Yeah, thanks. It's kinda weird to get online to discover your game has ended without you....

Technically it's still day, but obviously there's no reason to wait for deadline to put up the narration. I'll get to work on it right away and put it up as soon as I can. And until it's up, I'll request that everyone please don't post just yet.

The last day was a critical one for the two lonely innocent BDers. The fate of the Barrow Downs was left in their hands. The pressure was on.

For most of the day, Rikae and Aganzir butted heads.
“You are the furriest wolf I’ve ever seen!” accused Aganzir.
“Ha, I’m no wolf and you know it…wolf!” Rikae yelled back.
“Hey Kitanna, what do you think?” asked Aganzir.
“Yeah,” said Rikae. “We assume you’re innocent, so you decide. Who should we lynch?”
Kitanna, who had spent most of the day watching in the sidelines, stared hard at Rikae then moved her gaze onto Aganzir. She was silent for several minutes before deciding. “Let’s lynch Aganzir,” she finally spoke.

Kitanna picked up her pitchfork and Rikae grabbed her torch as they approached Aganzir. Aganzir’s expression changed to one of horror as she realised what was about to happen.
“No, wait!” she cried. “You’re making a mistake! I’m innocent, I tell you!”
“I seriously doubt that,” Rikae replied.
Aganzir squealed and took off running. But the poor girl was so frightened she couldn’t run in a straight line, but instead ran in circles around her accusers. Rikae and Kitanna watched in amusement as she lapped them a dozen times before collapsing to the ground from dizziness. The two looked at each other and shrugged.
“Time’s up!” said Kitanna and she sunk the pitchfork deep into Aganzir’s chest.
“Oww! This…really….hurts…” were Aganzir’s final words. And then she died.

Nothing happened.
“Why isn’t she changing?” Rikae wondered.
She glanced up at Kitanna who was wearing an unusually large grin.
“Crap,” Rikae realised. “It’s you!”
“Yep, I’m the wolf,” Kitanna laughed. “And how fun it was to watch you two go at it all day. Now, to finish it off…”
Rikae slowly backed away. “Oh please, won’t you spare me?” she begged.
“Let you live?” she replied. “Just so you can squeal?”
“No, I won’t tell anyone. I swear!”
“Well it’s a thought,” the wolf considered. “But then again, I’ve already fixed supper. All that’s missing is the meat.” She grinned.
“Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Rikae screamed and sprinted straight into the forest.

Rikae ran as fast as she could, not bothering to see if the werewolf was following her. She kept running, until she ran straight off a cliff.
“Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!” she yelled and then landed on top of the Ka’s rotting corpse with a sickening crunch.

Back at the camp, Kitanna laughed to herself as she threw the meat of Aganzir into the boiling pot.

-------------------------------------------------------------

It wasn’t always this way. Kitanna had started off like any other ordinary BDer. She had come to the camp to finally meet her online friends, and for the first two days she had honestly helped try to uncover who was responsible for the Barrow-Wight’s death. But when the wolves came to her on that third night, she received a new calling. Being evil is always so much more fun…so who could resist? And once bitten, she could never go back.

Though her mates were dead, Kitanna would finish what they started. They had sacrificed themselves so that she could finish what they started. The night before he died, Boromir had taught her all the secrets to being a hacker. It was her destiny to continue what her fellow wolves had started, and she would do them proud.

Back in the real world (where there’s electricity), Kitanna plugged in her laptop and turned it on, waiting patiently as the computer loaded. The Barrow Downs log-in page appeared on the screen and she punched in the necessary codes. “Thank you for logging in, The Barrow-Wight.” Kitanna smiled.

The hackers were now in control. A new age had dawned on The Barrow Downs, and nothing would ever be the same.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The Living:

Kitanna~the self-righteous know-it-all (hacker/werewolf)

The Dead:

Shastanis Althreduin~ chatspeak translator~became an easy target (moderator ranger)
Formendacil~ Tolkien Canonist~wasn’t very good at hiding (ordo)
Boromir88~ the one upper~made excellent firewood (hacker/wolf)
Eomer of the Rohirrim~ easily-offended trendy~his ninja moves could not match kung fu werewolf (moderator hunter)
Eönwë~ conspiracy theorist~mosquitoes loved him a little too much (ordo)
Nogrod~ the wanna-be moderator~killed by kindness (ordo)
Aganzir~ non-anonymous neg-repper~didn’t know how to run in a straight line (ordo)
Rikae~ the person who tries to fake knowledge of the books and fails miserably~ran in too straight of a line (ordo)

I can't believe Aganzir's case against me was made with good intent! Come on, Brinn, Agan's the secret cobbler, right?

