Yes, the wolves have my sympathy. .... as I've explained elsewhere.
I had Holby ... her too thorough defense of vote #1 for Eomer threw me off. Gil-galad's bungle by posting at Night, plus his sheer desperation, made me suspicious. Saurreg fooled me but good. I could never see what you guys saw, at least I couldn't convince myself, until the seers left the choice between her and Mormegil. Well played, Morm and Firefoot especially! Lhuna did great in her rookie endeavor, and did have to struggle with the time zone dilemma ... and my suspicion. :P |

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! |

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.

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.

My final P.M. to Feanor:
the spite kill okay, since this kill is for spite and won't affect the game, I went through all the ww games and found 2 people (still alive) that haven't had the pleasure of being hanged or killed, Lhuna and Orom. I'm not going to kill Firefoot because werewolves don't keep promises!! I decided on Orom because of her line, "Holby, you're finished". Now she is finished, too!! MUWAHAHA -Holby That and also I had already been killed by a hunter and had never been hanged by the village. I was trying to do things differently with strategy, too but what you don't know is that on the second day I had severe computer problems. My computer would freeze up after about 6 minutes and i would have to restart the whole thing! So my desperation actually was about that and trying to get enough meaningful posts in. And of course my over-exuberance in trying to get Eomer lynched, not Gil.

Lhuna: forever remorseful. I'd been away from home all weekend (yes, my social life was why I couldn't manage to be awake at 9:00 on the weekend) and then my ride came unexpectedly early. I figured I'd get home and clear out my inbox, but then my parents offered to drive me to buy my new camera. I wasn't about to say no, which, of course, is why I was unaware of your last request. But it didn't particularly make a difference because Silly Holby didn't pick you.
Mormegil: forever remorseful. Mith knows this story, but I lied to you. You weren't a villager... you weren't anything. I completely missed your name when sign ups were happening, and then when I chose roles, I forgot about you. I'd already sent out roles to everyone else, so you got gypped when it came to that. Like I said... forever remorseful. But I'll write a really great death for you. Just to make it up to you. Guys, you wouldn't believe the number of times I had to edit my posts because I forgot about him. I don't know how either, because I fell prey, much like Mith, to his charisma and almost told him too much several times. Slap my wrist now... bad mod.

TGWBS's rough draft lynching
He was swiftly caught and bound to the stretching apparatus. Inch by inch, the villagers lengthened his small frame.
"This was not" he screamed in agony, "the way I had envisioned reaching six feet!" Not very long after, every organ had ruptured, save his skin, leaving TGWBS a rather lumpy, but tall, corpse. His spirit floated gently upward, caught on an unfelt breeze. The pearlescent shadow grimaced at his broken shell. "Nice job." he muttered rebelliously. "Aren't you supposed to be dead?" cried a villager. "Actually, I think I'm getting better." he replied, floating with supreme unconcern toward the body still bound to the frame. "No you're not... you'll be stone dead in a moment." As soon as it was said, the last recognizable traits of TGWBS's spirit fell away from his body with a resounding thud. "Well..." he said. "In that case." And floated away forever. ------------------------------------------------ The italics are what I crossed out after narrating Gil-Galad's death. This was written before I assigned roles, which is why there's no mention of being a Sherriff in there. It would have been tweaked a little before posting, but that was my initial idea for his death. Had the wolves gotten him, instead of the village doing it, they would have discovered his body attached to the whatchamayapsit in the morning.

Nice post Saurreg. By the way, if I had to pick a best player it would be you. The wolvery was just so difficult in this game.
I am happy to know that it was the wolves who killed me. Holby I figured out during that madcap half-hour before death. I'm just glad the villagers picked up on it. Well played; it was calculating and professional. And Kath is even unluckier than I am in Werewolf games - Fact. I wish you well in the future, lass! Fea, you already know what I think.

Several random items scrawled in my notebook
Firefoot was to be burned alive (of course, her feet would go first and be nicely wreathed in flame). The note I gave to Oromin was intially for Footie.
Lhuna, pre-role assignment, was to be attacked by a rabid raccoon. This was inspired by what I had planned to do to Kuruharan if he'd played. Kuru would have been attacked by rabid ferrits. LMP was scheduled to go down in a "haze of gory" as per request from a while ago. Quote:

