Many of you were unintentionally hilarious in your misplaced certainty.

Especially Kuruharan.

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

I was surprised that it ended up being the phantom and not me on Day 3.

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.

" I was surprised that it ended up being the phantom and not me on Day 3." ~SPM

I at least wanted to keep you alive as long as possible...the way I saw it after Evisse's death you were the only person standing between me and the gallows...so long as you were alive and suspicious why would anyone look to me, once you died and were proven innocent who would get the blame for our seer's death? Me. (Hence my seemingly random vote for Phantom)

That's a major reason why our simple strategy worked so well this time around. We wolves were so 'laid back' in a village of analitical over-thinking (I don't mean this in any sort of offensive manner).

Even if we had lost, I was very proud of us being able to stump the village for awhile.

Holbytlass · 06-15-2005, 10:52 AM

Good Grief!! See, see, it is just coincidence that we post at the same time!!

Indeed. I had no doubt that I was enrolled on a Werewolf-managed life-support programme. At least I knew that I was pretty safe during the Nights.

After we, Oddwen Shelob and I, decided to lay low it became apparent who to kill at night and who to leave to be hanged (hopefully) in the day.

Very true, and so was Fordim, Kuru, and The Phantom because of there very fierce suspicions and finger-pointing at each other.
Azalia was on this list because even though most didn't suspect her, we needed a little bit of padding in our 'quiet' group.

That left the 'middle' group of TORE, SoN, Mormegil, TGWBS and Firefoot to choose from. Shelob saved our p.m.'s, so she could find out specifically why we chose you, Mormegil, on that particular night.

And I'm sorry, Evisse, the others hanged you to soon to know which group you would have been in!

Edit: Just read Phantom's page....hostility afterwards,hm.
All I can say is that if the rules are changed to kill off quiet people, that's fine. I certainly will follow any rule to be able to play. I don't regret using that strategy and I still think it is a good one, even if we had lost. There is no rule saying we have to use one kind of strategy. What's going to happen if a future pack of wolves decide for all to be 'loud', will there be a 'limited number of posts' rule?
I'm sorry if people have played it elsewhere and differently and didn't think of various strategies until too late, but I will not apologize for the opportunity we took!

the guy who be short · 06-16-2005, 08:18 AM

Holbytlass, you claimed that I was killed because I was one of the "Middle-people." Did you conceive your loudmouth plan that early in the game, seeing as I was killed first?
I thought I was fairly loud, actually...

And don't worry, I won't be implementing any quietness rules next game at least. There will be a participation rule though (looks at Azaelia

).

Holbytlass · 06-16-2005, 08:41 AM

TGWBS: No, we didn't have our plan that early on. I suppose now I shouldn't necessarily put you on that list. I have misplaced my notes from the first days, I will have to get together with Oddwen and Shelob and write up why we killed a person when we did.

Shelob · 06-15-2005, 11:22 AM

Since I was just reminded of it I figured you guys might be interested in *dramatic music* The Origin Of Storyland

or if that's not working because you don't have flash or it's too slow or something you can just go look at the map

(In case your wondering I spent many of my summers there when I was younger...but never saw any werewolves)

Holbytlass · 06-15-2005, 02:50 PM

Here's another thing I remembered that people might get a kick out of.....
Bear in mind this not to discredit Eomer at all, he is a worthy mod. This is just to show how insane one may get when trying to figure things out on days of little sleep...

On the night that we killed mormegil, before we had even made a choice, I for one was so hoping to get the cursed villager. When I was looking at Eomer's latest list of who was left alive...I...um...I thought he was giving us a clue. I noticed that Eomer spelled mormegil with a lower case 'm' and everyone else's names with caplitals. Until I saw that's how mormegil did spell his name. Pathetic!!

Yes, I admit I was grasping at straws; and my dear wolf-friend Shelob pointed out I was grasping at invisible straws!!

mormegil · 06-15-2005, 02:57 PM

Yes may I ask why I did go that night? I thought that perhaps I cast sufficient suspicion on me to avoid you but apparently not.

Also about the lower case m...that is a sore spot with me and I wish it could be changed. I didn't realize that I had done so until after the registration process.

I am finished with my traditional post-game summary on my Random Thoughts page.
