Can this be true? We finally have two village victories in a row!

Congrats, villagers, you did good job spotting the orcs! It was fun to play with so many of you for the first time. I wish I could have lived a bit longer amongst such a nice bunch of players. Oh well, nasty orcs...

Okay, you orcs were great, too. Wonderfully sneaky!

Farael, thanks for really entertaining modding! I loved my death.

Zali, wow, a most impressive performance as the Ranger! And thanks for saving my skin on the first time.

Naria, you were a helpful Shaman, well done!

Well done folks!

that was a very enjoyable game to follow. Wish I'd been in it now although, as I was away over Easter, it would have been impossible as it turned out.

Just wanted to say a few things, really:

First, I thought the Shaman role worked out really well. So many possible but not quite definate unknowns. Well done on coming up with that Farael. I am sure that the Shaman will see action again in future games. And well done, Naria, for playing the role so well and making such good picks. You really excelled yourself in that game.

Secondly, I cannot for the life of me work out why you Orcs did not kill Zali instead of D18 that night. I realise that there was a possibility of discrediting her, although the longer she was around with no real Ranger coming forward, the less likely it was that she would be lynched. And also, it was only a matter of time before the Shaman dreamed of her. I also realise that you were after the Shaman, but wouldn't it have been better to get rid of the known innocents until you had a firmer fix on her? I'm just interested to hear what you reasoning was on this.

One more thing. Orcs, you played really well. I did not suspect JennyH at all, and she was really just unlucky. Nice attempt at confusion, by the way, just before you died. It's a double-edged sword, though, as , while it can lead the village into all sorts of red herrings, a few did manage to spot the one Orc on your "dangerous innocents" list. And I am proud to say that I spotted Roa and Caran from fairly early on. You both seemed to be posting a lot without saying very much, which is not your usual style (and, although I haven't played with either of you yet, I do keep an eye on these things). That's not to say at all that you didn't play well. You both did. Very well. It's just that it doesn't happen very often that my suspicions are right. In fact, I think I'm better at spotting Wolves/Orcs as an observer than as a player.

And boy, Roa, can you be aggressive.

And I take back what I said about Were-Orcs. It actually worked quite well. And, as we are shortly to be terrorised by Were-Ducks, well Orcs do seem rather fearsome in comparison ...

Hurray for the villagers! Two in a row!

All three of our Wereorcs did a great job. I never suspected Jenny. Nor would I have spotted Roa all that easily if not for that bit about Spawn at the beginning. And Caran was great - I almost doubted myself about Caran until the dream came through because of Naria's vote for Findeasea when we were trying to get Roa before.

But I'm still confused about why you chose Diamond. So, why?

But I am rather proud of this list from yesterday;

Where was I? Right. I'll borrow Nogrod's format and present my suspect list, in order:

Roa
Caranlondien

Naria

Grendelien

Proven innocent:
Zali
Nogrod
Sleepy
Me (check out the math below)

Naria - great dream picks!

Zali - great Rangering (again)!

Very enjoyable game, everyone.

Well, I don't know.
This Were-Duck is a bit fearsome, don't you think?
