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?

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!

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.

Even if I thought it quite sad the game ended that soon, in retrospect I must say it was a good thing as I've been totally work-beaten the last two days and wouldn't have been able to mod anything in any "serious way"...

Looking at it from the brighter side: no one had a chance to get bored.


Putting up a bit experimental game is always challenging but it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed this.

Thanks everyone!

Just a few specials...

Nienna & Lottie, you were just impressive in the end! As well as Gwath!

It was interesting - even if sad - to see Rune go so early for kind of "wrong reasons" - if one could say that. I mean, everyone who has played with him would say that he acted perfectly like Rune, meaning there was nothing suspicious or special in his behaviour and thence no reason to lynch him on Day1. He would have probably pulled the same act were he innocent.

It was nice to see both Valier and Roa back in action after a long break. Hoping to see you again sooner than later! It's always a pleasure to have you in a game.

And kudos to Lommy for a stupendous last-Day defence and getting the wolves spot-on! I couldn't believe it wasn't enough... I'm quite confident that if Nerwen had been lynched the innocents would have won the game.

Heh... I must say I smiled a few times while writing them... thinking about a weather-beaten, hairy, bearded and muscled Ranger named Greenie...

Well, why not. I mean, "Greenie" could be a very good nickname for a ranger, imagine soldiers giving nicknames among themselves. And as for beards, well, we have seen the real Greenie with a moustache, so...
