The Saucepan Man 11-21-2006 11:49 AM

Hehe. The comment that I received was: "this is too much even for you". :D

Edit: Still, at least the comment that you received, phantom, is continuing the Shakespearian theme.

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-21-2006 12:01 PM

I'm amused at this point.

But I'm also curious as to whethere or not our resident prankster will have the cajones to come forward and admit to the delicious play.

Estelyn Telcontar 11-21-2006 01:32 PM

I bet someone is trying to spread some Christmas spirit early - after all, that red box spruces up the green ones, doesn't it?! ;)

There are green ones too?

Nogrod 11-21-2006 01:51 PM

Now that you mention it Esty, yes indeed! Maybe we should ban all the rep-giving until Christmas so that we could see the bright red light on the christmas-eve as we log in... Or how was it in America last year, the Holiday? :D

Bêthberry 11-21-2006 02:15 PM

Drat you phantom.

When you read my posts in Werewolf X (I was a wolf in that game) you will find that I barely lied at all.

The key is to tell truths that don't lead to the truth.


I've been saving up that line for use in my sig on the next George Washington Day. You know, that story about the cherry tree. And now you've ruined the delicious sneakiness of it all. :p

Oh, and, obviously, I haven't been trying hard enough to sound like a wild card member of the game. I haven't been negged yet. No Christmas for me. :(

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-21-2006 02:49 PM

I just tried to neg you, Beth, just for amusement's sake, but apparently I have to spread my rep around!

Thanks, Lovely One, I almost feel like part of the gang now.

Interesting clause that, both wolvees are dead. Is your Evil Moddess here saying that both wolves are now dead or is this just a modifyer for killing unlikely people at night? :p

Shh, don't point out my secret sneaky clause! ;)

the phantom 11-21-2006 05:22 PM

And notice she said "wolvees", not "wolves".

Diamond18 11-21-2006 10:15 PM

Sorry I didn't show up today, I completely forgot that it was Day.

the phantom 11-21-2006 11:24 PM

Yes, it was Day, Di.

These games generally have a Day period every, oh, 24 hours or so. Except on those occasions where the day is skipped and we have 48 hours of Night.

Which happens approximately never.

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-21-2006 11:41 PM

I wouldn't get too cocky, love: according to forum rules, I have 48 hours to fill that save. It's technically Night time right now.

Who's getting cocky?

I'm just making fun of Di for not knowing it was day.

So, you're telling me that you're slacking on your narrations?

Come on, dearie- punctuality is a good thing.
Quote:

Of course it is. You posted "End of day" on the game thread after all.

Meh. I take back my apology. I am without remorse.

Either that or it serves my interests more to leave the SAVE up as long as I can without revealing Di's role.

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-22-2006 09:57 AM

Save filled. Just like an RPG. :rolleyes:

Estelyn Telcontar 11-22-2006 11:13 AM

Fea edited her post. Doesn't that mean immediate death?

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-22-2006 11:49 AM

Yep. Game over.

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-22-2006 12:24 PM

No.

the phantom 11-22-2006 09:43 PM

Has Day 6 been cancelled or something?

Mithalwen 11-23-2006 06:42 AM

Fea is certainly overdoing the pause for dramatic effect...

Hope she is ok ....

The Saucepan Man 11-23-2006 11:14 AM

Fea?

I do hope that the silence is for suspense-heightening purposes and not for any other reason ...

Mithalwen 11-23-2006 11:17 AM

Realms of bliss, realms of light....

Want to make a small wager on that Phantom .....

some are born to sweet delight, some are born to endless night....

Nogrod 11-23-2006 01:29 PM

Suspense...

Mithalwen 11-23-2006 01:44 PM

Perhaps this is how the werewolf will kill their victim .....

Nogrod 11-23-2006 01:54 PM

Yes. To see how many of the villagers will turn out after eight days to note that the Day has started... Quite cunning. Or then the wolf is just frying her/his victim in a slow fire and it takes time... :rolleyes:

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-23-2006 04:18 PM

Apologies...
 
Sorry to disappear without warning. Everything is okay, and I have internet access. Early yesterday afternoon I was spontaneously roped into helping my best friend and her fiancè move into their new house (which doesn't have the internet yet) and I didn't get back until after midnight, when my brother flatly refused to give me fifteen minutes on his computer. I tried calling a friend of mine to log onto the 'Downs and post for me a brief explanation of why I wasn't around, but SHE didn't have access either, and I don't trust other people with passwords because I'm just like that. I got up this morning, still couldn't get on a computer, and then had to go to work from 10-5. I only just got back.

