For a wolf you are wise, Gurthang.
I can't believe I'm going to have to put up with this for another day. Any chance of mercy, O omnipotent one? ++WAYNE

Couldn't we die side by side? It would be more poignant.

I believe that vote was late Eomer and will be cut off. If not then that is fine for you will die tomorow and to think I nearly killed you today too.

Double lynchings, eh?
The vote won't be cut off surely. Rune died by a late vote.

May I choose death now, Anguirel?
Lhuna, I'm especially sorry for hiding the truth from you. I can't seem to help it.

Thank you morm. Wayne's dead. Sorry spawn, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Eomer is the other Hero, there's no chance he'll survive tomorrow.
Oh, and, Eomer, waiting for the deadline never works... trust me, I know firsthand. *coughWW8cough*

You are not as wise as I thought you were Gurthang.
This is so painful! Where is Anguirel?

But the way it was scheduled means that the next night isn't for—I think it's 2 RL days? What's the point? We might as well end it now.

You'll see very soon, Gurthang.
Elf? Man? Um....I think I'm Captain of the Rohirrim, disguised by the arts of Galadriel. Or whatever Anguirel thought of.

And in-for one of the last times, it seemed increasingly, and late as usual-swirled the whirlwind with its usual tidings of discomfort and gloom.
"Death! Death! Death!" Voting closed.

The Dark Lord's Denouement
The snarling and arguing of the wolves claiming to be Draugluin and Carcharoth and their supporters was abruptly cut short as a formerly mostly overlooked wolf, the quiet and subtle Lobo, made his voice heard.
"Lord Sauron would disapprove of all this discord," Boromir88 was saying. "In Sauron's name, cease your squabbling!" mormegil seconded. "And who are you," Lobo remarked slyly, "to interpret the word of Sauron?" All yellow, weary, bloodthirsty eyes turned straight to the unassuming, small, soft-voiced lurker. mormegil's mouth was open to scoff, when the creature's appearance began to alter somewhat. In moments he stood before the company, a tall, terrifying apparition in dark armour, with a cloak sweeping behind him; until his form coalesced into that of a wolf larger even than Mithalwen, saliva leaking from his unholy jaws. "For I," he explained, "am Sauron." In a moment the Lord of Tol-in-Gaurhoth's commands had been obeyed. All resistance was quelled, all dispute uncompromisingly crushed. The feared and fallen Maia spirit condemned Wayne the Fairy Hunter and the wolf o' nine tails, dancing spawn, to lengthy torture, that they might reveal all they knew, before execution. Wayne went first. But his torture revealed few results, only the occasional pained yelp. When at last he expired from the hideous methods the Dark Lord's minions employed, it was found that most of his tongue was missing, ripped off in some long ago fight. "That explains the worm's silence," Sauron murmured, displeased. "Now the nine-tailed traitor." dancing spawn was tied to the stake on which Meneltarmacil had been impaled, and flayed, very slowly, with her own severed tails. At last she gave an excruciating gasp of agony and her wolf form slid from her, her mind unable to maintain it longer. A She-Elf stood, at her enemies' mercy, lashed to the post. But as Sauron advanced on her, preparing to rend her to shreds in his fearsome wolvish aspect, the Black Warg of Rhun, Eomer of the Rohirrim, leapt between them. "You will abandon the Lady Spawnowen," he cried, "or you will fall by my blade!" A bold human, unarmoured but with a broadsword carried in two hands, stood between Gorthaur and his prey, and the Dark Lord felt fear in his heart, and retreated. Ever eager to safeguard her Lord, Draugluin leapt into the sword's whirring path, and the steel blade struck her hard, sinking deep into her torso; but her vast claws forced Eomer down. The human Hero and the wolvish one died in the same breath. "The Man was courageous, but rash," Sauron concluded. "Now, my loyal servant Carcharoth, the Elf-witch is your plaything. But do not slay her. I wish you to take her to the deepest cell in the Tower, and there to spread the Curse of the Werewolf into her spirit..." So ended a valiant, but hopeless enterprise, the first assault on the Isle of Werewolves; the Dwarf Lord drowned; the Mannish warrior slain; and the Elf Spawnowen cursed to existence as Sauron's minion. Dead Anguirel (Werewolf)-throat cut as he slept on Day 1 Glirdan (Werewolf)-devoured on Night 1 The Saucepan Man (Huan)-murdered by mischance on Day 2 Rune Son Of Bjarne (Dwarven Hero)-drowned in the Sirion through Kitanna's treachery on Night 2 Kitanna (Werewolf)-beheaded in Rune's last act of vengeance on Night 2 Nonnacedak (Werewolf)-mauled mercilessly on Night 3 Meneltarmacil (Werewolf)-hacked to pieces and impaled by Heroes on Day 4 Wayne (Werewolf)-tortured to lingering death on Night 4 Mithalwen (Draugluin)-slain by Eomer's sword-stroke on Night 4 Eomer of the Rohirrim (Hero)-rent in the death-throes of Draugluin on Night 4 Dancing Spawn of Ungoliant-tortured and infected with lycanthropy by Carcharoth on Night 4 Living Mormegil-Crabby Old Wolf Gurthang-Gil-Gurth Formendacil-Lobo Farael-Werewolf In Denial Lhuna-Girl-Who-Cried-Wolf Boromir-Exorcist Specialising in Heroes Oddwen-Bloodthirsty Whelp Kath-Runt of the Litter Happy Gaurhothmas one and all, and don't forget to howl at the moon occasionally. I hope to produce a sequel at some point! WOLVES OF TOL-IN-GAURHOTH WIN!

