WWJ IX: Psychotic Penguins: The Crossing of Helcaraxë

[Thinlómien]

Stop. Ang's death in a while.

[Thinlómien]

Roa started the Day by blinking. Then she began: “I was afraid of this....
Quite the conumdrum, indeed.” After that she went on to try and solve it with a host of analysis thrown to her fellow Elves.

Given one more day to live – by his own words, the phantom quickly presented his master plan. Everyone agreed to it. And the flow of analysis – or were they summaries – continued with a steady pace throughout the Day.

Valier had been convinced of Anguirel’s guilt and stated it from the early morning onwards. Soon she started a campaign, holding various plackards, saying:

”ANG MUST GO!!” and ”HE IS EVIL!” and ”DO NOT LET HIM FOOL YOU!” and “KILL, ANG NOW!” and “IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!”

“Wow, Val is going nuts. Is that normal?” the phantom asked confused, sharing the uneasiness with Eancaitare and Firefoot.

“Nuts? I like nuts! mmmmmm nuts”, Valier answered, pulling another protest sign:
”ANG IS NUTS!! NUTS, NUTS, NUTS!“ After that she continued her picketing “ANG IS BAD!” and ”EMPEROR, SHMEMPEROR !!” and “I'M NOT AFRAID OF BIRDS!”

Many were suspected, but the Elves were going basically to two directions, either to Ang or then to Dimwë (although she had taken care of Kitanna’s corpse for the day quite well). At one point Valier even threatened the others with a suicide if Ang wouldn’t be lynched, but it seemed not to help her crusade. Dimwë’s heartbeat dashed. Valier was crying ever louder: “Not her, not her! Wouldn't it be faster if we just kill Ang today? Just leave Dia for today and you will see I am no Loon!!! Kill Ang!” but Firefoot and Encaitare took Dimwë from the shoulders and Anguirel took a chandelier. Just then Roa jumped forward sighing and sided with Valier. “Alright, I don't want to see Diamond dead yet. So it will be you Anguirel!” Firefoot and Encaitare let go of Dimwë.

“I won’t die without a fight!” Anguirel shouted, his eyes flashing. He took a great mace that hung on the ceiling and swung it threateningly.
“Begone, foul dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion! Leave innocents in peace!” Valier answered, picking Kitanna’s ranger sword from the ground.
“I won’t watch this tomfoolery!” Ang declared.
“Do what you will; but I will hinder you, if I may.”
“Hinder me? Thou fool. No chambermaid may hinder me.”
“But no mere chambermaid am I! I am the confidante of Lady Elenwë”
All the beholders were frozen by their fear; no one but Valier had dared to approach Ang in his fury, nor to resist his deadly mace. Roa clenched her hand. Valier should not die, so innocent, so desperate!
Valier swung her sword. As a minstrel Anguirel was used to prancing around and easily warded off the strike. The fact that Valier didn’t hit didn’t lessen his wrath. With a cry of hatred that stung the very ears like venom he let fall his mace. Valier’s arm was broken and she stumbled to her knees. He raised his mace to give another blow.
But suddenly he too stumbled forward with a cry of bitter pain, and his stroke went wide, driving into the ground. Roa’s dagger had stabbed him from behind.
“Valier, Valier!” cried Roa. Then tottering, struggling up, with her last strenghth Valier drove her sword through Anguirel. The sword broke sparkling into many shards.

Anguirel was dead. His Elven body was laying on the floor.

Have we killed our first innocent with our own hands? The question hung grimly in the air, though no one voiced it.

Overtaken by sadness, they turned for the last time to their dead friend Anguirel. To their astonishment they saw that it was no longer the Anguirel they had known that lay on the floor. It was something like this.
When they were still staring it, they saw it slowly being consumed by an inner fire. In minutes, only ash remained.

Congrats to all innocents, you have won.

The official game has now ended.

