Great game everybody!

I'm surprised I won. My previous playing time was equal to three days across two games. Now it's quadrupled!

And imagine my delight when the two innocents had voted for each other! I almost felt like typing a you-fools-I-was-the-wolf-the-whole-time speech.

And great modding, Holby. I especially liked the epilogue.

Thanks go to my fellow werewolves. I couldn't have done it without you!

Wow I actually did vote for a Wolf(on Day 2 I believe). That was very well played Alcarillo!

I will admit that wasn't my best performance in a WW game I've ever had. Hopefully my next game will be better.

I kept saying to myself "Alright, now I need to convince SPM that I'm innocent without shifting suspicion to...erm...yeah...right...not a wolf..." What a useless paranoia to have picked up...

Still though, lasted longer than the last time I was innocent...that's worth something.


Good Job all, I enjoyed watching the confusion, the plot-twists (this was the first time, to my knowledge, ever that anyone refuted a player's claim to be gifted, and look where it led), and the suspense. (You do write very good deaths Holby).

Once again, Excellently Played...an exceedingly entertaining game.

So thats where it came from. Ya know what Pebbly Shebbly, those pans really hurt, and its all because of your sig.

I personnaly think that Holby's deaths were some of the best I've ever read, they were suspenseful and very original. Good job Holby!

Yeah, though it is just asking to be mis-used like that, and I'm glad Holby put it to good use. Most especially because she managed to use both the English and Spanish meanings (since I mean for it to be the Spanish word for bread)...it's like an amazingly bad pun in your death, and it's bilingual which makes it even better...


Incidently, since I'm finally in a position to request this, Could the Wolves please explain why they killed who they killed when they killed them? I've been given a brief run-down of my death but more details on all of them would be nice.

Many Thanks.

And you wondered why we killed you?

Well played everyone, especially my dear wolf Alcarillo. Dear Eru, I was nervous the last day, but you played magnificently and eased my strained heart.

Well Shelob you know why we killed you, put I'll just put it out in the open for everyone else.

You're a logical thinker, you insist you don't think like SPM, but I still think you do, at the very least you're smart and have been successful in past werewolf games. Plus you've been a very succesful wolf and would most likely catch any of our devious plots. I think I confused Eomer and Alcarillo because they were both for killing Shelob and I knew, that at least Perky and Marcolie had knowledge about us being friends outside of BD, so I figured it would bring suspicion on me. And when I told them as much, they assured me that if I didn't want to kill my friend they completely understood, but of course that was completely opposite of my meaning, I quite wanted to see Holby's write-up for a dear friend of mine. I daresay many people would agree that it would be quite enjoyable for them to see the death of their friend.

Cailin was our next kill correct? Eomer had mentioned her as the seer and there were distinct advantages to killing her.
1) It seemed likely she was the seer.
2) Her and SPM seemed a little to chummy for my liking. It seemed to me, that Cailin could do no wrong in SPM's eyes (probably because he realised that she was the seer.) I've realised that I have strong urges to kill people that seem to close to Saucepan, because that generally means either he's spotted something that I haven't and they are gifted, or they are wolves trying to rally around him. In this game I knew who the wolves were, so the latter was ruled out and Cailin seemed likely to be the seer.

After that I was dead, so I can't really offer my views on the subject, except to say that the rest of the wolves did a superb job in killing the right people at the right time.

And great game modding Holby!

why did the wearwolves kill Morcolie instead of Boromir two nights ago? I knew that he would be outspoken the next day, lke normal. I knew he would attack me and Formendacil. But I assumed wrongly that he would attack Formendacil. And we wanted to be nice because Marcolie asked to be killed.
