Yes, but he would have been out of the game and I don't think you guys would have had the attack power left to take out Chubby with Cthulu gone. |

Tyrith – Vice Admiral Horatio Viscount Nelson

Autumn - Animal, Miss Piggy, Swedish Chef, Beaker, Professor Honeydew, Kermit & Gonzo
Each Muppet has 1 HP, 0 defense and 1 attack value. This means overall your muppets will die easily, but you have a lot of attack power, especially early in the game. Additionally, you will be able to go on different adventures that may give you bonuses as the game goes on. Because of your ability to go on different adventures and pick up bonus abilities, you only have one starting special ability. During the night phase, you may choose one Muppet to power up for the following day. That muppet receives a random defense value of 1-5 for that day. |

Cthulu- You have 1-5 attack value, 0 defense or hp; however you simply can’t be killed; however, you need your eternal slumber, so you are only in the game for 5 days. However each wolf that is found, adds 1 day to your life cycle. Using abilities tires you out and shortens your game length by 1 cycle per ability used.
You have one time use to instantly kill a player during the night phase(may be stopped by special abilities) Shortens your life span by one day |

You have the ability see future events. During each night phase, you can predict a player’s following day actions (this includes who they attack and whether or not they use a special action). Because you are alright correct, that player will be forced to take your actions. Can’t be used on the same player more than once per game. |

BK, did you use that 24 hour ability when you said you did? We figured it was a bluff and that you'd use it the next night.

Daddytorgo, Mrs. Doubtfire. 10 HP, 0 defense, 1 Attack.
You are a master of disguise. Once per game (due at the night phase), you may disguise yourself as another character. You take damage if that character does, but not if you do. Additionally, every day you babysit another character, reducing the damage they take by 1. |

I forgot to send in my order on night one which was lame. Night two I picked Jim and he gave me the ability to lower two characters defenses to zero and I chose Crimson. Night three I picked Michael and I had the ability to quote three people's posts and say "that's what she said" to do one damage to them. Night four I picked Andy and he would attack any of the characters who attacked me. Night five I picked Pam and she could copy anyone's attack. Night six I picked Ryan and he gave me the additional attack power if I was the last attack. Night Seven I picked Creed and he did one damage to everyone in the game. Danny did Creed cause Jag to die? |

I guess my guys were pretty powerful when looking at AP and defnse altogether. I figured people had higher APs. Fun game Danny. I was hoping I'd have been nkd tonight but this result works too. Good job cthulu on the right move!

I didn't have any problems with balance that were noticeable. I think the information was hidden the right amount. As a village we probably should have pressed for more reveals there, to root people out. But it's the kind of game a wolf can reveal their powers and not necessarily get caught, which I always like as a wolf.

I know. The that's what she said quote was my favorite. Too bad I chickened out and did not use it once. Even though I was going to use it on Autumn since I seriously thought he was a wolf.

I liked the idea that with the hitpoints and attacks, we could end up in a spot where we knew the last wolves but couldn't kill them. That lent a new layer of strategy ... but then I felt we didn't really know enough to actually strategize about it. So I kind of felt there was something additional we could have done there, or that could have been added to the game, but I haven't quite figured out how that would work. Having transparent hit points but keep everything else hidden? I don't know. I think I liked the fact that we had to say things like "Hulk isn't our biggest suspect, but if we don't kill him now we might never be able to."

Yeah and I really did create all the powers first and then picked the wolves last minute to try and avoid that. I was actually surprised that CHubby did not take more heat for claiming Super Grover to have a completely pro village power (scan for a wolf) when I wouldn't have given an ability like that |

Son of a... Cthulu, way to go! Nice work. Nelson's power was pretty strong in my opinion, we were lucky to get rid of him relatively early. Lots of cool powers. Pretty good job by wolves and villagers both this game in my opinion. Thanks Danny, this was a great idea for a game and great execution of it. |

Jackal, one other thing, not sure if you were making up the 3 AP thing you were talking about with Cthulu, but it was actually Chubby's characters helping me that day. That actually made me wonder if Chubby was lying about his AP.

I didn't save each character, but I remember them I am sure. I'll go back through each day and post them. In general I tried to make their given ability fit with who they were. The exception was the seer, especially with having an auto win character out there, the seer power was picked randomly.

Jag, actually they miscalculated. Chubby did only two damage. Keyser ignored your attack, so he took two damage and healed one bringing him down from 6 to 5 health.

I had thought I was originally at risk of getting both NK and of being lynched the next day so I used it. When it was clear that dubb had bought me some time I decided to bluff. Since my potential to bluff was obvious I decided not to use it the next night figuring you all might figure I was bluffing. Thought for sure you'd go after me the following night. I was off by 1 night. Shucks.
