Glirdingo's head is mine! i called it!

congrats Thin-Lommy, just to let you know i voted for you in the final scenario too, so that may have pushed you toward the win... your welcome...

What? Why do you want my head!? What did I do to you!?

And congrats Thin-Lo!!

Mods, great game!! I had a blast!!

Thanks everyone!

It was such great fun to play with you and you all wrote so well!

And thanks to the mods too, you were awesome.

This was also much fun to read! Didn't look so good for you in the middle of the game, when you missed one post, but a handshake and "Congratulations This-Gloomy!" and even more "Congratulations Lommy!" AND "Congratulations Valier!".

A succesful game this was, only thing that wasn't so great was the night-chat, hard to have a working thing like that...

That was a lot of fun. Congratulations to everyone involved, especially Valier for instigating it.

Perhaps in the future the game should go at a more leisurely pace? It was sometimes a bit annoying for my family having me demand online three times a day.

I truly enjoyed this, not least because the RPG's I'm in have been having a siesta of some kind for some time...

It was a fun game!

Thanks to Valier, Rune and Roa!

Congrats Lommy, you deserved to win!

If the Ka would have won, I would have written the same sentence as above for Lommy. I really appreciated your posts! Others did well too, sometimes really great, but as a continuos performance I liked Lommy and the Ka the best.

I agree with Eomer about the more leisurely pace the next time. There were times when I got the answers to my questions atfter 10PM local time and had to be at work early in the morning (and the deadline was 10AM that morning, so no possibilities of writing anything in the early hours). And Lommy had it tougher than I had, on a day or two.

48-hour days perhaps?

And then we should think about the function of the nights (other than as a space for voting). Spm was right that we lacked some of the intensity and competition. Those could have been heightened with some encounters during the nights, but there should be some basic rules and guidelines as to what is allowed and what is possible in the first instance. And surely an agreement on what we would want from them...

Thanks everyone!

Thanks for playing and doing such a great job everyone. I realy enjoyed the posts especially at the end there was some real gems.

It was a bit hard being original when you had to write that many scenarios. . . I had to write 26 and the others had even more. I felt realy bad when I send out the river crossing to Nogrod, I was simply out of ideas when I wrote that.

I agree there was some problems with sending out scenarios and such, it was mainly just bad luck. Maybe it would be better to make the days longer, I don't know.

Anyways thank you for a great game everbody.
