Your bet with Murska in previous threads came back to bite you. No matter what role you were in THIS game, you Would have been lynched day one, or night killed day 2. Just like you were.

Unless you were a wolf. But then, Murska wouldn't have started the wagon on you.

Keep arguing your maybes. I'm telling you what happened, and short of being a wolf, that's exactly what Would have happened.


Does that have any impact on your skill as a player? No. It's just the way it breaks.

Now get over yourself. I'm done here.
Well, thank you, your opinion have been noted.

Just take a look at how she ran things in SEU.

*fondly remembers the claw bursting through his chest*

Ah...that was the best time I've ever been manipulated.

I've already said, I'm not denying she's a good player, even one of the best. I'm saying that she's arguing an absolute certainty.

I'm trying to say yeah, good game. I don't think it's easy though, when Happy is going all "good game" out of one side of her mouth, and criticizing my play style in the same breath, saying how if the great happy was there, the day would have been saved.

There's a lot of variables, with over a dozen people trying to manipulate. There's a big difference between saying it's a possibility, like I said, and a certainty, like she did. What she's doing is arrogant, and frankly, the mark of a sore loser. And I don't much appreciate it.

Talic... you are overreacting, a lot.

You have been making dozens of posts based on what? One singel comment you thought were "arrogant"? Please, I have seen way more arrogant comments in WW games and leaved it to that, not bashing away whoever made the comment.

She have for petes sake already said you won the argument, yet you continue bashing her? Why?

EVERYONE calm down. Prefarably by not posting about the matter at all, ever. It won't make it any better.

Yes, the wolves played a good game. Yes, the villagers were weaker than the wolf team from the start. Yes, the almost-perfect start in the beginning pretty much crushed the villagers' chances. Yes, Talic played admirably to keep the villagers from ever regaining a glimmer of hope. Yes, Happy and probably many others who were following the game probably had hunches and suspicions about people who were wolves. Yes, if they had been in the game, they might've been able to turn it around. No, regardless of all this, there's no reason to argue.

It's just a game.

@V There is nothing worth arguing here. See the sentence directly above.
This is not the argument you're looking for.

Exactly what I was trying to say. There were a few disagreements, however, over particulars of probability.

1. How did you like the game?
I had fun. Always nice being backstabbed by dad. Good times!

2. What did you think of the narrations?
Nicely done.

3. Did the narrator(s) do a good job?
Yes

4. Was the game balanced?
No, but that's already been addressed

5. Any complaints?
Yes. I hate being the seer! Third time I've been the frikkin seer/fool! I've only been a wolf four times.

However, if roles were randomly generated, then I guess it's just one of those weird things, like Trixie being a mason or Murska being a wolf. If they weren't random, then... grrr!

6. Would you play again?
Probably

Loved it, had fun, great narration.

And I don't think it was unbalanced, I just think that we had two HUGE losses on the first two nights. And we were fighting an uphill battle after that - one that became impossible to win. Oh well.

I just wish I'd been around on the last 2 days to defend myself and maybe give us one more chance.

I don't think the game was that unbalanced, the wolves just did an amazing game. I would play again for sure, my one gripe is that there was essentially no collaboration between the police at all.

I'm too noisy a player to hide well. I talk to too many people, both in thread and privately. That's why villager is my favourite role.

Um, confession time. The roles where only partly random. For the roles of baner, seer, and alpha, I personally picked. The other roles were given out by drawning them out of a hat.
Sorry HappyTurtle, I didn't know.

Is okay. I forgive you.

"All I Ask of You" is one of the songs on our wedding CD. It's such a great musical, and you did a good job making a game of it.

But it really is best to go random. Especially if you narrate again, you don't want people trying to guess the power roles based on out of game factors.

I've only been seer once, but it pretty much guarantees you have to hide for team villagers sake. Which can be boring and sometimes difficult.

I prefer normal wolf for that exact reason. Of course, Alpha was fun aswell in Mirrodin...

It was a kind of thank you for chosing to stay in my game, when I was worried about if I would have enough people.

Well, I must say I enjoyed the game as a whole. [Of course I didn't like the fact that we couldn't find more than one wolfie ]

Anyway, great game, better narrative, and of course, great players.

Darkcomet, you rock my socks at playing.
