Pray not pierce this body with cruel spikes and forks because you all don't want to destroy something so beautiful, no?

Lastly and on a more serious note I must speak of Eomer of the Rohirrim and confess to the great disservice I have rendered to him.

Eomer, sweet Eomer. I have committed great wrong against thee by exploiting thy courteous and noble heart, and twisting that pure soul with cruel hands. What thou started with innocent humour and mirth, I return with calculated cunningness and dark malice to shape my ends. And in doing so I caused thee an unfair burden of guilt and shame that should have been mine to bear.

It tore into me when I read thy vote and at that moment all glee and pride evaporated and I became remorseful myself.

Now I wonder what would happen when I cross yonder dark river and come face to face with Eomer of the Rohirrim again. Will he find it in that noble heart of his to forgive my cruel manipulations and let us embrace? Or will that handsome face turn dark and terrible, turn away and never look at me again? I shudder to think of the possibilities, especially when they are of my own making.

There I am done. Do what you must.

How can this lycan continue such a sickening masquerade for long when pangs of guilt pierces its dark heart?
Now that I found out that Saurreg is indeed a male, I find this post

Holbytlass has just left Hobbiton.
Saurreg kept our P.M.'s and will post them shortly. He's been busy and has that crazy time zone thing going on.

Nilp: When I said that NIGHT activities were performed flawlessly, it was for a few reasons, the most important being that I needed to convey that we now had two Seers. As for taking that to mean I'd heard from Gil, usually the wolves choose a spokes-wolf. I didn't personally hear from Gil until he resigned. But since I got PMs from Saurreg at first, then Holby, I didn't think a thing of it.

Oh, and now do you understand why I responded to your role guesses via a ? I'll admit freely though, of all the roles I've been (villager, Hunter, Wolf, Mod), wolf is by far the most fun. You make plans on how to mess with people and snicker for ages when you watch people defend you.

Agreed being a wolf is fun. Although don't underestimate being a non-gifted villager. It's incredibly fun to know nothing and try and guess and figure things out. Also being a seer was pretty good. I was the seer the first game ever. It was very stressful but I think I would do much better if I did it again one day.

Yes. I was ing myself when the whole thing went . . . that way.

"Hey, I actually got some of my guesses spot on!" Then .

Actually, one and a half of you guesses were correct?

What?

You got the Mytho correct, and Oro's giftedness, too. But you got her role wrong.

Oh, yeah. Thanks, Alice.

I found Modding was most fun... I crave omnipotence. Or is it omnipresence? I'll settle for both.

Seriously, describing werewolf killings and public lynches is wonderfully fun!

By the way, on Day 3 I only got two PMs from LMP, and I think I lost them...

Ah well. He was saying what to do if the Seers were wolves pretending to be Seers. It was all horribly theoretical and complicated looking, so I decided to ignore him and hope the Seers were honest.

I agree about the Modding, TGWBS, sort of...

It's a mad blast narrating (I'm sure you could tell I was having fun writing, especially when it got to the A1 steak sauce part of Holby-kabobs), but that was countered by me unexpectedly getting a life for the one weekend I'd resigned to having nothing to do but mod. It all worked out though.

I still think Wolf was more fun because with Mod, you can't step in and tweak things. With wolf, you can mold the village to fit your whims. Unless they have two Seers and have dreamt of everyone. In that case, I wanted to suggest a really daring bluff saying that the Seers (or at least one) was really a bluffing wolf and that you knew this to be a fact because you were the true Seer. You'd wanted to stay hidden for safety's sake, but you couldn't watch a wolf trick the village when you KNEW they were lying.

This would turn it into a my word versus your word thing, which would be hilarious to watch, interesting for the wolves, interesting for the seers, and simply insane for the village. Can you only imagine?

But as a mod, I couldn't step in and do anything that could affect the game, so my audacious bluff stayed quiet. I note though that the Sherriffs thought of something similar happening. Props to them.

Anyhow... Can't wait to see Fire-non-Footie's deaths.

LOLOL! I still have that saved on my crashed computer, for what it's worth.

I'll just sum up: it would have been as stupid for the werewolves to say "Hey, WE'RE the two seers, not them!" as it would have been for them to do the same regarding the shirriffs.
