WW XXIX Dor-en-Gaur

[Rikae]

I voted for Lommy.

[Mithalwen]

In which case you are safe .... I am not sure .. I feel it is one of you .... but we may as well make this unanimous andI have suspected her more in the end...

++Lommy

[Nogrod]

Day4 has ended.

Lommy and Kath will die very soon...

[Nogrod]

YesterDay it had been a run of two candidates but as the morning rose and the body of the Ranger was found all seemed to be open again. But soon enough Lommy the Shepherdess had gathered enough votes to turn out the obvious next lynchee of the village. The villagers turned towards her.

“Loomy is a wolf”, said the Moose Tamer. He had said that from the first Day onwards with great certainty.

“Lommy's every move has been the model of an alpha-wolf”, said Anguirel the Merry.

“Killing me won't help you to survive this village, I'm afraid. However, it's not a disaster if you kill me since we can afford losing an innocent toDay”, she said resignedly and turned to the doorway. “Anyway, I'll go now.” With that she left, choking back her tears. The people at the inn looked at each other a bit concernedly and then ran after her.

But they were too late. The Ugly Little Shepherdess had jumped in to the well at the square. The villagers heaved her up only to find out that she was still a human being, only a dead one now.

“Now that did it!” said Anguirel the Merry and revealed his golden dagger. “Kath the Weaver, in the name of the good Elvenking Finrod Felagund I slay you now.” He called aloud and before the Weaver had time to react, he drove the dagger straight into her chest.

There was an expression of bewilderment in the Weaver’s eyes when she started changing, first slower, then faster. Hair started growing all over her body and her teeth started changing, the eyes were turning red and she was gaining in size too. The villagers pulled back away from her in horror, but Gorlim's Lighthearted Brother stood firm on his feet and stabbed her again. A shrilling roar came out from her mouth as she fell down. She was a wolf. She clearly was.

Night5 has begun.

The Wolf and the “lonely Ranger”, send me your picks.

[Nogrod]

The initial success of the wolves had started waning. The Alpha-Wolf was alone now but it knew whom to kill. It felt itself driven to the corner but would at least go with a blaze of glory. And the commanding voice in it’s head called for more blood.

The Ranger heard the Wolf creeping towards the house she was guarding that Night. She had gotten it right this Night! There would be no deaths toNight! She was pleased. But she was also nervous, almost terrified in fact. There being no deaths toNite would require her to step forwards and face the beast alone in the Night. Would the sword protect her?

The Homeless Waif’s heartbeat went wild. But inspired by Gorlim’s Lighthearted Brother’s firmness the evening before she gathered all her courage and stepped out from the shadows to cut the Wolf’s way. “You foul beast of Darkness! With this sword of the Eagles I command thee to crawl back to your lair! You shall not kill anyone toNight!” The giant Wolf stopped on it’s trail.

Suddenly the front door of the house banged open and the Serious Jester ran out, an arrow already notched in his bowstring. “Get out of my way you Homeless Waif! This matter is between me and the wolf. That beast tops my list and I have been preparing for this already two Nights in a row. And I will kill the beast even if I have to perish along with it. This werewolvery will have to end toNight!” The Jester bellowed and pulled the string.

The Homeless Waif took a step forwards to get between the Jester and the Wolf. She would not allow anyone to get killed so long as she was protecting them. “Hold on a...”, she started.

“Hold on a minute, everyone!” a loud call echoed from the darkness not far away. “I think it’s my privilege to make us rid of the beast”, the voice declared.

The wolf turned it’s head towards the new voice just to realise a heavy golden dagger coming towards it, flying much too fast for the giant wolf to react to in anyway. The dagger hit the creature straight into the forehead, breaking deep into it’s skull. Rikae fell backwards from the impact. First she was in shock, then she was dead.

Anguirel the Merry came out from behind the nearest trees. “Sorry Boro, me old mate.” He said merrily. “You see, this way no’ne else had to die.” He looked at the astonished faces of both Firefoot and Boromir. “Keep it simple...”, he added and smiled.

