Neener.

Neener.

Okay, I've been dead all game so I'm allowed to gloat just a little.

Legate: False Day One was a great idea. Except for the part where I definitely didn't get to kill anyone. Basically I'm still trying to see how that could work out in the advantage of the wolves, and I'm not sure if you did anything specifically to balance that fact out (unless you want to consider the lack of seer).

Pitch, and everyone else: No, I was not trying to get myself lynched on Day OnePointFive. I had actually managed to maintain a sufficient level of cognitive dissonance that I half thought I was an innocent during the Daytime. So I was extraordinarily ticked that the one time I got lynched for... well, playing as I would as an innocent, I happened to be a wolf! Grrrrrrr...

It also meant, Nerwen, that I was pretty mad at you for being the only person online when I could actually talk, which meant that if I wanted to talk about anything I had to focus on your attacks on me, which made me look even more suspicious.

But basically, to explain, this is all true stuff about me as a lurker/player:

1). I can do great stuff in theory.
2). I am terrible at putting this theory into practice. It is nearly impossible for me to find wolves.
3). Whenever I analyze players it always tells me more about me than it does about them.
4). I purposely withhold from playing WW until I think I have the time and mental energy to commit to it (after this game, deadline is going to affect this as well. I really was not my best near the end of day because I was distracted because of classes going on. I cannot multitask for the life of me). This is also so I won't lose the zeal for the game when this sort of thing happens. I love love love getting first post in for each Day, even though it means nothing and can actually make me look suspicious. So, yeah, when regular players get as bouncy as Mnemo-oh-my-Valar-I'm-playing-Werewolf-again, I get nervous.

So no wonder I was upset about getting lynched over all these things rather than anything that could actually point to my being a wolf.

It could of course also be that the cognitive dissonance thing just wasn't enough and my subconscious can't handle being anything other than an innocent. But I can't see myself playing any other way. And of course I never lived long enough to find out.

So, yeah, I was pretty ticked when it happened. Especially at Nerwen. But man, when everyone was all, "Nerwen's totally innocent now, kthx" (a reputation which mostly, I think, lasted throughout the game) and people dropped some Pitch suspicion I forgave them all in a heartbeat.

Oh, and finally...

This was my third game as a player, people. You are not allowed to give other relatively new players a pass on newbishness in the actual game and not give it to me.

I really still have mixed feelings about my time in the game... My schedule wouldn't allow me to play in the next round anyway, but even if it did I'd probably skip out just so that I could max out my zealometer again.

Finally, sally: remind me to kill phantom when we see him next.
