La Tribune: Le OUAL vers Évreux, February 16, 2007

[sheila]

This edition is on the run... car pool beckons.

Early this morning, Shanna and Sandy stumbled out of Le Chateau (as is their norm) and were headed over to Nadine’s chocolate shop when they were met by the Cu-Biddies. The Cu-biddies dragged them into the shop and started beating them with chocolate. Nichole, (who may have been a little drunk, or may just be a little dim) ran over to the group. While some have said they thought she was running over in an effort to help Shanna and Sandy, there are others who are certain she was going over because she thought they were having a chocolate party. Death by Chocolate for all 3. The Cu-biddies then destroyed all the rest of the chocolate in the shop, which had just had the town’s delivery of chocolate, yelling, take that muthaf*%$&# :flippy:


Not long after the attack, the results of the town meeting were read. As the suspects Amanda and Shannon were brought to the front of the hall, all hell broke loose. The pair never really got a :airquote:trial:airquote:. They were just shot through the heart (and just about everything else) by many, many angry cupids.

[schwanda]

It was fun while it lasted! :lol:
Our fellow :airquote: bitchy :airquote: cupids will get ALL OF YOU! No more chocolate. No more flowers. Was it worth it???

Amanda

[stass]

Aren't you supposed to be :airquote:dead???
:booty: :lol:

[MamaGoofy]

:hopmad: I can't believe they destroyed the chocolate shop!!! I am just appalled...after all the kind things Nadine has done for them. Mean hearted cupids indeed. I am glad we shot them down!!!


2 more to go!!!!!:lynchmob: Let's get them :airquote: biddies:airquote: !!:lynchmob:

[Silke]

Not the chocolate shop. :raincloud

[schwanda]

Eh, dead is just a state of body.... :lol:

Amanda

[gulp!]

It was fun while it lasted! :lol:
Our fellow :airquote: bitchy :airquote: cupids will get ALL OF YOU!
Amanda

That will :airquote: NEVER :airquote: happen! :lynchmob:

[Nadine]

:( my chocolate shop .... and Shanna and Sandy gone :( :(

[Lyoshka]

I just KNEW it!!! I voted for you, Amanda, 3 of the 4 times!!! I knew you were up to no good :lol:

[Nadine]

I'll see you all in 1 or 2 days - shabbat shalom.

[Sandy]

Dang, I knew those :airquote: biddies :airquote: were on my tail.

But, death by chocolate? I could think of worse ways to go!!!!

Go get em, cupids!!!!!

[Jst1cin]

Not the Chocolate Shop....Where will we get our Chocolate now.

[Nichole]

I died, too?! :bawl: What did I ever do to anyone? I'm glad I at least got to be drunk before I died. :lol:

ETA: Wait, am I dead? My thing still says "lover." :scan:

[Nichole]

Oh, and all of you :airquote: non-believers :airquote: (you know who you are!), do you believe me now?!?! :booty:

:lol:

[Girlo]

Chocolate schmocolate. :devil:

I'll have fun watching you all sweat and squirm while our 2 other friends are out there being real :airquote: bitchy :airquote:. :giggle:

[Jayne]

Everyone is still saying LOVER. I am not sure who died and if we for sure caught two cu-biddies or not

[Silke]

Amanda surely is talking like she is one of them. :giggle:


Don't forget to put in your vote for today.

[Kristen]

I think it just hasn't been updated. I'm wondering if we are still continuing as last night's vote was supposed to be the last? I guess we wait for Sheila to log on.

[Silke]

I died, too?! :bawl: What did I ever do to anyone? I'm glad I at least got to be drunk before I died. :lol:

ETA: Wait, am I dead? My thing still says "lover." :scan:
at least it was a sweet death.

[Jayne]

I think it just hasn't been updated. I'm wondering if we are still continuing as last night's vote was supposed to be the last? I guess we wait for Sheila to log on.

YEs..she said we got another vote this afternoon! I think it has to be in by noon though!

[Stacey]

We decided that if y'all were going to get the chance to take out all of us, we should at least destroy all of your chocolate. I wanted to destroy more... and steal your men. :girl_devi

[MamaGoofy]

Wow!! Mean little biddie even past the end. :lol:

[Stacey]

I'm a little competitive. :shuffle: Can you imagine playing board games with me? :lol:

[Alysia]

:lol: I think it would be fun, Stacey!

[MamaGoofy]

I'm a little competitive. :shuffle: Can you imagine playing board games with me? :lol:

I am competitive as well. We would really have fun playing board games....like Monopoly. :lol:

[gulp!]

