I knew it! But of course the wolves were those who were already trying to get me lynched...

Sorry for suspecting you Eomer, but your analysis of the narrations seemed close but off just the right amount that I thought you were in the know and trying to misguide.

Yeah we dead weren't too happy about it, especially not about the updated version...

But proves again that the evil team were on top of their game.

Yeah, the way the lists were being done later on were starting to bother me, but due to RL issues I wasn't able to be around to do anything about it.


Also, on the last Day I was hunting Legate, which meant that when it came to the DL, I was actually hoping that the empowerment was going to go for one of the votes against me, which was not something I expected.


Also, Nerwen, what did you do on Night 5? I couldn't work it out. Just a scry?

[Eönwë]

And last Night was definitely the most stressful WW-Night I've had in years...

Believe me, you weren't the only one. It surely was for me as well.

Yes- it was a toss-up between Nogrod and Legate, and unfortunately I chose Nogrod.

[Nerwen]

Nog, the evil side didn't kill Lalaith in the Night. She's not listed with us because she didn't have a special rôle (I assume). The Night-kill target was Shasta (the Ranger), who had anticipated this and self-protected. It was converting Eomer into a wolf that did it.

That makes sense. I just looked at Lalaith among us other dead ones and inferred she had been killed. Too hastily, I see.

And yes, with four evil characters around there would have needed to be a resurrection of one innocent to keep the game going toDay as the Night began with only 8 players left.

We actually got that wrong (at least I did, and nobody corrected me) in the Dead Thread last Night as we thought the Evil side needs to succeed in both of their Nightly actions for the game to end (which seemed a plausible scenario to be sure). But true, just killing one villager would not have been enough, but a conversion was.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Did we agree on that?

I don't think we did. Mind you I am not convinced that Nogrod always agrees with himself after the Communicating with the dead day of hell when my Monty Python clip proved all too prophetic and I ended up being quite glad I was killed as I wanted to murder everyone anyway. I think when we were 20 hours in to the day and they realised they didn't understand the situation that was the killer.

Anyway I enjoyed it much more than I expected and the dead thread was a blast. I must admit it hadn't occurred that the Wizards were cancelling each other out on selection. For some reason it didn't occur that it might happen and ended up thinking that the ranger was just ultra competent.

[Brinniel]

So Shasta, did you end up protecting yourself on Night 4 and Eonwe on Night 5? I could not figure out if it we were blocked because our picks were protected or already gifted.

Btw, I was totally ready to throw our EW under the bus and vote Legate on the last two Days, but the village gave me way too much opportunity to vote otherwise. So thanks for that.

Funny, there was one Night we considered you could be the GW. But I think we concluded you were just a clueless ordo because GW would be at least somewhat clued into our identities. You could say we did have a good motivation for keeping you alive.

You know, if I were innocent, I would've thought Legate wanting to use the same list again would look suspicious...

Based on the narration, we guessed that was what must've occurred.

[Lalaith]

yes, that's right. I was the sole surviving ordo - at least Eomer got to join the winners right there at the end.

Apologies to Good Wizard Nerwen and the team for getting everything wrong and not backing you in the final lynch...I got so confused and I really was so tired. You played brilliantly.
Being an ordo was really baffling in this game but I hugely enjoyed it nonetheless..thank you so much Kuru for being a magnificent Mod.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

It was a great game, well done to all the players and special congratulations to the victors; and special thanks to Kuru!

Honestly, that was the most invested I've been in a game in quite a while; and it's quite a bad feeling looking back and seeing all the places you went wrong.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Oh, and by the way, if Pervinca is looking in, hopefully we can get a much simpler game up for next time. I don't think even veteran players would be able to handle another game this complex for a while!
