I asked him that. He said "Probably."

Well... he said more than that, and it was funny, but you'll have to ask him about the last two thirds of his response.

Maybe rather maniac than megalo

Seconded.

Not really. Personally I had a big problem with that and I am sure I played totally unnaturally. Agan, you really spotted something strange on me and/or did you add two and two and guess that we are all cobblers?

Funnily enough, of course, as a Cobbler, I hoped to get you to do that As much as I wanted Agan to get people to lynch me, the best on Day 7 or if I survived, then the last day (as seemingly everyone hoped).

Concerning Wolves, I was sure Mac is one from Day 1, later from Day 3 I also thought about Rikae. I thought both Nog and Nerwen innocent. In the last phase, I was quite inclined to think that Morm is a wolf (and I was quite happy that everyone was inclined to trust him), however, there were moments when I was not sure if there could not be anyone else (namely SpM on the Day when Farael revealed himself and Kath later).

No way. If they revealed you lied, you will be lynched and you will be revealed as ORDO - that would be really strange and will probably ruin TP's main purpose, or at least undermine it, as all would wonder why an ordo did such a thing, concluding that TP lies by saying you are an ordo. And the other cobblers, of course, will start to be suspicious.

Anyway, that was a funny game... but phantom, despite the fact I really liked it, I am hereby saying, and I MEAN it, that you will NEVER ever get me to play YOUR game again. NEVER!

And btw great job, Gifteds, especially Farael. If you were not in a village full of cobblers, I am sure you could have won...

Go morm! You brought home the victory for us!

In a way, that's a compliment to the wolves. We all seemed to have managed to be appear so innocent that the cobblers wanted to lynch us.

As a wolf, I was happy that I could take the advantage of being able to do some honest wolf-hunting during the days and appear innocent by it. I was absolutely sure about Nogrod's guilt after his reply to me. It's funny: it seems like I was the only one who wanted to lynch him on Day One because he actually found him wolvish!

Sorry about that.... we didn't really have a clue who to kill in Night Two, and we thought you might have been gifted. The one we tried to kill during Night Three was Eomer, by the way.

Two questions for Nerwen: did you try to kill me because you found me innocentish/seerish or because you thought I was a competing wolf. And who did you attempt to kill the first night?

Last but not least: Kudos to Farael! You and Boro clearly played best in this game!

PS: I knew there was something wrong with Aganzir. Although, considering the fact that there was something wrong with almost everybody, this doesn't seem like a great accomplishment.

I never thought you were a wolf but you were certainly strange- in a cobblerish way. What made me sure was when you said I wasn't suspicious. (I'm not sure if you thought I might be a wolf. It was mostly the way you said it.)
I thought it unlikely that there would be two cobblers and, as there had been other weird persons as well, the idea that we all were just occurred to me and seemed to make so much sense.

I was quite sure Farael was going to dream of you but I was hoping the wolves would kill him. My intent was to make also myself look bad by wanting so vocally to lynch an innocent when there were quite few days left to find the last wolf.

That's why I kept labelling Rikae innocent (even with the risk of her being a gifted).

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Hi everyone. Good game. I really enjoyed most of it (though I must admit my interest lessened when roles were not discovered on death).

Very unique idea, phantom. I like the whole Ulmo story.

[Cailín]

I'm very relieved most of my theories, thoughts and brilliant plans were never made public and only discussed in private. The mods and audience would have been even more amused about our cluelessness (and at times, excitement because we seriously believed we'd figured it out). No, I am not going to share.

Good game everyone.

Yours,

Eomer's "little bird"

[Nerwen]

Greetings, all! I just got back from a trip and I've been reading through all the posts. I do think it's funny that the fact that just about everyone was evil actually facilitated wolf-hunting in the first part of the game!

We suspected you and Rikae on Day 1. I saw no reason to change my suspicions as the game unfolded– however, the strange way other people were acting led me to believe we had at least a couple of secret cobblers (though I never realized it was everybody). I guessed Farael was the Seer– which is why I tried to get on side with him. I meant to leave him alive until I'd dealt with the other team.

Ah, well. Best laid plans...