The Hunter's Death (the blanks are her target)
"Oh excellent Lhuna, you're already here." said ___ to the slender and lovely frame leaning unconcernedly against a tree. "We went to your house, but all we found were a bunch of weapons and some dead animals with their heads displayed on your walls. Terribly odd decour, don't you think?"
Ignoring the pronounced lack of response, ___ continued to speak. "Oh good... here come more of us. Like I was saying, it's great to see you're okay. Bit quiter than usual though... And pale. Quite pale. Almost like a stuffed kill yourself!" ___ remarked with a laugh, slapping Lhuna jovially on the shoulder. Quite unexpectedly, Lhuna fell face forward onto the grass to reveal brutally torn clothes and long lines of scabbed over stitches down her bodily seams peeking out modestly from beneath. Immediately ____ suffered a massive cardiac episode and died. --------------------------------- Of course, this would have been edited a bit, given whatever circumstances I felt needed to be included. I probably would have had the wolves show up at her house and then before showing anything happening, I'd continue on to morning, where her chosen prey would find the taxedermied body leaning against a tree and chat with it for awhile. This is, by far, my favorite death, even though it's still in it's rough stage, and I didn't get to use it.

I had meant to mention this earlier, but only remembered now. The term, "hung, drawn, and quartered", is borrowed from butchery. The 'hung' and 'quartered' part are obvious. What isn't so obvious, and Feanor must not have realized (i.e., goofed), is that "drawn" refers to the intestinal organs being "drawn" from the carcasse's middle. Thus, in "Braveheart", when William was being "drawn and quartered", which they couldn't show even on an R rated movie, all they could show was William wheezing "freedom!" without being able to support it with breath, because all his supportive innards had been removed. Otherwise, I think you got everything spot on, Fea.

The note you had in my death was lines from a song, right? They sounded vaguely familiar (like I've seen them in a signature or something) but I have no idea where they're from. (I don't know much about music after 1975 or so )

And that discovery revealed how much loudmouths you and morm really are. Holby...why? Should I have said something along the lines of "Holby, you're finished" for you to kill me? You should have taken into consideration that I am a newbie...and fresh meat is always delish. This part of Fea's post is particularly funny: Quote:
Fea, whatever happened to the Lhunacy part? But that was great. Especially the words slender and lovely frame - I had to laugh. You should have heard me. And Lhunartemis... I don't know if I should take it as a good thing or not that you so want to see me die. By the way, methinks there should be a rule against deleting posts.

Speaking of Kath . . .
I've noticed that no Ranger survived in every game played with a Ranger so far.
Hmmm . . . is this a cursed role?

I couldn't agree more. I think edits are troublesome as well. Especially when you add content. If it's just to correct spelling or grammar that's fine, but if content is added often times I won't check back on the posts to see it they've been edited or not.

Gil edited his post to add a vote for me, which I didn't see for a good few minutes. And let me tell you, that half-hour was hectic and confusing. There should be no editing and no deleting. Double-posting is not a problem in Werewolf games.
I loved my death, though. Profound fear of drowning indeed, eh tgwbs?

Lhuna: the rabid raccoons? You were going to be foaming at the mouth, running around screaming, terrified of water, acting all around weird... and nobody was going to know there was anything wrong for quite some time. After that, you would drop dead and people would be left to wonder which symptoms belonged to rabies and which belonged to your Lhunacy. Yes, I know... rabies doesn't work that fast. But there were a lot of raccoons and they were maltempered. They got her but good. Mormegil: I haven't been feeling quite up to par the past few days, but once I'm back to myself, I'll get a death up for you.

Due to personal circumstances, Gil was rendered unable to get onto his computer for more than ten minute stretches. We conversed for a bit after he died/resigned and he may or may not try again in a new game once things settle down. I wish him the best.
On more of a [retired] moderator's note: for the love of Eru, don't delete posts, and if you do, post a new one saying that you did, and why. Do not edit posts, just double. You wouldn't believe how hard that is to keep track of. Firefoot... luck be with you, because it's tough watching players screw up and not post to "nudge" them. I gave in in the very beginning when Holby reacted to my own death by saying "DON'T kill her because she reacted." Of course, she was a wolf, but I didn't want to see her go so fast for a bad reason. My explanation was entirely accurate; that death was written long before I assigned roles. Also, I've noticed that it's a royal pain trying to keep tabs on what players are saying and where. In Game 5 (MM), a few people posted on the discussion thread. In Game 6 (my game), a few people did the same. That makes it tough on the Mod, and it makes it tough on the players.

What I should have posted on DAY 2.
I thought Gil was innocent, because our moddess said that all NIGHT duties were performed flawlessly.
I thought morm was a wolf, luring out the "Hunter" like that. I was sure Oro was gifted. I thought she was the real Hunter. I thought Saurreg was the original seer. I knew Firefoot was the Mytho-Seer. Good thing I did not post this. I might have cause enough of a ruckus to get me lynched. Wait, that's a good thing . . .