Oh, and all of you :airquote: non-believers :airquote: (you know who you are!), do you believe me now?!?! :booty:

:lol:

:giggle: :woot:

[MamaGoofy]

Have the extra votes been tallied??? Did we catch the remaining biddies???? :scan:

[Sandy]

I am thinking that Sheila has been busy w/ real life and just hasn't gotten a chance to change us from lovers to fighters.

Either that, or our libidos are such that they are controlling things and preventing us from making the switch.:intact:

Or, finally, we may just all be scared of Stacey. :lol:

[Nichole]

I just fixed those of us who were defeated this morning. We should all be fighters now. :)

I guess the :airquote: bitchy :airquote: cupids were scared of us eh, Sandy and Shanna? :lol:

[Lyoshka]

this is too much fun!

[Shanna]

I just fixed those of us who were defeated this morning. We should all be fighters now. :)

I guess the :airquote: bitchy :airquote: cupids were scared of us eh, Sandy and Shanna? :lol:

Yeah, it sucks to be so damn :airquote:smart:airquote:

[Sandy]

:lol2:

I am giggling like a schoolgirl in here. Never thought I would have so much fun on the otherside. Musta been b/c of all the fun we had last night on our way out. :pulp:

[Nichole]

I just want to state for the record that I am not dim! I was drunk on a chocolate rush. :giggle: Sorry for running over to you guys, though. My bad. :shuffle:

[MamaGoofy]

:lol: Nichole. You are to much!!! :lol2:
My comment doesn't make much sense now that Nicole has corrected herself...:shuffle:

[Girlo]

Hey......I wanna see the actual vote results!! I wanna see how many of you :airquote: cupids :airquote: voted for me. :lynchmob:

[Shanna]

Hey......I wanna see the actual vote results!! I wanna see how many of you :airquote: cupids :airquote: voted for me. :lynchmob:

I did :heee:

[MamaGoofy]

Hey......I wanna see the actual vote results!! I wanna see how many of you :airquote: cupids :airquote: voted for me. :lynchmob:

I voted for you you big ole meanie cupid!!!:lynchmob:

[Alysia]

I voted for you too, Shannon :heee:

[Nichole]

Sorry, Melissa! :heee: :lol:

I voted for you and Amanda, Shannon! :booty: At least I got to take two of you down before you got me! :girl_devi

[Darcy]

Wow Shannon. Two games in a row Sheila chose you to be evil. Aren't you the popular one. :lol:

[schwanda]

Yeah, it sucks to be so damn :airquote:smart:airquote:

Smart?!? Y'all didn't have a CLUE until yesterday. How does that make you smart???? :lol:

Amanda

[Alysia]

Smart?!? Y'all didn't have a CLUE until yesterday. How does that make you smart???? :lol:

Amanda

:snob: hmmmpphh!!

[Nichole]

I'm not claiming to be smart here, for the record. :lol: I was totally oblivious until someone else helped me see the pattern. I just passed the info around. :heee:

[Shanna]

Smart?!? Y'all didn't have a CLUE until yesterday. How does that make you smart???? :lol:

Amanda

I voted for you before yesterday ;)

[Lyoshka]

Smart?!? Y'all didn't have a CLUE until yesterday. How does that make you smart???? :lol:

Amanda not claiming any problem-solving abilities, but I did vote for you, chickie...3 times, I think... you just seemed....hmmmmm.....evilee?

[MamaGoofy]

Sorry, Melissa! :heee: :lol:

That's ok..I am used to talking out my ass. :lol2:

[MamaGoofy]

Smart?!? Y'all didn't have a CLUE until yesterday. How does that make you smart???? :lol:

Amanda

Look here you hateful cupid...go spread your evil doings somewhere else. :eviltongu

:giggle:

[gulp!]

I'm not claiming to be smart here, for the record. :lol: I was totally oblivious until someone else helped me see the pattern. I just passed the info around. :heee:

:wavey: :giggle:

Yeah, I have to give credit where credit is due- you biddies were pretty good at staying hidden until the patterns started emerging. :nod:

[Nichole]

Ok, she outed herself. I didn't want to out you Stef, in case there would be another biddy attack and you didn't want to be a victim. :lol:

[gulp!]

hey, at least I'd go down in a blaze of glory. :lol:

[tuesdayswife]

I suck at this game... I don't think I'll play again. I didn't see ANY patterns at all... :mope:

[Shanna]

I suck at this game... I don't think I'll play again. I didn't see ANY patterns at all... :mope:

:gimi::gimi: a break!! ;) How could you not :airquote:see:airquote: any :airquote:patterns:airquote: ? :giggle:

[Nichole]

hey, at least I'd go down in a blaze of glory. :lol:

That was my thinking yesterday, too. :lol:

[tuesdayswife]

:gimi::gimi: a break!! ;) How could you not :airquote:see:airquote: any :airquote:patterns:airquote: ? :giggle:

I guess I didn't have enough time to really devote to the game but now that you've :airquote: threw it in my face :airquote: I think I understand... I don't pick up on that stuff though. I just read and answer, read and answer, read and answer...

