again, just to keep it close

Shame there's no double lynching! This game is over, it'd be good to get the next started sooner (maybe with more baddies to make it more challanging...).

Kitanna · 10-16-2006, 05:42 PM

++ Menel
Because I suspected him at one point.

Meneltarmacil · 10-16-2006, 07:10 PM

Well, I guess there be no point to this anymore, and I'd like to get it over with too, so...

Okay, mateys, I'll admit it. I be a filthy, rotten, Thing! Arrrrrrrr!

++Meneltarmacil

I'll be gettin' ready to walk the plank now. Good game, me hearties, good game.

Sorry about the lateness...I had major computer problems. I will have the final death up some time tomorrow. The villagers have won. Great game by everyone!!! You may use this thread for discussion and such.

Valier · 10-18-2006, 05:50 PM

The village was divided. Who was the Thing? Was it Menel or was it Gil? Everyone argued and bickered and voted for who they thought was evil. At the end everyone had, had enough. "This must end!!" someone shouted.

"Ok, ok It's me...." Meneltarmacil stepped forward. "I was going to just hide it, but I don't see how that could happen now....Dang you people!!! Well I don't see why you need to kill me, I'm not so bad, I swear!!! Honestly!! I just want to steal your body that's all....is that so bad? You won't feel a thing...."
" I doubt Folwren or Jenny would agree with you." Said Rikae with a frown.

The remaining innocent villagers all began to come together into a tight huddle, while Menel the Thing just stood and waited.
They whispered and whispered, then dispursed without word.
They all walked slowly and calmly towards their houses and closed the door.

Menel the Thing just stood and a smile crept across his face. A few minutes later each villager came back out their doors and crossed the short distances towards the Thing. They each in their hands held a long pointed spear.

Menel the Thing lost his smile. "Ok now what are you going to do with those......

*Thunk!, Thunk!,Woosh!, Thwak!, Thunk!, Sploosh!*

Every spear of every villager hit the standing Thing. He stood dead, on his feet, impaled with the creature inside no where to be seen.

" I think we must have got it too" Whispered Eonwe. "Let's hope your right" sighed Kitanna.

" It's over" Volo said as he poked the body with a stick. "Let's all go have a drink."

Well.

I must say I have very mixed feelings about this one, mainly negative ones as I had no chance to kind of play the game more than the first Day.

I was your original Ranger. So on Day1 I was innocent!

I thought many enough of you would know that to be my style - to discuss the reasonable course of the gifteds in a new situation - and then in this game, distancing myself of the actual gifted role. Unhappily I was not there to defend my positon on Day1, not the least because Rune and Naria had turned me into a Thing the Night after the Day1! I would have loved to play that Day2 to defend my earlier (innocent) self now turned into a baddie... I think I might have made it, but who knows? Maybe this is an honourable way to lose? But it was a chance of a very interesting gaming lost for not being able to get online on that second Day...

So it was just a nightmare to first find out, that I was turned into a Thing (Lommy sent me an sms to the hospital to inform me that the Ranger was there no more), and then I heard that I had been lynched during the Day by another sms by Lommy. I didn't quite know which side to relate to as it was so quick.

A bit frustrating, I must say... but fun as long as it lasted!

Hats off to our balanced gifteds! Well played Kitanna & Macalaure! This was not an easy one and you still played calmly enough! Beautiful!

And Rikae, really well entered into the games here! Hope to see you in Diamond's game soon!

Naria · 10-18-2006, 06:12 PM

First off I want to offer an apology to Nogrod. We must have had our brains in our backpockets at the time. We totally forgot that you were away that whole next Day, if we had remembered we surely would not have picked you.

I was an original Thing along with Rune and Folwren. I adopted my 'older' playing style for this game mainly because I figured that with this type of game it may pay off. Well it kinda did and kinda didn't

Mac was very very high on my radar starting on Day 2. I don't really know why we picked Jenny over Mac...I just kept second guessing myself and that led to absolutely no where.

Fantastic job by Kit and Mac!! Rikae, well done! I was very surprised how knowledgeable you were, this being your first game.

There are of course a few kinks that need to be worked out if Valier were to do another game like this, but all in all a very good game played by all!!
