That was one of the coolest villages I have seen! Even if innocents were vanishig left and right (or unable to post) we lynched only one innocent!

Sorry about that wolves, but we really did some good work...

And thanks to Inzil for some good modding; just a shame we couldn't see the new role in action!

You're welcome!

I had such a good scene mapped out for a duel wolf / Ranger death too.

I was really looking forward to seeing that, but I knew in my heart of hearts the likelihood of that was pretty slim. And then of course it doesn't help that the rnager couldn't protect herself.

Ha!

I'm back from my trip - almost a day later than I expected - and what do I see? THE VILLAGE WON!!!

Nice work, innocents!

I shall now flood the thread with my after-game comments.

~*~


First and foremost, <3 Zil for the wonderful game! It was a great way to start playing WW!

<3 Mith for being my fellow pack mate, and for listening to my ramblings every Night. Also, for saying this in one PM: “you are far better than me at this you clever things”. Love you back! ^.^ Also, D3: you’re tied with Nog, and you were the last to be voted. I’m sitting at my computer and freaking out. I’m thinking “NOOOO!!!! Not Mith! Why didn’t you wait just one more minute, then you would have lived for at least another Day!!! What am I going to do without you? Plus, I know Eomer is the Seer, and I really need to tell that to someone. Don’t leave me!!! If you’re lynched I’m going to be all alone! And there’s still Nilp’s vote. He’ll save you…” Then I see Zil’s post that the Day is over and that you are lynched. Me: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ”

<3 Lottie for being my dear fenrissed pack mate. Building all the controversy around me was a brilliant thing to do! (At the end of D1 I was thinking – what was Lottie doing? I’ll be next, because she emphasized how she didn’t want to vote me for no real reason!)

<3 Nilp for being the only person I said the complete truth about: your posts indeed slipped past my brain without leaving any recollection. On D2 I said that you didn’t post anything of content because your summaries and analyses didn’t register in my head! Also, for your analysis of my on D2 – you basically said “I see some fur growing here, and some over there… but she’s just a confused innocent”.

<3 Shasta whom I thought to be the Seer on N1. There was some suspicion of Lottie, but nothing really fatal. And then I saw your Lottie-lysis come out of nowhere – you didn’t even comment on her before that! I’m sorry to have murdered you on N1, but WW is WW.

<3 Lommy for being the most random D1 vote ever. I was trying fruitlessly to get attention away from Lottie. Also, for being impressed with my playing style. You don’t have to hit yourself after this: “Rather [Kit] than Eomer. (If she's innocent and he is not I'm going to hit somebody for making this statement, possibly myself.)”, because Eomer was also innocent.

<3 Legate for saying this: “Of the people, if I should name some who are standing out, Gal looks quite, well, reasonable. All her posts this far I like. Of course, she might be just a very well-polished Wolf.” And this: “Although of course, being thrown into your first game as a Wolf might force you to sharpen your skills to the most (I could talk - I had such an experience in my first game), so that might be what stands behind her surprisingly good reasoning this far... but then maybe it is also just stalking WW threads for too long (as I believe she had been doing)...” Now how could I possibly say that you’re evil after this? However, after you called me a “lazy wolf” on D3 I felt like killing you the next Night… :P (I seriously did, but for entirely different reasons.)

<3 Sally for letting me be “scarily supportive” of her. I can finally answer your question-statement: “if she's a wolf, it would a good (?) idea for her to try to establish a connection with me.” Maybe not very good for myself, but good for pack mates in the case that I get lynched.

<3 Knight Eomer for choosing right and seeing true and voting the Wolf55 since D1 (even though I will remember that next time we both play! XD). I’ve known you were the Seer since D3: you were a bit obvious then. Also, for making me think this the Night after: “God damn it! Now he doesn’t even need to dream!” :/ :d

<3 Kit for being the harassed victim of the D2 wagon. Sorry about your hat. ^.^

<3 Bom for providing us basis not only for D1, but for the entire game. Your absolutely innocent joke-post ultimately caused the death of many innocents. Just so you know.

<3 Greenie for always being so innocently reasonable that no matter how I turned it I couldn’t make you look evil.

<3 Nog for making me eat hats and socks after I pushed a Noggiewagon on D3. (Of course I knew what I’m doing! You have to sacrifice *something* if you want to win as a wolf. In my case, it was just a hat and a pair of socks :P).

