Werewolf VI (the saga continues in a rather continuous way) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I had meant to mention this earlier, but only remembered now. The term, "hung, drawn, and quartered", is borrowed from butchery. The 'hung' and 'quartered' part are obvious. What isn't so obvious, and Feanor must not have realized (i.e., goofed), is that "drawn" refers to the intestinal organs being "drawn" from the carcasse's middle. Thus, in "Braveheart", when William was being "drawn and quartered", which they couldn't show even on an R rated movie, all they could show was William wheezing "freedom!" without being able to support it with breath, because all his supportive innards had been removed. Otherwise, I think you got everything spot on, Fea.

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

Thank you Eomer!

I loved TGWBS's death then Fea, granting his greatest wish in death.

The note you had in my death was lines from a song, right? They sounded vaguely familiar (like I've seen them in a signature or something) but I have no idea where they're from. (I don't know much about music after 1975 or so

)

*stares in amazement* I learn new things everyday!

And that discovery revealed how much loudmouths you and morm really are.

Holby...why? Should I have said something along the lines of "Holby, you're finished" for you to kill me? You should have taken into consideration that I am a newbie...and fresh meat is always delish.

This part of Fea's post is particularly funny:

Quote:

It is now NIGHT. Holbytlass, send me the name of your spite-kill. Oro and Footie, send me a dream, pointless as it is. I suspect you will both dream of Morm. Lhuna, you should send me a name post haste. TGWBS and LMP, don't PM each other. Mormegil... remain pointlessly suspicious for a little while longer.

Where else in all the games have you seen something like this?

Fea, whatever happened to the Lhunacy part? But that was great. Especially the words slender and lovely frame - I had to laugh. You should have heard me. And Lhunartemis...

I don't know if I should take it as a good thing or not that you so want to see me die.

By the way, methinks there should be a rule against deleting posts.

I've noticed that no Ranger survived in every game played with a Ranger so far.

Hmmm . . . is this a cursed role?

I couldn't agree more. I think edits are troublesome as well. Especially when you add content. If it's just to correct spelling or grammar that's fine, but if content is added often times I won't check back on the posts to see it they've been edited or not.

morm, will you sign this petition, then? *hands morm a clipboard*

Of course though this is something probably best brought to the WWI board where general rules are spoken about.
