Also dead and sent to Tech Duinn is

Spoiler: Stagg

@Stagg737 , Niamh, who could talk to Oisin once they found each other, but would die the next day if they were separated by death or roster movement

The Luchthonn rounded on the last pair of warriors.
​

@vetmedhead let out a deafening otherworldly bean sí shriek, bringing the remaining lover to his knees as he clasped his hands over his ears and writhed in pain from the magic. "YOU DARE DEFY THE WAIL OF DEATH?!!??!!!?!!?" She blasted Oisin, @StayingPositive2017, with a jet of eerie blue-green sound waves until there was nothing left of the heartbroken man.

The once-kind hearted Pooka had had a change of heart since being charmed by the queen of the Aos Si, @cubsrule4e. @Dinashadow cornered the small, wily Leprechaun, @WildZoo. "Come out from behind that rainbow and play, eh? You have no more gold and no more lives left, and I can follow you wherever you run." The little leprechaun looked sadly up at the rainbow overhead one last time as the Pooka charged him and trampled his tiny frame.

The Luchthonn looked at each other and grinned. There was no stopping them now.

Winning the game are the

With thanks to those who blew the wind, And those who sailed the ship,
We sailed it tight against the tide, And I shall be forever in your debt.
All the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now, I can't recall

So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all!

~Superlatives~
​

​

Most questions asked about potato use ~and~ most night actions submitted - @StayingPositive2017

Spoiler: Potato Economics

Have I earned any gold?

So this pair of potatoes =2 potatoes=4 gold? Can I split it up?

136, member: 868770"]How long do my tators stay good? Could they increase in value during a famine?

Can I pay three coins to unlock the ??? After my name in pm?

Am I an autorez?

Will you tell me what happens if I eat one?

Can I try to convince Mel to give me his salmon with the coercion gold?

Spoiler: Even her contingencies have contingencies

contingency listen to AM

Ride Embarr

oops
contingency ride Embarr

Contingency listen to the wind harder.
Contingency finish endocrine scavenger hunt
Contingency find fionn (Dad)
Contingency ride Embarr
Contingency continue hoarding potatoes and mah gold

Most off-the-charts bull$hit in PMs and on the thread - @vetmedhead , who somehow managed to convince multiple people that:
- yes, her role name indicated she was a ghost of death
- yes, her role name did sound very much like the double kill in the write ups
- yes, she did kill a villager. (But it was an accident, she swears!)



Most sacrilegious ideas about how to use a Treasure item - @Stagg737




Most out-of-nowhere fake role claim idea - @cubsrule4e

Im about to role claim Leanan Sidhe: Fairy-Lover. If I could seduce 3 people (4 people?) I would know if there was a bad heart among them.

Sound any kind of realistic?

Most village indignation over being ability swapped - @Lawper



Most polite and villagey encouragement of the use of items - @mypetmoose



Sketchiest ability - @dolphin106258



Worst? Best? fake Irish accent posting restriction - @WildZoo, who might still be auditioning for My Fair Lady



Most likely to die early in a Pippy game - @Barkley13 RIP



Fastest drinker of sketchy ass fairy mead - @Dinashadow



Most excitedly chatty wolf - @grebes4lyfe

y'all are so quiet. how am i supposed to use this game as a procrastination tool if nobody else talks

Best nooblet use of tracking - @Doggo Labs , who successfully tracked Cubs killing AND delivering his convert-mead


Oh no! Placeholder for Mutts, whose naughtiest night results superlative I forgot

MOST VALUABLE DEAD PLAYERS TURNED CO-MODS, who literally were dropped into my spreadsheet of death and left to run full cycles of this game with virtually no help from me

@Animal Midwife @Melchizedek ​

 

[JustPaws]

damnit VMH i should a outed you

 

[Lawpy]

Why does @vetmedhead love to kill me? 😢

In Dogs, wolf meaty killed the Lawpy. And here, wolf meaty likely killed the Lawpy again. 😢😢😢

 

[Stagg737]

damnit VMH i should a outed you

I'm also super pissed that I didn't stick with my early feels on her. She had moved all the way up to my second or third most wolfy at one point and I talked myself out of it (and then she talked her way out of it more in PMs, well done @vetmedhead , I'll never trust you again, lol).

Super happy you weren't the convert though. You would have earned your spot as my new D1 lynch vote, lol.

 

[Lawpy]

When was @Dinashadow converted?

 

[Stagg737]

When was @Dinashadow converted?

I'm curious about this too. Weird choice for a convert since she would have been my first choice for lynch had I been sure we were convert hunting...

 

[Lawpy]

Please update the TOC when you get the time @PippyPony ☕

 

[Barkley13]

When was @Dinashadow converted?

Probably the day with the large poem in red and in English lol

 

[vetmedhead]

omg
omg
omg

everyone I was a wolf and managed to not ruin everything at the last second!!!!!

