[QUOTE=Captain Klutz]  
[The original SDMB werewolf game](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=407197) was fairly straightforward, with no complicated roles or rules. And most of the players were newbies. The game was fairly short (heck, the _entire game_ had fewer posts than Day 1 of the Firefly game). There were several highs and lows, and one utterly jaw dropping moment. Have a read and you’ll soon learn the rules and gameplay.

Which would you characterize as the jaw-dropping moment? The Guardian Angel sequence, or “I am the Seer?”

**Winston** ’s “I am a Mason” moment, of course.