“Should we wake Mith and Farael up? I mean this has ended now, hasn’t it? Shouldn’t they know it asap?” Firefoot asked.

“I think we have all earned a pint!”, Boro agreed.

“On the house...”, Firefoot added.

w00t!

Great job, everyone!

For once I was right about at least some things.

So...Ang could kill during the Day and Night?

*high-5's Firefoot* Way to keep your identity safe till the end! Spectacular!

[Nogrod]

EPILOGUE (Concerning the fate of the Village)

The five survivors were having their fourth pints in the Inn. They had started with loud cries of joy and lots of hugging but as the pints went down and all the terrible things of the last days started coming back to them in full the mood changed.

“How can we ever tell your brother that his wife was a werewolf?” the Serving-Wench asked anxiously.

“Or anything that has happened, to anyone possibly coming from the war?”, continued the Serious Jester

“Like that she killed her own brother?”, the Moose Tamer wondered in horror.

There was a gloomy silence over the table.

“Well, I haven’t had a home for a long time anyhow so I could just pack my things and get away from this terrifying place. I mean this Village just gives me the creeps.” The Homeless Waif declared determinatedly.

“We’ll come with you. We’ll form a travelling Band, right?”, Gorlim’s Lighthearted Brother suggested, looking at the others questioningly. “We’ll earn our bread with immortal songs we compose and perform in the lands that are free of this horror but hungry for it’s tales?”

“This bunch would make a better circus than a band...” the Serving-Wench said dryly, frowning.

“C’mon people! That’s a good idea!” the Moose Tamer was suddenly up to the idea. “I’ll tame the animals while you two guys make the clownery, and she serves the audience – and maybe some frivolous dancing numbers?”, the Moose Tamer yelled now enthusiastically.

“And what about me then?” The Homeless Waif asked a bit lazily.

“You’re experienced wanderer and we are not, so we need a leader to us to the pathless wilderness we need to pass”, the Moose Tamer continued passionately. “And every circus needs a manager to host the show!”

They all looked at each other in some confusion. It wasn’t a bad idea after all, taking account of the circumstances. Staying wasn’t an option anyhow.

“I hope this is a better fixed idea of yours than the last one about our Ugly Little Shepherdess...” The Jester said and rose up from the bench. “Let’s go then. The morning has already broken.”

“Should I take my dagger with me, just to be on the safe side?” Gorlim’s Lighthearted Brother asked as he was getting up.

“To be safe? Noooo!” The Serving-Wench cried. And the rest agreed.

[Farael]

See? I WAS an ordo...

Again, now that the game is over and that it's clear I'm not lying, I'd like to apologise to you all... I've been busy and honestly, I need a break from Werewolf. I started the game and tried to read everything... but I just couldn't.

Anyway, I'm glad to see my mistake didn't wind up costing the village... I was worried that it'd be so, and if that had happened it would have been very unfair.

Oh, and sorry Loomy... I did believe my theory in day 1 (as I always do ) but I was doubting by day 2... yet I figured that if I changed my mind, I'd be lynched and I didn't want to die YET.

Kudos to the assasin, and kudos to Nogrod for coming up with that role... quite interesting for sure.

Kudos to the villagers as well! We (you?) won!!

By the way Nogrod what was the difference between an alpha and beta wolf, and most importantly, was it by chance that the alpha wolf was the last one alive or did you just decided that the first two to be killed would be beta regardless of who they were?

[Volo]

Haha! I loved reading this game, never before had I tortured the "refresh" button like this.

Rikae I started suspecting straight after I defended her. It was a perfect day1 for her, congratulations! Really well played. Only defending Lal went a bit too far...

Firefoot I guessed to be the ranger from this .

Pretty funny to me that the innkeeper turned out being a Ranger...

Kath, you I didn't suspect enough to vote during the whole game, really well played! I was rather sad when you were found guilty...

I so wanted to answer "yes" to this, but at that moment I still had hope of surviving, and agreeing with Ang wouldn't have made things better.
It's actually pretty funny how Ang says "I have a feeling that -name- will turn out innocent" whenever somebody is lynched.

Now I wish that the special roles are revealed to us!