Congratulations Anguirel. Even as I expected, you were a tremendous moderator.
I'm very glad you saw the sense in ending the game early. Lhuna, I didn't reveal myself earlier on the last night because I was still eagerly racking my brains for a way out. You can even see that where I laid out the Order of Death post where I yet claimed to be a werewolf. Is this where someone totally humiliates me by pointing out a way I could have won?

My fellow Heros you played a good game. . .
I must confess that I feel responsebil for us loosing this game. On day one we were all set to kill Formendacil when I said somthing I will regret for a long long time. We could kill saucepan instead, he has used the eye of Sauron over every post exept the last one. This could be a hint (allthough we doubtet it) and if not it will still be nice to get rid of one so giftet in ww. Well the rest is history! I did not say it like that, but you get the picture. . . |

Well, well, so it ends. I see the game didn't end the way its title hoped it would.
Eomer, I still had no idea you were a hero until the final minutes. Couldn't you have just stuck it out for even just a Night? I could have protected you.. (Or at least died with you. That would have been fun.) So that explains the absence of my protection, but oh well. And yes, great job all. It was mind-boggling and nerve-wracking, but fun nonetheless. Well, Happy Gaurhothmas for me in less than an hour! |

That's very true. We suggested Formendacil because he was being very calm and quiet, just the sort of behaviour a gifted would display. But Rune's suggestion of SpM seemed very insightful. SpM had hinted at his role before by using the post icons.
And to think we spent two nights chasing after Menel the Ordinary! As Werewolf players become more experienced and cleverer, the set-up of this game favoured the wolves. So many gifteds, so few Heroes, and double lynchings. But the major factor in the wolves' victory was the brilliance of Formendacil. His dreams and his timing were spot-on. The perfect Seer. I'm sorry, Lhuna, but these games never go as we plan them. Still, at least I can PM you now.

Wow, I enjoyed this role-reversal as my last game for a few months...it was different, yet in a good way.
Menel and Formendacil get big congrats. Menel for successfully looking like Sauron (and kudos to Mithalwen for sniffing that out). Also, Formendacil for being able to stay hidden and choose the perfect moment to reveal all. Despite sometimes my...frustration towards Gurthang and mormegil, the wolves couldn't have survived without you two there in the end. And to our heroes, despite your loss you really had me fooled. I wasn't onto any of you per say, maybe the most evil looking would be Eomer and I would have gladly voted for him that day, just because it felt to me like he wasn't a loud mouth like he normally did. And I really had no strong suspicions towards Rune or Spawn.

