The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!
Silmaril

Well, that explains a lot. Although the ramifications are, um, interesting, to say the least.

Oh, and as for my "competitive Wolf" theory, here is my pre-game exchange with Fea:

Ah well, it appears to be my Werewolfing lot in life to be mostly ordinary ...

One question about the rules.

I understand that the Wolves do not know each other's identity and may not communicate, but are they still working as a team? Or are they "lone Wolves", with only one of them being able to win?

Yes.

Nope. Mean, innit?

With the wolves, they were never directly competing, but they weren't working together, either. Certainly not as a team.

Funniest thing when I got Eomer's first PM. It was something like Is it possible for a wolf to kill the other wolf at night? I want mormegil to die.

Maybe he kept the exact phrasing, but I laughed hard. And told morm about it.

So he knew Morm was the other wolf... or was it a good guess?

Oh and Eomer amd Morm did fit my offender profiling in all but gender..which was a less even division anyway....

Ahh I really was peeved when they lynched Ang - he was more inclined to embrace the craziness than these analytical types ..and if Bethberry ever plays properly I want to be there.

Lovely. So my suggestion about Fea was actually the most sane and sensible in town...I had an inkling as much at the time. But when I returned in the morning to find myself hanged, I saw red and started baying at my screen for Sauce's blood...

My mid-game quietness was incidentally partially James Bond and partially a ploy...not wanting to get killed at night. Much difference it would have made!

Thanks a lot Vesper, this ranks among my favourite outings. Fancy a brisk trip to Venice?

Of course, dear, but let's avoid the elevators, shall we?

I must contest "who won".

SPM didn't win, even though he was the last confused ordinary standing.

The village didn't win, even though one of them was the last confused ordinary standing.

The werewolves didn't win, neither of them, for obvious reasons.

Bethberry didn't win since she wasn't ever quite playing.

Feanor didn't win since the Dark Lady offed herself.

Winner: excellent writing. Fascinating. Well done, Fea.

I would have lynched Bethberry. Just as I would have lynched myself if Ang had succeeded later on.