[Kath]

Ah it was fun while it lasted! Nice job villagers.

Lal, Rikae - you were great fun to plot the Night away with. And Rune of course! Our Cobbler, marvellous job.

So ... did the Rangers ever develop the ability to talk to each other?

[Roa_Aoife]

Roa (Day 1): Hm, Rikae seems really suspicious to me. I'll be looking at her closely in the next few days.

*Roa gets killed*

Village: Roa was probably killed because she's a good player, not because she was onto anything. Nevermind that she's usually left alive by the wolves because she's a suspicion magnet. Nope, she didn't have a wolf pegged or anything.

Rikae: *bats eyes* Roa was some sort of fearsome player? I had no idea! *bats eyes some more and repeats same thing two more times*

Roa: *bangs head against keyboard*


It amuses me that both Mac and myself had a wolf in our suspect lists, and NOBODY bothered to look at our posts.

So, wolves, out with it! Explain your choices! And that goes for the rest of you gifteds!

[Nogrod]

Yes he could, but only once in any given Day/Night -cycle (so not three times in a row...). I thought of making this assassin role possibly powerful and carrying great risks with it, but I never knew what I had done as Anguirel turned out to be the one wielding it...

Those were basically given because of the Hunter's list to begin with. So in the beginning Lal and Kath killed together and Rikae alone. Had either party tried to kill Boro I would have checked the list for actual killer/s being there. If Rikae would have been on the list but Lal and Kath would have killed him nothing would have happened to Rikae as she was not there... So logical hunter of a sort.

So yes. Rikae was the alpha from the very beginning.

Nope. Firefoot and Durelin learned each others identities on Night2 when they both protected Boro. After that they didn't meet...

Sounds good, I'm waiting.

[Roa_Aoife]

For that matter, I like it when the wolves post their plotting. It's up to them of course, but it's always fun to see the plotting.

[Lalaith]

Can I just jump in and say in my opinion, this was the most enjoyable game to read, as a non-player, of any I've seen on here. I was just spitting that I was too busy to play.
I would love to know all the rules of this new variant. Noggie, will you post them?

[Nogrod]

Just to begin with. Here's the results of the Questionnaire. Read and wonder what you think! There are some pretty interesting things in it, in the way we people perceive each other before a game...

The Questionnaire

The key:
Trust (T)
Sympathy (S)
Distrust (D)
Afraid of (A)
Wish to be on the same side (W)

The results:
Durelin – T1, A1
Rikae – T2
Thinlómien – T5, S2, D2,W5
Volo – S1
Kath – T1, S2, D4, A2, W1
Macalaure- T1, S1, W5
Rune son of Bjarne – T2, S2, D1,W1
Boromir88 – T2, S2, D2, A2, W8
Mithalwen – T3, S5, A1 W3
Lalwendë – T2, S2, A2, W3
Farael – D3
Naria – S2, D2
Anguirel – T4, S2, D3, A6, W4
Mormegil – T1, D6, A5, W6
Celuien – T3, A2, W5
Firefoot – T2, S1, A1, W4
Eomer – S3, D5, A1, W7
Gil-Galad – S1, D4
Roa_Aoife – T1, D2, A5, W6

[Volo]

Haha, I said it's natural to vote the big scary Anguirel.

[Lalwendë]

That was very hard work I have to say! I am rubbish at lying so I never bother with it, so this was really difficult! Plus I ended up not being able to give much time up to it on Saturday so I had no way of defending meself.

It was great though, you're all great to play WW with!

[Durelin]

Here's the Ranger PM:

Originally Posted by Nogrod

Hello Ranger and congratulations for something which hopefully turns out to be a very interesting and challenging role! It's a game of the three of you against the three of them!

So you are one of those three that were given a sword by the Eagles. Your task is to defend another villagers every Night with the other two rangers. Unfortunately you don’t know the identities of them, yet.

You may learn your mates identities. If two (three) of you happen to defend a same villager during the Night you will learn the identity of the other ranger(s). And, if you happen to defend a same villager (any villager) a second time together, you will be earning a right to PM each other during the Days and thence plot your defences for the Night the rest of the game.