However, there will be a final final narration that reveals the fates of the Elves and their lady Elenwë, and the origin of the evil penguins, and it will be up in 24 hours.

[Nogrod]

You can discuss freely now.

[Lalaith]

Oh well done elves! And bravo to the mods for some wonderful deaths, I don't think I've enjoyed the denouments so much in any game.
Valier, another scarily inspired divination, how do you do it?
SO, who was the real Hunter? Valier herself?
And as for you, Angurliel....

[Roa_Aoife]

*hugs Valier* You are the most awesomest player ever! Your instincts are just phenomenal. I swear, you have got to be psychic.

[Nogrod]

That was a brave bunch of Elves! No ordos were killed during the Days! Kudos to you all!

Valier, you are just scary...

Btw. meaning before you ask, the roles were given out totally at random (we had a deck of cards and a card nominated to every player here). The three species of penguins were also picked beforehand and their characters in the narrations evolved within the frames of the storytelling. We surely were sad to miss the opportunity to continue the chatting between the Rockhopper and the Chinstrap after Day1.

Even though I have in a way made also my congrats in Lommy's official post earlier, I would still like to do it in this more personal way (as the in-game narrations have all been made together, with the same keyboard - and the fight for both the keyboard and the ideas).

Well done people! (not Elves anymore?)

[Valier]

No I'm not psychic. I just watch how people interact and who the players are in general, then who the mod or Mods are and who I think they would pick and so on. After awhile I just go with my high suspects and watch the way the people I attack act. I have no idea... but I'm glad we won. I thought I was really going to go crazy today if Ang was not killed. Sorry to everyone for being so loony!!! Nice narrations LomGrod they were great!!

[Thinlómien]

Valier, you're creepy. And your hunches are just incredible.

Ang, you were my favourite.

Well played everyone. Yes, every single one of you.

I must admit that I was in a way on the penguins' side, but hear my three reasons before you start to scream and neg-rep me...
1) If they had stayed alive longer, we could have written more narrations. Writing them is real fun.
2) Can you imagine me not supporting penguins? That would just be against my deepest nature...
3) You innocents were doing such an awesome job except that you managed to lose all your gifteds except the hunter, who I will let come out themself, that I felt the baddies needed some support...

Honestly, that was the most awesome, analytical and non-nonsense village I've probably ever seen.

Congrats for a great game!

[Roa_Aoife]

So, phantom was lying to us the whole time. And you used the idea of being a gifted to further your own agenda, too. I ask you, what would have happened if you had been killed and Valier had been guilty? The real hunter may have had to come forward, and then all our gifted's would be revealed. Or we would have lynched the real hunter because we believed you. It was terribly reckless of you.

Okay, I'm done chiding for the moment.

[Diamond18]

Hahahahahahaha! And my perfect "Never been lynched" record still stands.

Valier, you're amazing. *mwah* Sorry to have doubted you on earlier days. If only I hadn't been thinking of Ang as innocent for so long.... But at least I got it in time.

Who was it who said, "Good thoughts, Ang" in response to his last crazy tirade against me? Oh, yeah, that was you tp. Well you're forgiven because you changed your vote in time.

Great game, Lomgrod! I'll be looking forward to the final, final narration.

[the phantom]

Well you're forgiven because you changed your vote in time.

Of course I did. You didn't think I'd try and save you, m'dear?

So, phantom was lying to us the whole time.

Yep.

I ask you, what would have happened if you had been killed and Valier had been guilty?

Do you honestly think Valier would've killed me when I was "hunting" her? Even if you could find a Penguin crazy enough to consider doing that, I doubt anyone actually would.

The way I saw it, if I got killed then Val was innocent, plus there would still be a Hunter left. A rather nice set up for the village if you ask me. My plan was basically to improve the odds of having a proven innocent left hanging about at the end.

The real hunter may have had to come forward, and then all our gifted's would be revealed.

