Well, obviously now I have no choice.

Only one of us is a wolf, and I know it isn't me.

Nog, darling, it's up to you now. Please don't be evil, and please make the right decision.

Sorry to say this Sally but your analysis on Kath looks more like a brave effort than a convincing case... Well, it is plausible, but I'm not convinced it's probable

She even says she thought he could have been the seer. So, you know, not good.
But this comment of yours Sally begs the question, why would she - if she was a Wizard - would be pointing out at it?

Also the thing about Kath asking has Rikae quit, who's left etc. looks a bit weird to be honest, but once again, it would be even weirder if the questionner was a wizard...

And I do disagree with the idea she was "pushing for" the ranger to reveal. Looking at the people left playing it seems clear to me it would be nonsensical to think that "if I just suggest the ranger to do something s/he'll be pushed to do it". Like Nerwen or myself (or Rikae or you Sally) would suddenly do as she asks, and not have thought of that already before, or wished to make up your own mind about that.

And really Sally, you can't honestly compare what Brinn said about you to what she said about Rikae...


So with all the love

++ Sally

You seem to be the most logical choice.

And thumbs up the game ends in twenty minutes.

Well, bother.

I mean there is no going back now with no retractions...

So why didn't you tell us earlier? I mean ten minutes earlier would have been enough...

And wait a minute... what's that supposed to mean? I mean if you're the ranger you can't possibly know one of you is a wolf?

Now what is this mind-game?

My real regret is that I didn't live one more Day and have the chance to Night kill the ranger. Imagine it! The wolves killing each and every gifted during the Night, while the village never lynched a single wolf without the help of one of their packmates....

And still you lose.

And everyone who commented on my joke was indeed a wolf, even though that wasn't a serious thought in the first place!

Excellent.

It was a funny game. Well a bit weird even.

And I don't remember when it was the last time I survived to the end... Hooray!

The seventh night

Five trolls sat in front of their cave, huddled around the small fire. They did not need a huge bonfire anymore, as their numbers had grown really thin. As the night darkened, one by one, stars were popping up in the sky, but the trolls scarcely spoke to each other. The remaining Wizard was also among them, cloaked by his disguise, and his head filled with grim thoughts of his fellows, who had failed at their task, and with grim visions of the future.

Slowly, moon rose above the hills, casting its pale light over the sharp rocks, its light glistening on the mountain-streams so they looked like rivers of molten silver.

"The night's gettin' on," Rick finally broke the silence. "We still have one wizzer amongst us. We can't sleep during the day when he's still here."
"Don't sleep, then," said Nerve. "I never do."
Sal's eyes turned on her.
"What? Are you saying you don't sleep?" She seemed startled. "Great Elephants! Does that mean..."
"What?" Kat frowned. "Great what?"
"She said ah-laff-hunts," said Nog. "What's ah-laff-hunts, Sal?"

Sal shifted uncomfortably. "Eh, they are, um, things. Big things. Big animals."
"Big?" asked Rick. "How big?"
"Really big," Sal answered, still looking rather uncomfortable about the topic.
"Like really, really big?" asked Kat. "Do they make good supper?"
"Where do you find ay-luff-ants, anyway?" Nerve demanded. "Haven't seen an ay-luff-ant before, only normal ants, and they're pretty small."
"They live in the south," explained Sal, annoyed. But that remark made Rick jump up.
"South? And how'd you get south? There's too much sun there!"
"Um," Sal stammered, "over hill, er, under hill?"
"Over 'ill an' under 'ill?" Nog repeated. "That doesn't make any sense!"
"She's speaking in riddles!" Kat yelled. "She's a wizzer!"

But Sal was already on her feet.
"Stand back!" she screamed. "Stand back, or I'll curse you!"
"She's a wizzer!" Nerve shouted. "Get'er!" Though she did not seem to have the nerve to heed her own command. Rick stooped to pick up a rock, but it was as if some invisible force prevented her from using it.
"I will turn you all into spotted frogs! I will send snakes after you!" Sal spoke, as she retreated away from Rick and Nerve's side of the fire, holding a troll-club, which slowly started changing into an elaborately carven staff. Even Sal seemed to change, her body becaming smaller, her nose more pointy, her eyebrows longer, and beard sprouted from her chin.

"I will make your remaining hair fall off!" she continued, playing for time as she stepped to the side to put the fire between her(or him?)self and Kat. "I will make the sun come up and burn you all! I will-"

But at that moment, the thick figure of Nog jumped up from the shadows behind Sal, and popped a sack right over her(or his?) head and down to her(or his?) toes.

The trolls roared in triumph.

"We got us a wizzer, we got us a wizzer," Rick chanted, while Nerve helped Nog tying up the sack and Kat was putting more wood to the fire.

"This time, we do it proper," she disclaimed. "I say we first sit on the wizzer, since it worked first time..."
"...then mince 'im fine, since the food must be good..." Nog added.
"...then boil 'im, and, of course, eat 'im," Nerve finished.

So let us leave the trolls in the midst of their merry and well-deserved feast. We will only tell you the following: that night they went to sleep with their bellies full for the first time in a long time, and they were very happy.

Kudos to all the survivors - and all those who were killed during the ordeal!

As important as it is to be able to suspect people, this game once again showed how important it is to trust others as well. Well, especially if you trust the right people...

And hey, a great bow to the mods for the funny idea for the game and the sometimes just too hilarious narrations!


You Wizzers had some really tough start to this game then, right? I'd like to know what were your feelings there. And you seemed to just run rampant untill McCaber got caught by Lottie's beautiful individual pick - which seemed to have changed ev erything for good. Or?

Would like to hear how did you guys see it going...

First off, congats to the innocents, especially Nerwen, for saving Bane, and Lottie for inspired hunting.

And apologies to my mates. I knew on my last Night I wasn't going to have a lot of time for the game that phase, and when it seemed clear from the start that I was heavily suspected, my frustration was genuine. I worried that any hasty attempt to defend myself would not only be ineffective, but could help the village ferret out Sally. So I made my vote and just hoped for the best.

Once again, sorry for what looks to me like a failure on my part.

And this is very true - although in your case, I refrained from suspecting you too much because I thought you might be the ranger!

I just love this kind of conclusions which innocents make in their best effort, think something, think it wrong, but in the end it proves to be quite helpful anyway! Like when, what was it earlier? People thought Greenie might be the Seer, because she did not give her full reasons for her vote?

The whole killing Volo - killing Brinn randomly was also pretty interesting from our perspective, obviously...

Cab - I'd question your logic there, as of the four votes I got two were from packmates of which at least one was trying to save you

But, yeah. To be fair, my technique on the first day was to play like I play as an innocent - I just forgot that exactly this tends to happen when I'm such. As in, me leaving with something controversial (yes, I would've posted that as an innocent as well, I'm pretty sure, I don't like it when a lot of votes suddenly pile on one person) and then getting lynched without a chance to explain myself. Most of the people who have played with me before didn't suspect me much on it.

Then again, since of the four votes two were from wolves, and that last phrase kept Cab looking less evil for a lot of time... It seemed to be a useful bus. And it was fun, following the game knowing what exactly is going on, though of course I would've loved to be in the plotting (as this is the first game ever I've played as something else than an ordo... well, next time).

Thanks guys, even if I only got to play a little, it was very amusing to read through!
