I guess I should have realized, but I already fake-revealed/hinted as so many roles that it wouldn't have made a difference at that point. But I should never have underestimated your skills with this game. That's some first-class Ranger scheming, if I may be a judge in such matters.

Some first-class Seer-scheming also. You fooled the wolves, after all.

Final DL. You all can keep talking, though. Inzil was lynched and is the final wolf () and the game is over. Final narration to follow.

Fooling myself half a dozen times in the process. Realistically, we weren't supposed to win, I wasn't supposed to dream of both wolves, and I certainly wasn't supposed to survive to tell the tale considering how many blunders I've made. I don't get how that happened. I seriously have the feeling that I've just been part of one of these comedy films where despite everything going ridiculously wrong everything ends up right.

Legate. At first I thought to bluff and dream someone else, and try to piece Legate together based on reactions, but then I thought that the wolves could bluff and double bluff too, and I wouldn't get the picture anyways, and what if I'm killed/lynched and everyone thinks Legate is wolf while he's really innocent... so I ended up dreaming him.

sally, what did you bribe the Psychic Man with to get him to share his secret?

Ah, but let me tell you my reaction last Night, after learning the result of the lynch. Even though I'd been inclined to trust you, I thought your stated reason for saying Legate was a wolf rested on some pretty dubious assumptions. And yet– he was a wolf. "Luck?" I asked myself. "Or– could it be that G55 is actually the Seer? That would be awesome!" And so it was.

EDIT:X'd with final narration.

In that case, I suppose I'm simply glad you were not the wolf.

That was my thoughts exactly, except that I first thought she must be an unlucky cobbler and then I figured out she must be a lucky seer and I thought everyone figured that out before me. Sorry for playing suspicious on the last Day though, I thought it might be the only way to help you (Gal) survive the game longer! Fortunately that wasn't necessary.

You simply overestimated my wolf-finding skills. Although, to be fair, I voted Inzil on Day1 on gut-feelingy reasons and before I rechecked the votes on Day3 I suspected him too on gut-feelingy reasons. So seems I have a good inzildar but I just shouldn't mix logic with it.

Glad I had something right. Anyway, am I imagining things, or are you always protecting her on Night2?

Now I need a new game! This was certainly too short and "easy" to satisfy my werewolf-hunger.

Indeed. We'd discussed getting her Night 2, but decided she was a likely protect.

You were a last-minute pick as the possible Ranger.

I took the chance that my attack on Legate would deflect attention away from me long enough to allow me to get her.

[Inziladun]

For those keeping track, that's two games in a row a wolf-me has been dreamt.

Well, what can I say? Shasta knows his business far better than I do.

And my scheming only began after the fact... and was quite pointless in the end because it was based on a false assumption.

After being lynched and guessing then Lottie kindly satisfying my curiosity on the roles. I thought

"woah, both wolves voted for me...Risky but that was probably going to be their best chance to lynch me and while the opportunity was there they might as well take it."

And of them, I was convinced Legate's vote looked the furriest...Shasta's had been reasoned as sort of the best choice in a bad set of options for him, and while your vote shocked me the most could have been explained away as self-preservation.

Then upon hearing G55 dreamed you the previous night I was sad-facing because the dynamics had been setting up I just couldn't tell what would happen next. Both wolves voted the same Day 1...Inzil casts a critical vote for Legate and the cobbler also voted for the wolf.

I was dreaming up a scenario that if Inzil could possibly pull off a convincing case G55 was the cobbler there remained a small chance. But that also meant G55 could not be killed, or the gig was up, and you would also have had to identify the cobbler to somehow get on the same page. So really...no chance, but I was semi-rooting for you today. (In the end avenging my unjust lynching wins out. Fantastic job, go village!)