Maybe just a dozen more games and we'll have the "perfect" one, big bro.
And hush! I can almost feel Formendacil's ego bursting from the monitor... |

Well done all. I have to admit that while it was fun playing crabby, it was at times rather difficult too. I really had a hard time insulting people at times. Of course I meant no hard feelings.
It's amazing that we had all three gifteds alive at the end. Had it not been for Formendacil stepping forward I think our hope would have been dwindled and victory would not have been certain. Well done all and thanks for the great modding Ang!

Well, good game to be sure. It looks like my theory wasn't exactly correct, as none of the Heroes were in the Glirdan bandwagon after all. To tell you the truth, I wasn't actually trying to look like Sauron, though. My votes for Rune and Farael were based primarily on voting patterns.
Anyway, thanks, Mithalwen, for saving me earlier. And Eomer, I don't think I'd ever have guessed you were a Hero.

arrgh how could I make such a common mistake.
I would like to appologise to Ang. for the angry/desperate/loaded with self pity PM's I sent when I was about to die. The thing was that 1 min. before what I thought was deadline I was not in any danger, and all of the sudden I was about to get lynched. I acctually got really mad and wantet to strike somebody down in anger. Instead I desided to go to work and be mean to all of my coworkers. The anger was not directet at anybody, but the randomness of the votes I recived. Menel had a theory, but the other just came out of nowhere and with out me having any chance to defend my self. The fact that I thought the game Night had allready ended when this happend did not help at all. This has been the best game of ww I have ever played, for the first time I was not worried about making mistakes and just enjoyed my self until I got killed. (another reason fot beeing so upset about beeing killed) - Rune P.S. I am sorry I had you killed Saucepan P.P.S. Me and Eomer actually agreed on not killing Lhuna because we like to have her in the game. |

Saucie, I did not notice those at all. Still, good thing you were killed early. I can imagine a confusion equal to or greater than the magnitude of that which Fordim caused in XIV. And Rune, what was the whole "I think Lhuna is innocent" thing about? That had me a bit scared for some reason. |

Actually there was several resons. 1. If I got killed it would look odd and maybe cause some confusion. 2. It is what I would have said if I was a wolf. In our last game I noticed how much I agreed with you, then in this game I looked at the post's and tried to find out who I would find suspecios if I was a wolf and yet again you came to the same conclution. How come you guys thought that I had mentioned one of my fellow heroes? When you look at my ignore list it is way longer than the one with people I mention. |

All my notes for this game are on another computer, but maybe Cailin has them? Anyway, I'll post them all a few days after Christmas when I'm back at home.

And suddenly it's all over. That was certainly unexpected, though I doubt the Heroes could have won after mistaking Menel for Sauron.
Since I'm at my parents' house right now, I also don't have any notes - I did save PMs though, so there might be some after Christmas. Though it was indeed pleasant to know exactly what is going on for a change, I could hardly resist interfering with discussions sometimes. Well played, everyone, I fear you are all becoming far too good at this game. And Anguirel - excellent modding. Happy Gaurhothmas, dearest wolves. |

Eomer, I think I was the first to start looking into you (when you out of nowhere accused Wayne), but now it's obvious that I had you for the complete wrong reason! I'm still a little confused as to why you said I was 'wise for a wolf' then 'not as wise' as you had thought. Did mormegil already give the answer or is there another reason? Spawn, I don't think I had ever seriously suspected you. I didn't think you innocent, but that was largely for everyone else's suspicion. Anyway, that was a great job. I just should have stuck with someone in the Nonna bandwagon. morm, fantastic job getting everyone together at the end. We had a few absentees, but you pulled it off. I enjoyed playing with you. Menel, I see you have a new signature (thank you!), I really was wondering if you were just trying to copy my ideas. I guess it was just coincidence, right? Formendacil, great, great job. I don't think I've ever been so relieved in my life. If you hadn't dreamed of me, I'm sure that morm would have had me dead that Night. It was really nice to know that I could trust him and that he could trust me. Rather a freeing feeling, in my mind at least. Anguirel, words can't express. This was a great game. I'm almost sad to say it falls just shy of being number one. I doubt that any game will be able to outdo my Beorning role in WW8. Anyway, that was a spectacular twist, switching wolves and villagers, and a whole lot of fun.