Why in the world would the real Hunter do that? No no. I was providing our Hunter with cover. And my whole "think like a gifted plan" for getting everyone to state their fake-Hunts- that was so just in case the REAL Hunter got killed during the night we would know precisely who the pick was, and thus have another proven innocent.

Or we would have lynched the real hunter because we believed you.

Well, not getting lynched would be the Hunter's responsibility. I was hoping that the real Hunter would find a way to drop me a hint as to their identity so that I could keep them from getting lynched, and at the same time keep them under suspicion (to avoid being killed by the Penguin right away).

Unfortunately I didn't have a whole lot of time to snoop for clues, so I just made the best guesses I could. You, Roa, along with Valier were the two I was trying to make sure survived until tomorrow. When I have more time I'll explain why I thought you were the Hunter at first and then why I became convinced that it was Valier (and why I put pressure on her despite thinking her innocent).

But it seems that I was wrong about both of you being the Hunter. I'll just have to wait and see who it was.

[Firefoot]

It was me! Me! I was the Hunter! Not phantom, me!

Okay, I've been wanting to say that for a while now... phantom stealing all my thunder while I'm sitting in line to get lynched. But I let him have his way, since it seemed a reasonable way to keep an innocent around, and might tell us something about the penguins (can't tell you how many times I've had to back up because I said wolves... there probably are some places that I didn't catch myself). Well done, phantom, it was a clever move. But you've been killing me over here!

Great game everybody. Even if I was wrong... a lot... I kind of had fun being way out there for once. For a while there I thought you all were going to break my record though... never been lynched as an innocent. Of course, if you were aiming to do that I would have had to reveal myself. Sometimes sitting back and waiting for the wolves to kill you gets a bit old, y'know. It was a... weird game for me.

[Diamond18]

Sorry if I clutter the thread, I just didn't get chances to make these replies being gone:

Firefoot... how did you go from having me as your Ranger pick to voting for me? I don't understand. *scratches head* At any rate, I'm glad you turned out innocent because... well... that means I was right about you.

How convenient.

How very.

I trust the scary accuracy of Valier's instincts, so it seemed pretty clear to me that if she was "wrong" she was evil. But once I actually looked at Ang close enough he felt so wrong that I really started to believe in Valier's innocence. Having her so sure kind of helped me to believe in my own doubts about him, despite it not fitting in nicely with one of my pet theories. That, and Ang calling that theory a "distraction" which screamed so loudly, "I know you're wrong Diamond," that I considered it a fairly wolifsh slip.

Gee, thanks. So, did you ever think I was actually guilty?

[Diamond18]

So Firefoot was the Hunter, eh? I thought even before Mac's death that phantom might be bluffing, because it seemed awfully conveinent for him to be both a proven innocent and the Hunter. And if anyone is going to be cheeky enough to fake being a Gifted, it's tp. I actually started typing out this suspicion a couple times but then I backspaced because I thought, "Really, that kind of speculation can only help the penguins." I'm not sure I could have kept silent if I was in Firefoot's position, so kudos to you for that, O ineFfeble one.

The possibility of you not saving me did cross my mind.

Well, actually, the fact that when I came on here I saw that Roa was that last to post at around 6 PM (one hour after deadline) pretty much spoilt the suspense for me. I knew I wasn't going to die because the game couldn't be over if I had died. But that didn't stop me from yelling, "Stop giving Valier a hard time and vote ANG already!" at my monitor while I caught up on the posts.

[JennyHallu]

I thought Roa was the third penguin...despite her masterfully innocent innocentness. But in my defense, this is why:

Oh, if only you had had more time, youwould have been terribly troublesome! At least you took the place of a penguin. Interesting hint, by the way.... ~Roa

For some reason I decided this rep was a subtle hint that she was the penguin.

And lynching me that day was not fair!!

:P

[Diamond18]

Poor Jenny, will you ever get to be good again?

