My only response to Izzie voting me is to vote for her. I believe that Rikae is what she says she is, she was absolutely right about Brinniel and the fact that she and Sauce were not on the same side. Izzie has flown under my radar, mostly because I was concentrating on my top three suspects, but my belief in the innocence of Rikae means she must be this wailer.

++ IZZIE

It's up to Rikae now. I only hope her dreams helped her last Night.

Rikae · 09-08-2007, 08:12 AM

I dreamed of Eolin and Kath last night, and they were on the same side.

So that leaves us with:

++Isabellkya

We win!
*dances*

Shasta, can we have the final narration early by any chance? I can't wait for the post-game discussion!

Isabellkya · 09-08-2007, 01:40 PM

Actually you don't win, Kath

If what you say is true Rikae in that Kath and Eolin ARE on the same side. Then that leaves you as the Wailer/last baddie.

Might as well have it out on the table. Night 1 I dreamt of SPM and found nothing out of the ordinary about him. Night 2 I protected Eolin, and Night 3, well I was selfish and protected myself.

With that said, I am now inclined to believe Rikae to be the wailer.

The game is not over; and won't be over with me dead.

Isabellkya · 09-08-2007, 03:45 PM

Hmm, quite the head swimmer; and no one else seems to add anything else; because they seem so sure they have it figured out hmm.

If Rikae were evil, then why wouldn't she just jump on my voting of Kath and vote likewise. She could just kill me during the night, and viola victory for her. Unless of course she wanted to uphold her innocentish appearance, and not risk the chance of Kath voting differently.

I am inclined to believe that Rikae has a twisted evil role, as only baddies tend to want the day to end early.

Day Four Execution - Game Over

The three women stood there. Isabellkya, Kath, and Rikae.

Rikae and Kath stood there, eyes unerringly staring at Isabellkya, who was looking a little pale. Mist began to generate around her form, billowing outward until she was a pair of glowing eyes in a smoky shroud. When the mist dissapated, Isabellkya was nowhere to be seen.

"The spirit of Ireland herself, and we've driven her away..." Kath whispered. "But then that means..." Eyes wide, she turned to look at Rikae.

Rikae had unbound her hair. It fell in shining black waves to her knees. She smiled at Kath. "Human child, let me sing you a song."

She opened her mouth, and suddenly the source of all the mournful wailing was revealed. Rikae's song tugged at the heartstrings with talons of sorrow, remorse, guilt, all negative emotions. Kath's eyes overflowed with tears, and she struggled to speak, but couldn't. She dashed into the forest, dripping tears down her face. A scream resonated; she didn't come out.

Rikae smiled to herself, and crossed the moors into the distance.

Game Over

Rikae, the Banshee, takes first place.
The Innocents (Meneltarmacil, Durelin, Kath, Espiem, Thinlomien, Eolin) take second.
Isabellkya, the Spirit of Ireland, takes third.
The Werewolves (Nogrod, Brinniel) take fourth.

Good game, all.

Kath · 09-09-2007, 01:12 PM

You know what, I don't even mind that we Innocents lost in the end, 'cause that was such a fun game! All those secret roles appearing one by one and the endless speculation over how many wolves there were.

Plus, it was short in terms of the number of posts and that was nice, meant a lot less catching up!

Shasta, I loved your narrations. The deaths were great and the lynchings were just brilliant! Very nicely done.

Izzie - why oh why didn't you reveal exactly what you were! Revelations so utterly confuse me that you might actually have swayed my vote if you'd done so. But never mind, you did a marvellous job of staying under the radar.

Rikae - well, I've already told you on LJ that you had me completely fooled but I'll repeat it because coming out as the Weaver really was a stroke of genius. I can't believe no one refuted it, but then we did kill off Noggie early and he is our resident 'find the other way of looking at every single thing' guy.

Speaking of Noggie, and Brinniel - haha.

Sorry, but I'm just so happy that I have finally pegged not one wolf but two! Yes, blowing my own trumpet but I can hardly do it in the real world because everyone will look at me strangely. At least on here I can't SEE you rolling your eyes at me.

Everyone else was great too, I can't tell you how much fun I had playing with you all and I'm so looking forward to the next game now!

Congratulations to Rikae and Shasta, and well done to everyone else for making this a fun game.

Ask Cailín: I kept saying "But what if she is lying?" But Rikae played it well. Because chances were that she was telling the truth, we thought it might be somewhat outlandish to assume that she was lying.

I for one did not especially enjoy the setup of the game, the way that the roles were hidden and unexplained. Also, the way the banshee chose her victim nights before the actual event: this might be an interesting idea, but only if the players were told about it beforehand.

Special thanks to Cailín for providing that old Irish poetry and literature. I found it very hilarious.
