Admin thread for TIG Whatever - Mith's game

[the phantom]

Just so you people know, I did try and help in a small way a couple of times. But the one strict rule Mith gave me from the beginning was not to step on Walter's toes. So I didn't feel that I could attack Boro.

I did, however, try to make him more likely to be Night-killed. Remember when I said this-

Heh. Boro aint the Divo. If he was, he'd have let me know somehow.

No, no, he's an Ordo, and thus he fears death at night. No doubt that is why he chose to greet the village the way he did- with a pseudonym. He greeted us as "Smithee" (from "Alan Smithee" I assume), the director's version of "Walter Plinge". He wanted to plant the idea with the Wolves from the beginning that he was Walter, thus decreasing his chances of dying and increasing the chances that the real Walter would be done in.

I was trying to make it look like he was an Ordo fooling the Critics into thinking he was Walter, thus making him a possible Critic target. As things were, I knew he wouldn't be Night killed, for I figured the Critics suspected him as Walter. So I tried to shake that assumption.

Yes. You told me I was free to do whatever I wished, except for "step on Walter's toes".

[Mithalwen]

You shouldn't take me so seriously..... I am sure that must have made sense at the time.. I dont' think I meant don't attack him at all... oh well

[Mithalwen]

I kept some but I will only post with the consent of the senders.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I meant the PMs between us critics (I didn't keep them, and I didn't get the ones from after I died), but I'd love to see some of the stuff others wrote.

I certainly have no problem with my PMs being posted, though you might need to edit some. I seem to remember my reaction to finding out the phantom didn't really die being a little... enthusiastic.

[the phantom]

No, no... Unedited versions, please.

[Mithalwen]

Oh that was classic ... on the lines of

Fea : Sorry but kill the phantom

Me: You don't have to apologise

Fea: I know but I am really sorry because he is so entertaining ...

Me: No you REALLY don't have to apologise..

Yeah, I guessed he was Walter about the same time I decided you needed to go. I'm glad my co-critics didn't off him once I'd died, as I know they were thinking about it...

Speaking of, did one you save the PMs? Can we see them?

I did consider that reasoning as the game began (thought that perhaps you'd pair them as Lovers or Critics to make things simpler for them), but I thought that it was something that didn't need to be brought up. RL reasoning and all that, you know.

Oh, it's fine. I attacked him in my own way. For instance, I pointed out to everyone that today was indeed "lynch-a-baddie" time, and not "lynch-a-Critic" time, thus encouraging anyone who feared he was but Walter and not a Critic to just go ahead and vote him anyway.

[Mithalwen]

It really was chance... I had a name list and wrote the available roles on pieces of polystyrene from my christmas hamper and drew them from the bag ...when I saw Fea and LAri.. I thought hmm..then no it works. I hadn't done well when I engineered the roles in my previous games and they had been completely onesided so I left it. I thought it had a good balance and I was sufficiently content not to restart when I had a late request to admit new players....
