Just screams evil.

I think my favorite PM moment to Di (who I was frequently contacting with frantic questions) was probably, after being told that Nog "is completely ordinary and rather a bit lonely":

I have a question. Am I allowed to blatantly lie to the village about the nature of my role?

I was delighted. I got to conniving. I had to wait for a moment when I could put forth my ridiculous claims. I didn't know at that point that the Lovers knew my role existed, so I was constantly threatened by the idea that if I got the village to trust me, the Lovers would kill me (and my lover).

Of course I eventually asked Di if the Lovers knew there were cobblers around and she said yes. Load off my shoulders. I could work on the village without having to incorporate Lover-friendly provisos.

I had to decide on how to use my dreams. I'm glad I made one choice I did- I was going to lie about Nog but I changed my mind and pretended I never dreamed of Agan. I could sacrifice her later if need be, 'admitting' that I lied about not dreaming of her to keep her safe. It was a toss up which one of them I wanted to hang on to for later manipulation: if I'd chosen to call Nog anything but innocent, Brinn would have found me out much sooner.

Brinniel, by the way, drove me insane!

I thought she was a Lover. A few Nights ago I PMed Di saying I wanted to dream of whoever it was because I wasn't too concerned- I already knew Eomer was my Lover and I was quite certain Brinn and Gollum were Lovers.

Epic fail...

So then I reveal with great theatrics and many unnecessary augmentations to the nature of my role, and she, my presumed Lover, is trying to kill me!

I kept thinking that she must not understand that I'm on her side. Kept thinking, well maybe she's just taking advantage of the revealed Cobbler to gain credibility later. I thought, well, I'm on the Lovers' side no matter what schemes they come up with, so I didn't try all that hard to stop her once it was obvious she wasn't going to budge.

So false-seer. I'd never heard of this. I was delighted that my arch-nemesis was all but providing me with a chance to 'redeem' myself by playing dumb. Is it possible I wasn't told I'm a false seer? How does the role work? Might Brinn be a false seer?

I legitimately was confused, not to mention distracted- it was at that moment when I was watching the election (fingers crossed) and my mom called to tell me my grandfather had been hospitalized again and my student loans were still uncertain because of a hospital error.

False seer? Bring it on.

Except how could I possibly hold onto the little credibility I'd gained when the village was trying to kill my Lover? I couldn't defend him...

Tragic...

Really, though... Amazing game.

My favorite moment was probably the morning Aganzir didn't die when I turned to my room mate with a horrified expression and said, "Kel... I think I might secretly be saving people when I dream about them."

"Does that role exist?" she asked.

"I don't know!" I moaned. "What if she didn't tell me and I'm actually helping the village win?"



The drama greatly appealed to me.
