++Menel


again, just to keep it close

Rikae 10-16-2006 05:09 PM

Shame there's no double lynching! This game is over, it'd be good to get the next started sooner (maybe with more baddies to make it more challanging...).

Kitanna 10-16-2006 05:42 PM

++ Menel
Because I suspected him at one point.

Meneltarmacil 10-16-2006 07:10 PM

Well, I guess there be no point to this anymore, and I'd like to get it over with too, so...

Okay, mateys, I'll admit it. I be a filthy, rotten, Thing! Arrrrrrrr!

++Meneltarmacil

I'll be gettin' ready to walk the plank now. Good game, me hearties, good game.

Valier 10-17-2006 12:03 AM

Sorry about the lateness...I had major computer problems. I will have the final death up some time tomorrow. The villagers have won. Great game by everyone!!! You may use this thread for discussion and such. :)

Valier 10-18-2006 05:50 PM

The village was divided. Who was the Thing? Was it Menel or was it Gil? Everyone argued and bickered and voted for who they thought was evil. At the end everyone had, had enough. "This must end!!" someone shouted.

"Ok, ok It's me...." Meneltarmacil stepped forward. "I was going to just hide it, but I don't see how that could happen now....Dang you people!!! Well I don't see why you need to kill me, I'm not so bad, I swear!!! Honestly!! I just want to steal your body that's all....is that so bad? You won't feel a thing...."
" I doubt Folwren or Jenny would agree with you." Said Rikae with a frown.

The remaining innocent villagers all began to come together into a tight huddle, while Menel the Thing just stood and waited.
They whispered and whispered, then dispursed without word.
They all walked slowly and calmly towards their houses and closed the door.

Menel the Thing just stood and a smile crept across his face. A few minutes later each villager came back out their doors and crossed the short distances towards the Thing. They each in their hands held a long pointed spear.

Menel the Thing lost his smile. "Ok now what are you going to do with those......

*Thunk!, Thunk!,Woosh!, Thwak!, Thunk!, Sploosh!*

Every spear of every villager hit the standing Thing. He stood dead, on his feet, impaled with the creature inside no where to be seen.

" I think we must have got it too" Whispered Eonwe. "Let's hope your right" sighed Kitanna.

" It's over"
Volo said as he poked the body with a stick. "Let's all go have a drink."

Nogrod 10-18-2006 05:54 PM

Well.

I must say I have very mixed feelings about this one, mainly negative ones as I had no chance to kind of play the game more than the first Day.

I was your original Ranger. So on Day1 I was innocent!

I thought many enough of you would know that to be my style - to discuss the reasonable course of the gifteds in a new situation - and then in this game, distancing myself of the actual gifted role. Unhappily I was not there to defend my positon on Day1, not the least because Rune and Naria had turned me into a Thing the Night after the Day1! I would have loved to play that Day2 to defend my earlier (innocent) self now turned into a baddie... I think I might have made it, but who knows? Maybe this is an honourable way to lose? But it was a chance of a very interesting gaming lost for not being able to get online on that second Day...

So it was just a nightmare to first find out, that I was turned into a Thing (Lommy sent me an sms to the hospital to inform me that the Ranger was there no more), and then I heard that I had been lynched during the Day by another sms by Lommy. I didn't quite know which side to relate to as it was so quick.

A bit frustrating, I must say... but fun as long as it lasted!

Hats off to our balanced gifteds! Well played Kitanna & Macalaure! This was not an easy one and you still played calmly enough! Beautiful!

And Rikae, really well entered into the games here! Hope to see you in Diamond's game soon!

Valier 10-18-2006 06:01 PM

I must just say that the day Nogrod got killed I was groaning in my chair, but when on the third night they changed Jenny and the Seer and Weaver both dreamt of Her I was ready to smash my head into the key board while screaming NNNNOOOOOOO!!! WWWWWWHHHHHYYYYYY!!!!!???????? :p :eek:

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-18-2006 06:04 PM

About Nogrod being our choise: we all agreed on picking him, but I think we had all forgotten that he would not be around the following day. I know I had. . .

I felt we (the things) were rather unlucky. After a really good day 1, everything went wrong.

I really enjoyed this kind of game and would love to play it again. Thanks Valier for a great game consept and a good game.

Naria 10-18-2006 06:12 PM

First off I want to offer an apology to Nogrod. We must have had our brains in our backpockets at the time. We totally forgot that you were away that whole next Day, if we had remembered we surely would not have picked you.

I was an original Thing along with Rune and Folwren. I adopted my 'older' playing style for this game mainly because I figured that with this type of game it may pay off. Well it kinda did and kinda didn't:rolleyes:

Mac was very very high on my radar starting on Day 2. I don't really know why we picked Jenny over Mac...I just kept second guessing myself and that led to absolutely no where.

Fantastic job by Kit and Mac!! Rikae, well done! I was very surprised how knowledgeable you were, this being your first game. :)

There are of course a few kinks that need to be worked out if Valier were to do another game like this, but all in all a very good game played by all!!

I think this is just the perverse kind of psychology! I had made a pretty good case against Jenny on Day1 (I was innocent - Jenny was innocent, so I was so completely wrong!), but still on the following Day, the others picked first on me and then both the Things and the innocents picked on Jenny...

It's not random.

PS. I can relate to your feelings Valier! I've been (co-)modding one game myself! That is so nerve-wrecking in the beginning to think that the game ends in just the three first Days!

