Well, it took less time than it would to go back to find all the jokes every time I need a laugh.

Having now read a bit, I have been laughing and growling that the Fin(n)s of all people were calling me fishy all the time (my surname is a type of fish and Fishy was my dad's nickname in the army), and that you were so surprised that McCaber was a wolf.. not that I wasn't delighted to see that having been terrified by Kath's non appearance that she was in fact the last wolf, The deal with Boro was my best bet at self preservation and I am touched that he killed me when it would have been much easier for me if he hadn't.

The "Mummie loves you no matter what" to Nilp was simply even if he voted to lynch me as seemed possible.

For once, I thoroughly enjoyed being killed early on! Kuru - thanks for modding, this game was brilliant. My fellow corpses - thanks for the company. The living - thanks for the entertainment.

So Boro wasn't the Itch Man but I was the Itch Woman... oh my.

May I ask, Boro, why me? I am flattered but I'm not sure I should be.

I wanted to have a Successor picked early but it was basically a once chance shot. It would only work if I picked an ordo and if I didn't than that was it.

Not sure if you should be flattered or scared I know your WW habits...there was one post on Day 1 of yours that I said "yep...ordo Lommy"...and you were picking up suspicion so I wasn't worried about you getting night-killed early. Then on top of that the seer confirmed you innocent, so I figured if I was killed I had about as good of a chance at still winning as I did at making it all the way

Having been super-busy the last days I haven't been able to say thanks to everyone involved for a well re-awaken game. It was a lot of fun! A bit too much actually looking how it affected my sleeping hours...

With the Dead Thread it was nice to have everyone around for the whole game - that was perfectly fitting for a game of such many reunions and joining players one hadn't met in a long long time.



I'll make my special thanks in the Arda Cup style by dealing stars...


Three stars go to:

Nerwen for absolutely bold and superb seering - that was one of the best shows I've seen with all "these PM's you just got from somewhere"...

Boro for deadly accuracy and grace in the end with a role that was such an impossible one to play with this kind of flow of events.


Two stars go to:

Mac & Lottie: for being such good sports and fun fellows at the Dead Thread. It wouldn't have been half so much fun without you!


One star goes to:

the phantom & Aganzir: for keeping (especially) the Dead Thread going and providing a number of laughs and a bunch of smiles.

Lalaith & Shasta: for playing their roles in an impressive fashion.


And the joker-trophy of course goes to:

Kuru: for the most confusing game-idea that seemed like an impossibility to start with but which after all turned out to be both playable and enjoyable. *bows*

This mostly makes me sad my once infallible bororadar has fallen rather out of order in the past couple of years. I was getting very mixed signals this time, and at least that makes sense in retrospect...

I'm actually not very sad I never got to inherit your legacy. To be quite honest it sounds more like stress than fun.
