Holbytlass has just left Hobbiton.
I had asked Eomer in the event of my death, if he would put something in about my eyes, that could be my signature death. That's fine, I had forgotten it myself. The irony of this is that I totally freak out in real-life about any sort of eye-injury. I love to watch operations except anything to do with eyes.

I was reading the posts after Firefoot's save of Fordim. Someone had mentioned both scenarios, so that's what saved me. I know I would have put in all our names!
I'm glad you didn't P.M. to let us know. It was kinda of fun thinking and wondering and hoping. After awhile though, it's obvious we didn't get the cursed because Fordim had not contacted us. And it would have been quite funny to see the turn of events had I made that fatal blunder.

Another thing, we didn't kill TGWBS to cast suspicion on Forim. He just happened to be the first one killed who wasn't a major accuser or suspicious person.

When Fordim had been saved by Firefoot that night, I forgot about the guardian. I almost P.M.'ed him welcoming him to our pack!!
Yes, one of the benefits of being an innocent (and entirely ordinary) Villager is that you don't have to be so careful what you say. Most of the time, I just posted my thoughts and opinions honestly and openly (although, given the direction in which they took me, they were what led to me being a major suspect for most of the time that I was playing).

Of course, a disadvantage of being an innocent Villager is that you read suspicious motives in everything that is said or done ...

I guess that the beauty of games like this, and especially of this particular game, is that you get to watch brilliant minds at work, analysing everything with the clarity of reason and common sense and coming to the wrong conclusion.

Many of you were unintentionally hilarious in your misplaced certainty.

Especially Kuruharan.

Yes yes it's so easy to laugh at us blind villagers accuse each other while you have omnipotence in the situation. Reading some non-players say "Oh I have my thoughts" or "I know who I would be going for" I just want to scream "AHHHHHH!!!" It's so much more difficult when you're in the game and trying to make sense of anything let alone everything said. I think it's analogous to a game show--so easy for the viewers at home but difficult when you're actually up on stage.

I can talk the talk but........

One vivid memory I have is gasping in horror when I realised that Evisse was going to be killed.

You play long enough and it will happen to you. The villagers from this time will all be watching you now.

You weren't the only one.

In the future, now that you and I have proved that one can go about willy-nilly hanging innocents left and right and get away with it, everyone is going to have to be watching for werewolves trying to pull that trick.
