WW: LXXXIV - Middle Earth in Fifteen Minutes

[Loslote]

So my options are between letting Nerwen, who I don't really suspect, die, or tieing the vote (and thus killing) Nessa, who I also don't suspect. Give me a minute here.

EDIT: xed with Sallycakes

DL is in ten minutes, right?

Well, it was originally, but yesterday I changed it to be an hour and a half later, since I started Day an hour and a half late.

...brilliant. I'm off to look at Nerwen and Nessa, then.

[Loslote]

I don't see anything too horribly suspicious about Nerwen, especially her later posts. There's a possibility of Nessa being a *teensy* bit off, but I do *not* want her lynched toDay. I'll probably be back to vote closer to DL.

In slight explanation for my defensiveness earlier - I blame teh Real Lifes. It was early. My brain was fuzzy, having not gotten its coffee yet.

Also, RL is to blame for my absence from then 'til now. Terribly busy afternoon/evening. But now that I'm as caught up as I can be...

++ Nerwen

She seems shady(est) to me at the moment. (Terribly sorry if I'm wrong.)

Well. I don't have to choose anymore, at least. I'm not tremendously pleased by this, but. As there's really no way to affect the vote now, I'm just going to go with

++Nog

because he looks worst to me.

Fair enough, but I think the Seer should consider checking out that trio I mentioned before.

Now that Elra's voted for me, it's not likely they're all three wolves– I mean, if she's a cub, her packmates would probably have told her, "hey, let's not all three vote for the same person".

Her vote's bad though, even for a newbie– she votes me for what? Poking at her earlier? And yet in the same breath she admits she was defensive!

Now, Nessa was of course in danger then– could Elra have been trying to save her?

I realise I'm not sure whether my role will be revealed on death or not, but anyway all of you who play with me regularly should know you'd never have got me this easily were I a wolf, so I think you may as well regard me as a known innocent toMorrow anyway. That should help.

[Loslote]

Also also?

I lied. I was never considering voting for either of them - I was going to vote for myself. That didn't end up working out, but it actually would have had the same result as it did the next Day - I would have hunted either Zil or Nog. The only difference was that, at that point, Zil was the more likely of the two.

Yaaasss!!!

I had a blast in this game. Great fun. More comments will follow later, but thanks to everyone who played and especially Shasta - who battled on despite connection issues.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Ah, well! So close!

But amazing game nevertheless, in fact, I haven't played such a brilliant game for some time! And I am not even sad for the loss, it was really cool to get that far.

Lommy, good job. You have been really active during the last few Days especially, and really successful in uncovering all the truths. It was really difficult to find some ways to counter you. I am proud of you

Elra, now that's what I call a first game, I think you can call yourself a great survivor. I mean, a memorable beginning for sure (it probably won't happen to you so often that you'd survive until the last Day). That said, I hope you enjoyed this and will continue WWing with us

My dear packmates! You have been both absolutely wonderful. You're a large part of why I have enjoyed this game so much. Zil, a pity that you had to go, but still I think you have been around long enough to make up for our last Wolving together. It was a decent enough retribution, I'd say. Wilwa, you were brilliant too, and definitely supplying us with good ideas during the Nightly planning. I am really sorry for having a hand in lynching of you both, but I assume there was no other way... in the second-but-last Day, I was thinking of impersonating the Ranger, but I couldn't have known whether Nessa is not the Ranger (and known innocent contesting me would mean a clear end to any impersonations), and later I have decided that it is perhaps better to rely on that Nessa or Lommy are going to choose wrong. Alas, they didn't.

A few things I would generally like to bring to peoples' attention, which I think all of us Wolves found rather funny:

There have been quite many votes for a fellow Wolf. I have voted for both of my packmates.

Me and Wilwa have voted for a fellow Wolf at exactly the same point and cross-posted (it wasn't any problem, by voting him we have expected to have him gone, it was just interesting to find we have done so at the same point. A pity this hasn't been considered the sign of innocence more strongly). For that matter, I don't know exactly what the mindsetting of my fellow WWs was, but it was certainly not a plan to get rid of Inzil that Day from the beginning, it was just like "if it happens, we are going to sacrifice him". Sadly, it happened.

Already on Night 1, Wilwa brought up the idea to make the village lynch the Hunter on Day 1, as we also considered it advantageous if it was done. I think we were a bit doubtful whether such a suggestion won't be considered suspicious, but in the end as we see, there have been so many ideas and perspectives flying around that being suspected for something was completely out of the way. Anyway, before wilwa could do it, Lommy proposed exactly the same thing. Once again shows how relative the advantage of different outcomes was.

And it seems to have become a tradition for me that whenever I am a Wolf and on one of the last Days I target one of the sisters, I do so because I think they are not the Hunter, yet they are, yet they don't target me. In my first game, the same thing happened with Lommy. This time, okay, we have been considering the possibility that Greenie is the Hunter, but more like in brackets; and I had a rather elaborate reasons why I thought she was the Ranger. Totally off, of course. That said, at least I have been thinking for quite some time that Lommy could be the Hunter.

Speaking of knowing other roles, Eomer, we have of course discovered you must be the Seer as early as the Ranger did, and we thought the Ranger did too, but we targeted you still, just to be on the safe side. And that said, I didn't like you since the beginning, but we wanted to go for a safe kill the first Night (indeed, in order to "throw the ball" back to the village), and next Night, it was already too late.

Anyway, it was a perfect game, from everybody; and of course most thanks go to our poor-internet-disconnection-pursued Mod The Heir role surely was something special, and I personally have enjoyed the early Days' debates "what the heck are we going to do?"

[Nerwen]

Yay, Lommy!

And Elra, congratulations on surviving to the end. Sorry I picked on you. It was fun, though...

No worries, Nerwen, I forgive you! I'm enritely astonished that I survived as long as I did.

Bravo, Lommy for lynching the wolf!

This was lots of fun. When can we do it again?

[wilwarin538]

Ooh, soooo close. Good job Lommy, you deserve the win. Especially the way you somehow managed to make an extremely solid case against me that I didn't even see coming, and could not think of a way to argue out of.

That whole game was so crazy! I wasn't around much at the beginning, so most of the time I just skimmned through the thread and the WW PMs, haha, I didn't even really know why they wanted to kill Sally, I was just like "sure, yeah, great idea". Then me and Legate both voting for Inzil at the exact same moment, that was kind of priceless. I wish Inzil didn't have to go, but at the point it just seemed highly likely that he would, so I decided voting him early would look good for me, and Legate thought the same thing. Kind of like the way he voted me yesterDay, he's just a little backstabber.

I really wish you guys had lynched LRH instead of Boro, cause I think if Lommy had had to choose between me, Legate and him, she would have chosen him, and we would have won! Oh well! And Greenie was a bit of a gamble actually, it was really me who was utterly convinced she was the Ranger, so when Legate was like "well, if she's the Hunter she could be going for me, it'd be risking my life" I was all like "whatever, she's not anyway, so I'm choosing her" with no consideration for him! Clearly as wolves the two of us only care about our own survival.

Anyway, that was very fun! Kudos to Eomer for getting a wolf and leaving wonderful hints, and to Lottie for sacrificing herself for the good of the village. And Shasta of course, for an extremely exciting game, and a wonderful new role!
