And well done, Boro! I was wavering about your being the Cobbler because you didn't seem that enthusiastic about helping Pitch. But your help in flushing out the Hunter was very much appreciated.

nogorozilwe (noun) the art/skill of nogoroziluing
nogorozilev (adjective), nogorozileve (adverb) having/displaying/acting with nogorozilwe
nogorozilevadun (agental noun) someone who nogorozilus, a nogorozilev person

In other words, kudos wolves and cobbler! *bows down low* I still can't quite believe that you owned this village without so much as a scratch on a single one of you, but you were obviously beyond us - a nightmare pack! I had my doubts about Zil, but Eönwë flew safely under my caribou, and Boro looked good to me all the time; as for Nog:

D1
Pitchie's guts: Don't like Nog. He looks fishy.
Pitchie's brain: You know, you may have a point. I don't trust him either.
Pitchie's guts: Yep. He's a wolf, I tell you. - Hey, what are you doing voting Shasta?
D2
Pitchie's guts: So what about Nog?
Pitchie's brain: Hm, I don't know. He does behave like an innocent there.
Pitchie's guts (somewhere in the distance): ...hesawolfhesawolfhesawolf...
Pitchie's brain: Nah, I don't think so. Shut up.
[...]
D5
Nog: *flips wolf*
Pitchie's brain: *headdesks*
Pitchie's guts (sulking): When will you ever start listening to me?

Worst thing is, I think we've been through this before...

Shasta, I'm awfully sorry your first game as a Seer was cut short like this by what was indeed one stupid bandwagon - and that in a game where we would really have needed a psychic Seer! So in a sense, I guess we sort of deserved what we got. (Although I must say being lynched as a dreamed wolf when I was actually innocent wasn't exactly a gas either...)

wilwa, bravely fought and hunted! When I saw your counter-reveal, I just knew you had to be the true Hunter, you were so genuinely frustrated (and the way you kept alluding to McCaber's Innsmouth game, there was no way you'd make that mistake a second time as a baddie). And nice idea to hint at your pick like like that, I must remember that for when I get to be the Hunter sometime.

Glirdan, that was a splendid ranger save in Night One - a pity you got no chance to repeat it.

Legate, when you were lynched and turned out innocent I felt so rotten for repaying your trust in my innocence with suspicion; wish we could have joined forces against those dratted wolves and worked together ! (On the other hand, next time I'm a wolf and you're not, I'll have to kill you ASAP - you obviously read me too well!)

Greenie and Lottie, I'll second Nog's words about building trust. Innocents not trusting each other enough may have been one of our biggest handicaps in this game.

Nerwen, you were sharp and insightful as usual, glad we had you on our side!

skip, I had a hunch you might be innocent on D2, but that fake reveal and following un-reveal confused me as much as it did the living. Such tends to be a short cut to the gallows - ask wilwa, she can tell you all about it!

Ozzy, never mind losing, that was a great first game indeed! You fit into this loony crowd like you've been here for ages, down to the spirit of dying with a song on your lips! Hope we've got you hooked and I get to play with you again.

Lommy, thanks for your reliable modding and lovely narrations, it was a fun game, even if unlucky for us innocents - but thanks to Nog's spilling, we now know who to blame for that! *tries to glower at Agan, but can't keep it up*

Boro: I really thought I screwed up massively after we killed Glirdan-ranger and you pointed it out. Your answer to my improvised explanation was something along the lines "Enough for me on that subject". That was a place I thought you might be the cobbler. I had kind of forgotten that, but when it came down to finding our cobbler for real, your quickness to point that out worried me a bit: like you had the nerves to keep it quiet and then throwing us those cobbler hints yesterDay to just unleash everything toDay! Playing the "all or nothing" as you claimed when voting Lottie...

PS. To those who don't remember, I'm referring to my first post of that Day when I added there that it's intersting how the wolves went to Glirdy and not after the "innocent Nerwen"...

Of course we knew why we went after him, he was the ranger, and it was quite easy to see with our knowledge. But I tried to be as one with no clue hoping someone else would come up with the explanation... I was in a hurry as the TV-show was starting and I only added it when I almost had submitted the reply already... Never make last second additions to your posts! (ww-handbook, rule 5; §17)

Could I point out that I KNEW IT? I can? Yay. But yeah, I guessed Boro for cobbler end of yesterDay. This consoles me somewhat, as, other than you and Steve, I totally flubbed with wolf-hunting this game.

++Skip

Again, because I still don't know what he was doing yesterDay.
