I was like "No innocent would have led that lynch. No way."

Well, well. And to think on that Night I did consider Sally. But then I thought, "Nah, they wouldn't be that obvious". Just as well...

However– last Night, when it was fairly clear Sally was in fact the Ranger, I partly based my decision to try and kill her on the fact that she might have felt the need to protect herself the Night before, after the way she'd stuck her neck out. I think that's a rare example of 20/20 hindsight actually being useful.

But as I said, good job hiding, both of you. I was getting quite mad at myself, as I rather pride myself on my gifted-spotting.

*bows, applauds you in return for some rather good wolfing*

To be honest, I'm not sure I would have gotten you the last Day anyway; I'd passed over Nogrod for sure and was leaning toward innocent on Lommie, but Morsul had done so much for the wolves (and to me, honestly) that I couldn't imagine him being innocent. I thought maybe we had a cobbler after all. Then again, I had you pegged as my other suspect, and knew that if the wolf wasn't Morsul they'd certainly kill him because I was the only one who really suspected him. I said to Legate last Night that I was making a grave mistake but was fine with dealing with the consequences. At least I didn't protect you.


And again, I was killed at Night and the wolves won. My streak remains intact. If I'm wrongfully lynched the village loses, if I'm Night killed the village loses, but if I survive to the end....erm, I normally screw up. But not all the time, so I take comfort in the fact that I played a fairly decent game and had a darn good time.


Cookies to anyone who can find all my hints; there were quite a few, so I'm surprised I lasted as long as I did.


Oh, and a point of interest. Shasta and I had decided that if at any point we were forced to reveal we would do so in reverse, with him as the ranger and I as the hunter. This would hopefully dissuade wolves from killing me and allow him to do his duty while protecting me at the same time, at least for a Day or two. Alas, it never came to that, but I thought it was quite a clever plan.

First, I don't know that I deserve the compliments I've received, but thanks to each of you regardless. I had fun towards the end, after calming down a bit, and I'd like to think I've made some friends here.

To Shasta: To be honest? After I found that bit from Nog in the '07 game, I did spend a while wondering if maybe Lottie or Legate just forgot to PM us or something. I rejected that theory before long(between that post and the next, I forget where exactly), but do keep in mind that not every time I did something newb-ish was disingenuous. It's my first game, after all. I would have pursued that as an innocent, and ironically because of the WAY I died this game means I wouldn't have died for it, but... Not how things turned out.

Other honest mistakes: The bit with the ranger dying? Yeah, I screwed up there. With the role posted right in the admin thread, no less. Day 1 no lynch idea? Honest curiosity, and I had to laugh a little every time extended that question further to be "Bes didn't want a day one vote, this is SUSPICIOUS. " I'd be willing to bet that an observant reader could pick out where I was and wasn't making honest mistakes, in retrospect. Ah well.

Also: *hugs Lottie, Shasta and Sally* No hard feelings about the Lottie-lynch, I hope.

Of course not! You were a wolf; you were supposed to want that. I'd expect nothing else.


And kudos on being such a good wolf cub! I thought you were blaringly obvious as a wolf but that's because I pick up weird stuff and thought you were being more than just new. Nevertheless for your first game you performed splendidly and I hope you'll join games in the future (including my upcoming one)!

[satansaloser2005]

Incidentally....Boro, why did you self-sacrifice? I've been wondering because it seemed so silly to me, but I know you must have had some clever reason or something. I would have loved to sacrifice someone else but alas your fate was sealed pretty quickly. Explanation? Please?

I couldn't answer you honestly just yet about whether or not I'll join that one. It's an interesting game, and can be fun-- when you have time for it. I honestly didn't in the first few days, lots of unexpected obligations during day periods. We'll see!