[Encaitare]

Wow. And here I thought Valier was just totally crackers.

Phantom, you cheeky SOB.

Hmmm... apparently cool and seemingly apathetic is the way to play it. I learn new things every game -- this game I was "recruited" for and felt pretty calm about the whole thing. I've learned that self-defense is pointless and often digs you in deeper, so I was pleased to note that just playing it cool and letting my votes speak for my innocence worked out well for me.

Great playing, everyone!

[the phantom]

So, Firefoot was the Hunter, eh? I'm sooooo glad you didn't come forward and argue with me when I claimed to be the Hunter. When I considered the type of people populating the village, I thought the odds of the Hunter keeping their mouth shut were pretty good, and I'm glad I wasn't wrong about that.

Right after I said I was the Hunter, Roa said this-

Thanks for your help, phantom, and good luck. Three gifteds in three nights... oh dear... Just be wary of crafty birds.

I was on the lookout for reactions from people, trying to see if someone struck me as the true Hunter. For some reason this statement caught my eye. It was like Roa was trying to enforce that I was gifted, and the "oh dear" comment was like a smirking "oh dear *snigger*, we're about to lose our fake Hunter".

It's obvious now that the comment wasn't written with that intent, but that's how part of me was trying to read it. My overworked, sleepy brain.

But then I started to believe that Valier was the Hunter. If you remember, on day 3 I eased my suspicions of her and took her off my lynch list (which was three people, two of them were Penguins! go me! ha ha!) Val's behavior seemed to indicate she didn't fear death too much, and her single-minded attack on Ang made me think even more that she was innocent. The particular frustration she seemed to have with me- I thought maybe it stemmed from the fact that SHE was the very Hunter I was trying to help and yet I was giving her a hard time.

Once I started thinking that she might be the Hunter, I decided I would keep her under the gun and bet that the Penguin wouldn't kill her that night, but at the same time I didn't keep her under the gun to the extent that I actually started a crusade to lynch her. I wasn't going to let that happen, despite my threats.

And if I waffled on my threats, I knew no one could possibly accuse me of anything, because I was a proven innocent. As a proven I pretty much had a permit to do anything I pleased.

Thanks for the dream, Lalaith.

Despite believing that she might not be the Hunter after all, I still thought Roa was innocent. Unfortunately, it seemed like everyone did. I say "unfortunately", because Penguins kill people who are too innocent. I thought Roa was the likely Penguin choice for the next night, so I didn't place Roa as my least suspicious person. Instead I put Spawn there, and tried to make Spawn look completely innocent.

I picked Spawn because I thought she would be a good Penguin kill (yes, Spawn, I was trying to set you up for death- sorry). I was pretty confident of Spawn's innocence (I've been a Wolf with her before, and that helped my thinking), and I was also pretty confident she was not the Hunter. I've played with her enough to know a bit about how she acts, and I was fairly confident that a Hunter-Spawn would find a way to hint me.

So, since she was an innocent that was distracting people's attention and I didn't think she was the Hunter, I tried to make her look completely innocent so the Penguin would choose to kill her at night.

Good thinking.

[Anguirel]

I have one request. Lalaith, I was rather dreading being called Angurliel. Could you desist? Please? It's not my fault I was chosen as a Penguin. What's more, I didn't actually win...

This was a fairly gruelling game, but at least I have the satisfaction of knowing I was beaten by the clearheaded rationale of the unpushy, laid back, relaxed, persuasive Valier...

Thankyou to both mods. You were great. phantom, you should take an Oxford degree in Werewolf Studies. Diamond, you will remain forever Audrey.

[Naria]

Absolutely superb playmanship!! I don't believe I've seen a junior village as active as this one. I really had fun in this one.....even if I was oober quite.

Valier, where do you get such annoyingly-super-bang on intuitions? I just couldn't believe it when you started to go after Ang and wouldn't let up. I thought- Oh no here we go again! At that point I was sreaming at the screen- Ang get back on you need to do something and stop her before people actually start listening.

