Yeah... I stand by what I was saying: Idiots!

20/20 hindsight is great isn't it? And it may not have been a bravura performance - but I lived longer than you

Actually.... I've got to ask...

Assuming that Glirdy and I had tied votes at the end of Day 1, would my assumption that I (having garned the votes first) have been lynched, be correct?

I've heard some whining that I didn't do myself any favours by waiting so long reveal my seerness- but the fact is that until the last minute (which is when I posted in revelation) I hoped to survive the Night.

By the time I posted that Morm was innocent, it looked plain to me that I was going to be lynched- so I made sure that the village knew who I'd dreamed of. Mith coming along and saving me merely meant that the Wolves had to finish me off, instead of the village.

I realise that but it still seemed the best thing to do despite it make me look like a bungling idiot

Well for you, I agree it was best...

But for me, I had no idea you were coming back. By that point, it looked like my fate was sealed... and I didn't want my Seership COMPLETEY wasted.

Being the seer can be tricky because you must be moderately suspicious but not enough to get you killed. I wasn't going to be lynched in one game but the problem was that our hunter thought I was guilty enough to kill me

. I cannot decide which role I enjoy the most...Seer or WW. Both I don't get enough

Actually given that we didn't have a ranger, I wasn't surprised that you kept your reveal to the last minute. Maybe you idn't help yourself by not revealing, but you certainly wouldn't have helped yourself by revealing any sooner. We had you either way.

Though, honestly, I thought you were just an easy lynch. i had no idea you were the gifted until I logged back on several hours after the deadline and read through the rest of the Day. There was even some discussion amongst us the following night that you were possibly bluffing to keep yourself alive and draw fire from the actual seer. Not so badly done, in regards to hiding your identity.

That's one of the reasons I admire her gaming. She's an overkill!

Actually, no, I posted as soon as I had it done. Same in regards to my case against you. I really have been busy, and I swear, I clocked out as soon as I said I did. Lucky for me, the whole village was quiet. (Really, I hate quiet villages, even as a wolf. There's hardly any challenge in swaying the vote, as I demonstrated.) Thanks for the compliment, though. Bold is beautiful!

One thing I also am a bit baffled about was the consensus of me being suspicious. Forgive me, but would a wolf play like that?

Why not? It's what I do.

Maybe next time I try the under-radar stuff? (probably get killed on Day1 just for that reason...)

I'll try to get lynched no matter how you play, if that's any comfort. *bats eyes*

Don't sweat that. Aside from LMP's super hunter in deuling wizards and Lomgrod's logical hunter in psychotic penguins, I believe the sole purpose of the hunter is to kill the seer. Find a hunter that hasn't, and I'll personally congratulate them (it doesn't count if they didn't die, or if the seer died before they did, though.)

Nogrod · 07-09-2006, 09:52 PM

Could it be more anemic? People don't participate in the game, don't want to get involved in the game (but just to lynch those who would involved themselves) and don't bother to discuss it afterwards?

Then with a pretty small village they have three werewolves and lose in straight Days just because of not trying. And people don't even bother to complain! Yeah, that's life. No can do...

Thanks Valesse for trying, but this village seemed to have been dead even before it started?

Bad luck - or something else...