Stupid life interfering with my game modding. :mad: And now I have to go do the "Of course I love Thanksgiving, Mom" thing and eat with my family...

I'll start the day at 10:00 like I would have yesterday, and we'll continue like that.

Sorry again, especially to make you guys worry...

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-23-2006 04:55 PM

Change of plans. I've just learned that I cannot guarantee my internet access at all over the next few days. Here's what I'll do: I'm going to start Day now because I don't know if I can get to a computer later tonight. I will end the Day as soon as possible after voting is conclusive or 24 hours have passed. At that point, I will post whichever narration is required. Sorry I can't be more specific, and sorry for what I'm about to do.

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-24-2006 03:12 PM

Alas, I must inform you... I doubt I'm going to be able to post tonight. I have to go to work in a few minutes, and my computer access when I get back is actually quite laughable. So you may be held in suspense until an uncertain time tomorrow.

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-24-2006 10:12 PM

Business: Kath's save has been filled. You're not really a shrew, darling, but I couldn't help myself!

Pleasure:

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!!

Thank you so much for playing, everybody!

Anguirel: You amused me so much. I loved the scholar routine. You know, if you'd actually been able to convince them to kill me, I'd have ended the game and worshipped you permanently?

Boromir88: I wish so much you'd lived longer, especially after badgering you so endlessly to play. Great while it lasted, though...

Diamond18: If I have anything to say about your RL death, it will be that poetic. :cool: ;)

Eomer of the Rohirrim: You made such a lovely wolf, love... I'm so glad my room-mate chose you. :smokin:

Estelyn Telcontar: I don't know if you fully appreciate just how happy I was when you finally agreed to play!

Kath: Again... I swear you aren't a shrew.

littlemanpoet: I almost made you a wolf. Seriously, I was about *this* close to it.

Mithalwen: I believe we're even. Now I can't PM you connivingly with "But I need you..." when what I really mean is "But I want you!"

mormegil: I'm quite certain, love, you're a new breed of Fenris. First wolf to be killed by his brother at Night.

Nogrod: Lovely logic, there. You had such amazing evidencial posts.

Roa_Aoife: As always, your organizational skills amaze me. Sweet work with analyzing daily posts.

the phantom: You know I love you.

The Saucepan Man: Congratulations on winning!!!!

Meneltarmacil 11-24-2006 10:16 PM

I'd been observing this game for quite a while, and, well, this certainly was an interesting and most unusual game.

Anyhow, I'm the one who sent out the random positive reps near the end. As I said, though I do not know who is responsible for the neg-reps.

So, it was last villager standing? But how come Mith died before me?

Yes, I am seriously befuddled. If I did win, it was through no particular effort on my part. I was, as I said all along, merely trying to find a Wolf and save the village.

I had wondered whether this ...

... and that Mith was right all along. But, as she was the one to spot it, surely she is the one who deserves to win ...?

In any event, it would appear that both Wolves were dead by the end of Day 2. So I claim a village win. :D

The Saucepan Man 11-25-2006 04:52 AM

Oh, and how were the Nightly kills chosen after Night 2? Were they random or did you select them, Fea?

Bêthberry 11-25-2006 05:45 AM

I think it was fun following along, folks. I suppose I need to know what a Fenris wolf is--or what game that came out of.

Maybe Mithalwen should have voted to lynch Fea and not me? Phantom did raise that possibility . . .

Anyhow, ... once my RL work is out of the way, like a good girl who obeys the WW rules--save your reps till it's over-- I will rep you all--positively :p --for your funniest posts.

Estelyn Telcontar 11-25-2006 05:55 AM

Fie upon thee, Fea, for fiendishly instilling fear into our fëar!

What a confusing game, and what a lot of superfluous deaths - including mine!

It was an interesting experiment, though I would have liked to:

a. live longer

b. had more interaction among the players

The fact that several players were so conspicuously absent most of the time made it less fun to post - there was too little interaction for true playing enjoyment, as far as I'm concerned. That was very different to my previous game, where the amount of posting I did wouldn't have been at all unusual. Had I known that WW games could be played with so little effort, I would have done so more often! ;)

Still, thanks, Fea and all other players, for a unique WW experience!

Mithalwen 11-25-2006 06:26 AM

Oh knowing I was right is reward enough .....and how could I bear to live without the Phantom? ;)......

Bêthberry 11-25-2006 08:50 AM

Oh, and I called it, too, didn't I?

Fea on both wolvees' being dead
