Oh man. Great combined effort by the villagers and gifted. Good things happen when the gifteds aren't lynched, that's for sure.

Again, I was entirely too snarky on Day 1 there Bom. My aggravation was, not wanting to be lynched when I didn't have a pick on Night 1 and already having 1 vote from Glirdan. Day 1's are such a mess to get through, so entirely random it can really effect the outcome of the entire game, especially with our marvellous ability to lynch seers Day 1.

Speaking of seers, could not have had this win without you Eomer. No doubt about it.

Hunts-
Night 2 - McCaber
Night 3 - Shasta
Night 4 - Nerwen
Night 5 - Folwren

The days of the 2 "known" wolves I had considered taking a shot on someone else, since it would be likely Shasta and Nerwen would be getting lynched. However, I figured if I did that, and it just so happened the wolves killed me, and then if I chose wrong. That would be a real mess the next day. Especially with the way the wolves were spinning stories. I could picture it happening in my head. "See Eomer's lying, if I was a known wolf, Boro would have hunted me. He's dead I'm not, lynch Eomer!" I did not want to do anything crazy and make it hard on Eomer, so just stuck with who I believed were the known wolves on the off chance they had decided to kill me earlier.

Seriously wolves, you were spinning some great stories. There was a a good moment there where I was thinking "Nerwen's right, I'm going to be kicking myself. Eomer's so full of it." But in all these matter of reveals, in the end a choice has to be made. You just choose who you believe more. If you're right, yay. If not, go back and fix it the next day, and that's all you can really do. (If you don't know things like the Seer and wolves do).

I had actually been considering posting this before yesterday, but forgot that working til close meant I would not be around for DL. It's probably a good thing, as it may have effected whether Folwren wanted to risk killing me or not. Basically the post was going to look something like...

"I'm thinking Sally, because Eomer says she's guilty. But then she says she's innocent, and sally finds it absolutely impossible to lie...so she's gotta be?

Eonwe has been such a big help organizationally and thoughtfully, but then again he seems very involved and I can see him trying to manipulate the situation to make everyone feel good about him.

Folwren looked the most frustrated by what was happening with Nerwen and Shasta. Kind of like, she was not happy to be doing it, but she had to go along and lynch her compadres anyway."

It was pretty much down to those 3, because Bom was the ranger. And with the way Nerwen went after Eruhen, I was fairly confident he could not be the 3rd wolf.

I had not detected an ounce of evil in G55 at all. But who knows what I would have thought had Eomer not revealed? Because I was feeling really good about Shasta after he saved me, but that changed in the 2 seconds it took me to read Eomer's reveal post.

Last but not least. Lovely lovely game Lottie. I needed to get back to this, if only for a quick, simple game. Those can often times be the best.
