[EagleFan]

After the werewolf deadline I'll discuss how I handled the race part of the game if anyone is interested.

Clearly the route to success post-Amazing Race is to sign a book deal, so you should have been thinking ahead.

I suppose you girls will just pose in Maxim or something.

[CrimsonFox]

and _I_ didn't notice it until a couple legs into the race.

Clearly the upset of the race.

Here's a new picture of hoops complete with swooping cape.

Completely photoshoppped. I never wear that much clothing.

[EagleFan]

Everyone gathers after the final leg of the race. There is one piece of business left to address.

PackerFanatic must be the final mole!!!

After a long discussion you find that he is a vanilla villager.



Then you notice someone else is wearing that rival T-Shirt.

hoopsguy is now wearing it.

You find that hoopsguy was the Rob Wannabe and a vanilla villager.

[Autumn]

God damn

[EagleFan]

You see cougarfreak and ntndeacon standing together, discussing the race.

Then you see ntndeacon put on that T-shirt as well. He was a vanilla villager, the sole remaining villager in the end.

cougarfreak smiles and you see that he is the Admiral.

[EagleFan]

Moles win!

[mauchow]

Good job, Cougar!

[cougarfreak]

Thanks to all the experienced moles who helped me out. Big time

[Autumn]

Cougar freaking freak. Unreal. Welcome to the Hall of Fame dude. I think everyone will be voting "Under the radar" for the next dozen games.

[Passacaglia]

Congrats, cougarfreak! Way to bring it home for us!

[JAG]

Way to go cougarfreak. Great job the whole game, especially from day 5 or so on.

[mauchow]

I'm sure Danny wishes he could have talked on this last day to help out but too bad, so sad. Good game everyone.

I get the LVP (least valuable player) but at least my fake reveal caused for another worthless day of votes for people to get info from.

Also, DV was on my radar as the Seer pretty much right away, unfortunately for you guys.

PAPARAZZI!

The credit all goes to you -- it was your idea to vote for me, well before general suspicion went my way. That bought you a ton of trust.

[Autumn]

Wow, I'll have to look back to see how I ruled Cougar out. I think it was a very early vote on Pass. If so that paid off big time.

[CrimsonFox]

Was afraid of that. Nice job wolves and nice job villagers.

You don't like losing do you?

It seemed that you started ramping up your leg instructions even more as each leg went by.

I threw the idea out to Pass, and he told me.to run with it. The fellow wolves helped me out more than you can imagine.

Your excellent race submissions are the main reason I got to talk as long as I did

Good job wolves! Especially cougar with the mvp for your team

Good game EagleFan

You and Danny were both very Obi-Wanish...we struck you down and you became more powerful than ever. You two especially were amazing for the village post-death and Autumn was quite good the day after he bought it as well.

[CrimsonFox]

I thought your responses at times sounded odd but I wasn't about to try and convince anyone of anything this last day as it could have been either you or packer and your vote was more trustworthy. Very nicely played guys.

[EagleFan]

Which wolf threw out Darth's name on day one? One mentioned him and then they went Lathum which I saw was going to cause some issues since Lathum already told Jackal about his role.

I thought, great here it is day one and they are already looking at the seer and bodyguard.

But then we had the Martin incident and mau fake reveal and things got really odd from there for a while.

[cougarfreak]

Eagle, thanks for taking the time to GM, with all the extra writeups, I am sure it was time consuming.

[Autumn]

Yeah, I'm not sure there was anything better the village could have done at this point. Obviously we should have tried to flush Cougar out earlier. But PF didn't have any convincing votes in his favor, and everyone was under the radar enough talking-wise. Damn, not much to do there.

heh, thanks. I guess I felt more comfortable with the game as a whole knowing I could say whatever with no fear of anything being misconstrued. We could even "interview" people to see their answers. Guess we should have tried that more with the quiet folks. That does it. All quiet people get votes the first day.

