Fantastic deaths by the way Fea!

I think he did but he decided to delete many of them.

1420! How do I feel?

I feel like a thousand lemmings deprived of a chance to jump off the cliff.

That's how I feel.

You see the scar on my sig? It's your fault, you wolves! Argh!

Vy ze vay, nice game, guys. Nice death scenes, Fea.

And, Firefoot, looks like Episode 6: The Return of the Villagers came true.

This is all your fault, Fea.

I was ready for my heroic act for the last Night, only to find that your PM box is full. Do you want to know what I would have PMed you? Here.

Quote:
I'm thinking, grinning diabolically to myself, sitting in front of a computer in my university, of actually killing a seer just for the heck of it. Not just any seer, mind you, but the Seer, the one I chose the first time around. Then, if Holby decided to kill me, the villagers would kill me again. Wouldn't that be fun?

But I don't desire a second death. So, just to give the whole thing a happy ending, you know my victim.

Holbytlass.

Make sure to make my death extra special, okay?
But you had to go and ruin it all. And so did Holby, by not killing me. That would have been a climactic ending.

I hope you'll forever be in remorse.

End of the Lhunatic's theatrics.

Holbytlass has just left Hobbiton.
My final P.M. to Feanor:
the spite kill
okay, since this kill is for spite and won't affect the game, I went through all the ww games and found 2 people (still alive) that haven't had the pleasure of being hanged or killed, Lhuna and Orom.
I'm not going to kill Firefoot because werewolves don't keep promises!!
I decided on Orom because of her line, "Holby, you're finished". Now she is finished, too!! MUWAHAHA -Holby


That and also I had already been killed by a hunter and had never been hanged by the village.

I was trying to do things differently with strategy, too but what you don't know is that on the second day I had severe computer problems. My computer would freeze up after about 6 minutes and i would have to restart the whole thing! So my desperation actually was about that and trying to get enough meaningful posts in. And of course my over-exuberance in trying to get Eomer lynched, not Gil.

Lhuna: forever remorseful. I'd been away from home all weekend (yes, my social life was why I couldn't manage to be awake at 9:00 on the weekend) and then my ride came unexpectedly early. I figured I'd get home and clear out my inbox, but then my parents offered to drive me to buy my new camera. I wasn't about to say no, which, of course, is why I was unaware of your last request. But it didn't particularly make a difference because Silly Holby didn't pick you.

Mormegil: forever remorseful. Mith knows this story, but I lied to you. You weren't a villager... you weren't anything. I completely missed your name when sign ups were happening, and then when I chose roles, I forgot about you. I'd already sent out roles to everyone else, so you got gypped when it came to that. Like I said... forever remorseful. But I'll write a really great death for you. Just to make it up to you. Guys, you wouldn't believe the number of times I had to edit my posts because I forgot about him. I don't know how either, because I fell prey, much like Mith, to his charisma and almost told him too much several times. Slap my wrist now... bad mod.

TGWBS's rough draft lynching

He was swiftly caught and bound to the stretching apparatus. Inch by inch, the villagers lengthened his small frame.

"This was not" he screamed in agony, "the way I had envisioned reaching six feet!"

Not very long after, every organ had ruptured, save his skin, leaving TGWBS a rather lumpy, but tall, corpse.

His spirit floated gently upward, caught on an unfelt breeze. The pearlescent shadow grimaced at his broken shell. "Nice job." he muttered rebelliously.

"Aren't you supposed to be dead?" cried a villager.

"Actually, I think I'm getting better." he replied, floating with supreme unconcern toward the body still bound to the frame.

"No you're not... you'll be stone dead in a moment." As soon as it was said, the last recognizable traits of TGWBS's spirit fell away from his body with a resounding thud.

"Well..." he said. "In that case." And floated away forever.

------------------------------------------------

The italics are what I crossed out after narrating Gil-Galad's death. This was written before I assigned roles, which is why there's no mention of being a Sherriff in there. It would have been tweaked a little before posting, but that was my initial idea for his death.

Had the wolves gotten him, instead of the village doing it, they would have discovered his body attached to the whatchamayapsit in the morning.

Nice post Saurreg. By the way, if I had to pick a best player it would be you. The wolvery was just so difficult in this game.

I am happy to know that it was the wolves who killed me. Holby I figured out during that madcap half-hour before death. I'm just glad the villagers picked up on it. Well played; it was calculating and professional.

And Kath is even unluckier than I am in Werewolf games - Fact. I wish you well in the future, lass!

Fea, you already know what I think.
