Tol-in-Gaurhoth CIII: Big Magic in Middle Earth Arcane Encampment (Game Thread)

I would not have let Greenie go after that completely evil vote she pulled. That was eeeevilll. But then you folks went along with it and all I could think about after witnessing my bandwagon lynching:



(Although I understand SeerLottie's reasoning and in the end...my gameplan as an ordo is to always die at somepoint if it means the gifteds are not dying). Go village. And woot sally (nearly forgot great-bad pun on Echo

I think it's incredible that you all lynched useful people like Legate and Boro instead of me. Hopefully that'll be the case next time I happen to be on the other side.

I was the Ranger. I protected Cop that Night 'cause it looked like she was going to Hunt someone I thought to be innocent. Worked out pretty well for us in the end!

I think whoever it was was probably safe from me, since at least the way I was interpreting the rules, I couldn't successfully night kill anybody who wasn't a sorcerer. But thanks for the save! It definitely worked out well. Credit goes to you for confusing the wolves and Lottie for dreaming of Greenie at the best possible time.

Oh, she was a non-logical Hunter! I missed that in Sally’s description, and I think the wolves must have too.

No, it was a bit of both. The description says that the Pact Mage ability kicks in if they're harmed by the person they selected (or if the person selected is a sorcerer), so the only time I could have killed an innocent is if I was killed during the Day and the person I was hunting had voted for me. If I'd been hunting an innocent during the Night and I was Night killed by sorcerers, the innocent wouldn't have done me any harm, so they wouldn't have died.

Hear, hear!

Well, I enjoyed it while it lasted. Though as usual, or in fact, I believe this time more than usual, those who actually said I was "suspicious" were completely pulling it out of nowhere (and they even weren't Wolves). I would also like to use this opportunity to point out that I have been consistently voted out during Day 1 in several past games, and whereas it lifts the burden of bothering oneself with future analyses on next Days, it gets a bit tedious. I might consider a different approach, but I think lynching on the basis of... nothing... also plays its part. (As in, the only semi-valid argument I saw against me was "he posts things without any substance", which, of course, got me lynched as opposed to about ten other people, who did exactly the same, except they didn't, unlike me, post anything else of substance. But as we know, that's how Werewolf works. )

But congrats to the village, and the Wolves too (it was going well for you folks in the beginning, but then the Gifteds started playing their best cards). It was fun to follow the game. And also, hope our first-time and long-time-no-see-players enjoyed this, and most of all, hope this game reignited the interest in WW... hint hint?

Despite being occasionally very frustrated, I actually enjoyed this game very much. It was so fun to play with you all again, it's been too long! Thanks everyone, you made it great.

The gifted did all a great job, and my hats off to the wolves too - you had some bad luck along the way.

Also, I know I shouldn't gloat, but I'm seriously impressed with myself in this game despite talking in circles, helping in getting innocent!Boro lynched and being quite certain Eönwë is the seer.