Again, great game everyone!

Kudos to both mods. Really, really great narrations Thanks for the role as well; it was nice being a baddie again.

[Lalaith]

Could you desist? Please?

Oh very well. Never let it be said I kicked a man when he was down. And you fought a valiant fight, after all. Even if you did exploit me and my silly list of suspects to your own pinguescent ends...

I was sad when I had to out myself. I was so excited about being Seer, I'd never been one before...I don't think I was very good at it at all, a good seer should have been able to stay hidden for more than a day. I was just very, very lucky with my first dream. There were a lot of players I thought it *vital* to know about, but in the end I chose Boromir from my memories of WWX. He was Mr Nice Guy, everybody liked him, everybody trusted him....a very dangerous character indeed, if on the evil side.
I was so cross though when I screwed up in my "strategy" on the first day and nearly got lynched. I've never been an early lynching candidate before, I just didn't think it would happen. Complacency is the worst WW fault, and I was guilty.

I wanted, as I said in my PMs to the mods, to lie that Phantom was the Hunter when I dreamt of him, but I thought it was too risky, the real hunter might not realise what I was up to and try to out me as a false seer. So instead I left the wording, in my revelation, ambigious enough for Phantom to do it himself once I was dead, I reckoned he would do it....

Valier's instincts are indeed amazing (her placard routine was also hilarious) but kudos also to Roa for spotting Boro on the first day like that. I thought she must be a WP, I was finding it very hard to make a convincing case against him and thought that only another WP would know he also was a WP...
One thing about this village, I don't know if it was the high calibre of the players or what....when I came to my composing my leaving list of suspects, I couldn't understand why I had such a vague and unclear feeling about everything...then I realised it was only Day Two. We really moved fast, Day One was almost like Day Two or Three....did any of the rest of you find this...?

[Anguirel]

I might as well tell you something amusing.

I had given up hope and was planning to attack the phantom the moment he chose me as a target.

Had I been able to do so, I might have been "proven innocent" and waltzed through...

[Nogrod]

Yes indeed! We were just amazed as went on reading your gaming. And really: the next time someone starts whining about Day1's unusefulness or randomness, we can always cite this game as an example!

[Macalaure]

You did well in killing me, Anguirel.

First, because RL kept me busy much longer than I thought.
Second, because all the time I was seperated from the internet one thought kept rotating in my mind: "I need to look at Ang."
But it seems, fortunately, like my help was not needed anyway.

I came back yesterday evening with my best intentions to read through everything that has been posted and then sadly saw that I was no more. It made the decision hunt-penguins-on-downs vs. watch-football-with-friends a lot easier.

Still I need to ask you: why me? To leave a cold trail like some were thinking?


Chapeau to Nogrod and Thinlómien. The narration and the deaths were just great. That first penguin image gave me an uneasy sleep that night.

And chapeau to us villagers. We were going quite precisely after penguins and cobblers without lynching one innocent. Has that ever happened before in WW history?

[JennyHallu]

Actually, phantom, I was intensely doubtful that you were any sort of Hunter. That was just...far too convenient. Unfortunately, I couldn't say anything without being horrendously obvious...just sit there imagining how good it would feel to actually be a penguin and call your bluff.

[Mithalwen]

* Cough *Return to Midsomer Mawlin, wolves lynched on days 1, 2 & 3, in no small measure due to a very successful Boro-seer.

[Nogrod]

It took a while for the Elves to understand that they had defeated their foes. They began to laugh from relief and embraced each other.

In the midst of all the joy, they heard a broken voice speaking: ”They all died because of me.” Valier and Roa were the first to recognise it. “Lady Elenwë? You’re alive!” Valier cried out in astonishment, forgetting the pain in her broken arm. “I almost thought I had failed you, Milady”, Roa said, kneeling before her Mistress, tears in her eyes.

