My, my, that was a very fantastic final narration. Great game Lommy!
 I can't think of all my picks off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure I never hunted a wolf.  You boys definitely deserved that victory, no matter how much it saddens me that I never got to take one of you down.

Wilwa is completely justified to yell and throw things at me. Glirdan, you are not because I had no part in your death!
 Good job to all my wonderful wolvsies, and Moddess for making this a fun game. Even if it was a slaughter, there were lots of interesting days because of the "characters" each one of us can be.

Mwa Ha ha
Whew, what a game! I was most impressed with my pack. I thought we were quite a fearsome combination, with a good mix of personalities. I wasn't expecting to get a chance of being a wolf again so quickly after Fea and Nienna's rep game disaster. I was glad for a chance to atone for my lamentable performance there.
Borobbler was excellent. He was innocent-looking enough that we considered killing him on more than one occasion. Good thing common sense prevailed. As skip said, we had some definite lucky breaks, starting with Shasta's demise Day 1. That has to be one of the strangest bandwagons I've seen. We had no clue he was the Seer. I just saw an opportunity to lynch an innocent. Choosing Glirdan was more clear-cut. We thought there was no way he could have had such inside knowledge of who the Ranger might have protected and been a ordo. And skip: thanks! To think I wanted to kill you the Night after you threatened me! Thanks Lommy, for a simple, fun, and well modded game. Quote:

What a disastrous game for the innocent side!
I could not believe all the tough breaks we got! And the individual and collective screw-ups! The wolves never had to take any chances whatsoever, (at least not during the Days) they could just sit back and watch us destroy ourselves. Sorry for my fake-reveal hey! I looked at my hand, saw that is was unplayable and decided to go all in with a daring bluff. And in ww much like in poker or life, you are judged by the consequences of your actions, and they were not good. Not good at all.  With the knowledge who the wolves were I highly doubt it would've made any difference to the outcome had I just died quietly on Day 3 though. We were so screwed!

Oh the sweetnes of evil destiny!
My first reaction to the PM by Lommy saying I was a wolf was more or less "bugger... not yet again!". I plain hate being a wolf in a game with a seer on board as I have been dreamt a wolf way too many times - a way too early - and getting the seer down has become to me kind of chains that force everything I do as a wolf into that desperate fight of either finding the seer on D1 or 2 or then losing. And I don't like it as it's not so much playing the game but playing a kind of hit or miss for a few Days. So when I learned Shasta had been the seer my interest to this game sky-rocketed! Finally a game I could really play! And what a team we had! Kudos Zil & Steve! It was so much fun to plot with you - even if Steve's quota was exceeded more often than not... Hey man, when you're a wolf with passionate players they do send you ten PM's aNight! Very good Boro! I thought you were acting a bit erratically in the beginning of the game - and your quick withdrawal from suspecting me I quoted earlier was a good thing. And you didn't vote for the "obvious wolf" Skip yesterDay. That made me positive you were our cobbler and we didn't kill you - even if you were quite high in our agenda earlier the Night. wilwa: I just love you (likeI said before) and am actually a bit sorry as I can see your frustration! To defend myself, I'd have to say that I thought Skip might be the real hunter willing to avoid lynching and thus the possibility of taking an innocent with him (and threathening Zil-wolf, oops...). So I just had to act like a reasonable ordo when the milk has been already spilled... Glirdan: your doom was your passion to clear Nerwen. It didn't take long for Zil and me to read from the thread afterwards you were taking a strong side defending the scenario that was true, that it was actually you who protected her... You made yourself an easy target. Shasta: Like some said already in-game, that was the most stupid bandwaggon there ever has been on D1. And what's the best part of it, it was driven by innocents! Zil gave you the second vote, yeah, but that only made it 2-1-1, I gave you the no more meaningful coup de grâce in the end... And God were we happy with that! And so sorry for your first time as the seer. But tell us, did you dream of Nerwen? Or someone else? Skip: we do owe you for this! You made yourself so incredibly wolfy with your trick we could just lay back and watch it (okay, I had to push it a little at some point that it would only make sense for a SKippywolf to pull that, but anyway). I can actually see your train of thought and it is witty and an understandable one, but in this game it was doomed. And I loved your last words stating that me and Steve are the last remaining ordos... Ozban: that was a great performance for a first-timer - and I hope you remember the way you died in your first game! *smilie here* At some points you were maybe making a bit odd comments; like that one trusting Steve for his last minute defence of Shasta he knew was innocent, of course - or that questioning of how hairy do you look like yesterDay... In fact those (and the fact that you supported narrowing the lynch down yesterDay to Greenie and Lottie by agreeing with Skip's maths why to do so) made me think you'd be our second best shot for the cobbler and thus our unwillingness to kill you last Night! Greenie and Lottie: you managed to build trust there and it is not a common achievement. And that was the reason Greenie had to go as we still had to consider the possibility we hit the cobbler with our Night-kill: two innocents trusting each other just would not do if we had to go on fighting for the last lynch. And as Lottie had been suspected that much it was clear Greenie would be killed (just think of a father sending a message to his daughter to kill her sister... *a rolleyes here*) Pitchie and Legate: You looked reasonable and confident and I was so happy others wished to do away with you without us needing to forcibly drive it... although at some point I did actually think Leg might be the cobbler. You are tough guys to fight against so I was quite happy to see you gone, but had I been on the other side, I'd have weeped losing you guys! Nerwen: you were as scary as ever being on the other side... well, when I'm innocent and you're innocent I tend to be frightened with you as well. And when we missed killing you I was kind of thinking "oh my, bad karma again", but afterall it turned out fine for us as we thus mamaged to drive forth the ranger... *yet another smilie* And great thanks to Lommygoddess for a an entertaining and smooth game where the player could trust the moddess does her job - and writes great narrations (I liked the set-up and the last narration especially). And heh, thanks also to co-mod Aganzir who held her thumbs up to us baddies while the mod was caring more for the innocents! *the last smilie of this post*

