Oh look, the game's over. There's just one thing I don't understand - how did I die? I never picked the Old Witch as one of my guesses. Is there a rule I'm missing?

And thanks, Wilwa, for a cool game.

I think we night-killed you.

Oooooh. Ah ha ha ok I see.

Well, that last day I was alive was interesting. I was shocked to find myself dead, then I slapped my forhead. Hansel and Gretel! Duh! If I had been more careful I might have revealed earlier, but I wanted to play my cards close as long as possible and force people to actually vote without knowledge.

In my mind that would be what would tell the difference between the Baddie-Cobbler and actual Baddie-Wolves. The Wolves wouldn't be so afraid to vote for me, but the Cobbler would have almost no choice but to try and save me after my behavior the previous two days. The Cobbler is flying completely blind, and I figured that there'd be no way he could take the risk of lynching me after my act, even if he was starting to believe I was innocent.

And it worked! McCaber voted with me and Inzil voted against me.

Unfortunately our votes weren't what they seemed (something to do with the kids I assume) and I died instead of Nerwen, meaning I had to use my hunt on the second to last wolf that day rather than the last wolf the next night. Oh well.

It was still a blast. I've always wanted to go out like that.

I was lucky that Eomer had already voted for you! That's what I meant when I said your suspicious act might have worked too well.
The reason I killed Lari was that I had to assume she had chosen me, and her vote had not counted. All she would have had to do the next Day was tell you all and I'd be done. As it turned out, I think she had chosen Eomer, so his vote was double.

Don't remind me!

I blame myself for that. If I wouldn't have been such a slug and got out of bed at a decent time and made my case earlier in the day (the way I did later in the day), I think I could've gotten on Eomer's wavelength or at least got him to put off voting me for one day. He's played with me a lot and I think he'd have recognized some signs of sincerity. But yeah- when I woke up and saw that his vote was already cast and he was unlikely to return, I was sooooo ticked at myself.

The next day as the deadline approached I can't tell you how much I was hoping for Eomer to come riding in on his warg and save the day. But sometimes RL gets in the way of ME-L. Ah well. Risks don't always pay off.

And just because I think it's funny....

I posted this earlier in the game-

Quote:

And Nerwen, I really miss your odds! I was wanting to place some bets today.

How do these sound?

20-1: We lynch an Ordo.
24-1: There won't be a last minute voting flurry.
1-1: We lynch a Baddie.
9-1: Three people or more retract their votes.
5-1: Shasta puts on another "Phantom show".
24-1: These odds I'm giving are actually a coded message.

Yeah. The odds actually were a code.

Each number matches up with a letter in my first post. (20th letter of 1st paragraph is "H", 24th letter of 2nd paragraph is "U", etc etc.... spells out "HUNTER" when finished)

I didn't expect anyone to spot it. I did it just to amuse myself.
