Formendacil arrives from the Dead, speaking in third person, and ignores the general hubbub about MVPs and such*. He makes a brief detour to quickly apologise for being wrong about Pitchwife--though he's a bit too single-minded to actually apologise for revenge-killing--and then makes a beeline for his Nienna.

Reaching his Nienna, Formendacil pries off various snugglers--he is about as good at sharing his Lover, as she at sharing him--and wraps his arms around her, pulling a blanket out of nowhere to wrap around them as they sit together watching the antics of less romantic players.

Formendacil winks at Mira as his hands and Nienna's disappear under blanket, in a totally blatant reference to Bostonmoot, and then turns to smooch Nienna on the lips.

*Note: Though Sally definitely qualifies as "MV", as a Moderator I'm not sure I can, in good conscience, actually call her a "P"--just saying.

Don't bother, I was wrong about you, too, and I had the time of my life being dead; moreover, we killed you too, so I guess we're even.
*refrains from any further comment, but can hardly refrain from snuggling Form*

I don't know, I think many people here would be quite alright with being romantic with me.

Growwwlll!

Speaking of the most valuable player, I think it is quite clear it was Fea. But it seems to me equally clear she was the MVP because of the role she had as the pen-pal of everyone.

She could have fumbled it though and in that sense I think she could earn the award for playing it sanely and to the point.

Bah! I knew there was something wrong and it centered around Fea in the first few Days but it was just impossible to stick one's finger into what it was; there was such a trust between a host of people - and all that was somehow concentrated around Fea. I remember thinking that having four wolves in a village of 16 looked such an unfair starting position to the villagers there had to be a balancing factor on the side of the innocents... but what was it? Well, now we know.

So without further ado (it's late again and an early morning call awaits)

++ Fea for the MVP


But who should win then?

I'll go with a feeling. Wilwa has played actively and involvedly in a few games after a pause from ww and has been quite wrongly treated as a suspicious person for just really playing it and trying to stir up conversation.

So I do think she would deserve to win this time to make good all she has had to endure in the last few games.

++ wilwa to win


You're wicked Sally! Love you for that!

We got off to a great start, thanks to you. But you had me first on your list! What's that about?

A dragon? I'll take that as a compliment.

For MVP I'm hard pressed to choose between Fea and Nerwen, both with obvious reasons qualifying them.

The wolf crew was well balanced and formidable, but after Glirdan was killed it seemed to me it was much easier to find links that connected the evil contingent.

And Lottie, 'I can totally read you!'.

Me and Fea where not PM-buddies. . .

She was however my Prima Donna !

We could PM, I was an ordo, other than that I was instructed to keep her out of trouble. (basicly the same as a pm buddy)

I interpretated this so: My main objective was to keep Fea and my self alive, whilst hunting wolves. I decided that no matter what, my role would not allow me to vote against Fea.

I am not sure if this was the intention our mod had when assigning me a Prima Donna or if she was just having alot of fun with the roles. . .

I would like to point out that I guessed that Fea's role was special from the begining. Granted, I was not right about excactly how, but still. . . I am proud of my self.

I wouldn't be suprised if every male in the game are attached to you like this. . .

Anyways are you planning on getting your self lynched on day one?

Same diff, lovely. Lol everyone got their normal PM and then a blanket clause tacked on congratulating you on your new Prima Donna. When Fea got hers I think her reply was something along the lines of "OMG YOU MADE ME THE VILLAGE PROSTITUTE I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!" Or some such.


With that....

++Fea for MVP

++Everyone for snuggles

++Form and Nienna for hand check

Fair play.

I am just saying, if you had wanted me to doubt Fea at anypoint you should have phrased it differently.

++Fea for Most Organized Player

Allow me to explain: When first Sally told me I was playing (not asked, told), I said I couldn't play. Too busy, Sally. I keep breaking into hysterical laughter any time somebody utters the words "free time" at me. "But Fea, it's a popularity contest." "Okay, I'm in, but I won't have time to really participate."

The game starts. I get a message from Mira. "Check your PMs yet?" I decide I'm probably a wolf, if I've got a player wanting me to check my PMs.

Lo! I'm not a wolf, I'm the village prostitute. Y'all are lucky you didn't get the clap or syph off each other, y'all spent so much time cozying up to me.

Oh god, I thought, I do NOT have time to PM every single player but Form and Nienna. I barely have time to sleep!

And then the PMs started rolling in.

I made a point only to reply to PMs, not to spontaneously send any (with a couple notable exceptions), in effort to keep my sanity.

Me telling Sally that I'd play, but only had time for limited participation turned into sending over 90 PMs and receiving at least that many.

Now remember that I wasn't allowed to let anyone find out I was lovers with practically everyone, and think about how that fits in with having to participate on the thread without seeming to buddy up with anyone and raise questions, and think about having to PM people without slipping and giving away any information I 'shouldn't' have.

When Brinn mentioned her PM buddy, oh those PMs did pour in. Brinn has a PM buddy? Do you think everyone does?

It sure seems like it, I responded dutifully. I wonder who her PM buddy is.

(If you're wondering, the consensus was that Brinniel was penpals with either Zil or Izzy.)

Anyway, yes. I'm being narcissistic because I was crazy ridiculous organized in effort to avoid slipping any information to the wrong parties, and to maintain records of what false trails I laid to flush my wolves.

Loved this game. Though we all got killed off quite quickly, it was fun while it lasted. However, I was told that I my aim was to be the last wolf standing, so I did accomplish a bit of it.

Fea was my PM-buddy as well. When Wilwa said that Fea was hers, it dawned on me that she might have had the "village prostitute" role that was suggested in an earlier game (that she's everyone's lover). However, I didn't really talk to her much, mostly because I was afraid I'd look suspicious.
