But good job!

I have to decide if it's Fea or Aganzir who gets that place. Probably Aganzir as she was clearly the better Wolf.

[Brinniel]

Ack, well congrats you guys. Seriously. You had us all deceived.

Aganzir, I knew your attacks on me were wolfish! You turned the village against me in the final moment. That had me so frustrated!

Fea- I knew she was falling under the radar too much. If only I had done an even closer analysis.

Mac, you totally had me fooled. I really thought you were innocent.

As so, as much as I hate to lose, you guys really deserved this. Well played.

[Farael]

Might buddy, don't worry... we were ALL WAAAAAAAAY off track... you made a gutsy (even if misguided) move, but how many did I make? I don't think I suspected a wolf all game long, other than a fleeting uneasiness of Fea

[The Might]

Ah well, I'll do better next time.
Not trying to look for excuses, but with 3 very important tests last week and a project in history I didn't really have time to take a look at the game as I would have wanted to, and I must admit I was quite superficial at times.

Anyway, now school is almost over, so I'm going to be a lot more active in the next one.

[Volo]

Mac, you totally had me fooled. I really thought you were innocent.

Copy that, although at least once I was right. Sadly it was the wrong time to be right... :/
I trusted you enough to let you decide. Well played, well played indeed!

[Farael]

Insane cross-posting here, but Fea goes to the black list for the gloating after having me lost all game...

Aganzir should go to the Werewolf hall of fame!! That was a masterful final stroke.

Haha! Do I hear a new thread coming up?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Lily did beautifully. All my props go to her for taking one for the team so early on.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I agree. When I saw Mac's thirty-seconds-left vote for Brinniel, all I could think was...

"...Oops."

[Aganzir]

Sorry Brinn.

And my apologies also to Greenie. I wouldn't have wanted to lynch you.

It'd be nice to stay here for a while, but I really need some sleep after a weekend of roleplaying. Good night everyone. And especially good Night for the remaining villagers.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

So again, who was the Drop? I like to know the little things, sue me. :P

Yesterday he seemed almost gloating over my calling him innocent, and then he went after Volo in a way that seems almost like a caricature of innocent-Mac.

ARGHHHHH.

By the way, I can give you the reason for my departure now. After posting the above suspicion, I found out Mac's role for certain, outside the game. I didn't think it was fair to keep playing under those circumstances.
So I had to sit back and watch him fool all of you.
This is not the first time I could say "I told you so" either. But still, no one listens to me... bah.

[Volo]

What I am baffled with though is why I think like a Wolf?
Lommy in Gil's game and now both Mac and Aganzir here...
The way they played seems the most natural to me.

Oh, but at last this game ended! With no disrispect to anybody, just it was a very taxing experience as I've never sent WW to such a priority level before. And never has the defeat been such utter and complete.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Very admirable, Rikae.

I was tempted to drop out of the game after the whole editing fiasco, but I didn't want to break the game for anyone... so I got a lot louder in hopes that the wolves would waste a kill on me over the night.

You even changed your hair colour? Black comedy at the very finest.


Ok, I'll calm down now.

[Brinniel]

Oh, and I almost forgot. *eat socks* Because I said I would.

Even if they hadn't succeeded with a double lynch, I'm sure the wolves would've been victorious the next Day. I don't remember when a village has been so clueless.

I must admit, I became very frustrated for several days because we couldn't track down a wolf. Before going to sleep, I'd start analysing everyone in my head. And then WW would haunt my dreams.

Anyways, I may have not survived at the end, but this is the longest I've ever been left alive in a game. And the most I've ever posted in a single game....72 before Day 5 deadline.

It's probably for the best the game ended today. I've been stressed lately with end of semester final projects and exams. It's really hard to juggle that and WW, and I'm rather relieved that I won't have to during the most critical week.

[Brinniel]

Also...

It's been a long time since I've gotten so into a game. Good work, Noggie.

This whole old school meets new school thing should happen more often...

[The Might]

Well done wolves...this definitely was a great performance!

I just realised I have a question...
Why is this WW XXXX and not XL?
In order to ditinguish it from the t-shirt size?

No joke. I'm trying not to have a panic attack about what I have to accomplish in the next 24 hours.

But that was a brilliant game. It really was. Thanks Nogmod!

And everyone else!

And I'm having the devil of a time formatting the PMs, so you'll have them as soon as I can get it all organized looking...

[Nogrod]

Okay.

A final narration is at it's place in the end of the Day.

Shasta and others interested: you might find some clues as to who is the Drop and others in there...

Ahh, you're right but I first named this WW XXX wich was even more wrong...

Definitively.

I'll make a few words a bit later as I'm pretty tied with my scheduals right now...

