We are aloud to post now....right???

Hehe, glad you enjoyed it.

Yeah, totally. Feel free to babble.

k, awesome, so:

Ok, so Night 1 I was concentrating on this post by Lari:

Quote:

Guilty:
Shasta
Wilwa
Dury
Izzy
Nerwen
Rikae
Lommy
Kath
Nienna

Cause like all 6 of us were on this list, including Rikae who was a cobbler (which I believe we suspected from the start almost), and that just freaked me out...just luck then Lari???

Then after Shasta’s death I concentrated on his death posts:

Quote:

And shall I not attempt to find the perpetrators of the death of our lady fair?

Sometime too hot, the eye of heav'n shines...

How canst I compare thee to a summer's day, when his gold complexion is often dimmed! Dear William, dear William, thou mak'st not a lick o' the sense!

Iago, Iago and the fair Desdemona... sonnets do not make peace with the number of ways I adore thee, Desdemona... Or even Kate the shrew! Kiss me, Kate, we'll be at thy family's abode Sunday!

A pillow, and a knife, and out, out, thine Spot! Macbeth and the Lady, so fair-weather friends of old Duncan, and MacDuff was winner or loser.
We shall never know though the battle of the trees, what Macbeth thought when he realized that stout MacDuff was ne'er born of no woman, but then ripped henceforth from the womb.

Six is the number of this post; six, it being the number of the devil; six, it being such a mythological number...
Seven? Shall seven compare thee to a summer's day? Be it more lovely and more temperate?
Shall I? Shall he, she, or it? Shall I compare thee to one of dear Will's monologues? Shall I?
Or shall I not?

I live to serve, I serve to live
What I have is amusement to give
I'm not really sure why I'm speaking in rhyme
But good golly, Miss Molly, I'm having such a time!
For when does one dance and appear off his head?

O, villain, villain, smiling, darned villain!
My tables, — meet it is I set it down,
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain.

The William is what caught my eye…William = Wilwarin. Then I saw Kate = Kath, Duncan = Durelin, Molly = Lommy, and the smiling villain had to have been Nerwen with her cheerleader thing (Pollyanna??), couldn't fit Nienna into it though. But since that all came after him talking about finding the perpetrators and all, I didn't think it could be a coincidence. Though of course there was nothing for us to do, just hope no one else picked up on it...

And of course his one going on about the number 6, because there were 6 wolves, hahaha, I'm surprised no one caught that one...or was it all actually coincidence and I'm just crazy??? Sally??Shasta???

And my little "assignment", was to be as unbiased as possible, making it look like I didn't actually care which side won as long as we all had fun....I was quite terrible at it, so when I get a PM from Mnemo saying "You're dead. Stop posting. Explain in a sec." I was so sure I was being mod-fired for not doing well with my task, haha. Turned out I was just targeted by someone for something or other...which I'd like to have explained by the way, haha. Condisering there wasn't an overly large amount of suspicion on me I'm not exactly sure why I was targeted twice like that.

But it was quite fun indeed. I tried to follow along as much as possible but I was really quite lost, not sure exactly what was going on the last couple of days. But it was highly enjoyable!

Wonderful job Sally and Mnemo! And great effort my ducky friends!!!

All hail the Phantom....

Nienna · 03-30-2009, 01:59 PM

Good job village though i really wanted us duckies to win... anyway...

I'd just like to mention how we started referring to Lari's list as [I]the list and we were quite sure that she was some omniscient being or something... we even contemplated testing the list...hehe... anyway

Good job duckies even though we did lose... I was particularly impressed by Dury and her Alpha duck reproducing theory which many people did latch onto because they were so sure that the ducks were reproducing.

A few things about my posts... i left hints all over the place (Bill Shakes for instance) and also in my color analysis most if not all of the baddies were given heavy metals (they cause cancer in california). Rikae in like all her posts during the first few Days mentioned the Cobbler in some way or another so that was why i told her to stop hitting the nail on the head... or something... so that she would get that i was on to her.

Yay for my first ww game... though I don't believe i did terribly well...

Good Job everyone!

Gwathagor · 03-30-2009, 02:12 PM

Yeah! Go village!

