Hi everyone,

Thanks for making my first WW game an enjoyable one. I had a lot of fun. And congrats to Lhuna and Mac for being so delightfully evil. :-)

Regards,
Fintaeph.

So I finaly got to see an evil Lhuna. . . .But of course some one had to kill me before making my mind up about her!

Due to past rivalries that was rather enjoyable to kill you Rune

. Of course, Jenny kept me sane enough, or cautious enough, to not kill Kath. She feared that would be too obvious.

Maybe next time.

Honestly, I don't know where I went wrong in the very beginning! There's always someone who posts suspicions based on occupations and leaving Lommy off was a mistake in cutting/pasting, Oh well. Being my 11th game and first time lynched I congratulation Fareal for getting it done.

Being my first lynching, , ours (-my turtledove and I) was brilliant and funny. To my love(last time I get to call you that

), I'm sorry that I took you down with me, this being your first game and all. I really think if you were on your own you would've made it to the end.

Great game all! And great modding Diamond, I look forward to the rest.

Yes brilliant modding by Di, although I was aiming for a same sex lover part. . . .

I must say I did not suspect you for killing me Mormegil. . .When I found out I had been killed I thougt that it might be Lhuna or Valier. . .not because I found them very suspiciouse, but because I could see why they wanted me dead. I cannot belive I did not think of you. . . It should have been obviouse

Kath's death and the final narration are both up.

A big thank you to everyone who signed up, I loved watching you play... when I had the time. Unfortunately I was only able to skim the posts the last couple of days to get the gist of the action and count votes.

I've been looking foreward to reading back over everything. I shall make comments on everyone later, for now I've been giving out some rather generic pos reps but I do appreciate everyone who played!

So, a few bits of gameplay info for the curious...

Watcher picks:

Dream: mormegil
Protect: Lommy

Ranger picks:

N2: Durelin
N3: mormegil

You all know the kills already. For a while though on Night 2 I thought Fintaeph was going to go after Lommy. So I had even written up the narration to have the Watcher do battle with the Werebird and prevail (using the Sword of Awesomeness....) before getting knocked off by the Werecat. Changing his mind to pick arcticstorm at the last moment (ten minutes before the deadline...) was a good move, however it forced me to edit out a line about the Werebird needing its lover to soothe its ruffled featheres.

I picked the roles using a deck of playing cards (LotR edition!). I had intended to have a female/female lover combo because of the higher number of females, but when I dealt the cards I ended up with exactly 2 male lovers and weres and 2 female lovers and weres. Morm, Lhuna, Naria and Fintaeph came up as Weres (the Ace, King, Jack and Queen of Hearts) and Mac, Jenny, Holby and arcticstorm came up as Lovers (2 through 5 of Hearts). So I found that kind of ironic and decided to go with opposite pairs after all. I did choose which combos to put together and who got to be which breed of were, but everything else was random. Valier being arRanger was kind of funny. I got a laugh out of that.

Oh Eru...I cannot believe this! Can someone pinch me just to make sure this isn't a hallucination caused by having a fever of almost 39 degrees C just when the game was ending? (I'm better now, though.)

Wow...I'm still overwhelmed. A big thanks really goes to Mac here. Basically all I did as the Werebear was throw some questions at him, a bit of ideas, then we both come out with our possible list of victims and see if there's a match. That's how Kitanna died Night 2.

But when there are no matches, which was what happened the next Night, I throw away my own ideas and heed his. He proposed Lommy, with Jenny in second place, the third Night. I was about to PM Di about Lommy, but suddenly figured that Lommy's less likely to be a Lover than Jenny (don't know how I came up with that). And so Jenny's death was sealed, along with morm's. That was so delightfully pleasing.

I really didn't want Kath to be killed the last Night, but we wanted Farael to be lynched, and thought we could do it easily, and killing Kath was the best course of action for that. So she died. I'm sorry, dear. At least there was no way I could carry out my really evil plan of betraying you in the nastiest way - like accusing you and Farael of being Lovers.

And I'm so sorry Rikae and Durelin, I can sympathize with the awful feeling of being so close to winning. Ah well, at least you both voted for me. Those were really shtoopid posts I put up the last Day.