Everyone gathered around their Lady, relieved to see her. “What happened to you? And what has happened to us? What is this place?”

Elenwë tried to push the questions away. “We don’t have time, my friends. All I can tell you is that this island is inhabited by an evil spirit, one of the fallen Maiar, a former servant of Ulmo, who rejected his master and lent an ear to Melkor’s lies and became allured by them. He controls those damned birds, tortures their souls to make them do his bidding. As a cruel game, he took over three of you, Boromir, Naria and Anguirel, and turned them against the others. He stole their fëar and your friends became enslaved by an evil spell. The creatures you slew were but a mere shadow of your friends an alien spirit had taken over, making their bodies to obey him over their own fëar, and giving them the dark power of lycantrophy.”

The Elves were looking at her in disbelief, their mouths trying to formulate the most pressing questions, but Lady Elenwë continued in haste: “Now you must run! I’ll come to your help!”
She rushed out from the Great Hall and through the doors, leaving the confused Elves standing to the Hall.
“What did she say?” asked Dimwë.
“I’m not sure, but we will just have to follow her. Now!” answered the phantom and took after Lady Elenwë. Roa and Valier had already started after her. Firefoot, spawn and Encaitare followed them. Dimwë glanced once more to the Hall and noticed Kitanna still tied to the chair. “I promised to look after you, and so I will. Even if I’m dim-witted, I’m not dim-hearted.” She untied the ropes and took Kitanna’s bruised and soulless body by the hand. “Maybe someone can make you brighter than me again one day.”

And there was a ship down at the shore! It was very small, but still, it was a ship. All the Elves ran down the hill to reach it. Hurriedly they jumped aboard while lady Elenwë stood beside the ship and called them to hasten. When they had all gotten to the ship, lady Elenwë loosened the rope with which it had been moored and threw it onboard. The Elves were stunned as the ship took off without Lady Elenwë. Elenwë’s personal guard Roa and her chambermaid Valier ran to the rail and yelled to her in anguish “What is this? Come with us! We’ll just steer this back to take you on.”

“Nay, my dear friends. You have to go by your own. I’m bound to this Valar-forsaken island, but because of your success in the macabre game of his, you have earned your freedom. But make haste! I can’t promise that his word can be trusted” she called them back, waving her hand to say farewell.

The Elves onboard were agitated and stricken by the sudden revelation. The ship was slowly but steadily sailing away from the shore. Firefoot leaned to the rail and shouted back to her: “Why? Why aren’t you coming with us?”

“Tell my husband and my daughter that I loved them dearly!” she replied and turned her back to the Elves and the Sea that washed the shores of both Aman and Beleriand. With a heavy heart she started climbing back to the palace, and towards her fate.

The ship disappeared to the horizon, and no living soul ever saw the lost Elves nor spoke with them. Thus the tale of Elenwë was forgotten and the fate of the lost became a mystery – and the mystery became a legend.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

I was right about our sir Anguirel since Day 1! Boy, this feels good.

Thank you, Lommy and Nogrod, for great modding! The penguin pics were a clever idea, especially the first one that looked seriously murderous gave me the creeps. Too bad you didn't get to write any more deaths because they were hilarious. Oli ihan sairaan hauska peli! Kiitos.



Ms. Chinstrap, Mr. Rockhopper and Mr. Emperor, that was very brave of you...



... you just didn't have much luck.

Actually, I was a bit sad to see you go so early because it was fun playing with all of you. Some other time, then.

