Admin Thread for Tol-in-Gaurhoth XVIII: The Cottage of Lost Play - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Yeah, so not that it should surprise you, but I screwed up. *headdesks* I don't know if I read the rules as the first three ties go through or if I was just reading the game thread and assumed it had been changed or what, but yeah.

Here's the deal.

I forgot/misread/whatever the "first two ties go, and then coin flip" bit of the rules. Once I talked to Mnemo I of course realized my mistake, but that was like twenty minutes ago, so I'm just getting around to fixing my whoopsie.
I flipped a coin, and Nog lost.
The narration is being blended between mine and the one Mnemo wrote because, well, I like mine, and that way it makes a bit more sense with the failed tie and all.
I think I should be shot for messing it up, if I don't headdesk to death first.
The narration, v2.0, will be up shortly. Feel free to read (and possibly vomit).
Still don't talk, because things haven't changed. Well, you know what I mean.
Mnemo will be back sometime tomorrow to clean up my mess.
I'm having a cup of tea and taking a nap now. Kthnxbye.

Sorry again about the trouble. I have no idea what went through my head, but rest assured that everything was handled fairly and nothing really changed except the narration. (As in, once I realized I'd messed up the rules I fixed everything and everything happened how it should have happened if I wasn't so tired and slightly ignorant.) Any questions or concerns with my idiocy should be handled by PM to myself, and once again Mnemo will be back tomorrow to handle the closing of the game. Thanks for your patience.

I'm back now, and just wanted to apologize for the confusion earlier (if I'd had my phone off silent this would never have happened). I'm leaving the narrational fusion (all of my possibilities had not accounted for a tie) to Sally's capable paws, while reserving the right to go back through and make some stylistic edits.

In the meantime, since I know something you don't know, I'll work on the closing narrations. They should be up by the time the next Day would have started.

Hang in there!

I don't know why Sally didn't bother alerting everyone on this thread earlier but the new narration is up.

Nog just got Gelmir'd. *grin*

More to come shortly.

And aren't you all glad we postponed the post-game discussion since there was all of that tie mish-mashup?

Yeah, sorry about that. My computer went a bit nuts so I decided to go to bed because it wouldn't behave.

Totally cool, my dear. Nice fusion, though I think I made it impossible by giving you a full-out execution to fuse into a tie-like situation.

Thanks very much. And feel free to edit; I had a rather shiny version but when my computer died it didn't save some of the changes so it's a bit rough now. Still, not bad. And there will be an end to the suffering at deadline, I assume?

Mnemosyne · 07-28-2009, 11:07 AM

Or sooner.

Penultimate bit of narration is up.

Players and observers, please still resist the urge!
