Don't be too bothered, after all it just proves werebear rules #1 thru #642 (excluding #214 and #495):

Mira's lack of strategy is supremely better than Borangutan's attempt to come in with a plan for the werebear.

Hey I had a strategy! Kill the people who annoyed me.

My mistake, I completely misread it.

"This crazy bear...I think her name was Mira, came up with an infinitely superior strategy than what Borangutan could ever possibly come up with."

[Pitchwife]

Fea and Sauce, you're a pair of evil, scheming, unconscionable, brilliant cuties! All is fair in Love and Werewolf, of course, and you played your cards splendidly. I really hated having to miss Day 3, even more when I came back, saw what had happened in the meantime and found myself D.O.A. just when the game got truly exciting - but it was great entertainment to read, and I bit my nails in suspense how it would all turn out. Congratulations on a magnificent performance and a deserved victory!
Same to the Wolves. If I'm permitted to quote myself -

Indeed. Near the end of Day 2, I had this horrible hunch that she was right (so good decision to kill me when you did!), but just couldn't lay my finger on sufficient evidence, being way too tired at the time. When Greenie was revealed as the cobbler*, I naturally doubted my suspicion, but my death pretty much confirmed it. Don't know how it would have gone if I'd survived for another Day - you might have succeeded fooling me again, especially with your reactions to the Lovers' reveal. Reading Nog's fervent pleas on behalf of the innocents, I found myself thinking, 'He'd never be such a flaming hypocrite if he were a wolf, would he?' But of course you would - what a cunning way to sound Fea's and Sauce's true intentions, and great acting!
*(I'm very curious whether she actually spotted you two as wolves and did it on purpose, counting on herself to be lynched so that the suspicion she'd voiced would be discredited when her role was revealed.)
Brinn, congrats on eluding me completely! You were a worthy packmate to our two loudmouths. And when you drew attention to Greenie's suspicion of Nog and Roa, was that a deliberate attempt to find out who would take the bait and need to be killed?
McCaber, finally, was the ultimate pawn sacrifice. Nice wolf-on-wolf there.
Boro - seems the Bear is an endangered species these Days, but at least you had a juicy last meal devouring our Seer.
Condolences and respect to all my fellow innocents, especially Nerwen and Zil who showed us how to lose a game gracefully. Out of curiosity, Morsul, who would you have Hunted if you hadn't been lynched?

I second that. It's largely a matter of luck, and staying alive long enough (which is the trickier part).

[Morsul the Dark]

, Morsul, who would you have Hunted if you hadn't been lynched?

once again without much to go on Nerwen would have been my vote she's very clever it was really either her or Roa they're good at Seeming reasonable...

[Loslote]

Good job, Wolves. Lovers, you made me mad, but good game.

[Inziladun]

I almost protected you the night you got it, Lottie. But somehow Nog still looked better.

*is flattered* Hey, you haven't seen Nerwolf in action yet...

I am not clear why you would think this necessary, though. It was clear that our best interests by the stage that we revelaed were in allying with the Wolves. We were completely honest about our intentions and made no bones of the fact that we would have sought alliance with the Innocents had that been in our best interests.

Um, I think that the outcome of this game proves otherwise.

Yes, and it can get infuriating sometimes that the more vocal you are, the more you participate in the game, the easier you are to lynch. I felt that way a bit on Day 1, when it seemed that everyone (and Roa in particular) was seizing on whatever I said and using it against me.

That is he has to spend his whole life on the forum dedicated deleting and banning other spammers...kind of an ironic punishment.

Actually, the bit about the female Dwarves is correct. And Boro is half right in that I have (not unfairly) acquired the reputation as a rather verbose poster, in WW games in particular. I try to fight against it, but I think that it's just in my nature ...

Oh, and that reminds me. Roa, I take it that your admonishment to me as a forum moderator was part of the act (I hope it was), but I should point out that I have not been a mod here for over two years.

Talking of spam, I must get round to sorting out those Lovers' letters ...

Thanks! That was the meaning behind the act... I was kind of ovr-playing it as it looked like it was something we needed and for the principle I had to keep the act as we wwere not sure of the lovers' intentions... and it was fun to overdo it! Had it been tighter I would probably been a bit less "obvious".

It worked anyway!

And my apologies to you Pitch for us to kill you at that stage, but you were one who could have been able to make right deductions but as you were away you had not said anything - so a perfect kill for us...

Heh, that's werewolf.

Absolutely! But the funny thing is that after Roa called for a "strong player" to be killed - favouring Spm - I was actually the one who said we should pick you instead, if we had to do that.

I mean I'm still to that old-fashioned "let the threathening people live" -school who is more for a real struggle against an easy win (which of course is never free or easy whatever the set-up is). So I was absolutely against killing Saucie as it would have been also plain unfair him being killed after the first Day of the game second time in a row after a long pause thus making him not able to participate the actual game at all. So I just half-jokingly said we should pick Boro instead as he has been such a pain in the... if we were taking down a "loudmouth" who could be a problem.

And after waking up to a new Day I realised Brinn and Roa had decided going after you (Brinn agreeing with my reasons to leave Spm live).

It looks like me and Brinn are the only remaining romantics of this game...

It's not that being killed/lynched early = you played bad, a lot of it depends not only on who is playing, but what roles they have.

Exactly. And also some people tend to get killed early on by either side - just to be sure... or dreamt of by the seer early on... Which is kind of a bad thing if you were one of those, but with which one has to live with.

You were actually crucial to our win - whether you wanted it to happen that way or not... Whatever your reasons to post that little or say what you did in the few posts you made aided us as a team a long way! So kudos for that!

[Pitchwife]

Hey, no need to apologize - I would have done the same. In a way, I take it as a compliment.
Which reminds me, I forgot to compliment and thank Mira and Nienna for their modding - how rude of me! Great theme, a mix of roles that guaranteed an interesting and surprising game, and very well handled (never mind the narrations). Thank you both!

Evidently Nog was not around for the end of the game. Have you not seen Fea and SPAM?

Why do you call him SPAM instead of SPM?
