Mandos Thread: DEAD ONLY! - WW LXXXVI

[Loslote]

I only just got the chance to get on and see this. I was pretty sure we'd lose and all, but the wolves...

Well played, guys. Well played.

And snuggles to Nog... ups

I said something nasty to you when you fell into the phantom's trap, but otherwise we were cheering for you. Except for Nog. He cross-posted with your reveal (if you can say so when the posts are in different threads), the title of his post being "Anguirel is a wolf."

I mean, I would have liked to believe him because he behaved more innocently after his death, but when you see things like that you can't help wondering...

Yes!

Exactly. Shasta and I had some things planned out, such as a way to make Lommy give herself away, but we couldn't really do anything because he died so early. I also doubt any information sending thing would have been possible if there hadn't been two known innocents in Mandos so early - and actually it might have been better that way. In the end the village didn't get much out of it while we dead did have strong opinions on the players.

YAY for the evil team! *hugs Greenie, Nerwen, Glirdan, Legate and even phantom* You wolves were just brilliant, and phantom, hats off for the trick.

I loved the game, thanks Rikae and Mac! The concept was great, and I'm happy you gave me the chance to be a cobbler (which is a role I never had before).

Anyway, I realised cobblering really isn't my cup of tea after all. Okay, I can cause confusion, keep people talking about silly stuff, argue with people (although I never got to my planned "fight with Agan" part) and get lynched, but that's it. I was so unhappy to find out Legate had been a cobbler - I had such high hopes for the "last" cobbler because I wanted them to counter-reveal after the "real" seer reveal. I seriously kicked myself for not making a seer reveal just after dying, but luckily it was unnecessary. Also, I had very little idea who were the wolves (I was suspecting Nerwen and Greenie to be ones but I also though there'd be wolves among Sally/Lottie/maybe even Nessa).

But most of all, I felt very handicapped most of the time. When I was dead, I wasn't of much use because whatever I tried to say, Agan, Shasta and Fea started barking at me. It's no fun being a dead cobbler among raging dead innocents. Also, I realised cobbler is a role which requires being around at the DL (would've loved to cause some double-lynches!) which was impossible for me because it was 6am Finnish time. And I have to admit - I don't have the heart to be a cobbler. If there's anything more difficult for me in a ww game than following the thread blindly and rooting for the evil side, I don't what it is. I'm too much of a goodie at heart. I literally kept kicking myself for suspecting people who actually looked wolvish and bringing up points which could've been useful for the village. So, it was a wonderful experience but now I know I'm just too nice to be a cobbler (except in RL games, that's totally different!)

Also, Agan was right - cobbler really isn't a good role for someone with an ego. I don't think I have much of one, but I did feel a prickle of humiliation for being intentionally stupid/silly so much of the time.

I would be very interested in a re-round. Only, I think the dead should be somehow motivated to talk more. I think talking both Day and Night was kind of tiresome, I would've concentrated better if I hadn't had to be around all the time. Also, I think we discovered trying to deliver messages is pretty useless, haha.

It was great to play with you all, thanks everybody! I was especially to play with Mith and Ang again after such a looong time, but truly, thanks everybody. (And my especial condolences to Nogrod and Elra, I feel so bad for you!) I shall remember this game.

I just crashed into this post from the Dead thread...

But that remains to be seen.

One possibility is Greenie. She has played low profile, is intelligent enough to lay low and has had no chance to react to the latest developements... Although the problem is that I think Ang "revealed" before she went away. Thus making it a bit unbelievable.

Glirdan might be a better choice: he has been overtly active, protecting and helpful as well and voted "right" - and if I'm not wrong (haven't checked) has been away long enough to have missed the reveal? Now that should have to be checked actually...

Hard to say.

So am I speculating about the wolves here, hitting the nail into to the head?

Nope.

I'm speculating who could be the real ranger if Anguirel is faking... That kind of sums my game in one post...

[Mänwe]

Congratulations wolves and thanks to the mods for such a unique game!

[Galadriel55]

That was a really interesting game, Rikae! (even though time only allowed me to skim through it )

Not to worry, Nog - I believed you from Night2!

Phantom - that was amazing! I thought you were a wolf or a gifted.

And I didn't suspect any of the wolvsies!
