Good job, Lommy and Kit - the village was close!

And even better job, Cop, Boro, and Nerwen with the win!

Apologies to Legate and Nog for being completely wrong.

Ack, after Shasta was modfired I had a bad feeling this just might happen. Hats off to Cop though - had I been there without a clue last Day I can't say I'd have got it right. I was virtually suspecting everyone of you (yes, even having second thoughts about Sally) and I dreamed of Kath the last Night so you could say it was a similar choice to yours. Also, well done Nerwen and Boro, I'm not very confident I would've got you guys either had I not had some advantages on my side.

And I don't want to boast (but I do!), but I think I have a pretty badass track record as the seer. I have always (I think I've been the seer 4-5 times) made it far enough to reveal and either won the game for the village or given them at least two wolves. The seer just might be my favourite role. (To counterbalance my bragging, I have more or less messed up the couple of times I was a ranger or a hunter. Not so good at that. And I suck at lying so I'm not the best of wolves either. )

It was so fun to play after a long time, so a big thank you to Inzil for modding! I also enjoyed the narrations very much. And thanks to everyone who played too, of course. You bunch are always great. I hope the next village is a bit more chatty though, this was at times too quiet to my taste - I guess that's what you get for lynching Legate on Day1 and Nogrod on Day2.

Well, well, well! Despite my all too early demise, I followed the game (later mostly through Lommy's reports) and it was quite fun. All hail Inzil, in any case, for awakening the sleeping forum, and creating a very good setting (the Maniac turned out pretty good, I think!).

Of course congratulations to the remaining Wolf for wriggling herself out of the situation with the last counter-reveal, that was quite a feat. Of course I am sad for the village not winning, because I think (despite lynching me) it was a good job. So especially commendations to Kitanna for well-timed reveal and even more to Lommy for nailing down two Wolves and remaining alive long enough to tell about it.

Apology accepted, captain Needa... everyone is entitled to mistakes.

But only a note regarding this, it's been probably my, something like, third game among the last ones when I was lynched on Day 1, and one more game among probably something like my last six games played where I didn't live past Day 2. Or somesuch. Well, I at least hope this trend won't continue too long. I would expect people to notice that if the grounds they used several times for suspecting me have proved wrong, it isn't a good lead to determine my wolvery.

I was actually so confident you would be trusted, I had the end of Day narrative written to reflect that. That's why it took me so long to have it done.

I'll try to get the list of dreams, saves, and kills for those who might be interested.

Congrats, wolves!

I can't say I've paid that much attention to the game but I skimmed it every now and then, even read a post or two. One of these posts was Kath's, and I thought: I have no clue what she's talking about, but she's definitely a wolf. Sorry! *sheepish look* But after your reveal I decided that you're the real Ranger and not Cop. Huh.

However, since Cop had to either kill or "lynch"/Day-kill Kit, would she not also have to be dead? So could it be a no-person win?

I actually considered that. But it hardly seemed fair to Cop to deprive her of a win just because the Maniac happened to be the last Innocent left.

It was definitely one of the more interesting games I've been involved with, despite the relatively low post count.
Like others have noted, I blame that on the players for taking out the Finnish contingent so quickly.

I don't think my track record for the last games is that bad - but I think it's close. So, hear, hear!

But yes, it was fun to play a game for a long time - even if it was a shortish one for me. So kudos to Inzil - and others who pushed for a game to played again.

And congrats to the wolf-trio, not only for winning but winning quite neatly taking into account Lommy's masterful seership (*hurray!*)! When lynched I could have bet that Kit and Sally at least are wolves... so maybe it was better I wasn't around anymore to confuse others with my mistaken ideas.

Let's have another one during the summer, shall we? Maybe a bit more vocal one as well perhaps?

Actually, I had concluded that Lommy couldn't be the Seer, mainly because of her continued suspicion of Sally... famous last words.. It didn't occur to us that she, too, might have been using Sally for cover. (Poor Sally!)
