As you all can now tell, I wasn't just quiet in public, I didn't say a whole lot in private either! I could never think of long complicated pieces of logic, so I generally just agreed or disagreed with what people said. I was telling the truth in my post where I said that I had no idea why anyone would want to kill Oddwen -- My inbox was full so I missed most of the PMs where it was decided that we would kill her!

Mithalwen · 07-10-2005, 11:25 AM

Nothing personal, Oro but I was quite dissappointed that they didn't get you... I had such interesting ideas for snuffing out your persona....

Would you believe that I already have several deaths outlined for WWVI? Should Lhuna die, it's planned, as is it for LMP, Eomer, and Firefoot. The deaths are versitile enough to be used in nearly any possible situations. I also have my own death written. That's got to be the most interesting thing to think about...

PS: I just got the most fantastic idea, should Nilp die.

Orominuialwen · 07-10-2005, 11:31 AM

Me too. If it looked like I was going to die, I was going to PM you and ask if you could somehow include a penny whistle in my demise. I taught myself to play a little over a week ago and it would've reminded me terribly of Murder, Must Advertise, which is probably my favorite Dorothy Sayers book.

By the way, Fea and Kitanna, who were you supposed to be? You were the only ones I (or members of my family) couldn't figure out.

It's a shame that I never got to post the folowing:

So perfect. I don't know why I didn't use it against Kath.

I love how you planned to frame me right from the beginning. I love how I was central to the plans too.

I'm gonna choose a quote for my siggy some time soon.

Oh, and I found it funny when you referred to my "experience" and "skill"... I've been in one game before, and I was killed on the first Night. Very flattered though.

Kath · 07-10-2005, 11:35 AM

I loved the characterisation in the game, especially at the beginning when people put clues in their post so you could work it out. Holby's post including the names was great!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-10-2005, 11:37 AM

Ah, but TGWBS, you moderated a game, which gives you a level of insight that the rest of us didn't have. Even if it's not true, I knew we could hint at it and scare people into believing us.

And Oro, I was Rachel Sexton from Dan Brown's Deception Point. The introduction Mith used for me was the same Brown used for her in the first chapter. She's an FBI "gister" and daughter of a senator who gets caught up in a huge plot (that I won't reveal) that's centered around a big meteor found in the Arctic.

Orominuialwen · 07-10-2005, 11:53 AM

Thanks. I've never read the book (an neither had anyone in my family) so I couldn't figure it out. I seemed to confuse quite a few people with my characterization (with the exception of Mith, who is a fan of the books he's from). I was Lord Peter Wimsey, from the wonderful books from the '20's and '30's by Dorothy Sayers. Yes, his middle name is really Death, and yes it really does rhyme with 'teeth'!

Kitanna · 07-10-2005, 12:34 PM

Oro,
I was Stephanie Plum from Janet Evanovich's series. She's just a bumbling bounty hunter.

I am afraid they suffered by being ones I didn't know (I was ready for someone to be Robert LAngdon though having read the Da VInci Code and Angels and Demons (curiously over easter ... so I am afraid I took an extra interest in the Papal Conclave... and was consulting the map in the book to work out which building was which). As Racehl says I managed to find the first pages of deception point on line which I ripped off, and I did find some Stephanie Plum which inconsiderately did not provide a handy description. The best I could do was to let the sugar plums fall from her pocket with the scrying glass.

I was so sorry when SpM backed out - I was going to beg him to be Inspector Morse. And I was disappointed that noone chose Jessica Fletcher.... though it was Holby's reserve. Cadfael would have been interesting.... As some downers know I do have a bit of an excessive interest in detective fiction/TV, criminal psychology and forensics .... I am sure the people at the library think I am planning the perfect crime ....

Mithalwen · 07-10-2005, 01:20 PM

By the way did anyone but Esty "get" the shower option for Gil's return?

And Oro - I am flattered it turned in to a family activity....

I'm sorry

. I didn't mean to spoil the fun. I didn't start out that way except when I was thinking about TGWBS, I said out loud The Gut Who Be Short, The Guy Who Be Scooby-Doo and well I went on from there. But those were the only ones I got.

And it was The Phantom's fault for my attempted suicide!! I am now ingrained with the 'betterment of the village'. LOL- Even when he's not here he influences!!

Lhunardawen · 07-10-2005, 10:40 PM

I was supposed to be a werewolf, but I backed out. Good job, Fea! And morm and Oro, too!

Orominuialwen · 07-11-2005, 02:33 PM

My brother helped me quite a lot on this game. If he's around when I'm posting, then he usually reads over my shoulder, and sometimes I ask for his advice. He's a member here, although he rarely ventures outside of The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread. His name here is High King Fingolfin. I had my mom come and help me figure out some of the characterizations that I couldn't get in the beginning, too.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-11-2005, 03:40 PM

Ooh, I know all about brother interference. By the last day of the game, Keeper of Dol Goldur had read up to the end and said to me "You've got LMP pegged, right?" "Yes... why?" "Because he's a wolf." "How can you tell?" "I just can." It was fantastic that I was right, but really annoying that he was.

What should be interesting is the actions and reactions of Nilp and Lhuna in Game 6. It's one thing to have a sibling reading over your shoulder, but it's quite another to finally live out a childhood dream and mercilessly lynch your sib.

Can't say as I'm surprised. Too methodical? Too careful? Too unhelpful? What was it?

*evil grin*

But believe it or not, Nilp will probably love me all the more if I help lynch him. So to take it one step higher, I'll initiate the move to lynch him.

Even easier: you didn't die.

As for Keeper... I haven't got the faintest idea. I've lived with him for just short of 18 years and I still have no clue what he's talking about most of the time.
