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?

Great job as the cobbler, Boro! I thought it might be you, but I really wasn't sure - and I was quite scared of you on the last day.

Boro: I tried to tell you I was a critic when I pretty much listed who you spied on. I had forgotten about Mac...until I read through all the spied on messages I got.

And Fea will attest to my whole sort of flipping out on Day 1(I kind of screamed and was worried...a lot) when Agan posted about who she randomly thought was guilty...and listed all of us. She was right the first Day.

By the way, I don't know if I did say this but really great game everyone!

And I think I might have been the only one not to google Walter.

Incidentally, did anyone ever figure out my quote?

I just wondered if anyone had got it and I'd missed it.

(And I made my 1k post and didn't realize it. So yay me~!)

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.

I mean there will be no mercy from me to anyone who appears suspicious on Day1. They have been too often proved to be the wolves for me to skip that piece of information any more. So I'm going from this on after those who look suspicious whatever their track-record is and how unfairly they have been lynched early this far.

*blushes*bows* I'm pretty sure my whole tactic was to play the innocent newbie.

And I was trying to tell Boro that I was a wolf/critic. With the people that Boro spied on that is.