Curiosty led me to read the narrations just now. I didn't think the game had ended when I first started reading. As each Night fell and each Day dawned, I could scarcely believe that the elves never caught a wolf. I guess that was some pretty sweet playing on the wolves' side.

AAAAAAARGH. I can't say I'm surprised, this game was such an epic, epic fail from the village's side. Kudos wolves, you did a great job though we certainly helped you quite a bit...
Shasta, I know I've promised to kill you before, but since you probably want to kill us all for being such morons I think we're squared now. Quote:
Anyway, thanks everyone for a good game, and to Lommy for modding!

No innocent could have drawn that alone. So it was no haphazard - or overconfidence - we did that. We did that exactly to bar that kind of ploys by a witty innocent!

 I think I should explain some points you brought up above. That thinga about trusting Steve was an bluff attempt, his defense of Shasta seemed somehow false to me and my exclamation of trust for him was just an attempt to make others think about it, and keep low profile in the process. And when I questioned about my hairyness, I had similar intentions, I felt I can die that night, so I wanted others to rewiew Zil's post on myself, because Zil was really suspected by me at that moment. Unfortunately I seemed to be the only one, so I did not try to lynch him. I thought I could not be succesful and it would draw too much undesired attention. And just a last remark. When I wrote, that we need to go all out in order to win, I meant it. And I really wrote truth, or what I considered it to be. But nobody followed my example. Thanks all for the game, especially Lommy-mod. I do like your narations. See you all around...

I was pretty sure Greenie was a wolf. Apart from that, completely in the dark, and obviously I was wrong about her too. Those last words were just a last desperate roll of the dice though, don't even remember what I hoped to achieve with them... Well, my first and best hope with the reveal was to get a wolf's life over mine on Day 3. Felt better and better about Legate, but still, he could've been a wolf and had he been one I think I'd look better the next Day. On the other hand, had I been lynched the village would go into Day 4 with a desperate situation on their hands. So I took a gamble. It didn't come off. On Day 4 my highest hope was to reveal properly and for the real hunter to remain hidden. Hopefully understand what I was going for, or if not, thinking me the cobbler and maybe hunting me but not risking the reveal for it. Then I'd be unlikely to get lynched (which I felt I was a great risk given how Day 3 went). Had this happened we could focus on others and have better chances of actually hitting a wolf. My second best scenario (though much less preferable) was that the real hunter would come out, and we'd have a known innocent. If that had to happen I hoped that it would be early that Day. I actually hoped, if not believed, that the innocent people would trust me, because to my mind, doing something like that really would have been stupid for a baddie given how the game had played out, both for a wolf and for a cobbler. They had no need to take a risk like that. I mean, why would a wolf, whose team was winning handsomely, expose himself like that? And likely putting himself up against the dangerous hunter (who'd likely hunt him) as the two lynch-alternatives? And I hoped, by the end of the Day, that by painting a target on myself the baddies would finally show their true colours. If we'd only be able to come into Day 5 with a fighting chance, the game could turn around. But it was a terribly risky plan... Did you, innocents, even consider that I might have been and ordo too?

I thought of the very thing you talked about Greenie. So before anything else during the "night" I decided if that happened and I saw like 5 wolf reveals...I was just going to pull a. Oh forget it...

(sidenote: sorry Glirdy, I was trying to decide how to draw you when Lommy let me know she was ready so I had to think of something quick. )"What. On. Earth. Is. That???" "Sunglasses, corset, and a tan. Does it ring a bell?" "Err... Boro?" "What's this one? A ball?" "Yeah, a special kind of ball. A small shiny ball." "I have no idea!" "Think of people's real names..." "Err?" "Stupid, it's a pearl!" (Greenie's name means pearl in Finnish) "That's easy. Loslote." "Is it... Ozban?" (He's a Warrior Butterfly, and he can only blame himself for talking interesting stuff when he's drunk.) "Umm... Who's that?" "See the pinky finger?" "Ah it's skip!" (For the record, all Swedish people are gay. This is fact.) "I'm guessing that's Galadriel which makes her Nerwen." "Legate." "Hahaha is that Pitchwife?" "Yes, he says 'Ei be ze Deutsch.'" Anyway good game everybody, it was fun following it. The best thing ever was Pitch's If it means I'm a wolf, then so was Hegel, though. :-----D
