Re: Night 2
Do we want to try to kill a gifted (and risk attacking dear Walter or the diva/o), or do we want to shoot for an ordo? I am tempted to suggest that we kill the phantom, if only for his remark toDay that he could direct the nightly kills through clever manipulation.

I say yes, we kill the phantom. Because I know well that he can manipulate. Mostly just because while I'd LOVE to keep him around for entertainment value, who would ever think I'd choose to kill him at night?

Anyway...

Yes, I think we should kill the phantom. We can always use our knowledge of Mac's ordo-ness to our advantage later. Why kill off a perfectly good piece of cannon-fodder early?

Gwath:
Re: Night 2
Ok, well, let's kill the Phantom then. I doubt that he is the divo - surely our Mod wouldn't do anything so...obvious? Intuitive? Expected? I really couldn't say whether he's the cobbler or not, but I'm willing to risk it.

And, hey, Lariren, we can talk about WHATEVER we like in our PMs. But, yeah, you've got the right idea.

Plus I have a feeling Ilya and Boro are the lovers.

And tell me if that's not what this messaging is for.

Why him in particular? Do you think people are likely to listen to him? If so, then let's by all means kill him.

Him in particular because if he's the Seer, I'd love to knock him off now, and if he's not the Seer, it still keeps him from pointing out with such enthusiasm that I'm obviously evil.

I'm always willing to take my chances with "Would Fea have done that?" but I sort of hate not cleaning up threats while it's still easy to do so.

Ok, let's do it and see how it turns out.

Yes. We also want to kill someone smart, someone who is likely to bring unwanted direction and accuracy to the village.

Obviously, we do not want to kill either Mac or Aganzir just yet because of the suspicion they are under.

I don't want to kill Boro, because I think he might be the cobbler. He made a few comments toDay about Fea that made me wonder, so let's hold off on him.

What about Brinniel? Do you have any ideas?

I was thinking her or Sally or Kath, but Kath is the Diva so that doesn't help. I like going with Brinn, she thought we were both innocent on Day 2.
Ok, I'll send a message to Mith.

Gwath:
Night Stuff
No way are we killing Mac or Sally. They got votes toDay, which means they might draw votes toMorrow, and anyone who is going to draw votes who isn't us is someone we want to keep around. Let's kill someone who is not going to get lynched otherwise. Boro maybe?

Also, who do you think the cobbler is?

-Sir Gwathahad

Gwath:
Night
Oh yeah. Or we could definitely kill Aganzir, as you say. That would be a very very obvious lynch, and therefore attributable to anybody. They would have a hard time pinning it on us specifically.

Gwath:
Night Stuff
Hey Lariren, I'm sorry about my inbox being full! My internet has been down for the past 15 hours or something like that, so I couldn't do anything about it. I hope you just took the initiative and PMed a kill choice to Mithalwen.

-Gwath

And message I never actually sent to Gwath(his inbox was full):

Yeah thats the thing. She did accuse me when I teamed up with Mac to get Gollum(I just wanted him gone) but then I said I regretted my vote. And explained it all.

I think Agan would be a good kill, but I'm still having a hard time figuring out who the cobbler is. Part of me wants to say its Boro but then again he(he right?) been working a case against Kath.

Maybe it is Mac because he said he wasn't the divo.

Anyway I think Agan is a dangerous player at the moment but I'm up for her or Mac(because, really, we could then get Boro/Kath lynched for that).

PS: Gwath I totally freaked out at your vote. Especially since I wasn't going to be on the computer for that much longer.

You needn't have worried. I waited until the BD clock changed to GMT 6:59, counted to 35, and then voted.

Boromir you sly dog! By the way, I ALREADY KNEW I WAS A CRITIC! I really didn't need that piece of insight.~Fea
Hehe, but that piece of info helped me make probably my best decision the next spy.

Night 1: Mac (Ordo) - And that first post was without a doubt a "I'm the cobbler, wolves! I was the one who spied on Mac. Don't kill me" post.

Night 2: I had down to either tp or Fea, with all that trickery one had to be a wolf, and I did want to find at least one. I figured with all of tp's Walter talk, he would not draw that much attention to an ally if he was a wolf, so went with Fea. Found a critic.

Night 3: Kath (divo). I never spied on tgwbs, . I think I PMed Mith, that knowing Fea was a critic, tgwbs is either also one and they are planning a sacrifice. Or tgwbs is the seer and the wolves would be wise to get rid of him now anyway. So, instead of spying on him, I stumbled on the divo early.

Night 4: Agan (soulmate), and that is why I was planning such a monstrous defense for you. Cailin was right.

Night 5: sally. I thought Agan was going to get killed during the night, and this way I could have both Mac and sally as safe targets to go after during the day. But with Mac's death, I was down to sally, and after I spotted the stuff in Fea's post about Lari I was fairly confident she was one of the remaining critics. But between Gwath and Shasta I had no clue.

I thought I botched it the last day, because I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do. I thought about building a case against sally, with my presumed innocence, but didn't think I could milk that for another day. Then I thought I could reveal to be Walter and make it look like I knew sally and was trying to save her from the gallows. That was going to be difficult, and when Kath voted sally, it was a good escape, and hoped the two critics would help me.

After Lari voted for sally, I knew she was a wolf, I was still unsure about Gwath and was waiting on his vote, if he voted me we're good, if he voted sally, I was going to retract and vote for myself to end it. But hey didn't have to do that. Amazing job fellows.

Quote:
I told you I knew what you were up to, Boro.~tp
Haha, on Day 1 when you said me, Fea, and two others, and said something about probably being a critic and Walter in there, I was stunned. Mostly because it reminded me of Fea's game where you jumped on Brinn and Morm for the #of reps and unbeknownst had two wolves, you made a very similar comment and this time again.

Also, I thought when posted about me not being the Divo but an ordo who's trying to look like Walter, you knew by then for sure. And the shoe comment...well I walked right into that one.

So I was right about Gwath on Day1! I just didn't stick to it...

Cool game critics - and Walter!

And a fascinating concept Mith!

Hah, we opera-singers were just soo lousy!

Haha, I think it has become a rule now that in Mith's games the wolves win. Well I'm pleased to know that I was right about Boro. As for Lari - brilliantly played! I'm not even going to say especially for a newbie because pfft to that, she played better than many of us more experienced players I think!

It's strange, in one way I'm gutted that I missed out on the Day, it would certainly have been an experience! But then on the other hand I'm so, so glad because I know I'd have been climbing the walls if I'd had to sit and wait and watch.

I'm also ridiculously pleased that I got spied on, it makes me feel special.

So thanks for a fantastic game Mith! It was well worth the amount of time you've spent on it methinks, I loved the special roles. Even the soulmates one which could have gone to pieces a bit with Strongbow's disapperance gave us the tense ending to yesterDay!

Actually it is alternating ... the secret may be to have Boromir on your side but he didn't paly the first game. I never thought he would live so long when he annonced he was Walter with his first words - I couldn't believe my eyes. Did none of you google Walter Plinge?

Fea. Popping in without saying anything but that she's here.
Lariren. Popping in just to say she's here.

From now on I always stick to my day 1 suspicions.

I grew rather suspicious about Lari at the end of the last day when she said who the cobbler could have spied on & analysed the wolf kills. They just felt.. wrong. However I didn't have time to go through her posts & had more serious suspects as well.

Anyway thank you all, especially Mith. This game was really awesome and I enjoyed every moment.

Also, my apologies to Mac. I don't remember when I last did not suspect you.

Congrats for the victory, critics - I dare say you deserved it. Especially kudos to Lari - you were simply awesome.