But it was a pleasure to mod this game. So thanks everyone from a memorable game!

As noted by Noggie in the narration...I can't believe none of us noticed this!

I wonder how long I'll sit gaping at the screen not eyes as wide open as my mouth. I wonder how long I'll sit gaping at the screen before I can finally post this.

I noticed. So sorry I didn't point it out...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Okay. So the best way I could find to keep myself from having to mess with font tags all night was to copy and paste the chronological chat into a DeviantArt thingummy.

So here's a link for you to access it.

I managed to lose one or two of my own PMs, but all of Mac's, Agan's, and Lil's should be there.

[Volo]

Thanks!

Mac, neither do I you. *points at sig*

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Mhm. So, Mac was the Shard, and Fea the Drop, leaving Agan to be the Flame.

I'm going to plant my head in the nearest desk now.

[Kath]

I caught that slip of Mac's this morning and laughed my head off when no one noticed. I do apologise for being such a rubbish Seer by the way. Every one I dreamt of was summarily killed and then so was I! That was a very good show by the wolves indeed.

[Meneltarmacil]

Well, thanks for not killing me early on.

Anyhow, I enjoyed it. I was so sure that morm was a wolf *eats hat, coat, socks, and boots*, and the remaining three wolves had completely slipped by. Seriously, I didn't pay any of them much attention at all!

Congratulations, wolves!

[Nerwen]

*spectral voice from the depths of the Water*

I have been watching from my place of rest. Nice work, wolves!

Mind you, I picked Mac and Fea... it all looks different from the other side...

[satansaloser2005]

Dagnabbit! That's all I have to say. We got played, villagers, we got played.

Unfortunately, although I figured I might lure the wolves out of their snazzy little holes, the only ones who were confused by my actions were the other ordos. Sorry about that loves.


And wolves....curse you all, you did SO well! Congratulations on a definitely well-earned victory!

[Macalaure]

I'm going to comment more later, but this one thing cannot be left uncontested.

It was not a slip!

I was responding to Volo, expecting him to be after me this day. "Even if you're convinced of my guilt, then don't forget there's two more you shouldn't forget". The statement was for Volo on the assumption that he was sure I'm a wolf, putting myself into his position.

Now you know.

Of course it was not a slip. But you see, Mac, the innocents just wanted to find at least some flaw from you (though it would make them look even more stupid). Surely you are not going to take at least this little pleasure from them (did I say "pleasure"? )

[Thinlómien]

Absolutely hilarious Nogrod & wolves! It was a beautiful game. Actually, everyone played wonderfully.

And you did so well in killing me wolves. Other than that I was considered innocent by almost everybody, I really was sure of Fea's guilt after Menel's death (I considered even giving her an unsigned rep saying something like "I KNOW you're a wolf: you've doing it all too well but I can see right through you, love" but decided against it as I thought she might realise it was me and it would be even more certain that I'd die) and I would certainly have attacked her on the last Day.

I also had a strong bad feeling that either Agan or Volo or both are wolves. I was more suspicious of Agan so I think I would have taken at least a second look on her if I had been alive.

It's just my luck, after being so wrong about everything (except Greenie) I start being right about things the Night I die.

And Mac... I never seriously suspected him. Hats off (since mine remains uneaten ) to him.

Anyway, you were way too evil, wolvsies. You all managed to either convince me of your innocence or slip under my radar for a long time, except Greenie, who did awesome job at making morm look guilty. I knew she'd fool me completely in this game, and when I realised she's most probably a wolf and I can see through her lies, I dropped precaution and thought she couldn't possibly fool me at all then.

Werewolf is so good for me. Every time I think I'm actually quite good at it, I manage to get my suspicions so wrong it's hardly possible. Then I'm relatively good for a few games and when I start trusting myself again and am totally wrong again. This game really teaches me humility... *would add smiley if hadn't passed the limit*

[Macalaure]

First I have to bow before my co-wolves. 5 days and nights (or 2 resp.) is far too little time to plot which such excellent and admirable hobbits.

Honestly, it was truly great to sit back most of the times and just watch the village lynch each other. We rarely ever actively led you astray, except Aganzir on the last day.

But those last 15 minutes.....

