Ha! I guessed Cab had dreamed Shasta as an ordo, but obviously didn't want to parade that when the village was so happily considering me as a dreamed innocent! Anyway, thanks for a great game, everyone! (And sorry Legate.)

Thank you again, Agan, for calling time and putting together a narration that captured the spirit of this village.

And thank you to everyone who played.

Legate - I will not vote for you on Day 1 next game we play together, not after witnessing that unfortunate lynch this time.

Wolves - I honestly thought you would sweep through up until Zil voted Sally. Good job.

McCaber - your seering was superb. I was impressed when you got two wolves back to back only to be done in that night.

I am sorry for missing the first day. It didn't occur to me that the game would start so (relatively) quickly! I was so excited to play again, and then I just acted the Cassandra.

Oh, do I have to? It's really rather embarrassing.

I'll dig out those PMs and post them in the morning, along with my other merry thoughts. Good job and well played to all, especially my two partners, who were beyond fantastic. Until toMorrow.

Thanks for the (however short on my part) game, Kitanna! I really pity I didn't have more time to play here, especially I would have wanted to see how I fare as a Ranger (haven't really done much of that throughout my WW career). But hey, somebody has to die on Day 1, and the whole thing came in terrible rush. (It was just ridiculous because I was so certain I was not going to be lynched, because of the two people left to vote, one didn't have originally any specific case against me, and one specifically listed me among people she does not want to get lynched But we've cleared that up.)

But, brave fight from the village in the last Days, and likewise from the Wolves. And such sad bad luck from the Seer. Two Wolves known in the village would really have made the difference. A pity at least if the hints about the dreams hadn't been clearer, too, because the village could have saved itself some trouble... since despite the attempts to be careful with hints, the WWs had anyway picked up the trail based on the general remarks. Well, obviously also a Seer without the Ranger around is much less safe than normally, since at the moment you're revealed, you are dead.

It was good to follow the game for a while, anyway, and especially good to see lots of people returning. I hope this won't mean the end of it and that we can look forward to more. I certainly am.

Thank you for the game, Kitanna, and congrats wolves! Well played!

I'm so so sorry about lynching you, Legate. You remember the song Inzil posted on day 1? I thought it was a seer hint ("if you could see what I see...") and didn't want to risk lynching him. So I did what I'm best at and acted chaotically - I wanted to look like the seer who had dreamed Inzil innocent (funnily enough I really trusted him and Legate from the start, just as I equally distrusted sally and Algae from the start) and was quite obvious about it (newbie pass, I thought, because in these 7.5 years of sporadic WW, I've never been the seer) and didn't even consider what Algae pointed out later about me missing night 1; and I also wanted to give the impression I was the Wildcard although I didn't think there was one. All this worked well enough because I was killed - not always my goal but quite entertaining to do at times.

I really enjoyed playing and watching this so thanks everyone!

Yeah, I really never thought about that line in the song! I was punchy from being tired, and just felt like putting up a good tune.

My aim was to simply be confusing, and hopefully take attention away from the Gifteds and allow them to get on with business. Since I tend to be a rather clueless wolf-hunter, I thought that might be my best way to contribute.

So all the ordos pretend to be gifteds and the gifteds are the first to go. That's the spirit!