If two of you have earned the right to PM together you may risk a jackpot if you so wish. That means: you may decide to go and defend a same person yet again (thence leaving one innocent whom you could defend vulnerable to a kill) and if you’re right and the wolf comes to a kill you will not only drive the wolf away but will also kill it together. If there are two (or more) wolves alive at the point you try this jackpot you should send me a shared list of your suspicions in the order of suspicion – then the higher/st one on your list will be the one who gets killed.

Even though in principle you have time to decide whom you are going to protect over the Night until the deadline, I will appreciate early notification of your actions (hopefully at least an hour before). There maybe a lot of action in this village during the Nights and thence it may turn out just impossible for me to open the Day in time if you notify me only minutes before the deadline.

No ranger is allowed to defend a same person two Nights in a row.

You wolves were great fun! Especially you, Rikae! I knew you were crazy and bold enough for that sort of thing. Lal did an excellent job looking like she was going along with things up till her end...and once it came down to her lynching she was great fun. I wish Kath had had more time and been less of a lurker. That's one of the dangers of a Kath-wolf, though, I suppose.

[Roa_Aoife]

Fearing me, I get. Distrusting me, I get. Wanting to be on my side, I almost get. But who here trusts me?

And look at how popular Boromir is- everyone wants him on their team.

[Kath]

I wish Kath had had more time and been less of a lurker. That's one of the dangers of a Kath-wolf, though, I suppose.

Tell me about it. I had such good intentions for this game, and then event after event conspired against me! One might think it was karma.

Umm, as to our choices, you definitely don't want our full discussions. Perhaps Rikae you could do the explanations since you were our longest surviving comrade?

[Firefoot]

That was... harrowing, to say the least. I had a lot of fun. Thanks for probing me into playing, Nogrod.

Great job everybody - especially to Rikae for lasting so long under such great suspicion. You almost had me thinking you were innocent again.

As of Night 3, Kath, I was completely convinced you were innocent and extensively debated protecting you over Durelin (I still don't know if this was a good choice - Nogrod, what did Rune inform the wolves?? Would Durelin have been dead if I hadn't protected her? Or not - would I have been able to then protect her the next night?). Lal was my third choice, but that was when I started thinking she was a wolf.

Boro's revealing himself may well have been one of the best things to happen in the game - it allowed Durelin and I to at least know each other's identities, and considering that I was one of her prime suspects until then...

Very enjoyable, everyone.

[Nogrod]

The wolves played well and the teamwork seemed to go smoothly in good sporting spirits, but the Villagers were just outstanding, just absolutely fabulous!

And I'm most delighted of the way this win was gained. Plain and clear old-fashioned reasoning: observation and logic. Wow!

But had the dynamics of this game been different (aka the roles would have been spreaded differently) I think also the special roles would have turned out having very different effects indeed...

I'll post you something about the roles before I go to sleep...

................
And as so many people here have already said: it was really a great game to read (and to mod). Thank's all! Love you!

[Nogrod]

Rune was basically a normal cobbler. But I called him informer as he was able to send the wolves a piece of information everyNight (after the wolves had sent me their kill) - two in the first Night. That information was taken randomly from a list of things that they could learn, ranging from information about someone having no role to the way other roles work or even someone having a role X (Rune might have also learned an identity of a wolf as well). So as the time would have gone on, the informer might have proven a very important player.

I also thought that playing it would be nice as the informer would learn the same things he was "sending" to the wolves (= I sent the info to all of them).

In this game Rune managed to pass the following information:
Night2
- Mith has no special role.
- The hunter has a list of three during Nights.
Night3
- Another Ranger protected Anguirel this Night and Boro the Night before.

I guess the other roles we have already discussed... I'll answer any questions, though.

.............
It was somewhat ironic that Celuien protected Anguirel on Night2 and after that Ang killed him with his dagger on the same Night! And I couldn't narrate that to not tell you too much!

There was this one also: no Ranger protected Boro on Night3 (as they couldn't), but neither did Boro had any wolf in his list of three then! I really bit my nails that day as I waited for how it would turn out as I knew that it would become really hard for the wolves if they didn't try to kill him at that point - and actually seeing that they had their chance of a lifetime there...

