I must say you hit on something here - if there was anything in this game that was really apparent and really drastic, then it was all the last-minute voting. Especially on the first days it was that EVERYONE voted in the last five minutes, if ever! Or maybe one person voted three hours before, then one person ten minutes before, and all the rest in the last five minutes (or not at all). Last minute voting is nice, but this, I think, has been an example how horrifying it can be. (Although, the outcome was not that disasterous... but still, it's stressful if nothing else. Well, on the other hand, WW is about adrenaline rising as well ).

Yeah. I felt like I was on Ritalin all week long.

If you must know Gandalf's suspicion list. Dain and Halbarad were both on it for traitors.


this is what, 7th game in which i have picked out 2 out of 3 wolves. i wonder when people are going to keep me around longer because my dumb luck seems to work everytime... i just watch what is said, wolves have a way with words that i detect almost right away...

le sigh... ol' mis-understood Gil...

Really you should feel honored that we were so scarred to see what would happen if you stayed longer. You're a sharp player Nerwen, and I only observe and learn from those I see as the best.

I was in a daze after the second Day voting, even if the deadline was at a relatively comfortable GMT for me, still I just sat there wondering if this was going to lead anywhere. Apparently so.

Same here, except my silly idea of drinking coffee and tea seriously did nothing to help me stay awake for both the Night and Day phases. I've probably overrun my caffine response again.

Well, I did enjoy the in-character element of the game (yes, it actually helped a little with how to rationalize thoughts in the game and not be killed so soon), but despite having some luck at this I think it should be used every once in awhile as all good ideas. No use in waring thin a wonderful idea.

As for future games, I'm going to take a break for awhile since my life is going to take quite a spin in the next few months.
I won't forget this game though, or any of the brilliant Downers, so I should be back. Eventually. Again.

Thanks again, all of you.

I actually think that it is a bit unfair how Gil is constantly killed of early in the game and allways for the same reason, his way of playing the game.

That was why I chritisised Nogrod so much for his vote on him, I thought that he had played enough with Gil to know how his style is.

[Nogrod]

I agree that is feels pretty nasty to see Gil go everytime so early... well not every time but pretty regularly. But this time I think there was a difference which was his insistence that he would only speak his mind the next Day. Now if we think that everyone would adopt the tactics saying "you should not lynch me toDay as I will speak toMorrow" it would obviously be a disaster for the game.

Had he been open with his supicions I probably would have voted Gwath instead of him... and that would have been good indeed... Sorry Gil.

Surely you should know better than to trust my judgement by now...

Well, it would have been fine had you not started to threaten me... Seriously though, I must agree with what Nog said about your tactics. But better luck and better strategies (from both my and your part) next time, I hope...

Ah! these silly languages which need to make a distinction between sexes...

I might have ignored the fact that Groin looked quite innocent and kept pursuing him with my weak day 1 reasons, hadn't you said it aloud.

Fair play. . . . It just seemed like a normal "lets get rid of Gil" day at the office, but I was mistaking.

Kind of like when Wayn The Goblin (cannot remember how it was spelled) used to play, he two was often removed from the game quite early. He said even less than Gil and I must admit that I voted for him several times in lack of better suspects.

the thing about first day, nobody truly has an idea of whose who except the wolves(to some extent). i remember how my first couple of WW games went like

Game 1: tried playing quiet and under radar. lynched day 1
Game 2: tried talking as much as possible and asking everyone questions. lynched day 1
Game 3: was busy all day, so no talking from me. lynched day 1. came back as hunter around end of game to replace the storm maiden(she has been gone too long).

what really got me frustrated was that every strategy i tried, it always got me lynched. made me want to give up WW for good seeing how i get no good games out of it. but i stuck by, and i had two great games. one where i was a werewolf and survived till end(taking dear nogrod down with me) and the other where i was glorfindel the hunter and killed a balrog with me. those games are few and rare now a days...