 

[PippyPony]

When was @Dinashadow converted?

Probably the day with the large poem in red and in English lol

Dina was converted the night that there was a giant poem about the apocalypse in the night write up, by the same poet and in the same exact font as the poem that came with the sketchy ass fairy mead that was getting passed around

(Am I bitter that no one reads my write ups at all? Noooooo of course not.)

 

[vetmedhead]

Why does @vetmedhead love to kill me? 😢

In Dogs, wolf meaty killed the Lawpy. And here, wolf meaty likely killed the Lawpy again. 😢😢😢

it was the most convenient, I had to screech somebody on thread during the day in order to kill them that night so I tended to do people who I was already talking with or who wouldn't be suspicious about being sent memes or other weird formatting on thread. You fit both bills at the time and also hinted at being a power role so it was an easy choice

 

[Lawpy]

Probably the day with the large poem in red and in English lol

Dina was converted the night that there was a giant poem about the apocalypse in the night write up, by the same poet and in the same exact font as the poem that came with the sketchy ass fairy mead that was getting passed around

So she got converted N5? Crap, that means village Dina swapped my ability in N4 😢😢

 

[sheltermed]

wow i am very surprised that vmh was a wolf 🙄

 

[PippyPony]

Please update the TOC when you get the time @PippyPony ☕

Gonna be low on the to-do list, sorry

Edit...done, almost a year later

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

wow i am very surprised that vmh was a wolf 🙄

I feel like it was pretty obvious lol. Same with cubs.

 

[sheltermed]

I feel like it was pretty obvious lol. Same with cubs.

oh absolutely. me and my indefensible play tho right

 

[vetmedhead]

I'm also super pissed that I didn't stick with my early feels on her. She had moved all the way up to my second or third most wolfy at one point and I talked myself out of it (and then she talked her way out of it more in PMs, well done @vetmedhead , I'll never trust you again, lol).

Super happy you weren't the convert though. You would have earned your spot as my new D1 lynch vote, lol.

omg please kill me early, I hate being around in games this long lol

okay so real talk

I thought I was going to be lynched SUPER EARLY because my ability is very conspicuous and also a kill ability

so when I even made it that far I was appalled, so when you asked me to role reveal I figured "Eh, the jig is up, but I have to try, so I might as well make something up and see what happens"

and then you were just like "... Cool. Moving on then."

and I thought you were doing something sneaky behind the scenes to nail me on thread

so when paws told me to out myself on thread I thought the jig was REALLY up and almost wolf bragged, but again went with "Eh, the jig is up, so I might as well continue with what I made up and see what happens"

and everyone was still like "... Cool. Moving on then."

and I was like

 

[vetmedhead]

oh absolutely. me and my indefensible play tho right

that comment was a very honest one and something to consider for your play in future games. Just my 2 cents

 

[Stagg737]

(Am I bitter that no one reads my write ups at all? Noooooo of course not.)

I read your write-up but had no idea what you were trying to say, if anything relevant at all, as the other poems seemed just wonky. So I just assumed it meant something bad was happening (like maybe lylo).

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

Yeah the writeup wasn't clear at all to me lol. and I think it makes it tough on people when they are delayed

what was vmh's ability? I don't get that necessarily. was it like Mel's except wolf?

 

[cubsrule4e]

that comment was a very honest one and something to consider for your play in future games. Just my 2 cents

And now we release all the wolf chat memes from last night lmao

 

[mypetmoose]

Lol if you had wolf bragged things wouldda been super different

omg please kill me early, I hate being around in games this long lol

We could only convert people I got to drink the mead, which was Dubz and Dina. And everyone said dubz would be pissed and hadnt been around anyway. So dina was the only choice

 

[PippyPony]

Ah.

This must be how Yeats felt when people told him his poetry was too esoteric to be understood

 

[Stagg737]

oh absolutely. me and my indefensible play tho right

If you can't see why your play came across as ridiculously sketchy idk what to tell you. I didn't vote for you in the end but I would have felt completely justified doing so.

I feel like it was pretty obvious lol. Same with cubs.

How so? VCA is pretty village for her imo, as it's ridiculous to think that all 3 remaining wolves voted for Shelter on D6 (and were the only ones not to vote off Cubs) and also for her to bus Grebes before she was going down. Unless you've found a tell VMH was not obvious imo.

 

[vetmedhead]

And now we release all the wolf chat memes from last night lmao

a third of which were about my anxiety, another third about how I didn't understand what was going on because I was playing terribly, and the last third about how funny I thought it was that everyone felt it was village to accidentally kill mel

 

[PippyPony]

Yeah the writeup wasn't clear at all to me lol. and I think it makes it tough on people when they are delayed

...yeah no.

what was vmh's ability? I don't get that necessarily. was it like Mel's except wolf?

