Soap isn't edible! Cheating!

Also for anybody who wants to make their own self rising flour, just add like 2 tsp of baking powder for each cup of flour and mix it well. I never buy self rising flour because this works just fine

Also 10/10 the music completely added to the write up and made me feel like I had just fought god and won

HEY I DIDNT DO THAT ONE

so what happened with the plague?

 

[PippyPony]

Also 10/10 the music completely added to the write up and made me feel like I had just flight god and won

Let's pretend this is why it took me two hours even though Shorty wrote most of it

Short answer: AM healed you the night you got sick; otherwise it would have spread via your PMs. I can go into more detail tomorrow.

 

[vetmedhead]

Also I wish I had time to make scones but I was on an urgent care shift right until the deadline. Also it is not healthy for me to eat that many scones at once

 

[vetmedhead]

Nonsense, it was done precisely when I was checking thread and was therefore right on time

Tell that to AM...

PIPPY WAKE UP​

 

[supershorty]

Tell that to AM...

She also was demanding that I wake you up

 

[Trilt]

Also I wish I had time to make scones but I was on an urgent care shift right until the deadline. Also it is not healthy for me to eat that many scones at once

This is me.

I considered it. But then I'd have all those scones and I'm trying to lose weight...

 

[Lawpy]

Wait how does @DocEspana react to Barky stabbing LIS with Excalibur??

I WAS THE VECTOR. I had no contact with bread though lol

AM you champ.

[Barkley13]

Does Pepperidge Farm remember when I didn't blab my PRs to everyone for once in my damn life?

Genny’s first message to me was asking what was stolen from me and I immediately was like “lol Excalibur” and then later was like well I hope she’s village

 

[vetmedhead]

Tell that to AM...

I don't associate with side characters. I am the the protagonist of my own life baby and things are all lining up just for me

 

[vetmedhead]

This is me.

100% where I'm at right now lol. And this is why I haven't made the heavenly cinnamon rolls from the Snoop Dogg cookbook in over a year

 

[PippyPony]

So before I go to bed, here was the deal with the royals:

SAR, Bob, and Alley were female characters who were killed by LIS. If they had been attacked with the regular wolf kill or had been voted off (without samac + bread voting together), they would not have died on the first attempt. Although, Alley, you were weakened by the plague for night kills and Barks also tried to excalibur-kill you that same night, so you seemed destined to died anyways.

Alissa was weakened by the plague for day kills (vig shot + yeeting) and got shot during the day cycle.

 

[PippyPony]

And Barks' vote counted on D0 because at the time, she was Wart. Excalibur was activated that night.

 

[Crayola227]

I mean I had one for 2 days lol.
But Im mad LiS wouldn’t make a move on Dina. I watched her 3 nights in a row lol.

also, sorry if I’m a little extra mean tonight the ER has frustrated the **** out of me tonight and my god if I had to do er psych for a living I’d quit my job

Ah this might explain why he chose me

 

[samac]

Ah this might explain why he chose me

He didn’t know I could repeat targets lol

Mfw when people were yeeting LIS for being the only male royal

I was dying.

And was waiting for them to turn on you, because not only were you male, you were a knight in Cornwall (wicked sus per samac) and had been killing villagers with a sword

 

[samac]

I was dying.

I tried to yeet her yesterday lol

 

[PippyPony]

Speaking of yesterday, thank you everyone for your patience over the last two days. I was able to close out an important project today without worrying about the game, and I really appreciated everyone's flexibility -- and loved shorty's awesome idea for using the bake off as a placeholder 🙂

 

[Barkley13]

And you never even got to use that perfect picture!
And in my defense, I did attempt to kill a wolf once but my sword flew away

 

[samac]

And so uh next time I’m like “yeah I like power thanks for voting for me for mayor 😀” remind me of this game where EVERY TIME I PICKED A VILLAGER IN A TIE.

 

[PippyPony]

@genny probably should have stuck with the teapot-to-turtle plan but I encouraged her to get grabby.

Yes to this. Also, Civ V

Excellent work village. Definitely a contender for best village for this year's aWWards 😀

 

[DocEspana]

Um what? I'm confused about the genesis of this question.

Thanks for actually being vig lol

 

[WildZoo]

Thanks for actually being vig lol

I did keep imagining the look on your face if it turned out I was a wolf though. Pretty funny 😉

 

[Dinashadow]

Oh we won!

