NEW RULE STILL APPLIES - Is asking you to press thereturn key so much to ask?

Feanor of the Peredhil 07-06-2005 12:56 PM

Of course not, dear. We'll all follow orders, seeing as how you're the all-mighty mod and can simply narrate us out of the game if the mood strikes, right everyone?

Mithalwen 07-06-2005 01:00 PM

Ever see the film "Falling Down"?
 
I have to say omnipotence is not all it is cracked up to be. I have some sympathy for a former colleague who said that he believed in God, just that he didn't expect him to be interested in us anymore after all the strife we put him through and spoiling his nice world.... :rolleyes:

the guy who be short 07-06-2005 02:38 PM

But don't you love watching everything unfold and being the only one to really know what's going on? :eek:

Control+F still saves time y'know. :p

Gil-Galad 07-06-2005 02:43 PM

great job by the way Mith...about time somebody said it...

I do, I do but I dun know wheter to laugh or cry most of the times.... but after my initial grouches.. I have to say there has been some really interesting stuff going on.... I am planning an awards ceremony to follow the games.

Mithalwen 07-07-2005 06:36 AM

NIGHT IS NOW OVER - NO MORE PMs

A post will be made shortly on the game thread

Feanor of the Peredhil 07-07-2005 09:06 AM

An awards ceremony? Ooh... I'm excited now. Will Gil-Galad the Thunder Mistress get the Resurrection as a Female award? Hehe.

the guy who be short 07-07-2005 12:30 PM

I'm not sure the American will get the ywlloe card reference.

Incidentally, is Night starting soon or are you waiting for something, Mithy?

Mithalwen 07-07-2005 12:34 PM

that is why I said one more strike ......

Well partly 3 deaths in 24 hours is draining my collective juices. Partly I am feeling a little manipulated.... and I have real life issues arising that may affect my timing. Actually I although some people seem to be trying to usurp me as moderator, given that it is barely 24 hours since the last "night" began and the situation is critical. I just want ot check that everyon has at least realised there has been a day. And please I will do this for myself...............

Mithalwen 07-07-2005 12:41 PM

Nilp hasn't posted. Victim of time zones. Can't be helped this time.

Gil-Galad 07-07-2005 01:32 PM

well i did just get home...and Fea...i'm not even going to though that one

I got it.

Sorry Mith... just being an apparently non-helpful smart aleck. :(

Durelin 07-07-2005 04:41 PM

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

And sorry for my scarcity. I didn't think life was going to be that busy, but it was...and still is. Very selfishly (and yet quite truthfully), I lay the blame upon my family. :rolleyes:

Thanks for letting me live as long as I did. Wasn't much, but...I take what I can get. :p

Gil-Galad 07-08-2005 02:44 PM

i want to make clerar i will be gone for a good 12 hours, and probaly more so now that my father has locked me off the computer, so it will be harder for me to come on so i don't want to be lynched because of my inactivity! it will make me really really mad.

Mithalwen 07-09-2005 11:50 AM

The 'M-ies' s - Award Ceremony (pt 1)
 
The Cassandra Award goes to Kitanna

Unjustly maligned and suspected, to my mind she was a superb seer. She picked Kath as the Mythomaniac on the first night and Mormegil as a wolf on the second. she was already suspected by the time she was able to try and communicate this and so probably feared to be more explicit.

While TGWBS got the right strategy it was after he had voted for Kitanna.. so he gets the Baldrick Award for his cunning plan with a fatal flaw. He also gets a bonus prize for the most enjoyable characterisation :D

Gil Galad gets the Lazarus Award for his return to the fray which added to much amusement again. Also managed to play the role of the hunter without seeming to really understand it!!!!

Fea gets the Mandelson Award for Spin Doctoring. I have to say she is a player who rises to the occasion. If I catch her playing like a loon I will know she is a humble villager! Love the way she drew attention to Gil's substitution while eliding the simialar reasons for her own.


Holbytlass
gets the Capatain Oates Award for (attempted) noble self sacrifice. It could have turned the game.


I have to go almost immediately but just time for one further award -
The Svengali Award goes to Morm - I spluttered into my lunch as I realised that second night that:

Durelin wanted to protect Mormegil
Kitanna wanted to dream about Mormegil
Kath wanted to be Mormegil

Mithalwen btw had to be very careful
not to answer Mormegil's all so reasonable questions .....

Hypnotic charisma - I was seriusly freaked.


Many thanks to you all - it was an interesting game. My poor lab rats...all gone :(

Post Mortem tomorrow

Wow that's crazy. Thanks to you Gil I guess.

Gil just wondering why you wanted me dead so badly the first day?

Holbytlass 07-09-2005 11:58 AM

Mormegil, Feanor, Orominueilin, and Kath were the wolves. Oooh!! I was so sure that Feanor was innocent. (I bet you just loved that!) I did get Morm and Kath right but too little too late. Probably not ever think Of Oro.

We await your summary of deaths, strategies and all around thoughts!
Also, Kittana, who dreamt of and Gil the thunder mister(ess) who did you protect.

Great game all! Great moderating Mithalwen!!

Gil-Galad 07-09-2005 02:02 PM

i got bored and felt like picking on Morm...

Kath 07-09-2005 04:25 PM

Thank you everyone for a fantastic game, especially my fellow wolves Fea, Mormegil and Oro who I would have been lost without, and Mithalwen who wrote such wonderful deaths and made me mythomaniac!

