Reactions! Rosalie Dylas (Maddy) Going to the festival with Morgaine would be very boringMorgaine says ‘scuse you. PFA "Wait— hey! Get back here!" Charles protested, hurrying after Joffery as he pranced into the crowd to finish his musical number.And then they ran off to hang out with Grace and Dimitri. Coaster worst of all, a depiction of 'Woo as some semi-aquatic mammal with a beak and a large, flat tail;”XD I kind of want to know who is worshiping platypus Woo. Tiger There came a point like this in every string of people-heavy, highly-diplomatic affairs, when the pressure started to feel like a physical weight and Leif could see his breaking point coming like a needle pointed at his eye... Leif tried to focus on what he was supposed to be doing - he really did. He tried to shut out the music and the chatter and the people he had to constantly navigate around and the stalls and stands and the people manning them all vying for attention”Not sure if you’d solidified his magical aspergers yet at this point, but if not this comment rings pretty close to how that is later described. Interesting to note. XD Oh and of course Leif!Crush. Is adorable. Rosalie Dylas (Maddy) Elcie Celestial she suddenly throw herself around Xavier's waist, "You can't take him he has to find my key! And pay for it, the damages, and my distress!"
She held on tighter to his waist, "You are very huggable. But enough of that look for my key!"Just. Just this entire exchange.

Here’s a question I’ve been meaning to ask for a while... but what is the history of Woo/Wooism?
I once thought that originated with Medieval but I’ve been getting the sense that it actually predates this?

If I'm not mistaken, it originates from Mafia 3— Celestial had a nun character, but she didn't want to reference a real religion, so Wooism became a thing. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though, lol.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong though, lol. No, pretty much spot on there. Since I had a lesbian nun character who drank, swore, openly flirted and ran her own booze smuggling ring, I didn't want her to be associated with any real religion in case someone got offended. So off the cuff, she became a "Wooist". The meat on the religion was added on in Medieval thought, with Tiger putting down a lot of its canon, like woocifixes and Wooist festivals, among other things.

Some of the canon credit should also go to Avery and icon, and PFA and Shinko as well, to be fair - talismans are a coordinator creation, and while I'm not 100% on who first referenced the Books of Woo (...maybe Dan?) I know it wasn't me. Mostly I organized things and wound up in a position to set up some things about priests and churches XD ...The NTWFRP Wiki article on Wooism actually looks to be spoiler-free if you want to know more about it (obviously be careful following any links XD ) - ntwfrps.wikia.com/wiki/Wooism

Chapter 8 was where my secondary character finally joined the plot, so avatar update time! I'm not sure how many people are caught up, so I won't spoil too much about him, but his name is Sieg, he's Morgaine's son, and he was fun to write. =D Fullsize image.

DANG HECK I'm behind *reads more posts* Oh joy, this is the round with the Briar interrogation! What a wonderfully happy exchange 8D Celestial Avery Hooray for Sieg's arrival \ o / Shinko Sieg's a cool guy even with early character syndrome I haven't said it in a while but I love Aldrich and the statues Lizica So this scene was literally the embodiment of "waiting for the other shoe to drop" but I don't remember if I was trying to foreshadow something in particular, or if it was a red herring, or idk lol it was appropriate though because of what's coming up next HAHA

