I apologise for being such a non-entity toDay. I left work only 2 hours ago, and now I'm working an extra job, using an elderly laptop. :
I wanted to look at all the ones who'd been among the quiet ones, meaning Boro, Izzy, and Kitanna. All three appear to have been more active toDay though. But anyway... Quote:

I forgot about the DL shift too. That last post took forever to write, and this lousy computer logged me off before I could send it.
Bloody hell. ++Kitanna I don't know what Boro is, but I don't have time to do anything else toDay. The odds are with us getting a wolf, though. x/d with Sally. Gah!

Izzy - what I said in my last list, and before, + a bit of wild guessing, + running out of time.

Mostly because there is less than two minutes left, and I am unsure about Kitanna.. too many wolves.

Boro is dead. He was team Aphid's hunter.
With him went Izzy. She was....the innocent ranger. Dun dun dun!

Kit is dead. The last thing she saw? Her evil plans for Team Aphid being burned. *cackles*
To make that perfectly clear.... The Living Pitch Dun Wilwa Elf-Warrior The Dead Kit: Seer!wolf, Team Aphid Everyone else ETA: Pitch was saved by the remaining ranger. Erm....that pretty much means the game's over, actually. *shifty eyes* As far as I know anyway. I won't reveal everything just in case Lottie's got a trick up her sleeve, but that means Team Aphid is kaput.

Game Over
"I like being evil," Pitchie said.
"Me too," Zil said. "Wanna kill Kit?" "Sure!" "No!" Kit said. "I kill Pitchie instead!" "Nah," Zil said. "I like Pitchie." "Dang," Kit said. "Okay then, I die." "Yay," Pitchie said. "Now what?" Zil asked. "Let's go kill the rest," Pitchie said. "Sure! Yo, Elfie!" "Yeah?" "We're killing you!" "Oh. So, moddess, do I get my unicorn revival?" "No," Lottie said, for some reason reappearing in the scene. "Too late." "Darn," Elfie said, and died. "Now Wilwa!" Zil said. "No, wait!" Wilwa said. "I'm the anti-lover. I'm not against your victory!" "Oh, fine," Pitchie said. "You can live, I guess." "Oh, yay," Wilwa said. ~~~ Team Ladybug (Pitchie and Zil) win. Antilover (Wilwa) wins. Village loses. Lovers lose.

The Quest is achieved, and now all is over. I am glad you're here with me. Here at the end of all things, Zil.
Or in other words, Gimme five! Congratulations to you as well, wilwa! Now back to bed, more tomorrow.

Excellent! The Ladybugs prove that having a less than intimidating name need not be a detriment.
First off, thanks for modding, Lottie! It was an interesting concept, with a good variety of roles. This was quite a different game with the second wolfpack and the Unicorns. Add in the Lovers and the AL and there was a lot on our plate. We caught some lucky breaks which proved decisive. The first was the Night 2 kill of Nerwen, leading to the deaths of Sally and Shasta. We had no idea Nerwen was the Hunter; she was just someone else who we thought should be gotten rid of as a proactive measure, if we couldn't get Nog. Obviously, we weren't the only ones thinking along those lines. Speaking of Nog, our LommySeer!wolf had dreamed of him the first Night and was able to tell us before Day 1 that he was the good Seer. We had decided to leave him for the Night, and not risk trying to lynch him. But then he had to ruin our plan with a reveal. And he was right in that we couldn't bring ourselves to trust the Aphids to kill him on Night 3, leading to both packs getting him. It was helpful that Nog produced Legate on Day 2, certainly, instead of one of us. I was very glad to see Nog go, as I was convinced he'd be pushing hard for my lynch the next Day, if he hadn't come up with another wolf. We also got lucky with the Day 3 lynch of Boro, who was kind enough to take out Izzy the Ranger. To that point, we'd been thinking Izzy was probably an Aphid, and Kit the likely Ranger. I thought TEW did an outstanding job, in the first game I'd played with him. I'll try to post some our PMs with my packmates' permission. In one of them, I note that TEW on Day 3 correctly identified all four of the remaining wolves! He certainly went after me. And good game Aphids! A most formidable pack. You had some bad luck, to be sure. First, you lost Legate to a Seer dream, then Boro the next Day. His lynch really came out of the blue for me, but I was quite happy with the result. We identified Kit on the last Night through process of elimination. Luckily, I had protected myself the previous Night, leaving me able to save Pitch Night 4. Wilwa wins as the scorned Anti-Lover. Thanks for voting Boro and not me! Last, but not least. Well done, packmates! I'm sorry you had to go so soon, Lommy. I found it exasperating (but not surprising) that Nog had to dream of you the first Night. Then again, you returned the favour. We just couldn't act against him the way he did to you. Pitch was tremendous. "Mr. Agreeable", indeed. He helped cheer me up Night 3, as I agonised over what awaited me the next Day if Nog was still around. And our discussions in the Night were quite enlightening. LADYBUGS!!

