My goodness, I was nervous that last evening...it could have gone either way, with three known innocents and Boro dead, we would have had a very hard time clawing back. I knew my number would be up the next day, too.
I'd never been a wolf before and I didn't think I'd last five minutes, actually. The boys were great though, they spotted the Seer the first day, I had nothing to do with that. It was fun to watch masters at work...and that means the villagers too, there was some great game play on both sides, that last day especially.

Wow! Good game folks. It was like reading a detective novel as it was being written.

Only one with a sad ending ...

Seriously though, good job Wolves! Although I am seriously miffed that the phantom was a Wolf and on the winning team. As if his head wasn't big enough already! It pains me to say it, but he had me convinced. I thought Kuru was a Wolf until the last few posts (although it is traditional for me to always suspect Kuru ). Like Celuin, I thought that tp was the Hunter.

Good work, Lalaith and Boro too. Although I was practically screaming at the screen: "No! Don't lynch Eonwe! He's clearly innocent! Lynch Boro!" at the end there.

And nice work, Anguirel, revealing yourself there. Although it was pretty clear to me that you were the Ranger from the moment you raised the question, and then pressed it so doggedly.

Great game, and many congrats to wilwa (and Alc) for an excellent modding job. It was so compelling that I even had to tune in on dial-up while I was away on my trip.

Of course, but for the no more than two lynchings rule, the Villagers could have instigated a mass vote and won at the end there.

Terriffic! I am surprised that
a. I actually was the seer's dream and
b. That I actually lasted as long as I did.

Phantom, Lalaith, and Boromir, well played!! Why did you keep me alive for so long? I figured that once it was evident that I was a dream and innocent, I would be long gone! After all, my death would have revealed pretty much nothing. Other than that I was innocent!



Hope to see you all in WWXI or, if I don't make it into that, WWXII!

Hehe you're welcome! I wasn't really thinking about thing likes 'Who would Wilwarin pick to be what' because she picked who the people were randomly. It was just an enie-menie-miney-mo sort of thing. I would like to see the wolves reasons for killing who they did. After all, if i'm giving these huge hings like "I have an inner feeling that Azalea is innocent", and you later find out that i'm the seer, and Phantom is the one who points it out in the first place, why did they kill Azalea? I guess I'll just have to ask the wolves

I would like to know that too. My only idea is of you being guarded and wasting a night, or likewise, hoping you'd be protected and so would have no chance at losing a night's killing because of that.

Then again, I think as we're playing its normal to expect your death before it came. I often expected to die from one hand or another and it didn't come until the last night...

In the beginning I was cracking up how everyone seemed to take me so innocent, I just want to burst out and say I got you! I got too careless towards the end I think, hence why suspicions arose, but...go wolves!

I actually answered that question somewhat during the game. Remember when I said this yesterday-
Quote:
Also, all of the wolf kills thus far have been kills that didn't alter the course of the village. In other words, the wolves killed people who would not change suspicions, which would cause people who were set up the day before to move to the front of the lynch line.
I actually came right out during the game and said why my wolf friends and I had been killing certain people- I just didn't mention that I was one of the wolves.

But, I will give a much much much much more complete answer to this, and all other questions in my post game summary, which I will complete sometime late late tonight or tomorrow afternoon. I will post a link to it on this thread. As usual, I will include excerpts from pms that I exchanged with my fellow wolves.

Thumbs up Good job.

Congratulations to the werewolves! That was a right thrashing and no mistake!

I’d wondered about a Boromir88/phantom alliance a couple of times, but I never said anything because I didn’t think anybody would believe me.

You see, this is a problem the village traditionally has anytime I play a game. You people really need to break that habit. It is extremely counterproductive.

I knew that there was something wrong with Boromir! This is so infuriating.

*sigh* Oh well, very nice, Wolves, congratulations! This was an excellent game!

Wilwa, thanks for modding, you did great job!

Great game! Guess it was a good thing I got lynched the first day, for it turned out I hardly had time to visit the Downs... But, I was still reading along of course.

I cannot believe how no one suspected the phantom. He sure has a way to manipulate people... From the start of day one he had already made himself unlynchable.

Well played, wolves!

I'm well aware that what you said was in French. As I told you, I knew pretty much what you were saying- until "merchant". It is not in my French dictionary, and every online translator I have gone to does not seem willing to accept it as an actual word.

And so, I ask once again- "merchant"??

Surely you are willing to do me the simple courtesy of translating one single word. After all, you are the one that chose not to post in English- the language that everyone here can read somewhat.

A question

I was wondering about The Cursed Villager: have we had a game yet where the wolves successfully found and converted one to their number? It hasn't happened in any of the games I've played in or followed, but I haven't followed all ten.
(I was going to ask this on the admin thread but Saucie said it was supposed to go quiet and I wouldn't dream of disobeying him...)

I've just been to look, you're right, Sono was converted but only at the end when the surviving wolves (spawn and phantom) had already won.

Yes, it was purely for storyline purposes. BW, the Hunter, and SoNo, the Cursed, were the only surviving Villagers, so I used their roles in the concluding vignette.

*the phantom stumbles into the room looking half asleep, or perhaps half dead*

I've finished my WEREWOLF X SUMMARY!!!

There are probably spelling and grammatical errors as well as a few things that don't make sense, but I really don't care right now. It's after 2:00 AM and I didn't sleep much last night.

It would be really cool to play in a game where that actually happens. Or better yet, to be that cursed villager. But in case the wolves found the Cursed, I think it would be only fair if the mod told the villagers that they are dealing with yet another wolf from now on. Or then the villagers must have better luck with catching the furry fiends than we had.

Edit: Nice summary, phantom!

Great write-up, phantom...
just one thing. The night we very nearly ate Kuru, it was actually *you* he would have killed. It was the night before he would have killed me. (ie the night we killed Perky). So it was even luckier that we went for Celuien, as you would have been a much greater loss to our side...
