I will not be here come deadline time. So, come 5:00 PM EST, please stop posting as usual. I'll be back to evaluate the damage and write the narration as soon as possible.

Do we do post-game discussion on this thread or the other thread?

the phantom · 08-19-2011, 05:47 PM

Ah well, I have to leave shortly, so I'll go ahead and start the discussion rolling here...

My joke-votes on Pitch weren't entirely a joke, as you can see now. I was provided with a perfect excuse from my conversations with Sally, but I never would've gone so far as to cast an actual vote against Pitch (let alone three) only for a laugh. I'm unpredictable, but surely you don't think I'm that crazy.

My votes were meant to be a signal to him that I thought him to be the KD (in light of my "lynch the KD" plan) and thus he could count on me paying attention to him.

And at what point did I begin to think him the KD and why?

His very very first post, of course. But I'll leave it to Pitch to spell out the details.

(PS- Sorry I had to lynch you Pitch, but not only was it funny, but I'm also quite paranoid at times and I couldn't shake this nagging fear that the KD and SHeart were given secret instructions to try and survive alone as a lover-pair, i.e. you would've continued your nightly killings.)

I have to say, Pitch's trilogy-hinting was very clever - everyone knew from Day one who he was, and there was no way to undo the damage. Of course I didn't enjoy being a wolf in the position, essentially, of having a seer that had dreamt us all on Night one, but that's how experimental games go, and I do admire Pitch's hinting skill: everyone knew what he meant, but it still didn't count as a reveal. Nicely done.

Galadriel55 · 08-19-2011, 06:09 PM

You ruined my fun. Pitch.

But that hinting was neat.

And, by the way - I think I'm the dwarf with the golden beard in the first narration. Aren't I, Foley?

Great game everyone, and great modding on Foley's part! Thank you!

Edit: xed with Rikae. I still don't get what all the trilogy talk was about.

Oh, and who was the SH? Mith, I had a random thought it was you because of your siggy. :P

Edit2: the sad thing is that we only managed to dispose off one non-forger (Glirdy dropped out, so that doesn't count). ONE!

Which one the Arnold or the Larkin? Neither were especially romantic - I would have chosen Tennyson's Mariana or Yeats or maybe a bit of ee cummings or darling Rupert "Oh death will find me long ere I tire" maybe . But no it wasn't me - I don't think I would use my sig for that purpose though I was seriously tempted to change it back to "You're so vain; you probably think this sig is about you".

Rikae · 08-19-2011, 06:41 PM

My guess would be Boro.

Eruhen · 08-19-2011, 06:57 PM

This was certainly a great game. My only beef is that I wish I had had more time to play. That's what I get for driving from Pennsylvania to Tennessee and back again in three days...

Oh, well. On the next game!
