Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXV: All Star Crossed With Nowhere to Go - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Quite a game!

Congrats to the winners, Mac and Lhuna, beautifully played!

It's funny to see how one can be right for absolutely wrong reasons. On Day1 I voiced my suspicions about Lhuna and as foremost knight around her arcticstorm. I felt there was something fishy there, but my deductions over the nature of that fishiness were purely false.

Like some others, I thought Mac to be suspicious, but toned it down to survive the Night (one shouldn't suspect too many too heavily to stay alive during Nights)... And I just knew Morm to be evil! Because of his way of playing I chose him as my first dream (Night2) and he turned out to be the werewolf! Sadly I had no chance of telling that to anyone.

And surely I was totally wrong about Farael... I should learn to see through his style of play at last.

This was the second time I played the "seer" and I really loved it, the one Day I had time to play...

Thanks to Diamond for a hectic game, four deaths a Night makes the game quite stressing in a good way - even though I really would have loved to survive the first one...

Durelin and Rikae: brave fight to the end! Sad you didn't make it. It was so near - and at the same time so far.

I want to say thank you to everybody who offensively suspected me during the game. Knowing you're a baddie and defending yourself from just accusations and analyses was the greatest of fun. I was overjoyed when I read that Valier apparently had bought my excuses.

And Jenny, believe it or not, I am sad the second part of your analysis never came to be.
Excuses to foremost Valier, Durelin, Farael, Rikae and Kath for trying to mess with their minds. It was part of the job description!

This was fun to read, a good idea I must say! Congrats to Mac and Lhuna, you deserve it. Had a good laugh on Valier really being arranger... But then again, I'm now relieved that I came too late to play in this one, not that it was a bad game, no way.

Being right is small comfort when the end result is still a defeat.

Very well done Mac and Lhuna! And kudos to everyone else still alive on that last Day, it was close.

Fantastic game and narrations Diamond - and what an idea! Four Lover pairs certainly made for an interesting game!

That was an absolutely delightful game!! Kudos to everyone around, I don't think there was anyone who didn't perform beautifully.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for making my first WW game an enjoyable one. I had a lot of fun. And congrats to Lhuna and Mac for being so delightfully evil. :-)

Regards,
Fintaeph.

So I finaly got to see an evil Lhuna. . . .But of course some one had to kill me before making my mind up about her!