I would just like to ask though how on earth I actually managed to convince anyone to vote for TGWBS over me! He created such a brilliant case against me and I had nothing!

Feanor of the Peredhil 07-09-2005 04:48 PM

About the people who charmingly proclaimed my innocence... I loved it. When Holby was "certain" of my innocence (was that today?) I fell out of the chair laughing.

I knew that the last day, all I had to do was get one innocent to vote for TGWBS, so I dropped everything and tagged onto Firefoot's explanation (which was dead convenient, because it meant that I didn't have to say it myself).

Thanks Mith, for the chance to play wolf, and the neat award. I kept saying I was guilty (I'll provide the links, if anyone's forgotten), not to mention publicly stating everything I had planned, and nobody listened! It was great. I accused people of doing everything that I did myself, and nobody connected it. I have to admit to loving every second of it. Wolf Chat will be posted pretty soon.

Aren't we the popular one, morm! :D

This was so much fun and the wolves were so clever. I never would have guessed Oro and Feanor were werewolves. :eek:

Oh, you wicked one!! I had no suspicions of you and of course I was certain (I would've betted on it) that you were innocent when you changed your vote to save me. Did you do it to look innocent or did you really think I was the hunter and about to take one of you down? At least I made your day!!

Kittana, I'm sorry I really did try to save you, but for that wicked-wolf, Feanor!! :D
And hey, I did vote for Kath and not TGBWS.

BTW< Firefoot, love the new avatar, it's beautiful. I STILL can't get any to work for me. :mad:

Don't be silly, there is no need for an apology! It's not like I died in RL. At least I don't think I did...

Both. Once I'm back on the computer I've got all the wolf chats saved onto (I was designated caretaker of PMs) I'll get them up and you'll see me in all my infinate wisdom. ;) I thought you were hunter, but the real clincher to that little trick was making myself look innocent. Which is also why I pushed for Firefoot's death. With that, I figured that if I was going to push for TGWBS's lynching, I had to have some real physical evidence (even if we had to create it on our own).

the guy who be short 07-10-2005 06:12 AM

I maintain that if Nilp's nation wasn't about to collapse and if he didn't have to study, the villagers could have won. :p

Anywho, I know Firefoot was to frame me, but durelin - was I right about her death being for the same reason?

About Fea: I'd started suspecting her by the last Day, and the vote clinched it. I kept friendly with her to the end, though - always handy to have a wolf on your side for your own self-survival. :D If I'd managed to get Kath lynched, I'd probably have gone for Fea next, presuming I would have lived. After that, I wouldn't have got Oro, so the wolves would probably still win.

Orominuialwen 07-10-2005 10:13 AM

Good game everyone! I was so terrified after Firefoot suspected me on the first day that just about everyone had figured out that I was a wolf, but obviously you hadn't. I was really worried about voting for tgwbs, too. I realized that if we couldn't get either Gil or Nilp to vote for him too, then Kath would be lynched and it would be rather obvious that since there were two other wolves, then the two that voted for tgwbs must be them. I was astounded that nobody really suspected me after Firefoot did in the very beginning.

Gil-Galad 07-10-2005 10:51 AM

count me in on the next game of course...

You wouldn't have.

the guy who be short 07-10-2005 11:09 AM

Maybe it's hindsight speaking. It was either that or save you 'til last.

What am I saying? :eek: I mean:

Would. :p

Feanor of the Peredhil 07-10-2005 11:21 AM

No, no... not you wouldn't have gone after me... I know you would have. Which is why you wouldn't have lived. Go read all the wolf chat. It's just been posted. Some might make you laugh.

Firefoot 07-10-2005 11:24 AM

Good grief... I should be taken out and shot... er, lynched. I think I'll give myself an award: the biggest aid to the wolves without actually being a wolf. :rolleyes: ;) I played into you wolves' plans perfectly - and then some. I think I'm getting too predictable. I'll have to change my strategy, or something.

Feanor of the Peredhil 07-10-2005 11:31 AM

If it helps, Footie... it was much appreciated. :D It would have drawn unwanted attention to me to have to state your theories.

Why, please tell me, do I have the idea now that I'll never live past DAY 1 again?

I don't understand why we didn't follow that from the beginning. It's a great idea. If she's a wolf, good, if she's innocent, she'd only confuse us in future.

++Feanor of the Peredhil

mormegil 07-10-2005 08:26 PM

I believe that it has been suggested before that Feanor be lynched on DAY 1 simply by default. :D

Mithalwen 07-11-2005 06:15 AM

Yes, it had been pointed out that her confusion strategy was dangerous (if she were innocent.. worked pretty well for a woluf...)

Feanor of the Peredhil 07-11-2005 06:37 AM

As you can see by the Letters, I had seriously considered changing tactics all together and being really quiet. :D The idea was that everyone would assume that no wolf would be stupid enough to do something so obvious. But y'all underestimate the power of insanity and stupidity... they nearly always work out. Like Mith admonishing me for pointing out, first post, that I shouldn't have been there. Figured I ought to bring it into the open before someone else did. :) And telling you to lynch me while you still had the chance... you really should have. ;)

Mithalwen 07-11-2005 10:15 AM

It was more of a case of how much reverse psych one game could take... and why Lhuna could not be so easily excluded having been allowed in... TGWBS was a help there of course pointing out the benefits of odd numbers
