Right, that's two irrevocable votes for Inzil. One more and I shall follow suit, which will wrap things up nicely.

Hehe. You really don't give up do you, Nog. You seriously expect us to have gone through all of this only to throw it away at the last minute? You might as well ask a Seer not to dream, a Wolf not to kill, a Ranger not to guard or a Cobbler not to ... er ... Cobble. We are Lovers. We love - ourselves - to the exclusion of all other considerations. That's what we do.

I know you're a ranger and all, but that makes it all the more fun to lynch you.


And Noggie, do you really think the lovers would sacrifice themselves just to save you? You might as well just give it up already and accept you've lost.

If we could have [easily] saved him and won, you know... we totally would have.

But we're more important than him.

Oh, and we also like things to be as easy as possible.

By the way, it is Nogrod who's the wolf, not me.

All that apparent begging on behalf of the village he did up there was to make sure you weren't planning a double-cross. Clever.

To My Snookums:

The moment I wake up,
Before I put on my makeup,
I think of how much I love you.
While plotting our coup now,
And simpering all over you now,
I think of how much I love you

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart,
and I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part;
Oh, Sauce, I love you!
Together, forever, that's how it must be:
To live without you
Would only mean vengeance for me.

I vote to lynch Inzil,
Cementing our choice who to kill;
I tell the world that I love you.
Deadline I just take time
And all through my post I put rhymes;
I write little love poems for you.

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part.
Oh, Sauce, I'll love you!
Together, forever, that's how it must be:
To live without you
Would only mean vengeance for me.

I tell the world that I love you...

Oh, Saucepan Man, how I love you...

My darling believe me,
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too...
And I'm in love with you...
Answer my prayer now, babe...

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part.
Oh, how I'll love you!
Together, forever, that's how it must be:
To live without you
Would only mean vengeance for me!

Love you for adding that!

I actually thought it was a gift from heaven to realise that if there was to be such a scenario (I being innocent) the remaining winner would have been actually myself, alive probably with one of the lost lovers... So making it clear - and slightly bragging for it was meant to turn your eyes away from that road if you even considered trying to help the innocents... or for better negotiating conditions toMorrow...

Upon gaining permission from the moddess to post from beyond the grave I bring you this. Also, the original.


Lo! 'Tis an awful Day
Upon the Barrow Downs, you see
A lover pair, Sauce and his dame
As well as werewolves three
The rest of them are trapped, alas
Despite their urgent pleas
While lovers both dark bargains pass
With those who on them feed

The Moddess Ni is stricken dumb
As she hears ordos cry
While Mira is having fun
Mere mod gods they, whose is to sigh
And tally the votes that have come
As all the villagers have to die
Moddesses these must both keep mum
Oh me, oh Ni, oh my!

The ranger drama oh be sure
It shall not be forgot!
When dear Sally tried to come to aid
Of a group that trusted not
Through a lynching that ever sealed her doom
With the werewolves' plot
And then went Lottie (brave Inzil too?)
Yet lovers remain on the top

But there among the ordos' angst
Three fur-clad shapes come in
All ready to devour their flanks
As well as their knees and shins
They laugh, they feast, they kill poor Ner
The one who's not their kin
And Nienna sobs at Brinniel's fur
As well as Roa and Finn

Out! Out are all the votes, cast all!
And Inzildun has he the most
The curtain, the village falls
Though the moddesses have yet to post
While the lovers still refuse to bend
The rest of the village gets hosed
And so the game known as Werewolf ends
With its victors as Fea and Sauce

Where it began? It began in a PM,
And then we knew it would grow strong.
It was just the thing,
And Good became Lite-Evil.
I couldn't believe you'd come along!

Hands, reaching out, to the wolves,
Trusting me, trusting you...
Oh, sweet Saucepan Man,
Werewolf never seem so good...
I've been inclined to believe it never would!

And now I, I look at the Night,
And it don't seem dangerous.
We fill it up with only two
(And the werewolves).
Worry runs off my shoulder
How can I fear when Loving you?

Oh us, reaching out, to the wolves,
Trusting me, trusting you...
Oh, sweet Saucepan Man...
Werewolf never seem so good.
I've been inclined to believe it never would!

Ohhh, sweet Saucepan Man, winning never seemed so good...

The mods, they rule the world.
Players rise when they give the word.
Now in the morning they set the tone,
Watching the game they totally own.

Ni got to roll the dice,
Feel the fear in all the players' eyes,
Listen as the Village sings
"The Moddess is God, but the Co-Mod is king!"

She watches expectantly
And the Day ends epically,
And she discovers that her players stand
With a turn of events that Lovers planned.

She hears the End of Day bells a ringing,
Player Parody choirs are singing,
The players to die cannot be healed,
Accepting the ending that fate had dealed.

For some reason I can't explain,
Once I play there is never
Never an honest word.
And that was when Ni ruled the world.

It was the wicked and wild Lovers,
Blew down the Good to let Bad take cover,
Shattered windows and the sound of drums:
People couldn't believe what they'd become.

Revolutionaries wait
For their heads on a silver plate.
Good guys puppets on a lonely string.
The Lovers or Nienna as king?

She hears the End of Day bells a ringing,
Player Parody choirs are singing,
The players to die cannot be healed,
Accepting the ending that fate had dealed.

For some reason I can't explain,
Once I play there is never
Never an honest word.
And that was when Ni ruled the world.

She hears the End of Day bells a ringing,
Player Parody choirs are singing,
The players to die cannot be healed,
Accepting the ending that fate had dealed.

For some reason I can't explain,
Once I play there is never
Never an honest word.
And that was when Ni ruled the world.
(But Mira was still God.)

Yeah, but Sally, I was told on very short notice (ie: upon commencement of the prior parody) that Moddes-Ni required a parody FOR HER directed AT HER.

And the options that sprang to mind were Viva la Vida and Be a Man.

Which would have been very meta. Ie:

"BE A MOD! YOU MUST BE SMART AS THE AWESOME KELLY! BE A MOD! WITH ALL THE FORCE OF HER GLASSES GLARE! BE A MOD! WITH ALL THE STRENGTH NEEDED TO WEDGE FIVE POUNDS OF CLAY, AND THROW IT ON THE WHEEL IN CERAMICS ROOOOOOOOM!!!"

*giggles* Fair enough. I did mine really quickly too, but I wasn't commanded to do it, so that of course helps.



Meta-game! Fea dies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



ETA: Happy 2,400 posts to me! Yay!

So it ended Bollywood-style?

Great play lovers!

And thanks to my stupenduosly cool mates in crime!

We have actually anticipated this moment to be wolves together for years - Roa and me - and were ready to stage a real show as the probability of the seer dreaming at least one of us early on was quite big. But then we got lucky and there was no need for it...

We were actually incredibly lucky in the first few Days...

And Greenie actually helped us I think being the one to come up with this Roa and Nog are wolves theory and then being revealed to be the cobbler...

So bad Inzil and Nerwen, you had it quite rough in the end. I tried to imagine how you feel to play the innocent in the end - and I almost got angry for your situation...

And great theme, well organised, unforgettable game dear Moddesses-Goddesses... and everyone else for making this game such a great one!

Werewolf is fun.


Okay, off to work now.

Also, Mira at least expressed interest in reading the Lover PMs. Sauce has them on file. I'm sure he'll oblige once he's awake and around.