[hoopsguy]

Yeah, good job cougar. I just find it frustrating that we get to the final day and none of the living players want to actually have a discussion. End game is supposed to be fun back-and-forth action, not the chirping of crickets.

[EagleFan]

They were talking amongst themselves that they needed to get you out of the game and silenced. Then mau kept sending in kick ass instructions (combined with you guys having amazing luck with your rolls and a couple teams imploding).

[JAG]

I'm pretty sure it was MartinD. Yeah, day two worked out hilariously for us, which was fine considering how terrible day 1 was. I have to do a post of my two Day/Night 1's from my first two games as a wolf....

Hell yes, I was worried they could keep talking, so I shut up.

[Autumn]

Yeah, Hoops, that part of the game always bugs me. It's not in the wolves' favor to say anything at that point, and usually the most talkative villagers are dead. I wish there was some way to continue spurring discussion.

[Danny]

Thanks, In general, day 4 or so is when things tend to click for me and I think I become very dangerous for the wolves. I tend to be night killed early a lot, so it was nice to be able to contribute even after dying (though it was a lynch)

I was glad that I went with the rule of "still in the race and you can still post" or there wouldn't have been any talk today.

I get why cougar was quiet. The only thing that he could have done by talking today is hurt his cause. Packer tred to talk but no one wanted to listen. ntn never talks...

[Autumn]

And yes, EF, tons of thanks for running this. I know from my Survivor game that those challenges and instructions took 100x more work than I even anticipated. You were right on time all the time and made the writeups a ton of fun.

[Autumn]

I think Packer should have argued his case more. This isn't the stage of the game to go quietly as a villager. It would have been hard to sway anyone, we really didn't have anything to go on. but it might have forced the others to respond at least. I find that the vibe from posts digs up wolves more often than a voting record.

I was thinking that actually. That I had never been able to actually witness hoops and Danny as villagers and see them really get down to the nitty-gritty of finding the wolves. It was an honor witnessing.
Autumn too (altho he's not as quickly killed off in games as Danny and hoops)

[EagleFan]

Thanks to all who participated.

This was a lot more work than I expected. It took a couple legs before I finally got a good spread sheet together to track the race (it also got easier as there were fewer teams involved).

I hope it was enjoyable. Was afraid that I made it too confusing.

[mauchow]

I threw his name out there based on his rapid reactions towards me and then with bhloy doing the same I figured it would be one of the two. We never did follow through with the NK of him though. When we did a piss poor job of submitting our first night kill, I was scrambling to get a better option thrown out and then day two kind of the same thing. Confusion to a certain degree.

[EagleFan]

I was worried about the balance but I guess that worked itself out since we went all the way to the end on this one.

[JAG]

My two wolf games:

Game 1 (Labyrinth 2, also my first WW game):

D1/N1
1. The village gets 3 in the CoT on day 1 after the three telepaths reveal unchallenged (had I realized it at the time, we should have definitely had a wolf reveal as one).
2. We lynch the Phoenix, a villager that rises from the ashes after being lynched, so add another to the CoT.
3. The incidiary device is found the very first night on a wolf, the player sets it off, and kills him.
4. The night kill is blocked by the BG.

Game 2 (this game)
1. The very first vote of the game goes on me.
2. Two wolves on the block D1.
3. mau escapes from the chopping block with a fake reveal, but then a wolf goes down anyway after an error.
4. The night kill is blocked by the BG.

[CrimsonFox]

Loved the race, EF Loved it to pieces! Kind of wished it was ONLY a race and not a werewolf game. YOu guys ever have a game where you forget about the werewolf part?

Oh yeah, losing your points kinda makes things challenging. The aggression points I obviously didn't like much. They kinda had unbelievable results like listening to a team I would never listen to.

[Autumn]

The balance seemed fine, EF.

What happened with the night 1 kill?

The day one confusion worked out for you in the end though.

You guys killed Darth the right time though; he was scanning another one of you that night, JAG I believe.