Shastanis Althreduin · 07-19-2008, 04:51 PM

I do like how at one point or another every gifted targeted Rikae.

Edit: X'd with the object of my post, how ironic.

satansaloser2005 · 07-19-2008, 05:00 PM

Yay! *celebrates*

And you, you ungrateful little fuzzbuckets.... *slaps the wolves, just for effect* But we won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nogrod · 07-19-2008, 05:25 PM

It was great to see a game going to the end after a long time! These games are one good reason to play these games one after another (even if I myself had no opportunity to follow it to the bitter end).

Thanks Brinn for the genuine idea and the beautiful implementation of it! I loved the narrations – and especially mine: I would be just that guy myself – not such a looney possibly (which of us likes to be portrayed an idiot?) but the one to go and try it that way just believing things could be changed...

Congrats wolves! You were a sneaky team indeed!

Nerwen: You totally fooled me! Yes, I had only scant possibilities ond Days 1 and 2 to read and play but nevertheless you managed to convince me about you being innocent whom the others just suspected because of your IC-posts... How wrong I was!

Mith: Soo sorry! But I just felt you were a wolf this time and even if I wished to see you in the game - as I always do - I needed to see you lynched. It's not usual for me to be that confident but now I was. I just knew it from Day2-3 onwards...

Boro: Oh you devious wolf you!

My only credit is that I finally managed to write it open that I suspected you - and why I did it - before you started your ranger-show... A risk taken and won by you! Kudos. Your vote on Mith kept me away from attacking you full forwards as it made me insecure about that before your show-off which kind of changed everything...

Kitanna: Isn't it ironic that I suspected you heavily the first Days you were innocent and when you finally were turned into a wolf I jusat "forgot" you? Oh my! I was coming back with my suspicions but I never got there... *bows for cunningness & Night-boldness* (*not loving evasive victories though*)

And the special one:

Sally: You're "the natural born cobbler"! And you played it well indeed! I mean you really helped the evil-side win! Absolutely fantastic!

And a cheer to our gifteds!

Dury: It was such a fun to read your posts again! So sad you had to die so early. I'd bet a million the wolves got lucky that Night! Now what were your actual dreams?

Eomer: Gallant as ever and fun to play with (even if it took time for you to realise I was innocent). But battling it out with our ranger!

Shasta: Sooooooooooo sorrrry! Well, I tried to PM you after you were lynched but your PM-box was full (hopefully for the reason some others felt bad too). But as I said in the game already, it was not that Boro is someone who has been here longer but just because a false-revealment just didn't seem to make sense - and oh, how I pondered it only to realise it later there was a sense in it! Just don't overdo the "being controversial enough not to be killed by Night" -stuff the next time - I haven't learned it yet but maybe you could.

And kudos to the villagers! It was a nice & crowded one! I don't have time to thank you all now but just a few ones I can come forwards right now...

Aganzir: I know you're a wolf more than half of the games you play and that leads me to suspect you all the time. Your chosen tactics of playing it the way you did, didn't quite ease my suspicions - added to the way you voted. Sorry I suspected you so heavily. We could have played it fine together!

Rikae: You were on this game less than normally and I understood it as I was myself able to play less than normal... But you were just so sensible that I had to suspect you for that! (now what does that tell us of WW-games in general?) And so sad as it sounds, your individual behaviour happened to turn out "defending the wolves" and thence arousing my suspicions. Good game from you, sadly it was not enough...

Eönwë: One more sorry to be voiced! You really made yourself look suspicious in the beginning but then got much better... Sadly it was easy to interpret that as getting some Nightly advices... Also you happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time as Kath's kill pointed towards you so nicely... It was no problem in the early Days but in the end I thought it started to look like we had to check that out just to be sure.

Formendacil: Somehow your last posts during the Day you were almost lynched made me believe in your innocense. They just felt like it. It was nice to play a game with you that lasted more than one Day! Appreciated your game - but not your Day1 vote...

Shastanis Althreduin · 07-19-2008, 04:13 PM

Sigh.

I was positive Agan and Rikae were innocent, but until yesterday (you can ask Sally) I was equally sure Nogrod was the last wolf.

Well played, Kitanna.
