Sorry sally. Actually I started hoping no one would come in and vote you and Gwath (or anyone else) would be lynched instead because our talk during the last minutes of the day made me rather, well, convinced of your innocence.
I just couldn't help feeling the way I did.

Haha Brinn. Though I think we have this little habit of suspecting each other rather often so it isn't that surprising. I always find you forced-looking.

Well played, baddies. I had a bad feeling about Kath through the whole game but didn't do anything about it because I was so much after sally. But as for Gwath and Eönwë... I had a fleeting suspicion about them both on day 1 but played it down by thinking Nah, that's just normal behaviour for them, I don't want to start being nitpicky again. To be honest I wasn't as convinced about their innocence as I appeared to be - I was trying to look like the seer who had dreamed of them and found them innocent. I picked them because they looked rather innocent and I found I could change my mind about Gwath beautifully. No wonder my plan didn't work.

I'm sorry, though, that the village was so quiet. I understand it was mostly because of RL stuff, what with holidays and Christmas and all. Still, after the other louder players had died, I didn't have much enthusiasm to make big cases and spend a lot of time online, either. It's not fun to feel I was playing all alone (which is maybe a bit unfair of me because there were other players participating well anyway - I'm probably just too used to seeing good long posts every time I refresh the thread).

I think Menel had had two dreams when he was killed. Who actually were those dreams? Why did you wolves decide to kill him anyway?

As for my role, I was told that if the wolves attacked me, I would kill one regardless of whether I had sent in their name or not. I sent in a name every night though. First I think I was hunting Nog because I thought there had been something fishy in the way he, Boro and me seemed to decide the lynchee on day 1. My second two nights I hunted sally, and then Eönwë.

I'm a lousy hunter to reveal at such a bad time but I figured the wolves hadn't killed me because they had realised I was the hunter, and thought I could as well make it public information. Not that it would have changed the outcome of the game.

Anyway thanks for the game Gollum. It was nice to have a bit smaller village for once (although it also meant it was quieter). If we don't take into account some frustration of having so many posts compared to most, the game was enjoyable.

N1: Boro But Boro died the same night, leaving no gain.

N2: Agan Good choice, but the info never got out.


I had been hoping that the players would take into consideration (maybe they did, but I didn't see it) the species they carried. For example, trolls would hardly be fit to take on as a huge a scale role as the mastermind, but they might be more easily forced to the werewolf. And vice versa with the dragons. You get the idea.

I'm afraid the wolves were at a disadvantage, Gwath knew who they were, but didn't know his identity. Also Gwath sent them instructions once or twice, perhaps (I don't know for sure) hampering their movements. And losing once all the innocents were dead. Sorry if you felt irritated, Kath.

I ought to have suspected you were insincere in your support of me! I thought that about Boro and his defense of my innocence, and consequently had him killed. Very clever - I'd rep you if I could!

Ah, it was at my suggestion that Menel was killed. It was your fault, actually. I knew that you would have Sally lynched the next day if you could, and I was hardly going to stand in the way of that. So, we couldn't kill you or sally, which left only Menel. I had no idea he was the seer.

Gwath you're evil.

However I'm sure Boro likes your sig. Now he maybe learnt he shouldn't defend you and you'll continue to get lynched early.

That would be just my luck, though I surely deserve it after this game.
