Sounds good, I'll be looking forward to it.

Night 1 Boromir88 as youall know now dreamt of Fea. Since the game started on March 15 the title was one of the opportunistic references used. The chamomile tea bit was a small homage to the Squatter of Amon Rudh refering to his comments about a certain type of novel in a recent "Which Downer am I " post. here . The rest is picking up on elements from the original MM game.

The secong part was just clues to the player's identities - the UK ones unfortunately being a bit obscure for the predominantly North American group of players. A witless silence was a nod to the French and Saunders parody of "Silent Witness" (cf Oddwen)

Day One

Boromir and Mormegil fight it out for the least in character player.
Jenny stays in character.
The paranoid moderator who vetoed anagrams thinks everyone is deliberately winding her up.
Fea who got away with some outrageous play as a wolf in MM1 pushes her luck.

So...

The Icarus Award goes to Feanor of the Peredhil

And for the seeming random, casual vote that turned out to be a catalyst for the hat-trick -

"The Poisoned Chalice" award goes to Sleepy Ranger

A "random" vote due to time constraints is a possible seer tactic so this, I guess cost Sleepy his life that night and protected the Seer.

when I checked in a lunchtime, it looked like Nogrod or maybe gil was for the chop. Slightly sad that Nogrod was seemingly being lynched for not being a native speaker (though it took me a while to realise that!!! - I too thought he was just extremely fierce in Kitanna's game!!!).

I wonder what would have happened if Fea had been around... but anyway Fea talked herself from the gallows and caused "Ad Hoc " lynching No1 with apologies to Messrs Pratchett and Adams.

So Nogrod gets the Hobbyhorse award for championing so effectively retractable votes. He doesn't get the Maths prize.

On the subject of things equine, Gil-galad gets the Shergar Award - now Gil-galad can't be here tonight to accept the award ...

Day 2

Rather obvious references to Sleepy's character in his death.

Boromir gets less than subtle and earns himself The Phantom Award for modesty

Mormegil gets the Sidney Carton award for attempted self sacrifice though his attempt was foiled...

by Boromir
. He gets a Treebeard Medal for condemning hastiness

to be continued

Kuruharan gets the "With friends like these " award (held by Firefoot since WW1).

Kitanna receives the Oliver Hardy trophy ("That's another fine mess, you've got me into, Mithalwen").

Firefoot · 03-23-2006, 03:36 PM

Kuru, what's wrong with you? Taking away an award I didn't even know I had.

(Morm, that doesn't mean you're off the hook. I'll get my revenge... someday...)

Still holding that grudge eh? The funny thing about that is I feel that I was a failure and I pressed you far too much and exposed myself. I feel like I was key in us loosing our first game.

I ddi plan further awards / comments but tiem has been short due to RL hassles and I guess you have all moved on now!!! I did want to mention Nogrod whose presence certainly adds excitement and debate to a game. I look forward to him playing a wolf. Jenny gave me another "Groundhog Day" moment when she seemed that she might attach herself to a wolf with her defence of Fea on Day 1 but she turned the tables on day 3. Her insticts are sharpening!! Diamond has the best dramatic timing of anyone I have ever met... if I hadn't "refreshed" before closing voting......

Oddwen, Zali and Firefoot - well all were stymied by time or timezone constraints to some extent but they are people it is great to have in a game. Their analytical approach would have come in to it's own in a longer game. Firefoot has such good instincts for this game and stays focused. Zali is a bit unlucky with her votes (but then so have I lately!). Thank you all for playing. It was truly an honour.
