WWJ IV: Let the insanity ensue - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Oh I don't know...everyone was useful except for Gandalf, and he couldn't help that. And Elu was pretty quiet about things, but he was also a Wolf who survived to the end...can't fault him for that. Although why I got nailed before him...Maybe if Valier and I had gone for him instead of (foolishly) for Firefoot we would have been ok. I think Eonwe would have been much more likely to buy that.

Great game everyone! Good job to you, Mith and Elu! Elu, I never even really though about you too much. You're a very insidious wolf. Mith, I couldn't determine if you or Firefoot was a wolf. To be honest, after I died, I though Firefoot would end up being a wolf.

Jenny, I'm most sorry to have had a death in you hand. And Valier, I also completely misjudged. When you both started working to closely together, I thought for sure that you both were wolves.

Nogrod, great seering job.

Kitanna, great moding job.

Yeah, I prolly would have been more up for lynching Elu, but that is hindsight...

I really wish I hadn't missed the weekend, I kind of lost alot of ground...oh well.

Again, great game everyone!

Nogrod stated my thoughts pretty well.

Firefoot: I'm so sorry to have mistrusted you! One day forwards, and we could have made the difference!

No kidding. You played really well too.

Looking back at all this, the wolves really did escape a lot of the suspicions. They just sort of stepped aside and let us all kill each other off. And of course we fell for it.

I think the hats off of this game has to go to Roa. The seer dream was really unfortunate, but barring that, I would say that she played a really great game. She was able to be vocal and really contribute while still deflecting most people's suspicions. Kudos to you, Roa!

I have posted my reps' to Roa already, and can't give them another time for the time being, but she really was great! Would she have been poorer in her dealings, we could have spotted the wolves... Good play Roa!!!

Well Nogrod - I regretted not voting for you too!!!! I was sure I would die the day after you announced yourself ..... when you declared yourself the instant I had posted my rant I nearly died on the spot.... fortunately I managed to get out of it. I was so certain I wouldn't make it - I even wondered if it was worth risking not killing Nogrod that night (assuming he would have dreamt of me anyway ) and create enough muddle and confusion to Elu to slip through.

However Elu calmed me down and Nogrod went.

Elu and I disagreed on the last night's kill though - I would still liek to know if Kitanna flipped a coin for me to get my way!!!!

Jenny - you freaked me out when you latched on to me so much. I nearly panicked as I did on my first attemt at wolvery.... you have no idea how relieved I was to survive day 1 - everything else was a bonus until the last night and it seemed we really could win it.

Valier was unlucky not to be believed more but having generated enough suspicion of her early for her insubstantial posts, it was on the whole worth keeping her alive.

Firefoot I feared most, getting her onside was a wonderful bit of luck as was the lynching of Wilwa.

Nogrod - scary, scary, scary.... and you said you wouldn't open the door to me!!!

Night 1 we wanted to lynch someone quiet - the reason it was Lommy not Gandalf..... well I know it was stupid to think this could be that simple but if you look at the original list and see where we wolves and Wilwa were......

I think we did well to win but we were helped by the quietness and the first to reach total dies rule......

*grumbles* I thought you were really the first who seemed to be taking the game seriously, except for Firefoot who seemed pretty desperate. Only during the last day, in PMs with Lommy, did I finally realize you were really suspicious.

EDIT:

And that early vote from the "wait until the last possible second" person was also a bit of a tip-off.

Mithalwen · 02-24-2006, 07:31 AM

Well I didn't deliberately wait - that was timezones and with so few participants it was hard to hide votes so I had to be careful. But last day I knew if someone else voted for an innocent I could make the victory secure becasue of the first to total rule. So if Valier had voted Firefoot so would I - of course that would have been far more conspicuous btu it didn't matter then
