Tol-in-Gaurhoth LII: Star Crossed II: Together for Eternity

[Nogrod]

Sally & Gollum: Why did you chose Agan on the next Night after Gwath had saved me? You had basically a free kill on me but decided to go the other way taking a risk? I mean I really couldn't believe my eyes when I saw I was alive that next Day (I almost decided not to open the computer in the morning to check it out as I was quite sure I was dead - well, luckily I did bother checking it...). Or were you told there were two rangers?

I knew it! Well, guessed it right... but at that point of the game it really felt like that.

Also I take some pride in insisting through the whole game that just two pairs of lovers was not the whole picture of the game. After Fea and Eomer turned out to be cobbler-lovers it all seemed pretty clear game-mechanicswise. But having played with you Di and being in your games before I really had that bad feeling to the end that there might still be some surprises lurking around the corner...

But you can imitate that furor as a baddie as well, and to do that in a very believable manner. I'm probably never going to forget your performance in that game a while ago when you as a baddie played like someone who had taken it very personally and were really, personally outraged and hurt about the mounting suspicions on you.

No, I don't think so... Due to that master-performance you made in that earlier game I will probably never be able to believe you when you get personal. Sorry. That is just the effect of that one game. You played it so believably, so heartfeltly hurt that time (while lying) that I just can't consider taking any personal approaches by you in a game seriously just like that... Although that doesn't mean I will have to suspect everytime you do it after this one as I can now see you can do it as an ordo as well...

And don't get me wrong: I love to play with you and I think we share quite a few approaches to this game (like wishing people to actually play) as well as personal traits (like being more upset when suspected heavily as innocents!).


Looking through all the trouble you went to balance the game I just will bow to your excellent decisions once again Di!