[Shanna]

I guess I didn't have enough time to really devote to the game but now that you've :airquote: threw it in my face :airquote: I think I understand... I don't pick up on that stuff though. I just read and answer, read and answer, read and answer...

:lol:
Just a bit of help from the heavens, since I'm dead and all :lol:

[tuesdayswife]

:lol: Thanks!!!

[MrsPeacefrog]

:wavey: Morning everyone.

It's great to see some biotches went down while I was in my slumber. Go mob!

Shannon and Amanda, I voted for you too :heee: Patterns were pointed out to me too, apparantly you had to be :airquote: smart :airquote: to notice them and obviously I am :airquote: not :airquote:


The untrusting me wanted to shoot the :airquote: messenger :airquote: for a few minutes, but it was only for a few minutes but the :airquote: believer :airquote: in me shone through :heee:

[Nichole]

Tsk, Deb. I'm shocked anyone would doubt my motives. :disbelief :giggle:

(however, it made me realize that a plot of that sort is just deliciously evil! [/mental note] :hehe: )

[MrsPeacefrog]

:devil: Well the doubt was seriously a compliment! :lol:

[sheila]

Sorry i haven't updated before now. Nice :airquote:guesses:airquote: this afternoon. Yuo got 'em.

[sheila]

I will be back when I can for the wrap up & debreifing.
Thanks for playing!

[Sandy]

Yea, kudos to Stef for figuring it out! :woot:

But, to be honest Deb, I had the same thoughts! I thought that it was a perfect set up b/c I was wondering how Stef/Nichole knew I wasn't one of the biddies!But, once I went back and looked at threads, it became quite clear that they were right!!!

For what it is worth - I probably never would have caught it if it hadn't been pointed out to me. I like that the "evil" participants have requirements, or what have you. Did the vampires also have the same type of restrictions?

[gulp!]

Sandy, I figured you were a safe bet b/c you didn't fit ANY of the clues.

[Nichole]

I think I was so stuck in the way the vampire game was played, where the big bads just acted bad or mean or whatever, so I didn't even think to look at patterns of smilie usage and things like that. :duh:

[Nichole]

Sandy, I figured you were a safe bet b/c you didn't fit ANY of the clues.

:nod:

Plus, there was very clear overlap with the :airquote: and :gimi: smilie users. Nobody else used the :gimi: besides those 5 people and they also all used the :airquote:s a lot (a few other people did too, but the cu-biddies were the only people who were in both lists). So it just looked too convincing to not be a coincidence. Then it became a matter of spreading a :secret: campaign to knock them all out. :girl_devi

[Silke]

I think I was so stuck in the way the vampire game was played, where the big bads just acted bad or mean or whatever, so I didn't even think to look at patterns of smilie usage and things like that. :duh:
Sheila mentioned the patterns right from the start but I was looking for clues like "no flowers" etc...who would have thought "smilies" :duh:...but going back it was obvious.

[Sandy]

Yea, I was looking at the flowers thing. Not smilie usage. I was trying to be all bitchy on my posts just to see what people would say, and everyone was STILL nice to me!! :lol:

What a good twist thrown in by Sheila! I am loving these games!!!

[Michele]

I have to say I voted for Amanda from the beginning too. I did b/c of Sheila's hint that there was a hint in the first Tribune...everyone jumped on the no flowers, but what stuck out to me was that they used Love Potion in the first "trial." I knew Amanda was the love potion gal. I contemplated seeing if anyone else picked up on it, but I wasn't sure who I could trust...

[Alysia]

ahhh.. good catch Michele!

[schwanda]

The love potion thing wasn't really a clue at all. The problem was that I wasn't allowed to sell or give chocolate or flowers. When Nadine PM'ed me to co-own a shop, it was going to be a bookstore. It was a big problem when she opened a chocolate shop without warning me. I needed to find something I could do that wasn't selling chocolate!
It really was fun being a bad guy! :lol:

Amanda

[sheila]

This is going to me so much harder for me next time. :lol:

[Michele]

damn, and I thought I was being smart! :lol:

[Shanna]

You did a great job, Sheila! It was alot of fun! I wasn't around for the vampire game, but this was fun!

[schwanda]

damn, and I thought I was being smart! :lol:

Oops. I didn't mean it that way!!! :lol:

I asked Sheila to give a clue that would at least make Sandy somewhat suspect! Oh well!!!!

