Oh how lovely! Good work, dear villagers! I would've composed you a sweet little poem but you see I hate you and I hate dancing but thats beside the fact. The fact as I love all of you because Diamond just called me a wolf... a Sleepy Wolf not a Dancing Cat of Doom but a Sleepy Wolf...! All is right in the world again. *Eats an apple.*

Gah! I was so close to victory! So close I could almost touch it, but it slipped from my claws at the last moment! Curses! If only Formendacil were not a seer!

Well, congratulations Roa and Eonwe for making it to the end. Great job, villagers, killing off my two friends in the first two days.

Well I can now state my strategy to all. Of course it has dimished a bit in my mind but I will give you the generals. I knew I needed to be vocal otherwise it would be too obvious. I would be brazen and yet 'off' in my posts so that the cats wouldn't pick up on me. For example, I dreamt of Wilwa the first night I had a dream. My goal was to get the ball rolling against her and see if I could get her lynched. I did start the rolling because how often does a seer do that? Well as soon as Wilwa gave a moderate defense I faked like I believed her, again so the cats wouldn't think I was the seer, which worked. Obviously nobody thought I dreamt of her. My plan was put almost failed but Eonwe came and saved me. Due to his last minute vote change and kill of Wilwa I thought him innocent ergo I never dreamt of him despite what Formendacil stated. I merely thought him innocent and was correct in my assumption.

The next night I dreamt of Thinlo because of her posts during the day. She never spoke of Wilwa openly and somewhat attempted, in my mind, to divert attention. She was the cause of almost ruining my plan. I though her feline for it. Unfortunately I couldn't save her the next day even though I tried a bit I couldn't make it too obvious, therefore she needed to be sacrificed although Diamond became very suspicious during that day.

Isn't it odd how gifteds can appear suspicious because the next day I dreamt of Diamond, but due to her declaration she opened a good door for me to write her off my suspicion list. This was the same day the Formendacil made his best decision and choose me to dream of. He made an unexpected decision and declared himself, I think the next day but we dreamt of Kath and found her to be the adroit protector, by the way Kath your best time in the role . Gladly I was still under much suspicion too much perhaps as Diamond killed me she has since apologized and all is forgiven but Formendacil and I had some great plans in the works to distance ourselves and yet reek havoc for the cat. Sorry Alcarillo you did well but two seers that late was too much. I am glad that Formendacil thought I dreamt of Eonwe but to answer your question Roa I was yelling two things mainly

1. I DIDN'T DREAM OF EONWE AND I DID DREAM OF WILWA

2. I BELIEVE GARIN IS INNOCENT DON'T LYNCH HIM!!!! (poor chap has never had the chance of dying by the trio's hands or surviving)

All in all a well played game and great modding. Sorry to everybody about my reaction to the hinting but when that came out I was vehemently opposed and disagree that the mod should choose who is to be a given role and also opposed to the mod giving any sort of hint. It ruins the game to me.

Thanks to all.

Alas poor Formendabras! I knew him well, Horatio.

And so perished my attempt to play a game several degrees less somberly than usual... Valier, I would swear you set me up to make me sober up.

I'm kicking myself now for not dreaming Alcarillo sooner... All game I had him on the back of my mind, as being too quiet... And I kept dismissing it, and dismissing it...

And, speaking of Alcarillo: you have the most annoying playing style ever! I know you have time for more than one post per day, you deliberately sneaky wolf, you!

My goodness, this was a frustrating game for me. I had a very good nose for felines due to my close relationship with them and tried to communicate thus.

Unfortunately, I was suddenly de-clawed near the close of this journey and spent most of my time groaning with my hand on my crotch. (RL issues, watch HBO Deadwood series for more info.)

I was angered that I couldn't get Alcarillo lynched in my final scene. I don't anticipate playing WW for awhile but we shall see, I'll miss you all and will try to keep in touch.

A nice game!

Although dying the first night is pretty frustrating.

Alcarillo: Very bad indeed! So great...

Roa: You are just a virtuoso in WW...

Diamond, Glirdan, Garin, Form, Morm... : I do appreciate the way you play.

Others played well too (almost all really played in the game!).

And a bow to our feline moddess: good job!

PS. Once more about that list. I understand Morm's passionate anger about the stuff. It would be bad modding to give such a clear hintlist in the beginning. But it was funny, that a randomly gotten initials-list from the first death-poem would read WW (WereWolf) I GO (so valier saying, I'm dead now), and then the initials S, W & T - and two of them being actually cats! Anyhow: I was running after Sleepy not so much because of the list, but how he reacted to those list-suspicions...

Even though this might be a bit wrong forum for this, I'll go for it anyway.

So in Farael's game in TiG are a couple of vacant places to be filled. The game starts tomorrow and we have 13 players now. 15 would be nicer... but I think we will go on with 13 if no-one joins before tomorrow.
