M is Mira, as evidenced by context. Sorry for confusion.

Nienna · 03-19-2009, 09:31 PM

Mira my darling Stick the course of true love never did run smooth.

Just popping in to say goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.

Lariren Shadow · 03-19-2009, 09:34 PM

So either Nienna is Stick's lover or just wants to throw us off. I'm too tired to try to come up with which is better so I'm going to bed.

What? You were expecting something else?

Fortunately, maybe. It looks like there are clues. No telling if they will help us or not. Depends on the twisted-ness of Sally I suppose.

Maybe Mira wasn't a lover? Especially since the list has her as an ordo.

X'd since Lari's #359.

That may be, but she certainly has some connection with another player, given the narration.

Isabellkya · 03-19-2009, 09:47 PM

True.
It could've been an extra to her ordoness.
Since Legate's vote counted double when on a Cobbler or Duckie.

Though, we might find out toNight. Since it looks like the WereDucks knew of him.

Shastanis Althreduin · 03-19-2009, 09:47 PM

And shall I not attempt to find the perpetrators of the death of our lady fair?

Shastanis Althreduin · 03-19-2009, 09:49 PM

Sometime too hot, the eye of heav'n shines...

Shastanis Althreduin · 03-19-2009, 09:51 PM

How canst I compare thee to a summer's day, when his gold complexion is often dimmed! Dear William, dear William, thou mak'st not a lick o' the sense!

Shastanis Althreduin · 03-19-2009, 09:52 PM

Iago, Iago and the fair Desdemona... sonnets do not make peace with the number of ways I adore thee, Desdemona... Or even Kate the shrew! Kiss me, Kate, we'll be at thy family's abode Sunday!

Durelin · 03-19-2009, 10:01 PM

It certainly suggests she was a lover, but for some reason Hamlet didn't go down with her. Perhaps because of our ranger...? Or we simply don't have traditional lovers. If we do have the traditional lovers, a werecreature and a non-werecreature...if the wolves killed one of their packmate's lover...?

I guess it's probably a waste of time to speculate on it...unless Mira was lover to a werecreature and we can follow a trail to them...which I doubt. The trail part anyway.

We need to look a bit at why the wolves picked Mira, too, of course. Maybe I'll have time to go over her posts a bit before I go to bed, but I'm definitely not staying up as late as I did at the start of yesterDay...

A note about yesterDay - I guess the double vote thing was what Legate was experimenting with. Bleh.

(Edit: Crossed with many...mostly Shasta.)

A tisket, a tasket, a basket full of rye
I wonder, yes I do, what has caught Durelin's eye?

Durelin · 03-19-2009, 10:02 PM

Shasta is certainly Hamming it up.

Ok so I have to ask. For lovers if one dies the other dies? Or not? Because I thought it was if one gets killed by the wolves then the alive lover gets to have a revenge kill. Or is that just not the case?

Really to bed now.

That's how I thought lovers worked in previous games here...but that doesn't mean anything. It might well be the revenge thing in this game because we only have one lover down...if Mira was a lover.

Is this then sorta a warning maybe?

Shastanis Althreduin · 03-19-2009, 10:15 PM

But to my mind, — though I am native here
And to the manner born, — it is a custom
More honour'd in the breach than the observance.

...Or in the observance, rather than the breach, if thou tak'st my meaning.

Shastanis Althreduin · 03-19-2009, 10:17 PM

To one of you:

O, villain, villain, smiling, darned villain!
My tables, — meet it is I set it down,
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain.