Sheila did a great job with this game!

Amanda

[Sandy]

Oops. I didn't mean it that way!!! :lol:

I asked Sheila to give a clue that would at least make Sandy somewhat suspect! Oh well!!!!

Sheila did a great job with this game!

Amanda

Whug? Whatcha got against me? :bringit: :box:

[Melissa]

Thank you Sheila! Another great game!

[Alysia]

Sheila,

You did an awesome job! I really enjoyed the game!

[gulp!]

Michele, nice pickup! I was looking for something in that Tribune post, but was missing it. I honestly didn't put 2 and 2 together until I noticed Stacey use a :gimi:, and then I happened to see a bunch of the gals using it too. It was mostly coincidence.

[MamaGoofy]

Sheila this was a great game!!! I can't wait to play again!!! :gimi:

[stass]

I was suspicious of those who did :airquote: a lot and did vote for Girlo. But Sandy did the airquote a lot in my shop so I voted for her too. :dunno:

I was too scared to tell anyone for fear that they were going to vote me off. Oh well it was fun.

Yesterday when it looked like people were going to vote for me I was going to flee town and invite anyone else to do so so you could have a chance of finding a real biddie but luckily you figured it out while I was at work. :aok:

[Stacey]

Sheila, that's what I was thinking. It might be harder for you to come up with stuff next time now that people know what our "rules" were this time.

You did a great job though. I had lots of fun killing all the lovey-dovey people.

[schwanda]

Whug? Whatcha got against me? :bringit: :box:

I thought you were suspicious enough to divert attention away from me!!!

Amanda

[Kristen]

So did we figure out who was the last Cu-Biddies?

[gulp!]

Yes, Kristen- you and Sabrina were busted. :lol: Great job, though- you guys were sneaky good! The :gimi: and :airquote: smilies gave you away.

[schwanda]

Kristen was totally stealth girl!

Amanda

[Kristen]

Hehe, I figured, but I could find where we were named?

[gulp!]

Sheila hasn't posted it yet, but go back a page or two and you'll see she posted that 'we got 'em.'

[MrsPeacefrog]

I am just relieved it's over, I couldn't keep up with my insatiable lova anymore! Pierre you can fly back home! :lol:

[Alysia]

Deb! :lol2:

[AmyLynn]

You did a great job though. I had lots of fun killing all the lovey-dovey people.

I thought you killed us off for our lists? Or did you ax us first and then go after the lovas?

[MamaGoofy]

Deb I will always remember you and Pierre in LOvE...you two were like teenagers! :lol:

[Jean Luc]

Adieu mon amours! It was tres bon to, how you say, hang with you bitches? :brow:

Perhaps we will meet again some day....

[MrsPeacefrog]

:lol2: too bad I don't have the stamina of a teenager anymore :shuffle: OY, I think the fantasy of a lova is better than the reality! I am spent!

[Girlo]

This was tres fun!!! :yippee: I'm looking forward to the next one..... :devil:

Great job, Sheila!! :aok:

[sabrina]

But what I thought was funny is that with the clues I fit four of them and no one caught on. Eastern time zone, one son, child in 2002 and thread in the business directory. I figured that one would give me up quick. But hey, at least I got to hang on till the end.



Yes, Kristen- you and Sabrina were busted. :lol: Great job, though- you guys were sneaky good! The :gimi: and :airquote: smilies gave you away.

[schwanda]

I know Sabrina. I thought you'd get caught when Stacey did!

Amanda

[Melissa]

Sabrina, I don't know, I voted for you the last three votes :awink:

[Lynn]

Sabrina, I don't know, I voted for you the last three votes :awink:
I was chuckling that no one mentioned you in the subscriber business directory, and you were the one I thought of FIRST!

[sabrina]

But there weren't enough people who did vote each time to get me. But then I really need to close that thread because I won't be doing stuff any time soon due to other commitments, like home schooling. I knew the subscriber business clue would give Stacey up quick. I even said to the others that I figured I was going down with Stacey.

[LISA]

This was fun! Thanks Sheila and everyone else :)

[MamaGoofy]

Sabrina you weren't even on my radar. :silly:

[Sandy]

I was chuckling that no one mentioned you in the subscriber business directory, and you were the one I thought of FIRST!

Whug? How are you not going to help a fellow cupid out??? ::handbags: :lol2:

[Nadine]

:lol2: I didn't catch any of the clues.
And I think it is hillarious that I gave Amanda so much trouble with opening a chocolate store ... talk about being clueless (me) :)

Thanks Sheila and everyone for a fun game!