Nope - and yes... That's the way it turns occasionally.

[Macalaure]

Hilarious game! I sometimes used to lose interest in a game once I'm out, but not so this time. At the end of the second day I thought the village might be swept by the wolves. Great turnaround then.

Rikae: *bats eyes* Roa was some sort of fearsome player? I had no idea! *bats eyes some more and repeats same thing two more times*

Roa: *bangs head against keyboard*

Hate to disappoint you, Roa, but I got killed by the alpha-wolf Rikae.

Very good game, Rikae! There were just too many known innocents in the end.

[Rikae]

Well, Volo, you were right about me; I'm not a very good wolf! I wish I knew how you and Roa spotted me so early...

I suspected Firefoot had to be the other ranger. The way she and Durelin were interacting showed some kind of understanding; if I hadn't been a wolf, I would have thought they were. Of course, with those two knowing each other and Boro and Ang known innocents, there was no way for the wolves to win; I just wanted to take Boro with me when I went...was that too much to ask, Ang?

OK, plotting:
Night 2, it was basically the "fearsome player" theory - I've never played with Roa before, but my fellow wolves filled me in, and I, remembering how brilliantly Mac tracked down Cel-wolf in another game, didn't want to wait around for him to do the same with one of us. There was also a bit of a double bluff thrown in; we hoped someone might think it was intended to point to me or Lal. But no one even bothered to look at their suspects!

Night 3, we were trying to get a ranger. Kath thought Gil might be one, and I thought Eomer might.

Night 4, we wanted to take out a ranger, of course, but also hoped that with the quarreling between Duralin and yours truly it would look like a framing attempt.

Night 5, like Nogrod said, I wanted to go with a blaze of glory. Too bad that knife-wielding maniac had to wreak it!

Someday I will have my revenge...mwahahaha!

~ Wolfae

[Rikae]

Oh, I have a question for Boro...

was all that exaggerated "I trust Rikae and Lal" stuff on day one a trick of some kind? I thought it was you thrying to lull us into a false sense of security...and then lo and behold, you abrubtly change your tune on day two. Was I right?

[mormegil]

Mormegil – T1, D6, A5, W6

That D6 has nothing to do with the mass bandwagon against me did it? The oddest part is that the wolves really didn't play any big role in my lynching.

At least more people are afraid of Ang than afraid of me. I want to know who trusts me though I suspect I know who .

Nogrod, I must say this game was great. I love the GDB role and I've always played with that role in my head and never knew how it would work. Ang I was dumbfounded that you went for Celuien the first night. I didn't think it would happen so quickly, but I thought that it was only one kill per game too.

A rather fun game despite me being a bit side tracked with life and other pursuits.

Oh yes, that was good fun. So was chewing out Volo for saying I wouldn't be a good wolf, and musing about how "the hunter might be more danger than help." As, of course, he was.

It was actually why I started suspecting Mith and Thin on Day 2- Thin because she was the first to suggest that Mac and I were killed just for being scary opponents, (thus eliminating the need to review our posts); and Mith because she pointed out that I'm usually left alive for the suspicion factor, but not actually doing anything with it.

As to why I suspected you- You threw some mild suspicion at me for being uncontroversial, and suggested I might be a slip-under-the-radar wolf (a laughable concept, I assure you, and I did laugh) while being very noncontroversial yourself. In essence, you said I was suspicious for doing what you were doing.

Good job to our gifteds- sure some mistakes were made, but it could have been worse.

I was really surprised that Morm got lynched on Day 2. "I swear, Officer, that bandwagon came out of nowhere!"

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I really enjoyed my role and was exited about it. . . .I liked the fact that I was of some importance to the wolves and that I had to try and stay alive.

I guess I was not very good at not attracting suspision, I always die early when i am on the wolven side!

I actually had all the wolves on my list of possible wolves and I am somewhat proude of it. . . unfortunately it also became somewhat clear to the villagers who it was after my death.

anyways I had a really good time playing.