More reactions. \o/ I did not do any for the festival round because I read that in bits and pieces, and there was not much to talk about (except the cuteness that Killix and Tiger were weaving. I was smiling so hard reading that) but this has give me more thought. Tiger and Shinko Ooh, so this is the round in which Morgaine and Leif properly interacted. =D I am always excited to see how relationships which become a big part of the characters start, and it seems somehow appropriate for these two to meet in a church, given they are both from Corvus and I cannot imagine they would have any other reason to really interact (at least, at first), given their opposing personalities and ranks in life. Lizica, aside from really enjoying the Aldrich and Lucinda collab, which was so sweet and lovely, this quote from it struck me especially "Just because you give something a starting point doesn’t make you the sole author of its paths. To make such an assumption would be to negate what makes the life wonderful in the first place.” I have always found it really profound, and I love that Aldrich learned that from his experience. Come to think of it, I imagine that's why he cares for the rest of his sculptures, despite the trouble they cause him. me and Avery I really should not have enjoyed the Briar and Alain interactions as much as I did, given what they were. >> I did feel bad, but it was also interesting to see what Alain would do given the circumstances and what his limits were. I am still kinda proud of this writing. Even though I realise it does darken his morals a bit, but that was always the intention. Good is not nice or soft. @myself again "He had been Grand Duke for thirty years, fought against Lange twice, quelled a few uprisings in Bern, one major, and dealt with the political games of all the nobles of Kyth and beyond. That taught you a few things." *crying because I have expanded upon every single one of these events now.* T_T Avery Hahaha, Jorcey and the CEREEES thing. This will end so well. 8D; Shinko SIEG. \o/ It is good to see him now. Though lol, I had forgotten how formally he spoke during his early days. Also, speaking of relationships which turn out to be important, first meeting between Leif and Sieg. =D Liou xDDD I had forgotten that Laurie directed Joffrey ( PFA) towards Karma. Sneaky, Laurie. Also, aww, I had forgotten it was Laurie who Ambrose asked to take to the Shadows, but the fact that they were so willing is sweet. Despite initial first impressions (Which were game mechanics anyway) I like Laurie and Ambrose's relationship. \*stares long and hard at that short narrator post Avery and icon* You know, you both are utterly evil and now I totally understand why you sent out notifications of our actions one after the other. YOU PLANNED IT. Pixie Ooh, Frederick. I did enjoy his exchanges with Kirin, now and later (even the really creepy, terrible ones) but I had forgotten it was after Fred got pushed away by Xavier. Rebound much? xD Elcie Gelquie ELIVIER MONSTER COLLAB AAAAH. *shoves their faces together* NOW KISS...and discuss sad things about alliances and hit me in the feels with your adorableness, that's okay too. ;_; But you should have kissed... @myself again, ooh, the Stallionbros confrontation. That was both really satisfying and heartbreaking to write. Especially since the goderators were teasing a death and I had no idea if this was how they were going to leave it off. It would have been sad. Also, lol, me, good job foreshadowing...not. >> (I do have an explanation for why that book is there: Alain did not like keeping it in the castle, so he had it shipped off to Medieville.) Lizzie Hello Wuzzles! I don't think he had appeared before. =D Also, I am eternally sad we did not get to see the aftermath of Joffrey and Karma's meeting. Overall impression is that, if Round 5 was the round where the game's tone settled, this is the round where everything was set up for the finale. I suppose if it was a novel, it would be the end of Act 2. I say this for one major reason, which should be clear if the round is read (specifically one post made by an Icon at the end).

