“All is lost!” cried Saurreg.

Meanwhile, Eomer turned to Estel. “It’s time for you to go, old chap. Thank you for your help.”

“You mean I don’t even get to see him die first?” asked Estel in disappointment, indicating Saurreg.

Eomer thought for a moment. “Just for you,” he decided, “I’ll let you witness Saurreg’s death. Then you may die in what manner seems best to you.”

Estel smiled mirthlessly at this pronouncement. “Make it painful.”

With a victorious light in his eye, Eomer looked upon Saurreg. “Rest assured, once I kill you, I’ll do the same to every one of your sheep.”

Saurreg’s face paled. “Not me poor sheep!” And that was all the last words that Saurreg had time for before Eomer underwent a snarling transformation. Saurreg put up a futile fight, but Eomer easily overcame him. Within minutes, all that was left of Saurreg was scattered, bloody, shredded body parts.

And Eomer smiled a wolfish smile. Victory was nigh complete.

Estel’s purpose was finished. With a salute to the remaining wolf, he took off towards his house where he had affixed a noose to the eaves of the house. He climbed a step ladder and fastened the noose about his neck. “Never shall it be said that this village was wholly unable to hang people, though the honor shall go to me alone. Vengeance is mine!” With that, he kicked aside his ladder. His neck snapped, and all that was left of the unloving Loveland was a victorious werewolf and Estel’s dead body, swaying in the dusty wind.

WEREWOLVES WIN!

Great game, all!

I would like to know what you thought of me, Eomer. I know I dropped a few subtle hints during the course of the game, did you assume I was cobbler?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-07-2005, 01:42 PM

It was a really good game. Congrats to all.

Honest to goodness I had no idea you were the cobbler, Estel.

What kind of hints did you leave? Great strategy on your part, by the way.

I've been speaking to Firefoot about it, and it's kinda silly but here goes: I totally forgot that the cobbler would vote for himself. I had assumed that this last day would be a chaos of confusion and deception. But no, it worked out easily in the end.

I kept a little Diary of Wolvery. I'll be able to post it tomorrow, I imagine. It's a good read!

One thing though: I thought us wolves were really quite unlucky in parts of the game. First of all we had dancing spawn's uncanny suspicion of Kitanna which forced us to panic, and then Oromin had RL difficulties which prompted that huge change of strategy.

It was great fun wolving with Oro and Kit, The Shadow of Terror (hehe!

) and The Pretty Face. Hats off, all round.

Orominuialwen · 08-07-2005, 01:52 PM

I never guessed you were the cobbler either, Estel. I thought Lhuna was, until she died, and then I had no idea who it could be.

It's odd the way things worked out. It's looking definitely like I'll have to leave sometime next week, so it turns out I needn't have embarked on my suicidal strategy after all. Although I sure did confuse the heck out of all of you while I was doing it! I was afraid you were never going to kill me once I said I was the cobbler. At least it provided some cover for Eomer in that he could lead the charge against me. It was so funny to see him repeatedly saying things late in the game such as

Quote:

I am not a double-bluffing wolf!

when of course he was!

I doubt that he'll live past the first day ever again.

Firefoot · 08-07-2005, 02:00 PM

Oromin, I agree. Eomer's posts were full of stuff like that, even at the start: "I have no idea why anyone would want to kill so-and-so." It also made me laugh that the one game Eomer should have been lynched, he wasn't. Knowing everyone's role and watching the game play out has got to be one of the best things about modding, which I thought was a ton of fun. The hardest part was coming up with original deaths at the end... I was at the end of my rope.

So thanks to Bethberry for giving me the idea of scalping.

That death was inspired... though someone informed me it may have been a little over the top. (Perhaps "without a top" describes it better?

)

Great game, everyone.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-07-2005, 02:06 PM

When we were hiding well, and other people were commenting on what a good job the wolves were doing, I almost typed Yes, these wolves are doing rather magnificently, yes?

I quickly decided against that; it would have been far too obvious!

Hear that noise? It's the sound of Lhuna tearing her hair out.

By the way, those killings hurt me just as much as they hurt you. Honest.

To add: Thanks Holby. Yes, the irony was seeping through the keyboard.

The Only Real Estel · 08-07-2005, 02:03 PM

Well, part of that confusion was me refusing to admit that you were a wolf, Oromin.

I said you were either a wolf or the Cobbler, but since I knew I was really the Cobbler I knew you were a wolf...but I wanted to buy another day or two if I could. Confusing, huh? Well, I was the Cobbler!

Holbytlass · 08-07-2005, 02:05 PM

Wow! That was great entertainment, thanks players. And great modding, Firefoot.
Estel, the cobbler, well hoodda thunk?! That was a great strategy. Another big whammy, Eomer-the-wolf, oh the irony of people feeling sorry for him cause of his initial early-lynchings in other games and him turning out to be a wolf this time 'round. BTW, congratulations on finally having a special role, Eomer.