 

[LetItSnow]

Ah this might explain why he chose me

I don't remember if I did choose you.

Honestly, the single lesson I learned this game is: I don't have time to play.

Wolfing doesn't work if you can't pay attention. Villagering doesn't work super well, but at least you can sorta coast along doing your best.

 

[LetItSnow]

Cool theme, @PippyPony 🙂

Congrats, Village! Esp Barks, I think it was, who threw out a list of suspicions early in game that had, like, most of the wolves on it.

And for the record, @samac .... I didn't pocket you. You more or less pocketed yourself. 🙂 I just replied with the WW equivalent of a bunch of smiles and nods. 🙂

 

[PippyPony]

Village crushed it. I was so impressed!

 

[genny]

Genny’s first message to me was asking what was stolen from me and I immediately was like “lol Excalibur” and then later was like well I hope she’s village

To be fair, I already knew the answer to the question.

 

[PippyPony]

Yes to this. Also, Civ V

The song used in that theme is a hymn called I Vow To The My Country, set to the tune Thaxted by Gustav Holst. It was sung at the funerals of Winston Churchill and Princess Di. Edit: and Margaret Thatcher!

That and Jerusalem are my all-time favorite hymns, although I LOVE that Civ5 version because both the unison choral versions can get clunky/kind of plodding. But the tune itself is incredible.

 

[PippyPony]

I'll get superlatives, accolades, and the spreadsheet posted later today (actually a lot to compile for those) but I'm happy to answer any game questions in the meantime!

I also still owe some of you your role flair
I didn't forget, @SARdoghandler

Hey me too 😛

Why was I the only death on my death night? Did they hit a non-lady target that time?

 

[PippyPony]

Hey me too 😛

Yeah I think they targeted Cyndia or Dina with LIS's kill, iirc. You were the wolf kill.

The LIS kill was silent to attacked players unless it went through (it was halted high up in the OOO at the player metadata level and so was not trackable/watchable unless the player was killed).

 

[PippyPony]

And actually, follow up answer to that -- samac got notified of the failed attack on her on N3 (N4?) because that was LIS doing the regular wolf kill. She got a diminishing kill protection as part of her PM role, was at 75% chance of protection, and rolled a 3 on the 1d4.

 

[PippyPony]

Follow up follow up: there was no true protector in this game.

Wolves had the jailer & the kill avoidances, the village royals had their kill avoidances (but were almost all female characters), samac had her PM protection, genny could cast protego (which she did do) or cast expelliarmus, expecto patronum, vulnera sanatur, make mandrake potions, accio a bezoar, or make a portkey (which she didn't do), and dina's role had a chance of conferring night kill protection the night after a person was moved to Cornwall.

Will you add me to dead chat whenever you get the chance? 🙂

 

[BobLoblaw78]

Great game and great theme!!! Loved the British story influences and flair! It was cool getting to do the ones I knew well and get more familiar with the ones I didn't or had overlooked.

I can't remember, but whoever had the confuscious spell did amazing! That will be unforgettable (except for who did it) and had me rofl. I don't know how you did that so perfect and off the cuff. Good job!

I was for sure Samac was moriarty and going to turn on everyone at the end. whoops

Good job Pippy! Best WW game I've ever played!

 

[Barkley13]

So I thought samac said LIS was affected by the plague? Did that not actually happen?

 

[PippyPony]

He didn't get the plague

 

[PippyPony]

Will you add me to dead chat whenever you get the chance? 🙂

Dead chat is completely full beyond my capacity to add people. @Lupin21 is in there but I'm not sure if she's seen the PM/knows to add people because I didn't tag her outside of the chat.

any remaining player can be added whenever lupin gets a chance.

 

[Cyndia]

This was such a great game!!!!! I’m glad I tried to give pms a chance again because they really do make the game more fun, I need to keep that going in the future. Also the bake off in the middle probably made this my favorite WW ever we should totally do more bake-off things in another thread sometime! With slightly longer deadlines haha.

 

[Cyndia]

OH GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THE BAKING AND YOU SAID CYNDIA WON AND THOUGHT SHE WAS SOME FABULOUS 3RD PARTY LOL

Omg I laughed so hard at this imagining your momentary rage.

I wasn't totally sure how long I needed to keep it going lolol otherwise I probably would have done at least 24 hours for each challenge