JennyHallu 10-18-2006 06:29 PM

Notice when I was switched, folks? My theory holds ture...I'm always suspected when I'm innocent, and so far never suspected when I'm not. Unless I've been dreamed of.

And Rune and Naria, you should have gone for Menel...or anyone who wasn't high in everyone's suspicions already.

Nogrod 10-18-2006 06:42 PM

I really can emphatise with you Jenny - and am so sorry to have been so strongly suspecting you on the Day1! And you had to pay for it...

So sorry...

Maybe next time we'll get a better understanding of each other? :)

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-18-2006 06:56 PM

Well I kind of wanted to go for quiet player after the Nogrod disaster, but somehow ended up doing the opposite.

Rikae 10-18-2006 06:56 PM

Thanks, Nogrod & Naria ... I'm going to wait for Jenny's game, since I don't feel ready for the major league quite yet!
Valier, I've got to compliment you - this was loads of fun while it lasted & I loved your death posts...
Menel...you actually had me thinking you were the weaver on day one, with your remarks about Mac's innocence depending on mine!
I voted for Jenny because of Nogrod's remarks, but I could have sworn she was the ranger and he was the original thing.
As for my weird initial post, I just wanted to "stir the pot". :D

Nogrod 10-18-2006 07:14 PM

Rikae: don't be afraid of the "major league"! There isn't that kind of difference any more - if there ever was - between the WW and the WWJ. And as there are not so many players to participate as there were on the "golden times of the WW" (I never experienced that, or just the last moments of it), you really should involve yourself if you just have any wish to play in the first place...

Don't be shy! You play well, so come and join the game!

Gil-Galad 10-18-2006 11:19 PM

second game of WW which i didn't die...

Naria 10-19-2006 01:38 AM

I did go for Menel dearest Jenny, just not on the Day that you would have liked :p
There are a whole bunch of would have's and should have's.*shrugs*Better luck in the next game I guess :)

Wrong, it was Connection and Thing,Thing.

My goodness! Now I see how extremely lucky we were on day 2. As the weaver I really feared the situation where I would dream of an ordo and a gifted, because it so easily leads you to believe one is guilty. Thanks to the things for choosing Nogrod on night 2, we might have ended up lynching our ranger. :D
Even independant of my 'knowledge' I found Nogrod so suspicious when I reread day 1. I would have waited til day 3, but there was the danger you were no longer there then, and I couldn't make out any alternative suspects.

Lommy, I'm so very sorry about voting for you the first day. The only thing worse than knowing nothing is thinking you know something while actually you're being utterly clueless...

I'm sure Valier was very happy when her seer and her weaver banged their heads on each other on the first day - and then not so happy when both dreamt of each other the following night.
And we were so lucky with our dreams on night 3. Or at least I was, great job Kitanna!

Naria, you really should have picked me that night. I would have had such a lovely death narration... :)

What else?
Amazing debut, Rikae!
Sorry about suspecting you, Menel and Jenny, when you were still innocents.
And Folwren, I will never trust you again. You were so convincingly innocent, I would have drawn completely different conclusions if you survived the second night.

Meneltarmacil 10-19-2006 08:02 AM

Arrrrrrrr
 
Well, this was an interesting game. Good strategy for luring out the Ranger you used, Nogrod.

Mac, you don't have to apologize for your suspicions. You were doing your duty as a villager there.

Anyhow, I'm glad to see I didn't die on Day One this time. It was starting to look like I'd become the next Eomer of the Rohirrim for a bit there.

Finally, there's one question I've been wanting to ask: What, exactly, is a "Fenris Wolf," anyway?

Folwren 10-19-2006 09:28 AM

Haha, yes. It was extremely vexing that we forgot that Nogrod wasn't going to be there that second day. I wouldn't have done it if I had remember. I knew that it was a dangerous step to turn him into a Thing, because I knew that he was suspected and that people doubted him. However, we were hoping that he was the Seer or the Weaver. We didn't mean to get the Ranger. Bah.

And, right, Naria, Rune - you shouldn't have gotten Jenny. She was so highly suspected! But oh well, I wasn't around anymore.

I know. *sigh* That was my only regrets about playing so magnificently. ;) Really, it was. All the while I was acting innocently, being proclaimed definitely innocent by Nogrod, and not suspected by anybody, I withered where I sat, knowing that hence forth in any other games it would be 'Oh, no, I've seen you act like this before and you were guilty!' I'm not that good of a liar in real life. It's being able to type and you not being able to see my hot, flushing face and excited expression.

It was a very good first day and I was sooooooooo disappointed when I was kicked off.

I understand that it's a wolf who managed to be lynched the first Day.

I wasn't exactly lynched the first Day, but I did die. May I be a Fenris Thing? :p

JennyHallu 10-19-2006 10:05 AM

What do you mean about Nogrod's "lure the Ranger" strategy? He was the Ranger.

Meneltarmacil 10-19-2006 10:11 AM

Actually, I hadn't read his comment before I posted, Jenny. My mistake.

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-19-2006 10:33 AM

You were a great thing Jack, but you may not be a Fenris. Infact all Fenris titels is from this moment revoked!

Come on. . . Fenris would never die on day 1, Fenris would swallow the intire village and die from indigestion!

Aaaahhh, shucks.

;)

Why are they being revoked? Are you serious? Everyone with a Fenris title is getting rid of it, or are you just saying that for your opinion?

-- Folwren

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-19-2006 11:41 AM

My opinion. . . .

Volo 10-29-2006 02:00 PM

hah! I was all wrong in the end :D shows that I still have a long long way to go in the world of WW.
