I don't have the PM any more, but I think you were more or less the victim of the eeny-meeny-miney-moe stragtegy amongst though didn't act wolfy on Day one.

If Danny was good, the wolves would have thought saldana was going to die -- so how could they have killed him?

Actually, I brought it up in Sparta and just said the wolves must have put in a conditional, if anything, I think that may have added to my trust because a wolf probably would have been afraid that the kill would have looked bad not done it.

Yea, I think I had too much on my plate at that point, what with my refusal to buy anything anyone was saying to even notice anything fishy about the Saldana death.

It actually didn't set off alarm bells with anyone (although perhaps it should have), I was pretty trusted by everyone in the game minus NTN who came in later.

Yeah, and honestly that was a mistake we made. I was nt able to be on very much before deadline and had to leave, so we rushed the choice and Jeheinz and I overlooked it. Still, I think the fact that I was the one who mentioned it and it kind of was too stupid to be a wolf move, I think everyone didn't really worry about it.

Also, it hindsight, we would have been much better off sending Heinz or Jackal to Hades with the night kill and me saving the duke as an emergency procedure. Or just have gone for the easy win and not worried about Hades because looking back now I think Hades was a lost cause no matter what we did.

I was sending up a critique of Abe's game just now, and remembered I never really said what I wanted to say here about Pass's game. There are similarities in my responses to both.

I know Pass got some crap from people about how this one ended up, IIRC, but I thought he had some really good ideas, and I was excited to give this one a shot. As I said about Abe's game, I compare this to my political game last summer: some terrific ideas, but maybe a little too ambitious.

Pass made a good effort in this one, and it's one of those that, I think, with some different approaches or tightening up of some rules, would be good for a replay.

I am still stunned the wolves actually lost this. There were a ton of advantages for them in this game.

So, belated thanks Pass for the game.
