Well, it was fun while it lasted.

And sorry for my scarcity. I didn't think life was going to be that busy, but it was...and still is. Very selfishly (and yet quite truthfully), I lay the blame upon my family.

Thanks for letting me live as long as I did. Wasn't much, but...I take what I can get.

i want to make clerar i will be gone for a good 12 hours, and probaly more so now that my father has locked me off the computer, so it will be harder for me to come on so i don't want to be lynched because of my inactivity! it will make me really really mad.

The Cassandra Award goes to Kitanna

Unjustly maligned and suspected, to my mind she was a superb seer. She picked Kath as the Mythomaniac on the first night and Mormegil as a wolf on the second. she was already suspected by the time she was able to try and communicate this and so probably feared to be more explicit.

While TGWBS got the right strategy it was after he had voted for Kitanna.. so he gets the Baldrick Award for his cunning plan with a fatal flaw. He also gets a bonus prize for the most enjoyable characterisation

Gil Galad gets the Lazarus Award for his return to the fray which added to much amusement again. Also managed to play the role of the hunter without seeming to really understand it!!!!

Fea gets the Mandelson Award for Spin Doctoring. I have to say she is a player who rises to the occasion. If I catch her playing like a loon I will know she is a humble villager! Love the way she drew attention to Gil's substitution while eliding the simialar reasons for her own.

Holbytlass gets the Capatain Oates Award for (attempted) noble self sacrifice. It could have turned the game.

I have to go almost immediately but just time for one further award -
The Svengali Award goes to Morm - I spluttered into my lunch as I realised that second night that:

Durelin wanted to protect Mormegil
Kitanna wanted to dream about Mormegil
Kath wanted to be Mormegil

Mithalwen btw had to be very careful
not to answer Mormegil's all so reasonable questions .....

Hypnotic charisma - I was seriusly freaked.

Many thanks to you all - it was an interesting game. My poor lab rats...all gone

Wow that's crazy. Thanks to you Gil I guess.

Gil just wondering why you wanted me dead so badly the first day?

Holbytlass · 07-09-2005, 11:58 AM

Mormegil, Feanor, Orominueilin, and Kath were the wolves. Oooh!! I was so sure that Feanor was innocent. (I bet you just loved that!) I did get Morm and Kath right but too little too late. Probably not ever think Of Oro.

We await your summary of deaths, strategies and all around thoughts!
Also, Kittana, who dreamt of and Gil the thunder mister(ess) who did you protect.

Great game all! Great moderating Mithalwen!!

Gil-Galad · 07-09-2005, 02:02 PM

i got bored and felt like picking on Morm...

Kath · 07-09-2005, 04:25 PM

Thank you everyone for a fantastic game, especially my fellow wolves Fea, Mormegil and Oro who I would have been lost without, and Mithalwen who wrote such wonderful deaths and made me mythomaniac!

I would just like to ask though how on earth I actually managed to convince anyone to vote for TGWBS over me! He created such a brilliant case against me and I had nothing!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-09-2005, 04:48 PM

About the people who charmingly proclaimed my innocence... I loved it. When Holby was "certain" of my innocence (was that today?) I fell out of the chair laughing.

I knew that the last day, all I had to do was get one innocent to vote for TGWBS, so I dropped everything and tagged onto Firefoot's explanation (which was dead convenient, because it meant that I didn't have to say it myself).

Thanks Mith, for the chance to play wolf, and the neat award. I kept saying I was guilty (I'll provide the links, if anyone's forgotten), not to mention publicly stating everything I had planned, and nobody listened! It was great. I accused people of doing everything that I did myself, and nobody connected it. I have to admit to loving every second of it. Wolf Chat will be posted pretty soon.

Aren't we the popular one, morm!

This was so much fun and the wolves were so clever. I never would have guessed Oro and Feanor were werewolves.
