Yeah, but none of the Baratheons at that point were able to be in contact with each other, so it would've been riskier to expose myself to just one of them since they could expose me and the others wouldn't even know I'm on their side. And I seriously doubted the Baratheons would win since the other two factions had members in contact. Thought it better to hedge my bets with Varys and then the Lannisters -- apparently that wasn't a good bet, though.

Yeah, honestly at that stage in the game I thought that Varys had it in the bag.. I never thought he wouldn't have scanned Aragonn and taken him out at the earliest opportunity. Getting on his team would have been awesome.

I was in contact with the Lannisters because Cersei got lucky on round #1 and scanned me, who just happened to be her most ardent admirer.

Yeah, but it results in a 50/50 tied vote. I vote for you, you vote for me, RNG takes someone home. Then your faction is 100% of players.

Mmm. I suppose you must be right, but that just seems screwy to me.

At any rate, since the match is finally over, Tau, can we know what exactly Varys' win condition was? Unless he really did just count as his own faction, which seems a bit dull.

Varys and his two birds counted as their own faction.

In my estimation they had a pretty good chance of winning.. more than I thought at first. Having the protective little birds really ups the ante.

The Baratheons though.. they got shafted pretty hard... One piece of bad luck after another.

While the Lannisters did gain an advantage early on, a lot of that was luck and good communication. I was worried about an unbalanced game, but from what I saw most of it was pretty okay (though being Werewolf, there are still a lot of random elements there).

No, they couldn't.
"A faction wins if it consists of at least two-thirds of the remaining players."
50-50 isn't 2/3, and so probably that's exactly how Varys was supposed to win.

Though given the precedent Pengu set during Werewolf XI, I would've given you the option to end the game in a draw.

It's always a Valerian, right?

It does often seem to be the case.

Well, my strategy of being as inoffensive and invisible as possible sorta worked....

It made me suspicious of you at first, but in the end made zero sense if you were not simply a Baratheon courtier. You failed to act in many instances where action would help Varys.

You of the Night's Watch can't even have kids, so your dreams die with you and like you they die cold, hopeless and forgotten.

I am curious though. Laurentus, what drove your decision to pull me down to the wall along with you?

I was fairly certain you weren't part of my faction, so I thought I'd do my faction a favour by dragging you with me, and beyond that, I reasoned that you'd be a pretty good person to have around if we could both be on the same faction.

Plus, I felt some petty vengeance was in order.

I was going to try to play both sides, though

We were pretty sure you would play both sides but didn't know if we could trust you to not reveal our roles to the Lannisters.

Ah, I wasn't even sure I was allowed to do that, and I probably would've pretended like I couldn't if I could (unless tau would've said something about it ).
