I keep confusing my orders. Talking about days and night in the middle of the day is hard to keep track of.

We also had a pretty good idea that Chieron was the last wolf anyway.
Sorry about that. Though as said, secrecy and an opportunistic hunt were the only chance my pack could win. It's not enough that the village loses. You would not have sided with the weaker pack..
Thanks for hosting, Yakman!
There were a lot of baddies. Holy cow. Good game though.

Oh, and I should clear up what happened with the Avernite vote. I voted him day 1, having scanned him (after being swapped from aedan) night 0. Then, with no coordination between me, wagon and Arky, the 2 of them followed me onto Avernite.
@aedan777 Called it.
This was sent before Dedonus was cleared, but, overall, the baddies were sussed out even before their switch to Dedonus.
Makes me also wish I had continue discussions with Wagonlitz. Volunteering information that Dedonus was cleared might have backfired, but it would've at least guaranteed Wagon had not been on him. Just more wishful thinking looking back on how to save the game, I suppose.
I'm not sure why people thought I would automatically side with the pack with more members on day 3 with a lot of the game to play. Wagon was definitely drawing attention day after day, and Panzer was a fairly obvious wolf to me. I would have gone along with a wagon or Panzer lynch - heck, I did support an arky lynch on day 2 and voted up cultist Grimlock on day 3 (before we pulled a rabbit out of our hats to save him).
Oh well, I'm glad the baddies at least won at the end of the day.

Re Alxeu's point about the changeling:
I think changeling is an awesome role - probably the best part of Yakman's game, to be honest, and I may steal the idea for future games I GM. For the early game, with the amount of scans, I would "protect" scan magnets like aedan/avernite/sleepy by choosing to redirect them onto people who aren't generally scan targets or are newer players (say, a grimlock or an Ironhide).
For the late game, changeling becomes a redirect spell - essentially, a better doctor. You can actually target potential wolves by protecting cleared or nearly cleared you think the wolves are likely to hunt (Witch Agatha, aedan, etc.) and redirecting them onto suspicious but generally hard to lynch people (myself, chieron).

Well, you see, it's because our pack was prettier than theirs, and they know it. How could they possibly hope to win your heart? Killing us, that's how.

I don't know, I personally think our horns were far shinier than your hooves. Shiny things are always better and horns are usually prized more than hooves anyway. Then again I never saw the hooves of your pack until as a ghost, but even then I doubt they would have looked any prettier had I been alive. And as to killing, you were the first to move by desecrating my beautiful horns so that's on you.

Well, there's no accounting for taste. There is, however, blaming Panzer for all your problems; something which I wholeheartedly recommend you do. He was sober when he sent that order, you see.

Changeling's been used before, and it definitely has potential. I had it once myself and tried to do much what you say in regards to switching hunt targets. I think I might have almost caused a wolf to hunt themselves before they switch their hunt target. Yakman's main change is that it can only be used to target a player once per game. Since alxeu used it on me early in the game, it meant he couldn't do it again, and since he told wagonlitz that, it meant Wagon knew he had a free hunt on me.
That's difficult for me to say. Prior to Wagon coming out and spilling the beans I figured you were likely a villager. You voted Graymarch day 1, so I was pretty certain you weren't with the Horns. You didn't have anything to rule out for the other pack, but I figured they were out of wolves so I never made a real effort to determine who fit with Arkasas and Panzer prior to Wagonlitz's outing.
After that, and once I believed him, just about everyone other than Agatha became a suspect in my book. I didn't single you out as a major candidate though until I went back over the PMs Wagon posted. Prior to that the main candidate I discussed directing the village to lynch was Grimlock, but that was purely on behavior.
The issue was the unaligned baddies. They started in contact with a pack and 3 of them had 2 super scans each, after one day cultists attached to both packs had discovered the other.
Yes you were a cultist and I was a wolf, our interests weren't 100% aligned. Your goal was to keep all baddies alive and kill all important goodies - mine was to reach parity for my pack.
I think you played poorly as an unaligned baddie, as you shouldn't start handing wolf names over to the opposing pack if you're not committed either way. Note that you gave Wagonlitz the opportunity to out me, which he did, and you acknowledged aedan's case on the PMs which were mostly mine I guess (didn't pay full attention) leading to your own demise and the village seeing a path to victory. Had you only influenced hunts as e.g. a sorc in contact with both packs typically tries to do, all of that could've been avoided.
Do still wonder why the changeling thought changing from Aedan to me was somehow a good idea. Sure, I am not usually the seer, but I *am* usually scanned early, so why make the change?
