Werewolf XLVI: Getting Back to Basics - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-13-2008, 02:04 PM

Ha! So it was Oddwen - I was right after all! Hm, hm, seems my hunches proved to be really good in this game. Maybe I should trust them more. But congrats, Oddie! You managed to balance it from the beginning so that you weren't on the top of the suspicion. However had I been more experienced in playing with you, maybe I would not have been unsure on what is or is not your playing style and may have voted for you on Day 1.

I must say I enjoyed this particular game - especially you, sir Nog, there were times when I would have joyfully torn you into pieces.

But good game, very good game. And thanks to Menel of course... and then all players...

I feel only pity for our Seer, but, that just happens... (and I would like to ask now: was anyone aware of her, or suspected her of Giftedness? And Lhuna, what was your first dream?)

BTW I just would like to mention that when I suggested you voted for me so I could go home and drink champagne it wasn't meant as threat to quit just that it was a really hot day and family members were due back from France with champagne - which is a too rare but great pleasure of my life ... and I am afraid I am not enough of a WW addict to not find sipping a chilled glass or three more than appealing....

Well. I indeed had an idea to try to make myself look somewhat suspicious just to gain enough votes so that no-one would wonder why I was still alive if the game went further and I was still alive. I mean I have been caught once or twice just because of that: "why haven't you been killed during the Nights Noggie?" But I guess I overdid it... even if I thought I was quite reasonable, well most of the time...

Special kudos to Kath for psychology! She said on Day1 or 2 that I looked like I was a wolf not entirely happy to be a wolf - or something. And she was soo right! I really cursed when I got Menel's "happy-happy-congrats!" PM of being a wolf. I just had no inspiration or will to be one. I would have loved to be an ordo indeed.

But no can do. And in the end we fared quite well.

Kudos also to Lommy for her hunches - as well as Mith and Legate for spotting me head on.

And thank's Sally for standing by me when the going got rougher. And as no joke this is. Even if one is a wolf it feels nasty when everyone is at your tail and then someone speaking good of you feels actually really great.

And Gwath performed his part just great! It was sad it ended so early as a run between us two. It would have been nicer if we'd had one Day more to create confusion by attacking each other. And pointing to my earlier words about my enthusiasm this time I would actually been quite as happy to go myself first...

Talk to the sig, Nog, talk to the sig. *glares*

Well, it was an enjoyable game, even if I did end up being an idiot for most of it. Well played all, and especially Noggie. Maybe I'll actually start speaking to you again eventually. *pause for though* Erm, never mind.

Anyway, on lunch break at work so I best be off. I'll be back to offer more commentary later. See you all then!

Lhunardawen · 05-13-2008, 03:59 PM

I hate you, Oddwen.

I dreamt of Gwath the first Night, which is why I voted for him. Excellent that some of you picked that up.

I WISH!

Really, I dreamt of Agan first Night. I almost thought the wolves knew that, and so killed her Night 2, but that was impossible.

Noggie, I knew you were a lycan the first Day. That was a rather pathetic suspicion, that one you built about me and Volo.

More when I'm no longer in a hurry and stopped shaking enough to type properly.

Gah, Oddwen, I HATE YOU!

PS. I can't help adding...

Lhuna
- was just having a bit of craziness first Day
- because if she was too serious, she'll be lynched for being suspected a wolf
- it worked excellently

- (I told you!) when she dies an innocent, the villagers ALWAYS lose
- should probably stop now

Please, Legate, sir...don't pity me. I pity myself enough.

But as it turned out, it was a good thing RLwise to have died earlier, because that week turned out to be busier than I expected. I have to admit I wasn't holding on to much hope for the village when I died, but when you lynched 2 wolves in a row...

I still hate you, Oddwen. That was utterly brilliant.

Kath · 05-13-2008, 04:10 PM

Mith, I love you, it's as simple as that. I'm so glad I can still peg you as innocent when it comes down to it and that you trusted me enough to vote. I mean, I don't see this as a loss for the innocents really. We lost on chance. I'm calling it a tie and so should you!

I saw you post about me possibly being an evil Ducky though ... does this experience make you fear me any less?

The Elf-warrior · 05-13-2008, 05:18 PM

Auugh! I'm so sorry I got it wrong, especially after I warned everyone to get it right. Lhuna, I wouldn't have thought that you had dreamt of Aganzir. You said something along the lines of Aganzir is sweet and innocent, or so she claims. That seemed to me as if you had doubts about her innocence, which you wouldn't have had if you had dreamt of her.

Oddwen · 05-13-2008, 08:35 PM

Ahh! *faints* Whee!

Thank you, you're welcome, that's the game!

Good game everyone!

For the record, I *did* send Mith's name in last night. I just retracted it later.

And yeah, it was crazy of me...I kind of had a better plan but as it was I ran to RL work without shoes or lunch.

I'm not even sure I have a style anymore. This time, I tried playing with the mindset of an Innocent - I even dreamed that you were killing people. Yes. You, Legate, in cold blood and cruel glee crushed down Kath and Mith. But it wasn't in a Werewolf game. Shame, shame, shame. ;P

As a sort of peace offering, I would like to dedicate this song to every Seer wot was ever lynched. This would be

Evisse the Blue, lynched on Day One in Game III
Kitanna, lynched on Day Two in Game V
Volo, lynched on Day Four in game XXXIII
Lhunardawen, lynched on Day One in Game XLVI

And to you who lynch the wrong people, for making Our job just a little easier...Thank You.

*salutes*

(apologies to Evanescence, and you)

I love you back.

While I am sure you would be insulted if I felt I could trust you completely, I did at least accept the inverse of my "acts like a wolf, sounds like a wolf, looks like a wolf - chances are it is a wolf theory" ie if Kath acts like an innocent and votes like an innocent ..there is a chance that she may be an innocent rather than playing her customary blinder as a wolf.

I just wish I had picked up on Oddwen quicker ... misled by that voting record too long alas.

I suppose like Butturbur I can see through a wall given long enough and I was lucky that EW was factored out.

Just so frustrating that a very considered decision had the same outcome as if I had just left it too fate....

I suppose the die was even at least - We got Nogrod not Nerwen so I felt that getting Oddie was less probable (clearly Gwath-Nogrod) doesn't quite count.

Oh many thanks to Menel for his choice of death. Day one posts are hard to judge so the chance to go on a Pythonesque flight of fancy was glorious.
