Tol-in-Guarhoth CIX - Ten Year Anniversary Game: Dead Thread

[the phantom]

Anyway, no matter what looking forward to Kuru and Boro explaining everything after the fact. Assuming it can be explained.

[the phantom]

Sometimes sequels can be a real letdown, but I'm betting this one will be worth seeing.

Well, obviously, Boro used his portable sewing machine to cause the village to drive our UPS truck into the river, thus getting us in trouble with Kuru and the rest of his dwarf cops, all while looking super innocent in his tux.

[the phantom]

But since when have Werebears worn tuxedos?

Oh, wait...

[the phantom]

After bagging McCaber it felt like we won only to wake up and find our victory was a dream.

[the phantom]

Of course Boro wasn't always this good at killing. When he was younger he made all kinds of rookie mistakes.

[the phantom]

At the very least we can say of Boro- when the village was under threat he fought back!

Most would prefer to just run away.

[A Little Green]

Well it looks like Mr 88 is half giving up already!

Also, Kuru? Can we have this please? If the 88-plan didn't work out, we could at least end the game with a Mega-Zord!

For what it's worth -

[Mithalwen]

There is the possibility, assuming I am now allowed to speak, that he is an ethical werebear. We had a deal and he stuck to it. It would have been relatively easy to get me lynched today.

Oh and I still think you are a bunch of gits for not letting me speak but suggesting I settle down to your version of War and Peace

grrrr

[Loslote]

++Shasta

And may our claws run red with the blood of one who slayed so many of my own.

[Thinlómien]

I called it! Legate and Nogrod can testify. One of the last tings I mumbled before crawling into bed last night was that if Boro is cursed, it may just be he gives up because he's the kind of person who hates switching sides in the middle of the game. (I remember something like that happening to him before and relating to his annoyance very much.) So we should all be extra nice to him and give him lots of raw meat once we can communicate with him again. <3

++Shasta

Well done, Mr Champion!

Hahaha. His role is Kuruharan!

I think it's what Lommy just said. He was a "cursed villager" with the superpower of being able to kill people, probably something like that after the last Wolf dies, he switches allegiance. Which sucks, just think about it, his allegiance would literally have changed yesterDay.

And that's all that matters.

Well now we all are speaking again, since the scheme why we all kept silent is off... hopefully not needed, if others follow Shasta's example, and Boro has more or less admitted being the killer.

Looks like that Poor house-owner...

For that matter,

++Shasta

[Nogrod]

++ Shasta

That was a job well done by him and seen to the end. *hatsoff*


Mith: there was also Agan's version of the ploy which would have allowed you to post your thoughts while still keeping the post count intact. And surely we had no idea that everybody would have to stay silent for the whole Day, just the first half or something to send the message. And to top it: it was clear that with Shasta voting Boro and Boro basically giving it up there was no more need to try and control the post count. So please take it easy.

Like everyone...

I mean I understand what morm said about deleting posts - and I found it a bit unhappy idea myself, and would have liked to just make us all stop posting at #1589. But that said, I also think tp is correct in maintaining that the original rule of not editing (or deleting) posts has another intention to enable others to find your slips etc. With everyone known in this thread in this quite experimental game one could say there was no reason to stick into that rule.

But yes, coins have two sides and I think no one should think of this too gravely. It was an experiment which actually fell down pretty soon as a) in a role of a player morm totally legitimately broke it, and b) there was no need to it as the Living Thread took "the right direction".


So let's just be happy we had this superbly funny and totally crazy game to play after such a long time of no werewolf!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Seconding what Nog just said...

And thus on the cheery note: By the way, I just realised, in line with what came up yesterNight, that we are in fact emPowering a Ranger!!!

[Nogrod]

Empowering The Ranger!

[Mithalwen]

Look at it from my point of view. Small hours dead tired having sweated kittens thinking I had got it wrong and Kath was a wolf. I get killed and what do I find dozens of posts telling me not to post......or I would spoil your beautiful scheme...
You have no idea how infuriating.. but I don't hate you quite so much this morning and by the time I have had coffee and a pig sacrifice I will have probably got over the tourettes and stopped hating you.
bossy patronising dead people. Almost voted Boro on the spot.

l'enfer, c'est les autres.... yeah I quoted a philosopher, Bite me

Good.

No. I'd rather hug you. Comparing werewolfgame's Dead Thread to Huis Clos is actually pretty neat and fitting. *bows*

[Mithalwen]

Nerwen, you were magnificent by the way. Absolutely a bravura performance.

Thanks. Apparently Tweedlemorm is going to ban me for a year.

But I think this game has really been a team effort. After all, even the villains helped...

[Mithalwen]

Well having a Butterbur brain, I wouldn't have been able to fix on Mc Caber without virtually all others being eliminated... and the special messages were just plausible enough.

[Nogrod]

And they were just hilarious company and good sports in the Dead Thread.

Nods towards Lottie and Mac especially...

I had a suspicion you were not going to like that, which is why I held my peace and didn't screw with the oooooooh so tempting target yesterday.

That wasn't his problem at all. His problem was that he disclosed his role virtually guaranteeing this very scenario if he made it to the end. (Yeah, Boro I said that. )

Sad thing is one of his big powers never kicked in in the game which I am highly bummed about. I am seriously tempted to refrain from explaining it and asking Boro not to either on the off chance I ever mod a game again and can use it again. I want it to be a surprise.

Very close...that might almost have been a more clever idea.

[Firefoot]

I agree, I think Boro should have kept quiet about himself.

Anyway,

Well get on with it. Lynch the beast. When all is said and done...just think better of me and remember that my claws were sharper and my aim was better than even Smaug the Magnificent.

Of course! He's the pet dragon!

Now I want to let him win because dragons are cool.

[Macalaure]

++Shasta

Boro fought valiantly, Boro fought nobly, Boro fought honorably. And Boro died.

[Mithalwen]

The dragon thing just occurred to me.. I am glad he killed me. I didn't think the dead could get ill but I have been sleeping since I stopped being sick. Sorry probably was a factor in being quite so crouchy just before.

It would have been grim if I had had to try to save myself and the village today. If it won't make a difference I might vote for him just to salute that he kept to the deal.

I feel bad for him.

[the phantom]

Well, I'd say this thing is over. Kath won't vote for herself, right? The only other choice she has is Boro, and he already has a vote. Then with our vote on top of that, that's the end.

[Nogrod]

Po'boyro!

But yes, that is a sad role superbly played. So kudos for Boro, especially of the way he ended with it. Well worth the game.

[Nogrod]

And thinking how little we got to know in this game I must say we performed mightily well - well especially Nerwen and Boro, but we others didn't do that bad either.

At least we exercised some logical thinking and didn't make ginormous errors.

You do realise that when you mod again, we'll now lynch Boro first?

Very close...that might almost have been a more clever idea.

Oh yes I'd forgotten about that pet of yours, never having liked worms whether they spit fire or not.

I had wondered about this line from the first day on the living thread.

[Nogrod]

So Boro = Chrysophylax?

And with him dead the village loses?


Well anyway... too complicated to be reasonably considered.

Errrm...no mistakes on the level of discrediting the Seer, I suppose...

Assuming he's not a co-mod...you do that!
