Well, this was a nice game, but the post-game discussion has been even more silent than the game itself...

I think this game was every now and then really quite a lot of fun, and rather ironic too. Here I was, a wolf telling the innocents who the seer dreamt of (being completely honest and even right about it) and they didn't even take my word of it. It was absurd!

Speaking of seerism, I have to praise both Rune and Legate. Rune managed to reveal his dreams clearly but unseerishly - I thought he was maybe a little weird and a bit too innocent, but I didn't really catch him. I needed Legate to point him out for me - and he did it rather effortlessly.

And by the way, I wanted to hit Eomer with something when I heard he had made Legate my fellow wolf (sorry, I mean Vala) - right after that ridiculously long lovers joke Nogrod had invented. It was just too bad. He was an excellent mate, though, a pity you stupid people killed him so soon. Diamond was great too, I only wish she would have had more time. Because we did have fun, but I think we could have had even more fun.

I must congratulate Gwath and Gaunt for winning the game - you played really well, I would rather have been on your side, almost. Gaunt's werewolf debute was most impressive. And I must apologise to Kath for teasing her - I just had to. *evil grin*

As for those kills - let me first apologise to Kitanna and Nogrod, who were both playing so well and nicely. I chose them both without Diamond's help and just because they looked slightly seerish to me. (And Nogrod because of whom he believed innocent, NOT because he "suspected" me. Later I realised killing him was really bad move, but oh well, I didn't know Legate was to become my fellow back then when I picked Nog.) You know why Rune was killed and Mith's death was because she looked like a "dreamt of innocent" and because nobody suspected her.

That's my rambles for a while I guess - no, wait, thanks to Eomer for a good game... and I have to add that I too was a little displeased with Sam's going on the first Day, given how extremely rarely he plays. But a game is a game...

Gaunt has just left Hobbiton.
Thanks to Eomer for a thoroughly entertaining first game of werewolf.

I have to admit up until the near the end my suspicions were all over the place (a day earlier Thinlomien-Ulmo had me firmly believing she was a fellow innocent!)

I should have gone for her right from the start instead of Nogrod. Oh well, at least she was Aule and not one of those other Valar, I think that I can forgive her more easily now! Great job thanks for modding the game, Eomer, and congratulations again to all the new WW players. See y'all in the next game!

I wish I'd been able to be around more -- it's so fun to be a wo... er, Valar and yet the two times I've been one, I've had practically no time. The first time it worked out well because it made me a submarine wolf but this time I think it didn't go so well because I rarely had any idea what was going on. Lommy basically played the whole thing by herself (coming up with the kill choices and posting) except for the one day she had Legate. When she died I knew it was over for me since I was the only one who didn't vote to lynch her, but even if I had a chance it wouldn't have felt quite right to win without her.... Ah well, it was still fun to be "bad." I think it I hadn't been a Valar I might have done as Shasta did and dropped out, because it was so hard to find time. Curses!

Did I mention that I've never actually survived a game of werewolf before?

What? Really? Nonsense! Once, when me and Rikae and McCaber were...

Wait. We lynched you on last Day. Okay, maybe you are right then. In that case, that's something to celebrate, isn't it?
