Oh jav, man, you had a really, really good opportunity to write that all-in-one and tell a mighty surprise story without the in-between spoilers, but that is still brilliant narration!
Thank you for hosting this. You're a sport for taking the time to write so many of these from an iDevice in Honduras!
Well, that was fun! The win was helped slightly by the lack of participation rule booting out some players, which dampens that excitement a little bit
(I'd have drained you quiet bastids though 
) but nevertheless I'm pleased to have been a part of the first ever Vampire win!
Little insider stuff:
I tried to turn
mscriv into a vampire first because he was taken out so early by a kamikaze wolf in the previous game and seemed keen to be a vampire based on a reply I recall him writing to
chrmjenkins, who wanted to turn him. So his priesty quietness did do some good because obviously my first bite failed. Though I think the prolonged silence wasn't the best way to go about it to be honest. I think coming out on day 2 and get the prayer perfected by day 3 would have been perfect. Too many names just doesn't work out well.
I wanted to turn
ravenvii as well because turning the original game starter would just be fun. I even sent a twitter DM to ask as a player if he liked good or bad roles. He said good (in quite an amusing way) and I decided not to try to take that away from him. That's why when I saw his behaviour change and him going quiet I suspected the wolves got to him. I really got a huge laugh out of that post "Why are you *still* voting for me?" though and that did help nail
-aggie-.
I ended up choosing
JimN because he hadn't been a vampire before and seemed like a good player. I couldn't have known what a good choice he was until I found out that he was the apprentice hunter. Better still, he was protecting me the same night I turned him. How classic storytelling is that?
I actually kept hoping the wolves would try to kill me because every other night I was being hunter protected and they would wonder "why won't she die?!"
(it would have taken 3 nights consecutively to kill me if it had been timed right.)
Being a baddie is freakin' difficult though. Always second-guessing what you do and say, etc. I've played a lot of games and only been a baddie one other time (I was infected by an alpha wolf) and as someone who was much more often one of the goodies, I always played right out in the open so I don't even have the benefit of being one of the quiet players to hide in the shadows when I am bad. That's why the baked™ goods thing came to be. I was bored of being a simple villager and made a role for myself. Partly because I felt bad voting for people only to find out they were innocent. So I offered up baked goods and my zombie lair. (in case anyone wasn't sure what all the bakery and zombie stuff was about)
Thanks everyone for all the fun… and blood! I think this will be my final game, at least for a while. It's too time consuming in the evenings here, which thoroughly annoys my husband, and I've woke up a few times in the middle of the night wondering if I'm about to be lynched, etc. It's a strangely addicting game! Good note to end on for now though and thanks again to all the players who kept it interesting.
Bye, for now.
