I didn't like being a Seer; it wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be. It's much more fun to be a werewolf...

Personally, I didn't think I was a very good Seer. It seemed blatantly obvious to me (for example: Lhuna and Oromin were on my lynch list end of Day 1; then start of Day 2 I state that I changed my mind. Um, yeah.) I was pretty surprised when I found out Nilp had been killed and not me; I had about convinced myself that I was the one to go. Paranoia, I guess.

Wolves, considering the circumstances, I thought you did a pretty good job. I was pretty convinced Saurreg was innocent when I was trying to make my Mytho decision, which is one of the reasons I didn't choose him...

See, I wanted to either be a Wolf or the Seer. I couldn't decide who, though, and I was down to Oromin, Holby, Saurreg, or Lhuna. I ended up choosing Oromin for two reasons: a) she had the potential to be either a wolf or the seer (it's pretty easy to tell that some people probably aren't the Seer) and b) finally, in desperation, I told my brother to pick a number 1-10, and he chose 8 which corrosponded to Oromin (it's always 8 or 9 (Saurreg's number!), he said), which was ironic enough for me since Morm's coworker had also chosen Oromin...

That's also why I was being a little quieter on Day 1, as some of you noticed - I didn't want to be in a situation like Kath who suddenly seemed to be changing her tune. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to be a Wolf or a Villager. And I really was very nearly a wolf... you villagers had better be glad my brother picked 8 and not 9!

And this has rambled on long enough.

Interestingly, Nilp and Gil-Galad only posted once each.

Oh, and Mgoddess Feanor, pray tell what death you had planned for those of us unfortunate enough to not fall prey to your roving pen... keyboard.

I'm sure Gil posted more than once. I was following it even if I couldn't join in and I'd swear he made a few posts.

Fantastic deaths by the way Fea!

Check it yourself - go to ME Mirth, and click on the "replies" for this thread. You unbelieving unbeliever, you, Kath.

I should probably make some sort of point to this post so as to avoid being reprimanded...

Jolly good game, chaps!

Never knew about that feature. Seems that you and I (TGWBS) are rather loud. Funny thing about this game, being an innocent I wanted to be a bit more on the quiet side for a change of strategy and I just couldn't do it. I simply had to be loud!

I think he did but he decided to delete many of them.

1420! How do I feel?

I feel like a thousand lemmings deprived of a chance to jump off the cliff.

That's how I feel.

You see the scar on my sig? It's your fault, you wolves! Argh!

Vy ze vay, nice game, guys. Nice death scenes, Fea.

And, Firefoot, looks like Episode 6: The Return of the Villagers came true.

This is all your fault, Fea.

I was ready for my heroic act for the last Night, only to find that your PM box is full. Do you want to know what I would have PMed you? Here.

Quote:
I'm thinking, grinning diabolically to myself, sitting in front of a computer in my university, of actually killing a seer just for the heck of it. Not just any seer, mind you, but the Seer, the one I chose the first time around. Then, if Holby decided to kill me, the villagers would kill me again. Wouldn't that be fun?

But I don't desire a second death. So, just to give the whole thing a happy ending, you know my victim.

Holbytlass.

Make sure to make my death extra special, okay?
But you had to go and ruin it all. And so did Holby, by not killing me. That would have been a climactic ending.

I hope you'll forever be in remorse.

End of the Lhunatic's theatrics.

I shall type for you Lhuna's death tomorrow, as well as the basic idea for Footie's, and yours, TGWBS. Look for them around 9:00 tomorrow morning.

Great job everyone! I must be rather thick-skulled or something, but I really had no idea about anybody, except for those that I dreamed of. The rest of you had me absolutely in the dark. Whether this is due to your skills or my supreme obliviousness, I'm not sure, but this was immense fun to play! The death you wrote for me was great, Fea. I have a feeling that my very morbid friend will quite pleased with it when I show it to him. I also loved Saurreg's I Will Survive death. It was hilarious!

Firefoot, who did you dream of, other than Holbytlass? I'm curious to know.
