And rightly so! Thanks, thanks, thanks for a great death scene! I was panting with excitement reading this. Awesome job!
And good luck to all my fellow innocents! I can't wait to watch the end of this...

At the last minute, though, Eönwë cast the deciding vote for Inziladun.

Did he indeed? I thought Eönwe's vote was after deadline and didn't count?
Last time I looked, it was Nerwen who brought Inzil up to 2 votes together with Shasta and me. Please clarify!

Mnemosyne · 07-23-2009, 04:27 PM

Eonwe voted for Inziladun at 1901 GMT just before I posted the deadline post, but then deleted it about thirty seconds afterward (even though it would have counted, per my rules posted above). Since reposting that vote would have occurred after the deadline, I decided not to count the vote.

The narration reflects in a gamely fashion some of the confusions that resulted.

So toMorrow if you want to address the whole issue, in-game you should address Eonwe's reluctance to kill and not a deleted vote.

So, recapitulation:

In the narration, Eonwe's vote counted. In the actual game, it didn't. This fact was borne out in the narration by Eonwe's reluctance to kill Inziladun and Inziladun's subsequent outburst.

Hope that clarifies all the confusions.

I don't really like the narration, though it's nothing to do with Mnemosyne's writing skills. Maybe I'm just bitter for getting killed trying to tell a story, as we were asked to as per the theme of this game in the first place?

Thanks a heap.