I remain staunchly unrepentant and maintain that the chapter nine intro was the best grift that team Goderator pulled in the entirety of this game, don't @ meI can't remember if Avery and i ever provided full context for the circumstances that led to this stroke of brilliance? Have some director's commentary (spoilers, as always, under the cut) Previously, on Medieval...
Alright so as I had mentioned before, both of the House factions had discovered their Tier Four Major Action (AKA the way to kill another character, mechanically). There was a really nice mechanics parallelism between the Archmage and the Inventor that ended up working well from a mechanical perspective—both groups discovered their tier four major action the same round, and we wanted to raise the stakes for everyone. The two actions were mechanically equivalent (the team could use the action to kill off one character, eliminating their actions for the rest of the game, but it was the ONLY move that faction could perform that evening).
Neither group knew the exact mechanic of the other, but there were enough context clues for each to realize the other had some kind of powerful action up their sleeve. Tension! Keep in mind now: this above bit of quoted commentary came up during round six of the game; both houses have been sitting on this action for two entire rounds, trying to figure out whether it's worth it to risk using this move and run the danger of cementing the enmity between Stallion and Jade, mechanically and in-fiction And as Goderators, it's maybe the tiniest bit disappointing? From our perspective 1, it's like we're like "hey kids, have some fun cake" and the kids are like "hmmmmmm but do we want this cake if it comes at the expense of the other players" and the two of us are like "um well it is at the expense of the other players but also you are competing with these other players because this is a contest and it will get you points so don't feel bad about it" but everyone is still sitting on their hands hemming and hawing and boo-hooing, oh no we can't sink to this level of morality as our characters (1lightly dramatized for effect)So anyways, Avery and I are like "well nobody is going to actually act on this, how can we still make this round interesting" and then we stumbled upon the notion of killing off an NPC and telling people that a character would be dying this round in order to build up anxiety And the thing is, truth be told I still can't believe people bought into it as much as they didIn hindsight i kind of feel like we laid the drama on even a little bit too thick? The choice to start the top of chapter 9 with a dramatic "No, this cannot be, someone is dead" and then cut to black, forcing people to read through the entirety of our several-page textwall, was an absolutely devious move and I will credit Avery with that one wholly. I can't remember which of us made the leap from "we should off this one minor NPC" to "we should off this one minor NPC's pet snake and treat it with the utmost ceremony" to "we should off his pet snake but also off him, but leave him in the dirt" but it was a stroke of absolute comedy And people's reactions spanned all the way across the board. Woo on par, I wish that i had screenshots of that moment. The outrage was absolutely palpable. I suppose all of this to say that hey, if y'all had actually used the tier four major action you might have saved yourself some minor stress over this intro, but at the same time you would have missed out on the best out-of-fiction game moment of people's reactions to this prank. It was funny as heck. If we had to do it again i wouldn't change a thing. [in memory of Felicity… 1303 - 1314. may you rest in peace and Lord Melvin in you in peace]

Following the above, I do want to offer a player's perspective. We (as in, players in House Stallion) seriously considered using the killing move, since we had a high point quest to kill the Heir and knew who it was from very early round. Every round, quite literally, we debated about whether this was the round we were going to use it. Funnily enough, it was Kristy who was the biggest advocate of killing the heir. Killix, IIRC ( Killix , correct me if I'm wrong) was against it. I was on the fence. Basically, it went like this for us: In the end, we decided against it. Admittedly, a lot of it was due to the fact that a lot of us had grown attached to the characters. Another reason was that it was just not a tactically sound decision to be the first person to demonstrate that you are okay with killing and have the other two factions gang up on you to make sure you do not do it. We all knew we could kill each other. So cold war tactics it was. Then the goderators show up all shiny and happy in the middle of this and say there is going to be a murder. Everyone loses it. We were all convinced that we were the faction to be targetted. xD In hindsight, we should have suspected something was up when we realised we could not figure out who it was actually going to be, as everyone was equally freaked out (flashback to talking to GLQ over Skype with both of us going "yep, pretty sure it's us"). The goderators were a little bit too gleeful, but we knew they were bloodthirsty so we figured yeah, they'd be excited if someone was going to die. I spent the whole week having to content with a furious Alain in my brain planning his revenge. >> It was mildly stressful. When the revelation hit...yep, there was screaming. I do wish Carricon had taken screenshots so we could show you, but it was a combination of relief and anger at them for playing us so, so hard. I am still a little salty about this years from the event. And yet...yep, I'd have done the exact same thing in their place. So *massive slow clap for Carrie and Icon* You two are mad genuises, and now you understand why Carricon the in-universe god demands BLOOD.

I forgot I had this, so I'm uploading them for all y'all who are asking for screencaps or wondering what shenanigans went on in the main (non-faction-specific) Medieval Skype chat while all this was happening, which includes the game from start to just after the end (and also aside from like, the very first couple minutes before everyone was finished getting invited into the chat). The second Medieval skypechat, alas, does not have timestamps because I had to do some extra database finagling to get it readable and didn't have an Excel license which would have made it easy to translate the timestamps (but if you want to copy-paste and put it online one at a time to fix it, be my guest). The files are too big to upload directly on the NTWF as an attachment so here are links to both. 8D Keep in mind that the contents, especially later on, are extremely spoilery; if you'd like, you can cross-reference Skypelog timestamps with RP-post timestamps to see around what time everything was going on. There's also a lot of general banter, of course, and Mafia III spoilers, and speculation regarding the Sci-Fi RP that was slated to happen a while after (but did not, alas).

