First of all, BIG thank you to averly and Pickles for being amazing--not to mention forgiving--hosts.
Second, a run down of how my game went.
So I was pretty pumped to be Gollum. I decided that for the most part, I would try to side with the bad guys, though I wasn't afraid to stir up some chaos either. Anyway, my first role steal happens to be Frodo (Christopher), which I used to my advantage to try finding out two peoples' roles in one night. Well of course, his dream failed, but I did manage to steal Mongrel's role, so all was peachy and well in the world. And here's where I made my big mistake: completely overlooking the fact that I wasn't aloud to reveal my role steals to other players, I told Chris that Mongrel was Sarumon, just to have some fun (this could have gone either way here--if I told Mongrel instead of Chris, the game could have turned out MUCH differently). Of course, I found out that I had broken the rules of my role and very nervously approached Pickles and averly about it. So from that moment on, I had to try to evade Chris' questions of "who else do you know about?" while trying to seem innocent.
Things went OK for a while after that--I found out that DM was on the orc team and started sending her gifts (although the first one didn't go through). I also tried teaming up with Ammer for a while after finding out that he was the new Sarumon (I was extra-careful with what I told him in my PMs this time). The day before I was executed, I found out that loser was the dreamer. So, I sent a vague clue to DM hoping that she would be able to figure it out (I thought that loser had started a bandwagon on her, but apparently it was just a lucky guess
). Every time I logged on after my death and saw that loser was still alive, I wanted to smash my head into my computer screen,. REALLY. And the thing is, I had a daykill to use, but I used it on Pink instead of loser because I was hoping that I'd last through execution and be able to use loser's role.
Ah well. It was a fun game nevertheless.
