Hehe. The comment that I received was: "this is too much even for you".

Edit: Still, at least the comment that you received, phantom, is continuing the Shakespearian theme.

Business: Kath's save has been filled. You're not really a shrew, darling, but I couldn't help myself!

Pleasure:

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!!

Thank you so much for playing, everybody!

Anguirel: You amused me so much. I loved the scholar routine. You know, if you'd actually been able to convince them to kill me, I'd have ended the game and worshipped you permanently?

Boromir88: I wish so much you'd lived longer, especially after badgering you so endlessly to play. Great while it lasted, though...

Diamond18: If I have anything to say about your RL death, it will be that poetic.

Eomer of the Rohirrim: You made such a lovely wolf, love... I'm so glad my room-mate chose you.

Estelyn Telcontar: I don't know if you fully appreciate just how happy I was when you finally agreed to play!

Kath: Again... I swear you aren't a shrew.

littlemanpoet: I almost made you a wolf. Seriously, I was about *this* close to it.

Mithalwen: I believe we're even. Now I can't PM you connivingly with "But I need you..." when what I really mean is "But I want you!"

mormegil: I'm quite certain, love, you're a new breed of Fenris. First wolf to be killed by his brother at Night.

Nogrod: Lovely logic, there. You had such amazing evidencial posts.

Roa_Aoife: As always, your organizational skills amaze me. Sweet work with analyzing daily posts.

the phantom: You know I love you.

The Saucepan Man: Congratulations on winning!!!!

Thumbs up

I'd been observing this game for quite a while, and, well, this certainly was an interesting and most unusual game.

Anyhow, I'm the one who sent out the random positive reps near the end. As I said, though I do not know who is responsible for the neg-reps.

So, it was last villager standing? But how come Mith died before me?

Yes, I am seriously befuddled. If I did win, it was through no particular effort on my part. I was, as I said all along, merely trying to find a Wolf and save the village.

I had wondered whether this ...

... and that Mith was right all along. But, as she was the one to spot it, surely she is the one who deserves to win ...?

In any event, it would appear that both Wolves were dead by the end of Day 2. So I claim a village win.

Question

Oh, and how were the Nightly kills chosen after Night 2? Were they random or did you select them, Fea?

I think it was fun following along, folks. I suppose I need to know what a Fenris wolf is--or what game that came out of.

Maybe Mithalwen should have voted to lynch Fea and not me? Phantom did raise that possibility . . .

Anyhow, ... once my RL work is out of the way, like a good girl who obeys the WW rules--save your reps till it's over-- I will rep you all--positively --for your funniest posts.

Fie upon thee, Fea, for fiendishly instilling fear into our fëar!

What a confusing game, and what a lot of superfluous deaths - including mine!

It was an interesting experiment, though I would have liked to:

a. live longer

b. had more interaction among the players

The fact that several players were so conspicuously absent most of the time made it less fun to post - there was too little interaction for true playing enjoyment, as far as I'm concerned. That was very different to my previous game, where the amount of posting I did wouldn't have been at all unusual. Had I known that WW games could be played with so little effort, I would have done so more often!

Still, thanks, Fea and all other players, for a unique WW experience!
