I think they mean Tam Lin. They already have the seven and we have to offer ourselves to replace them.

I have to bow out of this one.

Hopefully the rest of the game goes more smoothly for everyone.

Sorry you have to leave, Blaqueice!

I feel like there's some info that happens on Twitter that doesn't make it to the boards. I hate Twitter and hate using it so for those like me on here I'd like to catch people up on this info:

Twitter user Margret Williams is IG. She recently received a secret message from the Unholy written in ogham that was translated to meaning "mind is willing / soul remains / this woman cannot be saved." (They're lyrics from the song "Propane Nightmare" by Pendulum.)
If you want to contact her, her email is LiftyourselffromworldsbelowSPLATyahoo.com and her Skype username is Liftyourselffromworldsbelow. Her selected flower is the fennel, which means "strength or, as in Shakespeare's Hamlet, flattery and deceit."

The Unholy consider her the "heroine of this story" so my guess is she's in some other way important for them but is, presumably, not a teind since the Unholy still have the other 6 and Tam Lin is the only one who has escaped thus far. Perhaps our double agents would like to investigate more into this matter?

ETA: She may be connected to Child Ballad 74: Fair Margaret and Sweet William (Margaret sees William marry another woman and kills herself/dies. She haunts William and asks him whom he loves more, to which he says Margaret but when he tries to find her in the morning he learns she is dead and so he dies as well [noticing a trend here?].
Margret and William also appear in 77: Sweet William's Ghost, which is about a girl named Margret whose lover, William, returned from Scotland as a ghost. He asks that she free him from having to marry her (you know, since he's dead and all) and after some struggle she agrees whereupon he disappears and she promptly dies as well.

Lol, I thought Margret was a player not IG. I think it's weird that she was the one recommending me. She emailed me about that when I was wondering here, who had recommended me. She said that "I just gave them your name and I think they figured out the rest."
But all the rest that has happened makes sense if she's IG.

[inkflamewriter]

That's one of the signs that the PM is good about helping us with suspension of disbelief. She might just be a character that's "playing" like we are, thus allowing for the blurring of lines between player and character.

[bluesylvia]

Yeah, I DEFINITELY thought she had been a regular player too! But I thought it was weird she wasn't also on UF. When she got the ogham message and then started to deal out help in figuring it out the pieces started to fall into place for me. Still had to message Mrshomersimpson just to clarify that Margret wasn't just one of her buddies who mysteriously disliked joining forums though
Still, good job on the PM with that one.

I think it's strange, though, that she doesn't appear on the list of roles. She most definitely says on Twitter she chose fennel but perhaps the PM made a mistake and she is Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum instead (which would go along with her being a sacrifice at least). Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum, by the way, is better known as "oxeye daisy" and means "patience."

has anyone got any emails ? i sent one 2 days ago but no reply yet

[bluesylvia]

No, nothing for me. It's been very quiet the last couple of days...

[Mehetabel]

I'm in the same boat. Sent mail both to Summer and Winter, no response.

[Tenshi Akui]

Yup likewise not a thing.

[RAD24]

Just so everyone knows, Margaret literally just accepted my Skype request, so you guys may be getting replies soon. Her "about me" on there is "Mind is willing, the soul remains, this woman cannot be saved."

[bluesylvia]

New tweet from the Unholy for all you sacrifices out there:

[Elethamei]

I got an email from the Unholy Court. It's the same as the tweet, but just sent an hour earlier.
ETA: Got another one few hours ago. They're being difficult. Won't accept me as sacrifice

[Necropolitan]

i sent an email a couple of days ago as well and im still awaiting a response.
