By the way, I very much enjoyed the Cage and Power Rangers, etc. We're going to have to reread this a couple months from now just so we can get the laughs all over again.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

But since when have Werebears worn tuxedos?

Oh, wait...

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.

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
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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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