Well for that, Shasta, you don't get story time from the other night.

Hm. I shall have to ponder this.

You are the MVP for us in this game...

And I daresay you'll take full credit for my complete inability to properly participate? It's such a tactical advantage, you see. Such a glorious victory. All the best competitions are won against crippled adversaries. Do you gloat when you joust against the turbine of a windmill and it retreats, its back to the wind and to your sword?

Nope. Not at all. But I do take some credit from realising we could win if you didn't appear in the end of yesterDay... and being able to execute it.

I mean, about one hour before the DL yesterDay I was more or less sure that we had lost. And it looked totally grim, anyway I counted the numbers.

Until I realised that you hadn't posted the whole Day and started keeping my thumbs up you wouldn't... as without you it was actually possible to lynch Wilwa which I had thought impossible from the get go (well from after I had myself started to hint about her being Sam). So suddenly there was light in the end of a tunnel that had just been turning darker and darker however well we played...

Had I known that you were not participating I would agree with you. But without that knowledge we were actually just laying all our eggs to one basket and hoping for the best on the last minutes.

The gloriousness of our victory doesn't come so much from that though, but from the game mechanics which were really against us; the slowness of spiderlings turning, Sam having a capability to both ranger and heal, the loose rule of "you should not reveal" (which meant practically every goodie-role revealed) etc. And really: we had to outnumber you, the normal coming to the level in numbers was not enough...

All best competitions are won against overpowering adversaries - and you get to feel really happy when you find the weakness from there when things look desperate at the last hour... So yes, I feel like we deserve some gloating rights.

I'm quite sure I mentioned it in passing...

Most assuredly you have won, and well. I shan't deny you that. But I shall point out that I did say I wouldn't be around to vote, so you could have saved yourself needless concern about me showing up to ruin your mischief.

I take comfort in knowing that I pegged the two of you before it's too late.

On second thought, it is too late.

Lhunardawen · 05-14-2011, 07:55 PM

And I have to add: this has to be the most awkward end game situation I've ever been in. Not to mention the most hilarious.

We couldn't count on that, Fea. We were hoping you wouldn't show up, but what if you had?

Also Nog, you might want to credit the unexpected drop-outs for helping you win the game.
