Well, in modern literature no word ever begins with a capital Ð. I've always though ð is more of a buzzing sound, while þ is more of a whistle. I think it depends on wheþer you put the tip of your tongue in front of or behind your teeth.

Anyway, I doubt the mechanics were that great. They were frustrating, harsh and difficult to figure out.

Thanks for killing me Panda

DO NOT REVEAL MECHANICS PLEASE.  TOO MUCH LOVE TO NEVER RUN AGAIN.

... Sorry, other post pending.  Felt a need to write that.

Harsh, frustrating, and difficult to figure out? Precisely what we need when we're up against one scum!

I think it'd be great if you ran it again. At the very least, I enjoyed it a good deal (even though I was about to lead a witch hunt on Vector).

[Vector]

Oh, are you bloody serious?  If there's another round of this, I am inning INCREDIBLY HARD.  Man... well, let's just say that I'm crazy about this one and found it to be lots of fun.  Compared with KWN:DE, there was just the right number of hints to figure out how things work.

Damn.  So much love.


As far as ð and þ go, this is what I was talking about:

The letter thorn was used for writing Old English very early on, like ð; but, unlike ð, it remained in common usage through most of the Middle English period. A thorn with the ascender crossed was a popular abbreviation for the word that. Even though Old English had the two sounds distinguished in speech[,] in written texts the two letters were often regarded as equivalent to each other.

So, your initial spelling was correct.  The two linguistics-oriented people who spoke to me about this in years past must have been tainted by modern IPA, the fools >_>


And yeah, AN, I know I was acting incredibly funky by the end.  Turned out that I was wrong in my second guess WRT the game mechanics, but right about my first... oh, well.  Heh.  Heheheheh.

I don't care if the mechanic was glorious, I WANNA KNOW IT GODDAMMIT! Just cause.

poll added..? Actually, let's do this mafia-style. That lets me get the important votes.

Also, I am not going to say any more than I already have about whether you're barking up wrong trees or not.

[RedWarrior0]

You can PM it to me.

[CobaltKobold]

Oh. Good point. Bars you from participating in future though. (*pms)

[Vector]

Why not just tell those who want to know via PM or QuickTopic or something, so that those of us who really want to play can do so?  I think you'd get enough for another game, if you ran it in a while, especially because the crops of noobs continue to be fairly large.  I mean... the flavortext integration actually worked in this one.  We had scumhunting + flavoring going on.

The only thing I'd really want changed was the day-end mechanic, since "days end once everyone has posted" (if that's what it was) leads to seriously shafting active towns.  There's surely got to be some other, better way to do it.

...

</wheedling plea>

Also, ninja'd.

[Leafsnail]

I kinda want you to rerun it so I can /in.

Now, I wonder what Pandar's advantage was... ah well, no good if he got lynched the old fashioned way, I guess.

Yeah, I'm vaguely shocked that I managed to catch him.  I almost flopped onto Neruz at the end, too >_>

Emeralds are grue.

You restack the stones on the three bodies, relieved to have gotten rid of the menace...for now. But Pandarsenic's body you place in a heap of firewood, and ignite it, beginning a bonfire, fearful of him rising again.

... Great, now I'm going to take hours figuring that one out.


EDIT: Never mind, message probably received.  Of course, now I've been horribly WIFOM'd... but I think I've figured out what you meant.  Your current mechanic is very good.

[Pandarsenic]

Wait, wait a minute....

[CobaltKobold]

Grue riddle. (Not the zork grue.)

anyway, anyone else want a CC on the rules?
