Oh, and I realised I'd been mistaken for the Seer, I was glad I died in a good cause.

Well, I have assembled some edited highlights of my copious notes. Some of the comments are rather amusing with the benefit of hindsight, so I thought that I'd share them. Italicised comments have been added ex post facto. Quote:

Aye, Wilwa, 'twas a Findulias mention. I was rather disappointed, I didn't get (or forgot) to use this quote:

Man...going back on my list of possible deaths, I only used one. Couple were good, too. Morm - after the roles were drawn (You can thank my sister Oliphaunts_Rule for doing the drawings, folks), I drew for the Cursed Villager out of curiosity and it would have been YOU. After the warnings I received about your charisma from several people, I was totally wierded out. Slightly ironic...the only person CoD the Ranger protected was Gurthang... Quote:

Well, we did it! In my grace I hereby forgive all you who doubted me, though I'll admit that your doubts weren't without reason. My suggesting that we lynch articstorm was crazy, but I'd been up nearly 48hrs at that point and my mind was somewhere I don't want to go again! And I also know my late vote on Day 5 was sus, but I sure didn't want to go voting early when it was clear that suspicions were coming my way.
I think you must all have noticed that I really counted heavily on SpM in the game. I had a few early doubts, which were pretty much synchronised with boromir88's regarding him. I don't know. It was Eomer of the Rohirrim who once said of Saucepan Man: Quote:
Thanks must also go to boromir88. I did cotton on to your seerish nature early- you played it as I had planned to had I got the role- but obviously didn't want to say anything and then when you revealled yourself I saw no profit in saying I had thought so. (Just so this doesn't sound like shameless self-promotion, I had no idea SpM was the hunter!) Your hints were helpful, and as I said, I don't blame you for suspecting me. Distrust is the name of the game. Well, actually, it's Werewolf, but you get the idea. An honourable mention also to Gurthang. As I said, I rue that missed kill on day 1. Nonetheless, to survive so long is a great feat. Respect. So, well done to everyone. Fun has been had by all, I hope.

a quick note on the game
I was gone for basically all of the game so I only got to scan through it but it looked like a great game to me. It would've been cool to see Gurthang pull it out, but oh well.
Gurthang's last post was entertaining, but my favorite post was probably Oddwen's lmpberry death for lmp. I had to laugh when she mentioned peach cobbler, but the whole death scene was incredible. |

That made my day. So did the 'foolish girl' remark... I want to thank everyone again for such a great game and putting up with me and letting me live past the Third Night. Actually, I lived quite a lot longer than I expected. So thanks. Mostly. And a special thank you to Oddwen for my wonderful death. |

I think this is the most rewarding game for an outsider to read yet created. It also convinces me of the efficacy and entertainment value of the Beorning...

Agreed. I was glad to be a part of it, suspected as I was. Learned a lot about handling being suspected; don't want to seem too innocent, nor too guilty. It helped me in dealing with you, Anguirel, in a later game.

I also really enjoyed this game. And not just for the obvious reasons that it was my first and I was a New special character. I learned so much from playing and the ending was actually physically intense for me. Seriously, this had to have been the tightest ending ever. Saucepan Man's decision, the one that saved the village, was in what, the last ten minutes? That is amazingly close; it was very exciting. Definitely entertaining.
