It obviously wasn't set in stone, but I think the point of no return was dimmerwit getting to avenge early. There were obviously other things before then that didn't help at all, but that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I think the only thing that could have changed that would have been the wolves hitting Kelly for some reason, who then avenged a wolf out of existence. But as Zell pointed out, Benzine accidentally loud mouthing the role out made that not possible.


What's the number of mistakes you normally say it takes for the town to make in order for the wolves to win? And how many did we get this time? I count at least 3:
CG protecting a wolf on the first night
Benzine outing Kelly as loudmouth
Kat killing dimmerwit early

Although I guess killing the librarian early also didn't help.


(not blaming anyone for these mistakes, we were all working with no knowledge for the most part and still brought it down to one wolf with one life, even with them being absolutely stacked to the point of being my literal worst case scenario)

Mine was just pure RNG

I think you claiming to be the librarian led to your death more so than actually being the librarian. lol
Quite possible. I do tend to play these games with all future games in mind just to mess with people's heads. And this time I had a good role, IMO, that I could out right blurt out without necessarily being a detriment. Though maybe it was in the end. :link

I think the point of no return was stoning the wrong wolf

Alu, that's pretty much the reason we got rid of you again. I think you were the only person to even mention the possibility of two Alphas.
That and we knew you could rally the town around you quite easily… that’s also why we went after @VashTheStampede . Kill all the ringleaders first

Beta wolf could be able to survive1 kill via lynching, but not a kill by other means.

So they have like 1.5 lives

I do get this. That said, even with two Alphas, an Avenger, a Guardian and a comical amount of good fortune we will still (likely) win by the narrowest of margins.
This is true, but it shouldn’t have been. Wolves basically outted themselves when the town really shouldn’t have any way to tell between Fools/Jon/Local/dimmerwit who the one good person was. Probably could have wrapped the game on day 4.

I 100% deserved to die.

Maybe not for muting Kelly, but definitely for the intention of muting again with reckless abandon.
I was on the fence about throwing the second rock until you said you were going to mute somebody every day. :tease

I thought about taking out Local instead of dimmerwit, but he was likely the guardian and had already picked his target. Zell said for abilities like that, being concussed prevents swapping targets but not from the ability being triggered. So I figured maybe I could prevent a different wolf from using an ability that night. Obviously it didn't work out well, haha.

All good. You definitely put more thought into your actions than the wolves

I can't say it was a mistake, killing Jawneh... Lol
