I wasn't hopeful at all..... not until we got Kath ..and even then I was scared we'd throw the advantage away..

Durelin .. I meant to say - this post made me laugh so much I really wanted you to be innocent ...... by the time I arrived it was so intense I forgot to be frivolous at all....

That and Ang's Zabaglione post were my favourites .....

I think we baddies did pretty well against the odds, especially considering that two of us had absolutely no experience as wolves!
Mith, Kath's right, I went after Boro because I figured I was done for anyway and might as well take the hunter with me instead of waiting around to be lynched or assassinated.
I really liked the "secret roles" feature of this game; it added a whole new level of strategy and excitement. When my turn comes to mod, I'm thinking of revisiting that idea.
Great game everyone! Volo, you still haven't told me how you knew I was a wolf on day one...

Not before I died, when I posted my thoughts on you I didn't think you were a wolf. But the reason you voted me, it wasn't a reason... Well, it could have been seen as joke and agreement with others about me being suspicious.

So I guess the answer is that I didn't know you were a wolf on day1. How could I? You played really well, but for your reason to vote for me.

Indeed, the Informer, I didn't understand the role before you, Mith, mentioned it now. Hmm... Interesting role, Nogrod could give hints to the villains...

Yes, I agree now that the result depends on so many things. Killing Ang on night3 (did the other Ranger protect him then?) was proposed by the Informer, that would have made a big change. Knowing that Mith isn't a Ranger was also really useful knowledge...

(How glad I am that I wasn't the Cobbler/Informer, I would have had to lie unlike in any other role.

I don't know how to be a liar! (Even though I act cobblerisque naturally. Do I?))

What was that shaman Roa mentioned?

I think one of the problems on my bandwagon was that I wasn't able to be present while it happened. It easy to lynch somebody who is abscent. Plus I hadn't been behaving completely normal, but I have tried lately to add some variety to playing style.

Kath · 02-07-2007, 01:26 PM

And I liked it morm! Do you know I never suspected you at all? Which is just unheard of. It was strange realising that you'd been quiet though!

Roa_Aoife · 02-07-2007, 02:42 PM

It wasn't unbalanced, per se. It just required a good bit of luck on both sides (perhaps a bit more on the wolves side), which I suppose is how any game of werewolf should eventually end up. (I know I hate it when my victories are cheapened by saying the game was balanced in my favor *coughdeulingwizardscough*)

The "shaman" was like a seer, but instead the dream could go to any player. Given that there were some 12 villagers to 3 wolves, all the liklihood of receiving dreams was in the favor of the village, which allowed innocents to come forward with concrete information, and removed the danger of the shaman being revealed. It was like having an unkillable seer who could just make more and more known innocents and in the end it was obvious who the wolves were because there was quite literally everyone else was a known innocent. (My only loss as a wolf ever, and it was in part my fault for a crazy, overbold plan to combat the shaman.)

Good game.

I liked the villagers' reasoning towards the end.