[Rikae]

Did you pick up on my hints, then, Rune?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I do not remember seing anything where I thought "This is a message to me". . . . but there was small things that indicated that you might be one of the wolves.

[Gil-Galad]

lalwende and rikae were my 2 prime wolf suspects before i died too... and i wouldn't have been paid attention too anyways...

[Boromir88]

As I told Nogrod, this was by far the most challenging game I've done...which is a testament to the guileness of the wolves. It came falling down on you towards the end, when I think there were too many trusted gifteds at the end, but an amazing job. I honestly think if he hadn't of gotten Lal, we may not have won this one. After Lal's death I went through as much as I could and that cued us to Rikae and Kath. And Lal surely had me holding my breath at the end of her death wondering if I was about to eat my words.

Nice job to Durelin and Firefoot as well...made my job a lot easier. When I heard that if the rangers protect the same person they 'find' eachother...and the way Durelin had been defending Firefoot I figured she was the last ranger.

Ang, Mith, et all, nice job of directing and sort of being this 'calming' presense through out, especially towards the end.

was all that exaggerated "I trust Rikae and Lal" stuff on day one a trick of some kind? I thought it was you thrying to lull us into a false sense of security...and then lo and behold, you abrubtly change your tune on day two. Was I right?~Rikae

Actually no...I was a little suspicious of Lal, because I thought her jump on my loud/quietness was strange, but other than that I before the day we lynched Lal, I thought you two were innocent. Actually Night 3 may have been your best chance to get rid of me, as I've heard I wasn't protected and I didn't have a wolf. I think first was Rune, but that wouldn't help as Ang killed him ( )...than I had Eomer and someone else whom I forget. I think the rest of the nights though I did have at least one wolf. When we all found out Lal was a wolf, I went through and that's what cued me to you and Kath.

Thank you all for a very challenging game. I was kind of worried about not having a seer, but I liked the little chang as it made it far more challenging...and made trust even a bigger deal. Good job Nogrod.

Great game, everybody.

Sorry my fellow villagers, but after you had lynched me (you should have known I was right... ) I must say I almost died laughing when I discovered Kath had been a beta-wolf and you had that alpha wolf I had been wondering about (which partially led you to lynch me) still to cope with...

You wolves were just fabulous... I thought we might lose and was getting pretty desperate.

That James Bond role (if you allow me to use the term ) was great, but in the end he was maybe even a bit too big profit for the villagers...

Yes but think how dire things looked on Day two with three dead .....

Really sorry to have lynched you Lommy.... I am kicking myself because I had found Rikae the most suspicious until her bravura "Save Lal" attempt which just seemed too ingenuous..... and I did wonder why you didn't support me whenI picked up on Lal's posting.

And well done Ang....

I have to say that that was perhaps the most enjoyable game I have played - I love the assasin role it really mixed things up......

So that's why you never mentioned them but concentrated your comments on Boromir and his supporters and voted for Farael day 2 ......

Err that might have been me..I didn't keep the pm but I think made a qualified comment about trusting your abilities as a strategist and interpreter but never being able to certain to trust your innocence unless proved by a seer...Which explains my genuine surprise that you were killed so early .... . remeber how I jumped on Volo for saying you didn't make sense - the reason you are so dangerous as a wolf is that you can manage to put so much conviction into your reading of the game... I couldn't be sure that you were innocent but I was sure you were making sense .

And I got the sympathy vote ... lol

The assasin role does need a big village and no seer to work "evenly".... I do think the seer role can make the ordo villagers lazy - since nothing could be left to the seer we all had to work.. and the more people say, the easier it is ...in theory at least...

You know, this game was peculiar in that there were two deaths that came almost out of nowhere. Morm's (although, at least now you all know why I was so desperate to save Durelin...) and Lommy's, too. I honestly hadn't been paying much attention to Morm at all and had no particular desire for his lynching - but I did have a very strong un-desire for Durelin's, mine, and Lommy's. That was bizarre. And Lommy's - almost everyone trusted her, and suddenly we're lynching her... I think the village's paranoia must have gone into overdrive.