Lalaith - You chose your dreams perfectly. Even though you were forced to reveal yourself in the beginning, I don't doubt your picks had a huge effect on the outcome. Well done!
Macalaure - That was a great performance in your first game.
phantom - Well, you already know that you're awesome, so I don't think people need to go saying that out loud anymore.
Valier - Great job defending your views so persistently! I hope I'm never a baddie in a village where you are an innocent.
Roa - You were so helpful that at one point I thought that it had to be a bluff... yeah, me and my logics. You spotting Boro right away was great.
Firefoot - It's a pity that you didn't get your kill (that would've been fun), but the bright side of this is that you stayed alive to enjoy the victory. Well done hiding your identity.
Jenny - Your open defense of the penguins was hilarious. Good job fulfilling your duty; postponing the death of the culprits.
Kitanna - I'm sorry you had to reveal yourself, and you can blame my vote for it, too. Still, you being able to protect Lalaith was a big help.
Encai - It was interesting to read the statistics you gathered, so thanks.
Diamond - The perfect Audrey! I've wondered how on earth you manage to do so many analyses, but anyway, they are really handy. Thanks for making one for me, too.

[Thinlómien]

Nice pic, spawn. It seems it was a good choice not to take a gentoo penguin with us...

I confess I would have liked Diamond to die on Day4. Not only because Ang wouldn't have died yet and so we mods would have gotten to write more narrations, but also because I already had an idea for her death. She would have been pinned to a tree by a spear and the buried to a mound. The mound would later have been known as Haudh-en-Audrey.

[Farael]

Well guys, I browsed this game very lightly, and well, well done to you ordos. The narrations were... how should I say it? interesting but in a good way, good job to the mods!!

Anyway, I wanted to leave you guys with a really nice picture.. I hope you all enjoy it.... and let's hope it works




Ok, I previewed this post and it sort of work... not the best quality, but I hope you guys get what's going on in there

[Diamond18]

The mound would later have been known as Haudh-en-Audrey.

Ha! Now I almost wish I had died. I'm sure you would have all slaughtered Ang mercilessly the very next day, anyway.

Nah, I liked surviving past him.

[Naria]

Ha ha, very funny Farael! Is that a Chinstrap perhaps? And yes that's exactly what I did this game....fell flat on my face . However, I did think that Ang did a wonderful job and Boro, if left alive, would have done the same. Bringing the Pengus to a victory .

Spawn, hilarious....I loved your pic !

Well done all you blasted elves, certainly tough.

I apologize to my teammates for giving such a bad disadvantage at the start, even with getting the Seer and Ranger revealed, there was just a great group of players by all to foil our plans.

I was reading most for a couple days, but I've been so piled up and busy I got behind right around Naria's death, so hopefully I can finish up the rest here.

And actually Mac I wasn't trying to make you look bad if I died (well maybe I was just a bit). But had I been an ordinary innocent I still would have seen your play as an innocent villager and so as a sneak penguin that's exactly what I said.

Another good job to Valier, I don't know how the heck she does it. And I was getting a kick the first couple days after, because everyone was looking at my innocent list, but none of my partners were there.

I don't know whether to praise Lalaith and Roa, or scowl at them, well still it was a job well done. Especially the sparks at the end that got created and unravelled. I wished I was there at the end when it was all happening, I was thinking had I been there I would have posted my Parley rights and no one would be able to touch me. Still I'm sorry for whatever pain I caused in that first day for giving you such a difficult time...well not really.

Then I kind of regretted coming out against them so strongly, because as Ang quite blatantly put it there really was no reason to (I really need to work on my Day 1's and get along with everyone...or maybe just not talk so much). Though it forced Lal to come out, that got me automatically lynched, and had I not been so strong, I was going to try to convince my buds to kill Lalaith that night. But alas again she foiled my plans.

phantom, of course if it was your strategy as a wolf it was a good strategy to use...just bad timing I guess.

And a very special congrats to Lommy and Nogrod, the narrations were absolutely great.

Sorry to have read only the first posts, but I got hungry during the third post... Anyway, where is the cook? There should be a cook in the game...

Well, the idea is totally great! Will read this whole topic, in few (~10) hours.

Volo you do know this game is long over right? Check out the Tol- in-Gurhoth thread or the Werewolf junior thread for upcoming games.