I'm still kicking myself. The Night I died, I had a shortlist of people to hunt: Boro, Kit, Pitch, Legate... and Sally.

Don't feel bad, dear. I was laying such thick lover hints so that I could come out the next Day or so as the anti-lover. Then I was going to get Wilwa killed and offer myself to the highest bidder, hanging back in the shadows until I'd decided who I wanted to truly align myself with. The odds wouldn't have been good for the village.
Also, when I died I was talking to Lottie and I completely pegged everyone's gifts and roles except like one person. I was quite pleased with myself, 'cause (as usual) I was going all on gut and had little evidence for what I thought. ^_^ Oh, and whoever left the anonymous neg rep for doing the moddess' bidding (though I doubt it was anyone in the game, because you're all lovely people and far too kind and intelligent to do that) pfffft on you. I follow directions from Her Highness regardless of chicken liver repping. Bwahahahaha, mine is an evil laugh, etc. (Also, thanks to Lottie herself of course for letting me/telling me to have fun post-mortem. I did in fact enjoy myself, even if I didn't do a whole lot of consequence in the game.)

Congrats all.
I kind of suspected the innocents would lose, seems to happen every time I am the Ranger.. Eeeek. Haha. I had thought about forgoing the protection on Nog Night 2, but whenever I gamble, the opposite tends to happen. So, I figured protecting him was better than losing him. And just envisioned the Princess Bride in my head. I think that is the first time I've ever been hunted.

First of all, Thank you to everyone who played. *snuggles you guys*
Secondly, thank you to my wonderful Ladybug pack for making me laugh with every pm. First Lommy and Nog dream each other (which is still funny), then: Quote:

Also...yeah. If you didn't notice, Sally became "Official Botherer of Living" after that neg-rep...quite vexing, really, if I'd wanted her to be quiet I would have told her and she would have respected my wishes.

I think the first night I was hunting wilwa. We thought Nog was going to be protected, so just went with someone I thought was probably innocent. The plan though was, if Nog wasn't dead, and he revealed me, I was going to get lynched and pick him. Then he goes and dreams of Legate. *head-desk* You played that role probably as good as it could have been played Nog.

Heh. Before I left for the retreat that ended up being on this weekend (sorry about that, guys, there was confusion and misinformation and I didn't know it was *this* weekend... ) I saw that *one* vote and kind of freaked...my thoughts were mostly "he is *NOT* getting himself killed and taking the *RANGER* with him because his *PACKMATE* voted him!!!!" Then I calmed down and saw the humourous value in the situation.
And thanks again to Sally for acting as co-moddess when I couldn't reach Hakon and I was away. *snuggles Sally* And Elfie, you're good. If anyone wants to know, Noggie dreamed of Pitchie his last Night. Good seer. *pets Noggie* EDIT: Boro, Izzy, I've posted your narration.

