolfie, so did not want my name attached to her lynch. xD

I must admit, I have to take most of the blame for that one. My packies backed me up, but I really pushed for the lynch.

Yeah, that last Day I decided to let what happened, happen. I broke my rule of "don't post unless you absolutely have to!!" a couple of times, but I think I did pretty good at shutting up. Didn't work, but hey, why not?

We seriously considered using our double-kill on Nerwen Night 2. I'm glad we didn't. Elfie was actually our candidate for Ranger - we didn't have any real idea, and when he said "I'll have to think through the implications" I jumped on it...I may have abused the double-kill thing wherein I don't waste the kill if I put both on one person, but why not, eh?

*bows*

And you all said you didn't think Shasta would saddle Boro with three newbie wolves. Well, he bascially did - I'd never been a proper wolf, either.

The swearing. None of it would have been all that offensive if you hadn't sworn - but you did, and all us wolves couldn't have been happier. We were sure you'd go on offending everyone and getting yourself killed - and then you go and turn out smart.

EDIT: xed with Izzy. *snuggles a dear little cobbler*

So most of it was me being uh... not used to the site. XD Nice to know. <_<

Part of me wonders had you been around if you'd been able to turn the decision to ask that you be hunted around.

I was around. I chose not to post. I figured that if I fought being hunted, I'd be even more likely to be hunted, while if I was silent, Mira would either a) not think of me as much (out of sight, out of mind) or b) decide to give me the benefit of the doubt because I wasn't around (it's happened before). Clearly it didn't work, but it was the best strategy I could think of.

Itsy bitsy edit a cos I forgot to say before: Thank you Shasta for a lovely (and VERY well balanced!) game.

And I cracked up every time *anyone* said they trusted me. I was surprised no one caught on when all my posts were so happy.

Well done Mr. Shasta. Bravo game. And good hunting Mira.

I was quite alright with having 3 new wolfpups, my biggest regret was not being able to PM with them at all on Night 0. I was consumed with work and I wind up getting back to my PM box being full and one from Shasta saying "You're a wolf. Sorry, you've got a host of cublings."

I thought Day 1 looked pretty well for us...I'm glad Lottie caught on to what I was doing by voting for her and went with it. That was probably the thing we did that worked the best. I wanted it to look like a bandwagon so the counter "save Lottie wagon" would start, and with Nerwen having dreamt of me already, that actually worked in our favor more. Then going into the next night, I just said it worked, people were trusting Lottie, I was dead meat, so she shouldn't be afraid to attack me. And I would try to throw suspicion elsewhere.

I forgot McCaber was playing until the last few hours I had, and decided to really go after him, because my ultimate future plan was...if I could just survive one more day, I would tell the pack we needed to use the additional kill and one of them being Nerwen. But alas, the early reveal for Nerwen was perfect timing.

And Blind since I didn't get to tell you, I appreciated you defending me the day I was killed. My calling you a wolf, and pointing out how you flopped quickly, I was hoping when I died everyone would think I was trying for a "lynch the easy newbiew" scheme. But once I saw Nerwen say she was going to dream of you next, there was no hope. Sorry, just try to be a little more subtle next wolf-stint and you'll be fine.

Anytime the cobbler dies Night 1, village would be safe to lynch me, because...yeah I don't know how that keeps happening. Sorry Izzy and Shasta.
