I'm sure I could be wrong, but this reminds me of that time that m'dear Lord Phantom played the part of my husband, the Innkeeper. I'd have killed him in a heartbeat.

Three years before, Sauron had turned Phantom into a werewolf. Usually, Sauron would go to the outskirts of a village and draw the three villagers with the darkest hearts to him and put into them a foul werewolf spirit, but he had gone out of his way to make Phantom a wolf. Phantom did not come to him- he pursued and captured Phantom. Phantom was a young, intelligent, persuasive man, and Sauron knew he would make a perfect werewolf- and he did.
Was it WWIX where tp was the one of those mwahahahahaing wolves?

I laughed on this one.

For the joke on a village occupation, I see morm saying "don't kill the messenger" and I see the lecherous innkeeper commencing the game of spin-the-bottle.

Congrats, Fea- you've spotted some easter eggs.

Egg #2 concerns history here on the Downs- the fact that I have been a wolf in other villages (II and X).

Yes, that was the reference to Middle Earth history I was looking for in egg #4.

Yes, indeed. Feanor of the Peredhil was rearranged to make "thin feral feeder? Pooh!".

Good eye. That was egg #15.
Quote:

Yes, that was egg #6.

So, we still have numbers 3, 5, 8, 9, and 12.

Nine is extremely easy to spot.

3 and 8 go hand in hand, you might say. If you figure one out, you will figure the other one out fairly quickly I should think.

Also, I just have to ask- those of you who were reading my game-ending posts as I was making them, especially those still "alive" (Underhill, Esty, Fea), did I succeed in temporarily making you believe someone other than Enca was the wolf?

I wanted you to think at first it was Underhill or Esty, and then when Fea crashed into them I wanted you to think it was her, and then finally learn it was Enca. Did it work?

Not for me...

I was eagerly watching despite the relatively late hour, and you had me thoroughly annoyed at dragging it out for so long.

And I knew the truth of the matter!

Of course it didn't work on you, Formy- you were a wolf!

Hey, now, if it worked on at least one or two people then you have to admit it was worth it.

And don't tell me not to drag things out. If you continue to complain, next time you're in one of my games, I will make you the seer and really drag out revealing your dream every night. As a matter of fact, I'll drag it out throughout the day and only tell you after voting has begun.

Never get annoyed with me- for I can always do far worse.

Mwu ha ha ha!

Well, phantom, I was very sure that Enca was the wolf, but I must admit that your way of stretching out the suspense did have me doubting just a bit! At any rate, it was a highly entertaining series of posts - the last day was my favorite for that reason! It was simultaneously aggravating and amusing.

I wasn't sure if it was Enca or Mr. Underhill, I admit, but I'd completely cleared the other two...

Mister Underhill has been trapped in the Barrow!
It worked on me, too -- for a minute there, I wasn't sure I wasn't the wolf.