When I understood Shasta and Volo wrong, it was the guilty conscience which got hold of me. I made it a very bad reason for me to hold back my vote. Then they told me I misunderstood them. Dammit! Did they notice how stupid I just acted? Were they confused by my sudden defensiveness? No? Phew. Now, they can't seriously consider voting Brinniel all of a sudden. It's not going to happen. Surely they will all vote Kuru. There'll be no double lynch. We're not going to make it! I have to vote Kuru now, I'll look terribly wolvish the next day if I don't. We're not going to make it. Volo voted Brinniel! I can't believe it! Now Aganzir will follow him. We can make it! We can make it! What are Shasta and Miggy going to do? Brinniel voted Kuru. Yeah, I expected that. I should post something, I'm too silent. Miggy would vote Brinn? We really can make it. Shasta voted Brinn! Good, good, good. 3 minutes. I should post something, I'll look so horribly suspicious tomorrow. Aganzir voted. Good. Now, Miggy what will you do? 2 minutes. What are you going to do, Miggy? The deadline, the deadline, the deadline. He's not going to vote at all. They'll lynch me tomorrow for this! I have to vote! "What are you doing??"* Dammit, what if I accidently vote crossing with Nog's deadline? I can't wait! I have to vote! He voted Kuru!!! Quick! Quick! ++Brinniel pheewwwww......

...those were several months off my life expectation.

*I mistyped those few words several times


Kudos to all the players! You made this game a fun game!

And thank you, Nogrod, our mod.

Yes, I am.


And, by the way, how do hobbits end up eating their socks?

That night... You can see it in the wolf chat. I wanted to kill you because you were the only person who stood a chance of drawing enough negative attention to me to be dangerous. But I didn't want it to look like I'd killed you for suspecting me. And then Agan was kind enough to point out that you were basically a free kill and I shouldn't worry.

Mac, hilarious.

I was quite similar:

Oh god, I had to vote, I'm sorry guys I had to vote she pointed out the flaw I was hoping they wouldn't notice and I had to vote even though we agreed Agan should vote first please don't let this mess things up I had to vote for Kuru, Kuru's going to kick it and they're going to find one of us in the morning OH MY GOD they believe Agan about Brinn HAHAHAHAHA omigod we might, wait, maybe omigod! They're voting for Brinniel! Worst decision ever! They're going to cross post! Mac, we need you! Wait, it's tied again don't vote don't vote AHHH Mac vote vote vote one more vote and we win and if we don't win we all die tomorrow omigod HE VOTED OMIGOD WE WON WE WON WE WON.

Yep. It was pretty amusing, if I do say so myself. I was banging on my desk watching the screen like my will alone could win the game...

And I did want to apologize a little to morm... again... He took it quite well, that I put such careful work into making nobody trust him ever again. I suppose the best consolation is that, again, I won't be trusted.

[Aganzir]

Well, I can tell I was maybe the most surprised here when I realised people actually believed my Brinniel case. I didn't really imagine I could get her lynched if I posted a case against her half an hour before the deadline... But it worked. I was laughing aloud when people started voting her.

My last minutes were pretty much the same as Mac and Fea's. I had thought I wouldn't actively contribute to a double lynch unless it was sure we could make it, but then, all of a sudden, it was possible. I had to count the votes twice before voting for Brinniel... and after that. It was perfect. This is why I love being a wolf.

Greenie and I actually attacked Lommy during Night 5 in real life. And guess what she said when we were biting and clawing her: "Stop that! You are being annoying!"

Btw Kath, who did you dream of? If you already told it, I must have missed it. And who did morm protect?

[Kath]

Erm, I dreamt:

Night 1 ~ Lommy (innocent)
Night 2 ~ Greenie (wolf)
Night 3 ~ morm (Ranger)
Night 4 ~ The Might (innocent)

[Thinlómien]

I was right! I was right! I was right! Thank you, Kath, you made my day. Not that it was too difficult to decipher, but I'm glad I was right about something...

And those wolf PMs were just hilarious, the only thing I'm concerned about is Nogrod's low modding ethics...

[mormegil]

Memo to all...double lynches NEVER work out. I cannot remember one in all of my history that have turned out well. Volo, I didn't proclaim myself because, like I said in the game, I had a meeting and wouldn't be around. I had thought that I could have held out one more day.

I do not know what to think anymore. All of those whom I felt were wolves, were innocent. I'm beginning to feel that I should hang up my WW hat completely...but I had a lot of fun being wrong.

Wolves, what a brilliant performance on all accounts!!! I need to learn that if I don't know about somebody they must be guilty. I knew Brinn was innocent but I didn't have a great feel on the 3 remaining wolves and that should be my cue to kill you...*sigh*

Thanks Noggie.

Definitely you shouldn't hang up your WW hat... (even if someone hasn't eaten it already...) after all, WW is about the game experience and not about being right or wrong... (surely all the innocents from this game will wholeheartedly agree with me ) And now you just got back into the game, so maybe next time your judgement will be more correct. I'd suggest you do, you are a good player to have around

And by the way, could you share your Ranger list with us? Just so that our knowledge is complete
