For ages I was utterly convinced pyxl had insider information on the map. Either he was a Merchant and got hold of information on where to dig, or he was receiving this information from someone else and voicing it in the thread to protect that person. I wanted to say of my suspicions and demand we dig D2 but I was worried the wolves would kill him off. Turns out everything was wrong. x
The island is actually not cursed, or inhabited with werewolves. It was in fact booby trapped by an insane inventor who wanted to keep pirates away. He invented the 'curse' to scare visitors, and made up a treasure to entice pirates so he could test his traps every night.
I think you guys were utterly fantastic. You played a deep, well thought out game, which I think would have succeeded if it wasnt for the unlucky 'three power kills' night - which I think demorilised everyone, and is the reason I have ended the game a little earlier then I was going to.
The digging would have found treasures that pointed to the reality of the situation.
I hope everyone still had fun, and I do hope everyone will have fond memories of this game and everyones 'theories'.
If anyone has any questions - I will answer them!
EDIT - Oh - and dont hate me too much for tricking you - it was all in good fun, and to test you all. You all passed with flying colours with your thoughtful, informed approach to the game. I will never do anything so audacious again - you can trust it would be a normal game next time!

I'm a fairly long-time exile of this place but I started having a browse again a few weeks ago and have followed this game (lurker I know) since it started, having never paid AYAW? any attention before when I was active. And it was pretty enthralling stuff, truth be told. I can't decide how I feel over this ending: I was kind of hoping there would be wolves, as I had my own predictions down and was looking forward to seeing how everything played out!
But in fairness, it was as good as any other piece of entertainment I've been following for the past two weeks, so I commend you all. Especially DML. Good show. (You rotten sod!)
If you do start a new game, I'd love to give it a go. I know I'd probably be completely useless, but it'd be fun.
Nice job y'all.
Pretty much this!
This is the first AYAW? I've followed and I've been checking the thread as often as I can for updates it's been so enthralling. I too had my own suspicions but what a twist
And I definitely would like to take part in the next game whenever that is!
