T-I-G LXVII: The Rangers of the North - The Fell Winter - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I will be more careful what I wish for next time arround. . .

As a wolf I normally get lynched on day2, so my mission was not to get killed on that day, of course I did not intend to last even shorter.

I was very depressed when killed, not only because I thought I would have the chance to cancel the lynch all together, but also because I really wanted to do well as a wolf. (something I have never done before)

Unfortunately i was undone by poor planing and chance. It was only late on in day1 that I realised that the way this game was constructed, encouraged wolves to lay somewhat low and not be hughe attention grappers. (because of all the hunters)
Anyways I felt quite confident that I could avoid getting lynched as long as i stayed arround until deadline, unfortunately I had to bring some stuff to my sister that was leaving for Rome, then on my way home the train got stopped by police on the tracks. . .(suicide?)
On my way home I debated with my self about what I would do if I did become captain, I was thinking that canceling the lynch on the basis of the votes being to random might make me look innocent.

-----------------------

I was very impressed with the wolves for the rest of the game, I never had the imagination to imagine such an amazing wolf victory. Well done!

And while I was amazed by the wolves, the rangers supplied me with lots of intertainment.

Thanks everybody for turning bitterness into amusement.

Not hours but definitely a few minutes because you were all like "look at every word" hahaha. I soon realized that unless you meant 'Roa Also Sorry' I had no idea what you meant.

Oh. Great job wolves. Mr. Mod may prove that when he told me who the wolves were (after I was dead, of course) my jaw dropped a long way and I said "They are so going to win." Sorry Roa for pursuing you! While it was very nice and enlightening to have a soulmate with whom I could discuss at all times, it proved a bit dangerous too - Legate and I ended up strengthening each other's wrong suspicions...

Seriously, though, this was a very interesting and fun game even if we lost quite spectacularly.

Indeed, that's one thing we've been doing a lot

I guess it worked similarly to a certain extent with Ni as well, not sure if it was mutual (but it seemed to me like that from her part). Of course if you see somebody of whom you know (or presume) that she is innocent, and she supports your ideas, then I guess the encouragement is just what you need to actually carry it out... it can work positively, of course, but also negatively, like with Roa's case. This game was a perfect example.

Thanks to everybody for providing me with such an action-packed read! I kicked myself black and blue for not playing, but I really don't know how I would have done if I'd been - that mysterious alliance between Nienna, Sally and Lottie on Day 4 did look rather scary for a while, and Gwathwolf sounded so sensible... Congrats to the wolves!
Roa, I quite enjoyed seeing you in action for the first time and am looking forward to playing with you in one of the next games.
Nog, I liked your special roles and rules, they added a lot of spice and pace to the game (witness the wholesale slaughter caused by all those Hunters!), and the narrations were really nice - but I've got to say, the Transsexuals of the North amused me no end!

See you all in Innsmouth?

Loslote · 09-29-2009, 01:23 PM

Ni and I thought Fea was a wolf in our Night Talk, too.

Really, wolves, if you had left her be, we would've lynched her anyway!

Nerwen · 09-29-2009, 08:47 PM

I only just managed to get back on line to find whether we'd won or not!

Gwath and Kath, thanks for the magnificent last minute defence... I hated having to vote so early, knowing I wouldn't be able to return and defend myself.

Honestly, on Night One I didn't think we wolves had much chance of winning this. Luckily the surplus of Hunters and the (nearly) all-star cast ended up working for us.

Oh, and thanks for being so open minded, Sally...

Lol. Hush, you. In the end I would have killed you, so watch it.
