Admin Thread: Weres of Eire

[Brinniel]

Sorry I haven't been able to do any sort of posting since the game has ended. My computer has been broken for a week and I just recently got hold of a rental.

First off, I want to apologise for my what I think was a below-average performance. I probably shouldn't have joined in the first place as I was so busy in RL getting ready to move...proves how addicted I really am. It's silly that it didn't occur to me I would end up as a werewolf, and even more, I didn't think I'd be the only werewolf throughout most of the game. When Nogrod was lynched and I was already heavily suspected, I realistically knew I wouldn't last long...I can play well under-the-radar, but once suspicious I've never been good at digging myself out of a hole. But I fought to survive during what time I had, mostly because I wanted to prevent the game from ending too soon (while I figured early on there was a banshee somewhere, I assumed she was on the villagers' side...I was quite surprised that the game didn't end after my death). After my almost-lynch, I figured I'd most likely be lynched, but I didn't intend to give up just yet. Then Rikae revealed herself as the weaver and along with everyone else, I believed her since she was right on target...at that point there really was no hope for me. Anyways, it is a good thing I died that Day because not only did I hop on a plane the next day, but my computer broke that night and even if alive, I wouldn't have been able to participate. Ah, fate.

I was rather disappointed I never had the chance to interact with Nogrod. In my opinion, it's the Night plotting that's the best part of being a werewolf. Not to mention, I'm probably one of the most indecisive people ever, so being completely on my own from Night 1 wasn't easy.

Night 1
Lommy was chosen mainly due to process of elimination. Izzy, Menel, and Durelin seemed too safe at the time and I was worried it'd be very much like me to pull a safe kill. Eolin caused enough confusion in Day One, I thought it'd be smart to keep them around. Spm gathered some suspicion and I wanted to use that into Day Two. I was hoping Rikae's vote would gather some attention the next Day. Though Kath was dangerous to keep alive, with her being so accurate, I thought it'd be just as dangerous to kill her. That left Lommy...I couldn't find a good enough reason not to kill her. Though she had gathered some suspicion, I wasn't sure how long that would stay. Mainly, I killed her to make it seem as an unexpected choice and confuse the others as to why she died.

Night 2
I was rather busy with RL during Night 2, so I had to make my choice fairly quickly. I chose Spm to make him the other unexpected choice. In the game, I used him as my primary suspect and I was hoping that in the eyes of an innocent it would seem silly for a wolf-me to kill of my main target. After all, I have quite often as an innocent heavily suspected the wrong person...it would be typical of me to make that mistake again. Of course, I wasn't expecting what Rikae had coming for me.

Good work to Shasta...I really liked the Irish theme of this game. And congrats to Rikae who played wonderfully to her victory. Though I must ask, did you really know Spm and I were on opposite sides, or was that just pure luck?
