That's actually why I abandoned that train of thought. You hadn't actually spoken of many people, so the lists were rather lopsided. You did a good job in my eyes; I was almost surprised to find you as a hero.

Eomer, I think I was the first to start looking into you (when you out of nowhere accused Wayne), but now it's obvious that I had you for the complete wrong reason! I'm still a little confused as to why you said I was 'wise for a wolf' then 'not as wise' as you had thought. Did mormegil already give the answer or is there another reason?

Spawn, I don't think I had ever seriously suspected you. I didn't think you innocent, but that was largely for everyone else's suspicion. Anyway, that was a great job. I just should have stuck with someone in the Nonna bandwagon.

morm, fantastic job getting everyone together at the end. We had a few absentees, but you pulled it off. I enjoyed playing with you.

Menel, I see you have a new signature (thank you!), I really was wondering if you were just trying to copy my ideas. I guess it was just coincidence, right?

Formendacil, great, great job. I don't think I've ever been so relieved in my life. If you hadn't dreamed of me, I'm sure that morm would have had me dead that Night. It was really nice to know that I could trust him and that he could trust me. Rather a freeing feeling, in my mind at least.

Anguirel, words can't express. This was a great game. I'm almost sad to say it falls just shy of being number one. I doubt that any game will be able to outdo my Beorning role in WW8. Anyway, that was a spectacular twist, switching wolves and villagers, and a whole lot of fun.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Well, Gurthang, you guessed my secret. Wise.

But then you apologised to Spawn because 'that's the way the cookie crumbles' and she had to die. I voted for Wayne in the hope that Spawn and I could die side-by-side! So it appeared you thought Wayne was my ally. Not wise. (If I'm wrong here then apologies; and 'very wise' you remain. )

Great job all round by the wolves. Very efficient.

It was quite a funny game. In the end it was a veritable slaughter, but I think we Heroes only made one poor decision: that being attacking Meneltarmacil when we should have guessed he would be protected. Truly, Eru does not will the Werewolves to be destroyed yet!

[Gurthang]

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I was actually more sure Wayne was a hero than I was of you!

So, as it turns out, no matter who morm would have picked, we would have put up a hero! Man it's good to know there wasn't a wrong answer.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'm relieved that no-one has yet pointed out a way I could have escaped capture. To be honest, I was kind of expecting Saucepan Man or some other clever person to come in and say "Why didn't you just do this..."

There was no way out, right?

With the Lord Sauron orchestrating your demise, how could there have been?

Seriously, I had WAY too much fun coming out in the open with that post... way too much fun. So kudos, kudos, kudos, to Anguirel for giving me the opportunity to be the Dark Lord.

My strategym such as it was, was to get a list of "proven innocents (or proven Heroes) and present them to the village after four dreams or so. Had I been in apparent danger, I would have revealed all earlier, but luck was on my side.

The night that I voted for Mithalwen, I really and truly had absolutely no idea who in the place was a Hero. I was just really grateful that Huan was dead- since it meant that I couldn't be mistaking about any of my real villagers. My vote for Mith was, as someone pointed out, a cop-out. However, it did a VERY good job of putting me back on the "suspicion list", which assured (in my mind) that the Heroes would leave me be for a while.

Then came the Meneltarmacil debacle and Morm's great plan- which irked me because it was too similar- and too soon- to my plan. However, it gave me the perfect cover. Not to mention the perfect set up for the post of Lord Sauron's fury!

And, to Morm:

Consider it a mark of my highest esteem for you as a Tol-In-Gaurhother that I dreamed of you at the very beginning. I wanted to know from the outset who's side you were on.

[WaynetheGoblin]

well i guess thats good i mean i wanted revenge on the wolfs and hope that the hero would have won but hey i won.

[Farael]

Aye, Yaye!!!!!! Wake up at 1 PM ready for lunch, feeling great and find that the game is already over!

First of all, congratulations to everyone for a fun game... Even to Mithalwen, will you forgive me now that we've won and I've been proven innocent???

I swear to you guys, for a moment you had me wanting to admit being a Hero... just for fun's sake EVERYONE WOULD HAVE LOOKED SO SILLY!!! alas, I was who I said I was

Even though I suspected spawn in the beginning, if I had orchestrated the double devouring it would have been Wayne and Boromir, Eomer and someone else in the next opportunity... I don't know what you said Boro, but I suspected you.

I wish you all a merry Christmas or Janukah!! and a happy new year just in case I don't get another chance to say so =)



And for the last time GRRRRRRRAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR I'M CARCHAROTH!!!

[Kath]

Eomer, all I can say is congratulations. No you couldn't have got out of dying but what an innocent you seemed!

Also Form, yes I can still say you are wrong even when playing Sauron!

But thanks to Anguirel for a fantastic game. Villagers against werewolves with a twist. Wonderful!

Probably not, but I would have tried going for Morm the night after spawn got killed, pray formen didn't dream about you to confirm the suspicions and then get him... then get Boro. They were the leaders and the pack might have sunk into anarchy. After that I'd go for Kath and don't kill Mithalwen as long as we are both alive, just start up some more arguments... keep

Of course, if you were asking how to avoid being suspected... well, trying to bring other people to the spotlight is not always the wisest calls so... prayer? I don't know, but you did give up before the game was over.

[Oddwen]

Yay! Good game, all! I had fun. Especially the role-reversals of it all, the only time I got it mixed up was when Nonna was lynched...I looked at the list and it said "Nonna (Werewolf) lynched" and I was like "Yay! Got a Werewolf...oh." Anyway. Being a Wolf actually helped me this game, every other game I've ever played I've just felt so frantic and stressed...not this one. Thanks, guys!

Oh, and sorry I couldn't get back to vote last night, I was so sick I lost track of time and had to go to bed.

Again, good game, and Merry Christmas to all!

[mormegil]

Spawn how many times now have you been a werewolf/hero role? I remember at least 3 or 4. I think you may have the record number.

[Meneltarmacil]

Menel, I see you have a new signature (thank you!), I really was wondering if you were just trying to copy my ideas. I guess it was just coincidence, right?

Apparently. I'm pretty sure I wasn't stealing your ideas, and so that's most likely the case.

[Gurthang]

Well, that's a relief.

That line almost has a story behind it, well a short one at least. From my point of view, I was seeing a lot of similarities between our posts. Now, I didn't want to just jump out and say 'Menel is copying my posts' as such an accusation often isn't true and leaves the accusor feeling rather embarassed. Still, I wanted to somehow get my message across without seeming too accusatory/offensive. I had to think of a funny way to tell people I had noticed, what I thought, was strange behaviour. And so the quote was born. I'm glad to see you found it amusing.
