You had me mostly convinced. I was actually disappointed to learn that you were not, in fact, The Prostitute.

Hahaha poor you!

If only I hadn't died then! I didn't know there were cobblers but I didn't trust Fea and Eomer. I was so glad you were lynched since it could have turned out also otherwise. Great performance, anyway - especially given that you weren't apparently allowed to PM.
You know, Fea, there were some comments of yours that kept bothering me all through the game but I couldn't really put my finger on them, like that "If I'm a lover then our dear Moddess thought it would be hilarious not to tell me who my counterpart was." and such.

I find it funny that both Greenie and Cab were included in the few people whose posts I analysed, and I reached the conclusion that both of them were rather innocentish.

Also, I did not stop suspecting Gollum. I was just so happy that he finally responded to me properly that I wrote my post based on that first impression (also one of my major reasons for suspecting him later was a statement I had misunderstood). Then I went back and reread it and realised that there was actually very little that should have made me suspect him less.

Someone also said I seemed to be certain Brinn and Gollum were lovers. I wasn't, but I wanted to see what would happen if I put some pressure on them both. Unfortunately their reactions didn't reveal much.
And then I actually started suspecting Brinn, but that was because Brinn is always so suspicious. I remember being a wolf once, and while typing my great case on her, I thought, "Whoa, if I didn't know better, I would be sure she's a wolf!" My suspicions of her lessened pretty much, though, when she was so ardent to disagree with Fea after her claim.

Sally, you're just mean. :P I had you pinned on second day but then I just forgot about you.

Thanks Gwath. You were awesome.

I should try to stop suspecting Mac and Rikae every time.

Oh and lovers, why did you decide to kill the people you did? Which pair killed whom?

Anyway, thanks for the game to everybody, and especially Di. This was really enjoyable.

Quite frankly, I'm now thoroughly depressed that wasn't my role.

Good game, guys. Probably the most fun I've had as an ordo.

Brinn always seems innocent to me! Don't know why, given that the one time I was a wolf, so was she . But she has.. a vibe, I dunno. Same with Rikae and Sally.

....Maybe it's a female thing.

Mad skills, my friend, mad skills.


For Agan: Lemme think. I believe our kills were Legate, Noggie, Agan, Agan, Brinn. I may be wrong....there were only five Nights, correct? I'll explain them later, but for now I need a nap. Or at least to do some homework and tidying. You can tell I've been in a WW game; my dorm room's a mess. (But it smells nice! Yay for those Wallflower things! [/product placement])

Love you too, Legate.

If it makes you feel any better Gollum asked me who I was most "afraid of" and you were near/at the top of the list. And the rest you know....

I love the concept, Di! I'm sorry for being so disrespectful as to assume you made an unbalanced game - I should have known better.

BTW - it was interesting that, in this game, RL lovers suffered basically the same fate they would have if they had been in-game lovers!

Nogrod et al., I hope I've proven once and for all that I do, in fact, get furious while innocent (of course, that probably was an elaborate scheme in itself, designed to make me appear more innocent next time I'm evil, eh, Nog? )

I suppose I should explain my cryptic remarks. Mac, apparently without realizing it, made a post that looked very much like a seer-hint to me, and one hinting he had dreamt of me and Aganzir. I suppose it's a very good thing he wasn't, or I would be responsible for getting the seer killed...

Another thing: I just have to draw everybody's attention to this.

A few more random things from ModLand:

The title of the game is taken from Don't Fear the Reaper. (And do watch that video, because it's kind of hilarious and awful, yet fitting. Much like McCaber's offering. )

And yes, I did handpick the roles.

I worried a lot over how to make the roles so the game would be interesting but both sides had an equal chance. It may seem like the Lovers were far outnumbered, but in the last game four pairs of lovers just made for too much carnage. I tired to help them out with the cobblers, and also giving them more information about the actual roles than anyone else got. In the end I think it worked. Gollum and Sally came very close to winning -- despite being thwarted in their kills by Gwath at nearly every turn.

Oh and I believe Nogrod at one point speculated that I chose the Lovers based on who I thought could sneak by unnoticed. Yes. Yes, I did.
