Speaking for myself, I think it was about the right amount. I think it actually lasted long enough to be lots of fun, longer than I expected (for the good). And I think it's natural to assume that people wouldn't really continue with it on Day 2 (or even less, following days) since they will be already focused fully on the game. So yeah, it was fun (with some really really hilarious lines)

Whew! What a game!

It was hard accepting being the Cobbler, since I really wanted to play as honestly as I could. So I decided to do so except for strategising my dreaming-pattern. Due to the game causing loads of stress on my bohemian lifestyle and vice-versa, I wanted to keep it short. I hoped to come out as the Seer on around Day4 offering all the remaining wolves. But I couldn't find a proper suspect and decided that Night1 I dreamed of an Innocent Morsul and Night2 of, like many guessed, Rikae. I did hope on being a rather too obvious Seer who could seem more plausable after the revelation, or if not, turn the discussion to the topic at the least. This game I pretty much reread only Day1 before my death while trying to be uninfluenced by others' analyses, which left me outside the current discussion.

I honestly thought Boro and Gil looked most suspicious during Day2, or Gifted.

There's loads of nostalgia towards the game, and once in a while I'm reminded to return to it, always trying to refresh my attitude. But I think this was truly the last game I play, since the feeling of being in a hurry and talking grammatically dubious nonsense due to that doesn't sound appealing, and stressing out for days due to a potentially broadly educating game and seeing people I want to have fun with become frustrated sounds even less enjoyable. These WWs are really interesting and plain weird reading, but I think I'll rather play live-WW myself. With loads of stuff going on and rather not knowing what happens next day, I prefer really taking the time to play WW for hours and nothing else and not having it stretched out for over a week.

There was loads of good playing and it was a pleasure to see many familiar faces improved and perceptive and motivated newcomers. I've learned loads on this forum and found your company interesting and inspiring - starting with not having another place to acquaint myself with such an international, varied and yet well-mannered lot. It is still time to move on.
Have great times!

Volo, I hate that we went after you, but you played your pseudo-Gifted part all too well.

I really hope this isn't your last game, though. I myself find that it's become increasingly difficult to find the time for WW, though it's not as major an issue when I'm an Ordo. It seems that things for me RL are rather routine when I'm not involved in a game, but as soon as one begins things start popping up.

Still, I have fun flailing about and messing with minds regardless of my alignment, and if I'm fated to be early lynch-fodder, so be it.

I hope you'll reconsider, and play again one day.
