Me too. Seems appropriate, given our fight :). Unless someone beat me to it.
I’m going to be travelling for an hour or so now. See you on the other side…
**I have what I need (Hooker and Precambianmollusc were the first two responders).
Stand by.**
A lone man stands in the middle of a quiet village, holding a leather-bound diary. He holds it in the crook of his arm. For a long time, now, the diary has been quite dear to him. He considers the events of the day. The hanging of Dead Cat. The brutal murder of **snfaulkner **in the middle of the night.
He watches the huts for a long time, and then squints against the morning sunlight. Far in the distance, past the glittering waters of the pristine bay, he can just barely make out the sillohuete of a ship. He raises his eyebrows in silent, almost horrified anticipation. Little by little, moment by moment, that shape grows and becomes more defined. He stands very still indeed, and it is several hours before it becomes quiet apparent that the ship intends to come to the island itself.
“Rescue,” he murmurs, barely daring to form the word. Clutching the diary that much closer, he takes his first step towards the bay.
[spoiler]As HookerChemical leaves the ring of of huts for the last time, he fastidiously avoids looking down at the thing that was once Biotop. There is no entry in his diary about that final day, and it is likely there never will be. That, after all, is behind him. In the distance there is a ship, and on the beach there is a signal fire waiting to be lit.
Town victory! Precambrianmollusc chose to throw rock for the wolves, and was beaten by HookerChemical’s paper. I will post spoilery stuff in the companion thread.[/spoiler]
Good for you, town. Great playing, Biotop! Aroo!
Congratulations, Hooker! You deserved a win! Great game all!
Whew. Go town!
Time to step back and assess what happened. Forbidden thread, here I come.
Nice game Bio
And Good Game all-around.
Woohoo TOWN! I was right, for once!
Great game, Biotop. Even though we won, it feels more like we lost, since we never sniffed out the final Wolf. I am eager to hear the Scum tell their side!
Biotop, I salute you. Up until the end, I had you down as the last wolf but your last arguments convinced me that it was Dead Cat.
Scum’s side? I talked too much and got vig-killed early. Mahaloth lost track of time and outed himself. SP had too many serious problems in real life, so didn’t participate as much as he would have otherwise. It’s all about Biotop this game.
This game is so much more stressful as Scum. All the frustration I was expressing was valid. I wanted to keep up the same level of play, but real life intervened over and over.
I wanted to present a case against Biotop so bad, but didn’t think I was in a position where I could strategically. I even had an uncited/no quotes version drafted up before thinking that it would only be harmful.
I don’t think I’ll play the next game with quite this level of posting. I don’t think I could do it again. This is my slow time at work, so I can sneak in quick posts and do my big ones in the morning. I never could have managed during any other time of year.
And a big Scum Thank You to Johnny Bravo! I think you had an excellent run as Mod for your first game.
I second that!
Me either. I enjoyed concocting the phony “analysis”, but the time taken to do all this has been overwhelming. Often it was hours.