Durelin · 03-30-2009, 02:34 PM

Ah, I figured there were that many seer and assassin types running around. We did well, considering.

Thanks for the fun!

Mnemosyne · 03-30-2009, 02:36 PM

And I'd like to point out that if Fea hadn't saved Duri for last she would have gotten deaded.

I was laughing so hard when Nog fell for her "reveal" hook line and sinker.

Nogrod · 03-30-2009, 02:48 PM

So we won!!! Yuppiii!

Congrats to all goodies!

And especially hats off to Fea! I knew your role from Day2 onwards and managed to keep it safe even if at some moments it felt pretty dangerous.

And a cool performance Mith as well! Indeed I'm dying to know how the extra kills went...

Yeah, I knew a thing and two about you two from looking at my Palantir; like that Fea was about to kill Brinn on N1 but thought better of it after learning her alignment (and as she proved to be the ranger it was sealed Fea was a goodie) and Mith being the flashing light to stop the ducks on N2 was shown to me by my Palantir as Mithturning to look at me and then vanishing with a flash of light the very same Night she stopped the ducks.

So Dury, that was why I believed them more I believed you... not that you didn't make an outstanding case for yourself! *kudos*

With this "number of ducks increasing" -stuff you got me wawering a bit regarding Fea, but as the kills seemed to concentrate on the ducks I thought it a more belivable case.

The reason I was ready to believe that "ducks increasing" -scenario was the fact I had seen in the Palantir Rikae baking pies in the oven during the Night and not being afraid of the ducks walking by. So a mother Goose she was? Well, she wasn't... but the idea of the increrasing numbers of the ducks stuck to my head and therefore you Dury managed to buzz my head a lot with that idea of yours I thought was reasonable...

And sorry Mac, reaally sorry! One or two things might have been better had I not retaliated - but it felt like it being a crucial vote then and Mith & Fea (and Nilp) being ones I would not compromise you had to take the hit from me as I had no better ideas at the time. And basically you were lynched by the baddies...

An oh my! What a game!

Sally deserves a gazillion reps from this! That was totally insane... and fun!

And I must say I have never had such an exciting role before! Looking at the Palantir and seeing things happening without knowing the alignments of the people I saw was just awesome! It really teased my brain to come up with various possible scenarios... and that was soo much fun!

I see I got a few of them right... and was soo wrong with others.

Just one of the best games I've ever had!

Thanks to you all for the experience!

EDIT: and my new avvie is just for waiting for Sally's judgement of the outcome...

Oh no need to explain, it became clear very quickly that a lot of villagers knew...a lot.

Well in a way there is a need as that information was not straightforwards: like X is a baddie or Y is a cobbler; or that the game mechanics go in the way Z.

I think I'm not the only one who needed to add things up and compare what we learned by Nights with what we saw in the thread - and then one had to combine the two: getting it right at some points and getting it wrong at others...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-30-2009, 03:07 PM

Ooh. Xi + Yj + Zk = summat.

Durelin wins for having the most number of post! *jubilant*

Lariren Shadow · 03-30-2009, 03:08 PM

Congratulations to the village and especially to Sally for coming up some of the most awesome stuff ever!

Depending on when you Ducks were thinking of killing me I might have been hunting Durie, who I hunted for like 2ish Days before going back to Fea. Because I always tend to think she's guilty and hunting Fea is never really a bad idea.

As for my list that one was of who I thought was innocent. So what I've now learned from this game: those who I think are innocent are guilty.

Your success in being able to vote the innocents against the baddies in quite a many Days in a row do indeed suggest that! Just vice versa.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-30-2009, 03:32 PM

Well, that was a rather smooth return to lycanthropy, if I do say so myself.

With my academic responsibilities almost over, and my slavery still undetermined, I shall be serious in the next game, bringing all my logical powers to bear.

. . . Unless I am the Seer, in which case I'll be lazily working towards a mathematical win. Again.

Isabellkya · 03-30-2009, 04:26 PM

Yay..!!

Great job everyone and Moddesses. xD

Too bad my internet connection was so lousy my last Day.
I still don't get why you wasted a kill on me. Not like I had any other information to add to the pile.

I'm still quite confused on the despair-ish feelings from the Day Gwath revealed.
Ah well.
