Oh, and Agan, I had the same train of thought. Then when Mac died I about lost it, knowing for certain that Rikae was a wolf and that Mac had gotten majorly....well, majorly ripped off, to put it politely. I felt so bad for the poor guy.

Once again, I feel really bad about messing up the timing... but maybe it wouldn't have altered the outcome. You wolves had it all tied up so well that even if we'd lynched Legate or McCaber, Shasta would have likely got it the next day anyhow.

*shrugs* Well– he'd have had to change his mind about you and me being wolves together after one of us got eaten in the night. And maybe he'd have then concluded it was neither of us.

Trouble is, it looked like McCaber and Legate just couldn't both be wolves. I'd been getting an increasingly bad feeling about Legate of Dol Guldur, but I kept telling myself, "No, it has to be McCaber."

They must have been laughing their shaggy heads off at this:

After quite a long train of games I have to say that playing ordo is one of the best things that can happen to you. Well, being a cobbler kind of outranks it but after that it's my favourite being an ordo.

I had no time last I was online to thank Nerwen for her great game or to apologise to Sally... Let it be done now,

And Gwath, that was just amazing first game! I do hope to see you in the next ones! You really have talent and with playing a game or two you'll pick on the different specialities we others may come up with...

An enjoyable game this was!

And once more kudos to the wolves...

Thanks. I'll be practicing my hangman's knot. And making more silver bullets.

Well, that was interesting... wolves win it seems!

Now, there has been a little.... problem with the accomodations and my hotel has no Internet. I could write up a narrative right now, but I think it's better left until later when I actually have time to write something worth-while. I'll write a couple comments later, but right now I want to say

THANKS ROA

And good game to y'all (at least as far as I've read)

You all may have your reckoning next time, but this Night belongs to the wolfpack.

Just thought I'd say that.

I'll say.

You know, there is a thread in the Books section about whether Morgoth or Sauron was the best villain.

I think it's clear now they're both just amateurs who should move aside for the real baddies.

Apologize? For what? No harm done dear Noggie.

Hehe poor Noggie and clan, all brutally murdered. My first reaction was "Oh, crap." And my second was, "Genocide. How lovely."

Bring it on, Cabbie. Bring it on.

*giggles* I'm still bitter that my duck was attacked. How dare you all! A poor defenseless duck, and you almost killed her! I'm happy to report, however, that Emily is feeling much better.
Funny story, actually. My friend Emily actually got sick the day that I died in the game, which she told me yesterday afternoon when we were dining. It didn't occur to me until now, but perhaps there is dark magic about us. Or really snazzy mods.

By the way....for your amusement....here's a lovely artist rendering of my little Emily (the ducksie of course, not the person). Basically one of my colleagues got bored at work upon a lazy afternoon and drew....well, see for yourself....Sorry if it's really big.

Oh, what a flattery...

Nice location, by the way.

Obviously. Not that I would be that much surprised, anyway.

It has been a while since I last died early so it felt quite odd. But in a way it was good because I had an extremely busy week last week.

I got to know the wolves very soon after my death so I followed the rest of the game knowing the wolves' identities and despairing (and laughing, to be honest ) at the villagers being so totally confused and on the wrong track. Actually I started cheering loudly when Gwath started to accuse Legate on the last Day, but sadly it was too late.

And before I found out how things really were, I was quite convinced that the wolves are a rather bold trio consisting of Mac, Rikae and Gwath. Furthermoe, I feel like banging my head against the wall or something. On Day1, I kept looking at Mac and Rikae's interactions, thinking that one of them must be a wolf. When I read them properly, Rikae just looked so much worse than Mac. But I stubbornly clung to my suspicuion of Mac, thinking something like "Rikae may seem more suspicious but Mac is more suspicious" and ended up voting Mac and not voicing too much suspicion of Rikae. How can one be that stupid?

Anyway, it was a great game to read through. Rikae's crocodile's tears were kudos-worthy, Legate's innocent facade lasted unbelievanly well and McCaber is probably one of the sneakiest wolves in ww history. Congratulations, wolves, you were all awesome and deserved your victory.

Poor Menel did well and Gwath's debut was impressive. Actually, Sally, Nogrod, Nerwen, Greenie, Agan, Mac, Shasta ... well, everyone it seems... played well. It was a nice game, even though I spent most of the time just reading.

And wolvsies, if you feel like posting those PMs, please do: it's always interesting to read them.
