XD Yeah...epic but of the fail sort.... It would have to be done on purpose....*covers Val's ears* Let's! XD


Valerian

Tomorrow will be exactly one week since the voting began for this round.  Please get your votes in soon!

I realize we can't have an eleven-way tie anymore, but it's still very close, and every vote counts.

Sorry for the delay -- I was without power for much of Friday, and also without internet afterwards, even once the electricity was sorted out, so I'm still playing catch-up.  *sigh*  But hopefully we can find a steadier pace now.

Night roles, please send in your choices!   :D

Only one antagonist left?!  Dammit!  If this ends too early, you must run this theme again.  I love it! :D

Marguerite

-Nods-

I am all for it considering Imogen was one of the people who voted for moi.

That Girl Analise

Well. I should start getting mt thread up... If this trend continues, this one is going to end sooner than planned. Anyone else want in? Link to the planning is in my Signature, click the shakespeare quote. Now to go find what I've already written and go post up stuffs.

And Val- Please do run this one again! This looks like it's going WAY too fast.

Kendra

wicked theme altogether - still trying to guess who every one is and obviously clueless but tis great fun all the same ;)

Valerian

I don't know if that counts as epic... but it was certainly fun to write.  :)

And I think that's the shortest game ever, though at least there was a lot packed into those few rounds...

Beguile's Mistress

Holy crap!  They got blood all over my beautiful frock!  Men!  Can't live with them can dispatch them to Hades either.

That game went way too fast!

That Girl Analise

... Wtf.

H'ok. I'll finish setting up this weekend and start my game on monday. JEEZE, this was a short game. Well played.

And can I just say, i'm proud of myself this game? Beguile's was my next day vote. Meaning I was going to vote for antagonists two of the days. I didn't suspect kyrsa, but I was kinda responsible for her death :D

Ryven

What in the hell?!@$  God dammit!  I want to know who everyone was though!!  >:(

Beguile's Mistress

I was Rebecca, the first Mrs. de Winter, from Daphne du Maurier's novel "Rebecca."

She was dead, of course, by the start of the story but she made no less of an impact for that.

Ryven

Interesting.  I was John Taylor from Simon R. Green's Nightside series.


Remiel

I don't know if I should be offended or flattered that everyone wants to kill me.  >:(

Still, it was fun being Captain Sparrow, if only for a little bit.

Valerian, I demand that you must run this theme again.

FoamWeber

Awesome theme and awesome game ^^ I didn't miss too too much, apparently XD.

Well, I was guessed correctly.  Roland Deschain, The Gunslinger, from Stephen King's The Dark Tower series.

That Girl Analise

For those of you that didn't see the post regarding the early reveal of my character, I was Luna Lovegood (though I don't feel I did her justice, bleh) from Harry Potter. (though, in hindsight, Hermione would have been a better choice, considering we're in a library. Ah, well.)

Valerian

*bows to Remiel's demands*

And other people's demands.  I'll run the theme again a little later on, once Analise's game starts winding down.  So everyone can ponder new characters.  ;D

Here's the play by play, which, short as it is, is still fascinating:

Day one:
Marguerite, a Protagonist, is lynched.

Night one:
The Antagonists target FoamWeber, a Protagonist.
The Detective investigates Imogen, an Antagonist.
The Matchmaker makes FoamWeber and Kyrsa the Lovers.
The Guardian protects himself.

Day two:
Imogen, an Antagonist, is lynched.

Night two:
The Antagonist targets Remiel, the Guardian.
The Detective investigates That Girl Analise, the Matchmaker.
The Guardian protects himself.
The Alchemist targets Beguile's Mistress, an Antagonist.

I've never seen that particular situation with the Cupid role, and probably never will again.  When I realized what had happened, I spent several seconds blinking at the screen in amazement.  Heh.  But all the good luck was with the Protagonists, and all the bad with the Antagonists, so not a very long game, unfortunately.  Still, I'm glad you all enjoyed it, and I'm sure the next one will be longer.  :)




And here, in no particular order, is the cast list with characters and special roles, as applicable:

That Girl Analise - Luna Lovegood (Matchmaker)

FoamWeber - Miss Marple

Remiel - Jack Sparrow (Brave Soldier)

Remiel

I think I figured out Leo was Quartermain and Analise was Luna, but sadly, that's all I did.

Beguile's Mistress

There wasn't enough time for many of the characters to be developed.

Marguerite

I think we all were waiting for more development before people being knocked off.
