Pipe a quick note on the game

I was gone for basically all of the game so I only got to scan through it but it looked like a great game to me. It would've been cool to see Gurthang pull it out, but oh well.

Gurthang's last post was entertaining, but my favorite post was probably Oddwen's lmpberry death for lmp. I had to laugh when she mentioned peach cobbler, but the whole death scene was incredible.

That made my day.

So did the 'foolish girl' remark...

I want to thank everyone again for such a great game and putting up with me and letting me live past the Third Night. Actually, I lived quite a lot longer than I expected. So thanks. Mostly. And a special thank you to Oddwen for my wonderful death.

I think this is the most rewarding game for an outsider to read yet created. It also convinces me of the efficacy and entertainment value of the Beorning...

Agreed. I was glad to be a part of it, suspected as I was. Learned a lot about handling being suspected; don't want to seem too innocent, nor too guilty. It helped me in dealing with you, Anguirel, in a later game.

Hmmm... Entertainment value. Anyone want to pass these games on to Hollywood? (I'm sure the resulting movie(s) would be rated 'R' for intense violence and gory death sequences.)

I also really enjoyed this game. And not just for the obvious reasons that it was my first and I was a New special character. I learned so much from playing and the ending was actually physically intense for me. Seriously, this had to have been the tightest ending ever. Saucepan Man's decision, the one that saved the village, was in what, the last ten minutes? That is amazingly close; it was very exciting. Definitely entertaining.
