yea, I started scaling back my stories also for that reason. 2 paragraphs tops. I won't stop doing the stories though, it adds atmosphere that I really enjoy when I play these games.

I think its nice to set up the mood/atmosphere for folks to have a sense of setting. Not complaining mind you, just looking at how i can be more efficient with my personal time. As I said its fun to write em up. But I also dont think I'll ever do a Walking Dead one again. I just hate horror in general, and I hate writing horror. I just dont understand why people feel the need to be scared. Anyway...the whole concept of trying to scare and the zombie angle is actually disturbing; ie flesh ripping apart etc. Also there's only so many times I can write "x pierced the walkers skull with a blade" before it gets old. I think I've used a variation of that at least 30 times this game. So in all likelihood I am one and done with Walking Dead. I've been listening to an audio course on Medieval England lately, so I think if i did one in the future it would be based on that somewhere. Was thinking Robin hood or Richard the lionheart or perhaps the War of the Roses. Not sure yet. But also next time I do it, i'll get the write ups done months ahead of time if I choose to be as detailed as this.

Just an added part, probably the most difficult write ups to write were the first two days. There were just so many players and I wanted to give each one of them an action. Once the setting switched to the auto shop things became really smooth simply because i had time to plan out the following write ups.

so..... had no idea I was causing such angst...If i had known i would have stretched it out more! I held off trying to decide if it was the right move. I wanted to see if I could get a feeling on who the berserker was and as I mentioned in the thread, wanted to see if the wolves were trying to steer me into revealing myself and wasting a shot on a non berserker... Yes, I know any wolf shot would be good, but a berserker shot would be better... As for my questions to NC, the timing thing was just so I understood the rules on timing... If my shot would reset the clock, I saw no big issue to keep things moving along and then shoot at the last minute. hopefully to frustrate the wolves into getting annoyed and making a mistake. Halfway though my conversations with NC I had made up my mind to shoot RMC unless something compelling came up. I figured we might as well use all the time we had.... The longer you give people time to stew, the more likely they are to make a mistake... I also REALLY thought Vorret was the original Rick wit his comment on the missing message..That was just too direct on on the spot thinking... I also don't know why the wolves took me out.. As mentioned by someone earlier, I am still real new at this and they could have convinced me to help our downfall... Heck, except for defending Scoop and taking out RMC, and defending Steisser, my other posts were helpful for the wolves... I was going after Remus and was one of the few who did not put Archinerd up during the poll. Plus, once I cam off Remus, I helped take out Moliere.. Kind of an odd move I think.

Lassr - that picture, is that Carl grimes? And who's the gal to the left? it is Carl; Chandler Riggs. the girl is my daughter. She gets VIP tickets to Shaky Beats every year and every year she meets Chandler. She says he is super nice. That was the picture from this year's event. I couldn't find the one from last year. how does that work? Does she know him? Does she just happen to meet up? Does she bring cans of chocolate pudding and let him find her?

I think most of the angst was from you being new, in the end you did a superb job but not knowing if you knew what you were doing made us wonder if you understood your role completely. In the end you did and kudos. It worked out perfectly.

Ahh. OK then.. Yeah, any time I was unsure about something I made sure to ask. The big issue was knowing when to use it.. I thought about revealing and just asking the group but didn't want to tip my hand.. Waiting let the group speak out on their own so I could get some info.

So, looks like they just decided to kill me without any strategy involved... oh well. I think they should have thought it out more.. Also, why are is Archinerd scanning bb? Not sure I understand that ..

Not sure I understand that .. The wolves know eveyrone's role. There are no "hidden" roles anymore. No point in scanning. They've assumed that Stessier is glenn according to a previous scan. Rick/punisher is known, tdog is dead and so is Carl/el guapo. Nothing else for them to know. Their strategy i think was to put pressure on stessie rby lettin ghim live. And letting holman live is for shits and giggles i think.