It was very similar to Mel's, except vmh's screech had to be more noticeable, could only be on one player per day, and the extra kill had to be used immediately. I thought the bribery mechanism and the whole village affiliation thing would check Mel from killing indiscriminately.

 

[Barkley13]

I’m just hurt that I was lynched completely by villagers

 

[cubsrule4e]

The mel ones are what I was going for lol... that and the "We just killed the seer" one

 

[vetmedhead]

Yeah the writeup wasn't clear at all to me lol. and I think it makes it tough on people when they are delayed

what was vmh's ability? I don't get that necessarily. was it like Mel's except wolf?

I think it was basically mel's ability but wolf - I think the main difference was I think I had to be more conspicuous about my screeches on thread? Either that or I interpreted my instructions in a very extra way

If you can't see why your play came across as ridiculously sketchy idk what to tell you. I didn't vote for you in the end but I would have felt completely justified doing so.

I personally don't think I was playing that well this game - I really think doubling down on my ridiculous claim with confidence is what saved me at the last second

that and I kept forgetting who was in my wolf pack, which is why I voted with them so much lol

 

[sheltermed]

If you can't see why your play came across as ridiculously sketchy idk what to tell you. I didn't vote for you in the end but I would have felt completely justified doing so.

keep ****ting on me please it's definitely necessary

I 100% know why my play was sketchy and I had said so. I explained why and if you still think I don't understand why idk what to tell you

 

[mypetmoose]

I'm still shook I made it so far. These wolves had me fooled

 

[Barkley13]

I really think doubling down on my ridiculous claim with confidence is what saved me at the last second

In dead chat I was just like hey that's a pretty cool ability if it's true

 

[Stagg737]

the last third about how funny I thought it was that everyone felt it was village to accidentally kill mel

Well I mean, that's totally a village thing to do, lol.

 

[Barkley13]

I'm still shook I made it so far. These wolves had me fooled

I really liked your idea for everyone to use cloaks!!

 

[mypetmoose]

I should have saved mine for this past night and bluffed the night before...

I really liked your idea for everyone to use cloaks!!

 

[mypetmoose]

What happened with the no kill night anyways?

 

[JustPaws]

more conspicuous about my screeches on thread?

I don't understand what these were on thread, can you quote one?

 

[Dinashadow]

So she got converted N5? Crap, that means village Dina swapped my ability in N4 😢😢

Sorry Lawpy. I was trying to clear you as either wolf or village

We could only convert people I got to drink the mead, which was Dubz and Dina. And everyone said dubz would be pissed and hadnt been around anyway. So dina was the only choice

And you're very welcome

What happened with the no kill night anyways?

We tried to kill dubz and stagg but stagg had bought a cloak and dubz had some sort of protection

 

[Stagg737]

Dina freaked out when she realized we had done this

Turned out to be a really good move, I saw that and thought "no way wolves would do that". Should take a lesson from myself on that one 😕

keep ****ting on me please it's definitely necessary

I 100% know why my play was sketchy and I had said so. I explained why and if you still think I don't understand why idk what to tell you

Sigh. Not trying to crap on you. The amount of resistance to everything said was and is frustrating though. I get that it's frustrating to be falsely accused, but you've said in the past that people always find you sketchy and then get pissed off when people point out why. Legitimately was just trying to help, sorry if it's not coming across that way.

 

[Stagg737]

We tried to kill dubz and stagg but stagg had bought a cloak and dubz had some sort of protection

Ah, so there was an attack on me. I didn't get any notifications about it, so I was going to try and bluff and pretend like I still had one and hadn't used it. Glad it wouldn't have made a difference, lol.

 

[Dinashadow]

Turned out to be a really good move, I saw that and thought "no way wolves would do that". Should take a lesson from myself on that one 😕

I was hoping it would turn out this way, though I was ready to drive the bus right over cubs.

 

[vetmedhead]

The mel ones are what I was going for lol... that and the "We just killed the seer" one

I'll just post them all on here in a second lol

In dead chat I was just like hey that's a pretty cool ability if it's true

I told pips that I'm stealing this ability from myself later lol

Well I mean, that's totally a village thing to do, lol.

he told me he hated me in wolf chat because everyone thought it was village to kill him lmao

It was pretty obvious to me. But that's much easier to say as someone not playing the game and not influenced as much by what people are saying.

It's a combo of things. I would've put it between her and dubs yesterday but seeing as how dubs claimed she was attacked and no one else did I took this more seriously. I think shelter made some mistakes but she seemed very village to me, esp since no one really even tried defending her.

A big giveaway for vmh imo is that she used her cloak the night before but no one tried to kill her the next night. Wolves would've known that she was defenseless and likely tried to kill her, thinking everyone else was protected, if she wasn't a wolf, lol.

Her play and posts were super wolfy. Leaving for hours at a time and not responding to people for long amounts of time. And the grebes lynch and say after were very important imo. I couldn't believe village didn't lynch him the next day immediately lol.
