1 - Willie Kool (shafnutz)

8 to kill.

A reminder how I do things at the deadline: If there is no majority, the leading vote-getter gets it. If there is a tie among the leading vote-getters, it's no lynch.

2 PM deadline.

Lol, I thought you all were going to turn on each other again and vote out a villager like bigmck without me voting.

I was lurking the whole time. The shaf/WK exchange was awesome.

Yep. Tried to clear shad in case I didn't make it through the night without coming out as the seer. Probably gave myself away there. I couldn't clear WK since I saw him night one and I had to consider the possibility that he was recruited.

Thanks redwill, always a pleasure.

I was killed at the right time, I couldn't have played after that even if I wanted to.

Not that I wanted to, you all are doody heads.

Because the game was thematically related to Wars of Beleriand, I thought people would assume that it was full of twists and turns. Or at least be as odd as Beleriand. In fact, I was hoping that would be the case.

But folks seemed to figure out pretty quick that it was just a vanilla Werewolf-type game. I deliberately made it as standard a game as I could to contrast it with Beleriand -- again, hoping that people would see twists and turns and bogeymen and independents and such where there were none.

thanks redwill.

The last vote is sometimes proof that even the blind squirrel sometimes finds the nut... (as I was blind as a bat the phase before when I insisted on Zaro -- luck, not skill)

BTW, MRandall was part of my random.org list, so he could have had a role. I just cut-and-pasted the wrong list for the first write-up (since I obviously couldn't cut-and-paste my random.org result).

Similar I presume to CBear's early vote on Zaro. It was interesting to see the baddies knock off CBear immediately afterward and then see the village talk themselves out of that being of any significance. In fact, the village turned on WK for suggesting it. Which is what the baddies expected, I guess.

Thanks for the game, redwill, and for letting me play. I was able to stay alive long enough to learn more flow and technique of these games.

Being this is a hockey board, has there ever been a game where there would be a group of good Penguins Vs say, bad Flyers, or something like tthat?

Anyway, thanks again.

Ha, I forgot I was Jim Rutherford. That was the East/West format with simultaneous voting IIRC.

And I think Slappy's game was before I started playing (The original JI)

Thanks for the game, redwill.
I honestly looked at the list and asked, "who's the biggest wildcard?" Just dumb luck.

I'm flattered. Im thinking of doing it again around March. 1 thread per Conference. Playoffs will be a single thread.