<3 Nerwen for being the second person we wolves suspected of Seeing (you were actually Mith’s idea, so I give her the credit). I can now answer your question: “how likely is it that Wolflote would make a wolf-on-wolf attack on Wolf55 at that point and in that way?” Very likely. In fact, it’s a fact. By the way, it would be interesting to know who you protected.

Thank you for a great game, everyone!

PS: you know, it was quite a feeling reading Zil’s narrations and thinking “that was me…” :d

You know, in hindsight, I probably should have warned you, but you handled it well anyway. Actually, for a wolf-cub, you did very, very well!

Thank you! I'm not sure how well I handled it - I think I just didn't respond to any comments regarding your wolf-on-wolf-ishness.

I think next game that I play in I should be a cobbler!

On Night 2, much to my chagrin, I protected you, on the basis that if you and Sally were both innocent, your defence of her would look Seer-ish. What really annoys me is that this was a last minute switch– from Shasta! (Yes, the weird Ranger-rules missed coming into play on Night One by that much!). On Night 3 I protected Legate.

Galadriel, I was so unhappy at that point I really did nearly vote for myself but as I said I had a duty to you to say alive. Ironically I hadn't looked at the what happens in event of a tie but I thought Sally would miss the vote again. I held off as long as I could but the clocks must ahve been out of whack. I was sure Eomer was the Seer and had I been you I would probably have killed him anyway. Most disconcertingly for me he always suspects me strongly the games when I am not a wolf and this time he left me alone. I am sorry in a way the Ranger thing didn't happen. It was an interesting idea Zil. And it isn't your fault but I am certainly going to follow Nilp's example and remember how this was if I am ever tempted to play again,

Thanks for the game, Zil, and of course all my fellow players too. I'm glad you managed Day4 without me too. Hats off Eomer, that was pretty! Have to agree with Nogrod that the village did very well in this won - the wolves played well too, but this time the village played better. Village victories make me happy.

I was sure about Eomer as well - but I'd never kill a Seer who voted me three times in a row!

Tough luck, Nerwen! To tell you the truth, I realised too late on N2 that Shasta was such an obvious target that he's most likely protected, and we needed to avoid the Ranger at all costs. I was sitting on needles since I sent the name in and until the narration.

I suppose you had to just hope I wasn't the seer, because killing me would surely have implicated you. Although you never quite know with villagers.

How could I hope that you weren't the Seer when I knew that you were one? I was waiting for that reveal on D4.

~~~

Well, for anyone interested, this is what has been going on at Night...

***DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO DIE OF BOREDOM***

The first WW-related PM was Zil’s one about the roles. I was fully expecting to be an ordo, and then I read: “Congratulations! You are one of the wolves”. I think: Oh bother.

N1 was spent telling each other what inadequate wolves we all are. The best Night, I assure you.

My first words on N2: “What have I said? What have I done? Whenever you open your big mouth you put a foot in it!”. The rest of the Night was just deciding on Shasta – but considering Legate – and me rambling about a possible fake Seer reveal on D2, which thankfully I didn’t need. Me and Mith agreed that this will probably be the shortest WW game ever – lasting only 3 Days. (Well, we were ust one Day off.)

Hat’s off to Mith who suggested Nerwen (though as a Seer) on N3. Nog – you don’t realize how close you were to being killed instead of Nerwen! But that kill would be too risky for Mith, so that idea was discarded. Oh yeah, my first words:

Quote:
O MY GOD!!! I MADE IT THROUGH D2 WITHOUT HAVING TO DO A REVEAL!!!

Sorry about that. I was away for a couple hours and only came back now - expecting to find myself hanging off the very tree that is occupied by Kit! Almost every time someone analyses me they say "look how wolfish she is... but she's just a confused innocent". Especially Nilp's post. I was fully prepared for his vote following right after, but then he ends everything with ‘not gonna vote her’.”
I spent N4 all alone. By this time I knew Eomer was the Seer (his consistent voting, as well as this: “I'm finding it very hard in this game to focus on more than 2 or 3 players!” aka the wolves), but I couldn’t kill him, because then I’d be lynched right off the bat due to his votes. I was torn about who to kill because everything would make me look bad. I thought that Nog would be such an obvious choice that someone will think that it would be absurd for me to kill him. Well, I was wrong. >.<

Also Nerwen was less likely to be a lynch candidate and with no chance of getting her killed during the day she would have been a priority night kill even without the gifted hint. Far too too dangerous on the side of the angels.