I can only concur with everything my dear packmate has said above. Nice game design, Lottie - I think the two Unicorns (I was the Werecorn, of course) more or less balanced out the high percentage of wolves, as both packs were anxious not to kill them, and Nog's reveal didn't make life any easier for us, either. And I loved the laconic minimalism of your narrations!
I'm happy to return Zil's compliments. His perceptions of people were most astute - e.g. he pegged Legate as a likely member of the rival pack after Day 1, based on the way he'd been suspecting me (assuming the Aphid Seer had dreamt me) and made a sound and elaborate case for TEW's innocence (a splendid counterpart to his attack on the thread!) in Night 4, when Kit's daring double wolf-on-wolf against Legate and Boro had made me waver about my gut-feeling that TEW was the Innocorn. (You really should post our PMs! Or I can do it, if you haven't saved them all.) And it was quite nice for both of us to know for once we were on the same side. If Zil had his night of agony in Night 3, it was my turn to come close to despair in Night 4. I wasn't sure how the Unicorn role would affect the endgame - i.e. if the Innocorn was the last innocent standing, could we claim victory or would we have to kill him and go through the motions again the next Day with a revived ordo? - , and both of us feared that the Aphid Seer had dreamed one of us and, to avoid a Unicorn revival, would go for Zil, who couldn't protect himself that Night; I dreaded the perspective of being the last wolf in the endgame and thought the best I could hope to achieve would be a draw. It was Zil who reminded me that the Seerwolf couldn't see our gifts and was just as likely to target me - as it turned out to be. Lommy, it must have sucked for you to go so early, but I hope it's a comfort that we avenged you. Very well seered, and well played - I hope you didn't mind that I stole some of your ideas from our Nightly discussion *coughHunterrevealingasSeercough*. (For the record, Lommy's other candidates for the Night 1 dream were Kit and Nerwen, both of which would have been splendid choices as well.) All in all, I enjoyed being part of this pack very much - although I wouldn't have minded being teamed up with any of the Aphids, either. Unlike your insect counterparts, you were formidable opponents, Legate and Boro - and Kit fooled my innocent persona totally. (For curiosity's sake, Kit, what were your dreams?) wilwa, all I can say is your co-victory was thoroughly deserved. Nog, I have to agree with Boro that this was a model Seer performance. Actually, your assessments of TEW and Kit were a big help to us figuring out which was which last Night! And à propos, Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
sally, kudos for being spot on about me on Day 1 - that was a nasty trap you caught me in, I was tremendously relieved when Nerwen got rid of you for me. And Quote:
TEWie, you really did very very well - I mean, not only correctly identifying the four remaining wolves, but also their respective packs! And although I wavered a bit about you and Kit for a while, it would have truly surprised me if you'd turned out a rival wolf, you felt so innocent to me. Good job, everybody - including Shasta and Morsul; sorry both of you had to go so early (but then again, not really *wolvish grin*). Finally, Quote:

That was fun! *bowstoLottie*
And looking at all these "revelations" one just realises how close it was, so many times, to take the game into a totally another direction. So small margins... And my apologies to Lommy also online (done that in RL already). But I just had to check her first as she and Greenie (both my daughters, to anyone who doesn't know it yet) are to me the hardest to fathom as I tend to either over- or under-suspect them everytime. Legate I had a hunch over, mainly from his carefulness (which he always is - and very skilful indeed!) and of his relation to Lommy. First I thought they were in cahoots but later I started to think it more probable they were probing each other because they were on different sides. On Day2 I came actually so confident of Kit being a wolf (because of her sudden and poorly reasoned attack on Legate - and I of course knew he was a wolf that time but she didn't know I knew - so I thought she knew Legate was on the opposing side) that I didn't feel it important enough to dream of her. But looking how Pitch trailed her suspicion being careful enough not to look like he was actually "driving" it made me very suspicious of him of being Kit's mate (with Lommy as the third one on their team - heh, the one who checked Legate on N1 of course, and that was why Kit & Pitch knew he was an enemy... ) So as you see: one can pick the right people from the way they act and build totally believable explanations for their acts based on totally wrong reasoning! Well done Ladybugs! And you really had some tough luck there Aphids! I just don't understand how Boro got lynched in the first place... But the unluckiest of all I think were us innocents: such a bloodbath! Looking at the carnage from N1 I was really happy I had revealed already on D1. It was just as messy as I feared it could be. But well fought, looking at the circumstances. And don't worry Izzy, it tends to go that way: when you risk as the ranger the wolves seem to act straightforwardly and vice versa. It just tends to go that way.

Yay! Go Zil and Pitch! *hugs them and does a bug-y dance*
Yes, for me this game wasn't the most pleasant, because on Night1 I was like "yay I'm playing ww! yay nice pack! yay I dreamt of the seer!" and on Day1 I was like "yay I'm playing ww! yay I'm quite convincingly innocent-looking! oh sh**, Nogrod dreamt of me!!!!!!!!!!!" Anyway, I'm glad if I gave some ideas in the Nightly discussions and created confusion that my packmates could use to their advantage. Thanks for the game, Lottie. I have to confess I didn't read anything properly after I died, but looks like people were playing well. It was fun as long as it lasted! ps. *points at signature*
