Perhaps we should change the name of the role of Cobbler to Jester

I must say it has been a real joy following this game, nothing was missing, it had it all. The kind of game I really want to be in. *kicking my self for not signing up*

The wolfs had me completely fooled, great job !

Allthough the villagers did not win most of you played a good game.

Congratulations to the werewolves.

It was certainly a...strange game on a number of levels.

I realise that it was churlish of me to have complained about the wolves getting the cursed villager....once I had decided to give the wolves a sporting chance, then I should really have accepted the outcome of that decision with more grace.

But I did feel bad for people like Firefoot and wilwa (and of course Eonwe ) who had been going on about lynching tar-ancalime for ages... my belief in her innocence shows me up to be as goosish as my flock.

And as for Ang: well, I think you're going to be getting lynched first night in any game you play from now on, my dear. You're a blooming liability....

Thanks to everyone for a great if often bewildering game, and well done spawn, most excellent deaths, much appreciated my own.

I feel I must apologize and explain. So first, to everyone, I apologize for my mistake, but especially to the wolves. I'm glad you guys still won, I'd feel even worse if you had ended up losing. Also apologies to dancing spawn, who was kind enough to let me have the back-up mod spot.

Here's what I was thinking. I know that by the original rules, wolves win if they have an equal or greater number than the villagers. This is because they could vote to at least a tie each day and then get ahead in the night, so when they reach that point, they are assured a victory.

But with the addition of the Hunter, that changes. With who we had left, I saw a way that the villagers coulds still win. I figured that Anguirel and Lalaith would both vote for tar, as they did. And I kind of thought that the wolves would also vote together. If both Eonwe and tar voted for Lalaith, as they did, then tar and Lalaith would be lynched. By the rules, the Hunter gets to kill if they are lynched. Her only two choices were Anguirel, which would have left Eonwe for the wolf victory, and Eonwe, leaving Anguirel for the villager win(or Jester Wins! ).

So, from what I saw, the outcome was still up in the air. Normally, I wouldn't have just gone with what I thought, as it wasn't my game, but dancing spawn was already gone. So I had to make the call, and I guess I made the wrong one. So, again, I apologize.

On another note, that was a great game! Anguirel, I was beginning to wonder if you were hoping to be the Cursed and get transformed. You were acting very Cobblerish.

tar, that was some great wolvery. You had everyone convinced you were innocent.

Wayne, I'm really glad you got your win.

Ah, it was a most enjoyable game. Thanks to everyone and congrats to the wolves.

But, why, oh why, Ang, did you have to do that?

My picks were

Night 1: Ang
This was an almost random choice from the villagers I thought were most likely innocent. Almost, I say, because I knew that Ang was itching for me to be a wolf, so if he lead a charge against me on day 2, I wanted the satisfaction of rubbing in that I'd guarded him.
Night 2: lmp
This was a hard choice for me. For most of the night I was debating guarding lmp or Firefoot. I finally decided on lmp on the basis of the Seer debate, just in case the wolves chose to attack on the chance that he was a Seer in the open.
Night 3: wilwa
An obvious choice, though I wish I had been guarded by someone that night.

Just out of curiosity, did anyone happen to spot my anagrams?
