Oh, sure, indeed...

Ah, by the way, my apparent annoyance/taking offense when Agnazir questioned my confusion over Mac and Volo was completely fanged.... er, feigned. She pinned my lie down exactly (I was leaving the door open to switch to Volo if it meant saving Mac, and would have if I had bloody well been able to get online, grr!) and I felt like a truly evil wolf for the first time when I got Agnazir to apologize for being right.

Sorry... (not really, tee hee)

Maybe I should now also mention that I have never heard of a game where the first one to claim to be the Seer is not one, and I guess(ed even then) that neither have you.

I did Mod a game once where there were two seers, but I only told the players there was one, and that caused horrid, horrid confusion.

Nobody seems to realise here, the lackeys at Hollywood won! Those dwarf-throwing, dwarf-needs-box-ing, dwarf-under-warg-ing, dwarf-on-twitching-orc-with-nervous-system-ing, dwarf-desecrators beat us! Gah!

I tried to keep up with this game even though I was killed Day 1, and it was very good, Rikae, you had some ingenious roles! I especially like the spirit of Peter Jackson...

SpM was completely bamboozling the lot of yeh...

Shame Lommy died so early...

On to the next WW game!

Gil-Galad · 05-25-2007, 09:37 PM

i was going to vote shasta, but last game you take it very seriously and launch a revenge-vote half the time and i didn't want to waste it...

but still, i survived quite long, even though the two wolves wanted my head really bad...

Heehee...I did the same thing to...Volo, I think it was, when I was a wolf. I felt a pang of guilt, which was overridden by evil delight...

(Oh, by the way...
it's a lot of hard work to mod a WW game, especially one that has a deadline in the early afternoon. I've had to wear a watch for the last two weeks, something I normally don't do, and I had an allergic reaction to it. Oh, how I suffer for you people! I expect adequate compensation. See that little scales symbol in the corner of my posts...?

Okay, Night 1.

We didn't really have much to talk about. The main discussion was about SPM, who we knew was the Cobbler/Seer from the very start.

If he can choose whom to dream of, it might be good to have him dream of one of us as soon as possible. I would like to step on his toes to make him dream of me (hopefully without attracting suspicions from anybody else), so we have a tiny ability to communicate by hints during the days. It would be of great help to us, but also dangerous if anybody else notices (then again, neither Roa or Nogrod are in this game).

In the end, SPM turned out to be a great ally...I don't think our win would've been possible without him.

SPM- Did you dream of a wolf early on? I'm really curious to see who your choices were each night...

Mithalwen · 05-25-2007, 12:45 PM

Oh that is a bit of an advantage..... knowing who the cobbler was ..... especially when the ordos had no certainty about their gifted.....

I guess my early demise serves me right for keeping the "quest hangs on the edge of a knife" for a later that never came...

Well, I figured a semi-immortal seer and two rangers would balance it out...
and, after all, if Gil or Ang had voted for Di today, it could have ended quite differently.

I was actually hoping they'd get a wolf today, so tomorrow there would be two ordos and one wolf...that would have been fun to watch. Well, maybe not, with everyone so quiet...oh well.

Mithalwen · 05-25-2007, 12:57 PM

It is alwasy hard to judge - at least I found so - I had two whitewash games as mods - the wolves won with 3 gifted and the villages with one...

But the uncertainty over gifteds benefits the wolves since they can lie through their miserable fangs.... *cough* Mac

Mithalwen · 05-25-2007, 01:00 PM

It worries me that Mac remembers my last three games and I don't have a clue - I know I died in Fea's game - have I really played 3 since then?

I checked the last 5 games and noted down how long everybody got to live. You were the only one to survive until the end three times. I don't remember the games or the circumstances.

Magic.

*raises eyebrow*

Rule of thumb...never be surprised by how much trivia Macalaure knows about Barrowdowners. That man has way too much time on his hands, I tell you.

I'm tempted to answer for SPaM, but I'll let him post his dreams himself...
