I know what people are talking about when they're complaining about this and RL. I actually half-dreaded what will happen later this week if the game is still going on as I have quite a lot of school things to do as well as other stuff and guests coming to see us...

What? Surely it's not your fault we did not end up having a fifty-fifty situation...

The blame should be put almost entirely on me (though partly on Volo )

Mith's right - normally I wouldn't want to start the post-game discussion before the narration like this either -- but this time I was trying to get away to deal with other responsibilities. Having neglected these anyway, I have to pray that my prof is understanding.

Hmph. I disagree. If you ask me, the culprits are Nerwen, Durelin and Nogrod.

Now I see what Mith meant.... but still (not that this is a good excuse) this really isn't the first time things are clear before deadline, is it?

That doens't make it right.... it is just that there was so little time to the deadline ... it doens seem discourteous..but I am still talking so . *shut up Mith!*

That narration was so hilarious and so utterly disturbing at the same time...it's amazing.

You are so awesome, Aganzir. Thanks for the great game!

Thank you to everyone for a great (and wonderfully nerve-wracking) game!!

Well, I think this might be interesting to list...
People I voted for or advocated lynching:

Gwath - Innocent
Boro - Innocent
Mac - Innocent
Durelin - Wolf
Nogrod - Wolf
Menel - Innocent

The moral? Don't listen to me. Not that it matters, as I'm retired... but now, I wonder how this list would go for the rest of you? It might be good to know who has the best wolf-suspecting ratio from a game without gifteds...

Don't be silly - you could have had more back up (from me for a start) and it was one of the strongest wolf packs I have faced ... no weak link. It take ages for me to work out Dury and Nogrod is so inherently suspicious that I almost ignore it. And Nrewen.. well I said last time we played she wouldbe a terrifing wolf.

We were also a bit unlucky losing Boro, who can be very astute.

And I'd say Agan's narration does shine off brightly enough from this discussion...

A deep bow to Agan as well for her wonderful narrations. Even this last was a touchy one.

*one who need to rush as well*

I just realized, the village is 0-3 since I started. I wonder how long I can continue the streak.

Cabbie, my thanks. I was waiting to talk until another corpse did.

Wolves, you little nasties, well done. I called Nerwen for a wolf as soon as I saw that I'd died, and thought Boro or Dury for one of the others. Never would have caught Noggie though. You rascally little devil you.

Agan - that narration will give me nightmares ... I read a book last year that had a child freeze to death lost in the snow and I couldn't finish it....

Well-done, wolves. Well-done indeed. I don't think this will be my last game, though. I'm honestly crazy enough to try again.

Likewise... which is why I took the risk of trying to get an ordo lynched toDay rather than sacrificing one of my fellow-wolves.