[2014-07-15 2:59:29 PM] Liou the Kraken: Seriously, now that we have Thomas, Melvin in a python, and Travis performing at the funeral, can you imagine if on top of that, King Garrick arrived and danced on the coffin? My life would be made. [2014-07-15 2:59:43 PM] Anna /Celestial: Everyone's life would be made. [2014-07-15 2:59:55 PM] Liou the Kraken: Eternal bliss.

More reactions, since it is another slow day for me. xD This is for a good chunk of round 9, though not all of it. As usual, beware of later game spoilers. Rosalie Dylas (Maddy) and Shinko Aww, I had forgotten that Rosie was initially jealous of Morgaine having family besides herself. Poor Rosie. But Sieg is utterly adorable with her, and with his jokes, his dorky personality has definitely shone through here. x3 Speaking of, Shinko, I forgot how much I loved that collab with Morgaine and Alain. Heck, I love their dynamic overall. It's amazing how much respect he has for her. Avery Ah, this post, where we first get introduced to Malik. What a charming fellow. It is such an under-rated wham post and yet, I love it. RIP Kelcey. Lizzie and PFA Eeee, so we do get to see how the meeting between Karma and Joff went. =D I had forgotten completely! That was actually quite cute, aside from Karma telling Joff how pretty his eyes were. Wuzzles makes everything better. Ginz ❤ Aww, Corinne. She is sweet, despite her drunkenness, and it is funny that it takes Davo, of all people, to bring that out of her. icon and Avery I was not prepared for the feels contained within that Destiney and Aines collab. I wonder if this is soon around the time you decided Desi's fate so you began working on humanizing her? Because wow, she is revealing some amazing hidden depths right here. I like it. PFA "But sitting around in Marson's house doing nothing was boring." *Takes a drink for Jeniver being bored* At least this time she does something about it by virtue of sneaking out. I am sure Charles would be delighted to know. =P Elcie, Avery "... and finally, Lord Duval, one of King Malik's oldest, loyalest, and most trusted friends." *immature giggles* "Friend". ;D Pixie and Killix, oh, hello Fred and Kirin collab. I will never not feel bad for Kirin during this, he does get it rough. Fred here is also at his creepiest and most ruthless. I love it. Good on Kirin for resisting like he did (though Alain says it is no surprise at all) Coaster The Marsons were such amazing characters, I am sad we do not get more as their musical number is great. I am also very sorry for making Alain walk right past them but he is a jerk like that. He probably thought he had more important things to do...which he did but still, rude. Tiger Ayleth's nickname for Kirin -"Shinyfeathers" - is brilliant and I am sad I had forgotten that. Also eeee, yes, this is the Kireif healing round. Leif's awkwardness at needing to remove Kirin's shirt was especially adorable. Also his prior awkwardness before Ayleth found him. It is very relatable, as somebody who constantly second-guesses their words. Killix, Kirin being flustered after finding himself in Leif's arms was also super cute. Why are these two so cute? Liou Okay, first the song parody and then Laurie creepily swooning over Alain...there was a reason I adored this post then and I still do. xD Alain is still just as creeped out and a touch flattered by it as he was before. Gelquie and Sporty (though I don't know if I should tag, since she's not been around) that was actually one of the hardest posts I ever had to reply to. There was a lot to unpack, and a lot of good points. But it was also seriously impressive how much you said and a nice insight into Shadow ideology (even if I personally don't agree with some of it, but that's just me.) Pixie and Lizzie, Karma and Ilaria and the puke-coloured hair. xDD Goodness, that was a wonderful interaction. Both were great, as is expected. I don't have any deeper comments, but this made me smile.
