++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.
