But I did that...and it just changed the post title, not the thread title.

Nogrod 05-13-2007 02:38 PM

It's just looking too much like fun! I hate to be forced not to play because of my travels... :(

Enjoy the game everyone!

I'll be following the turns of the game though, as far as it's possible there.

Rune Son of Bjarne 05-13-2007 02:40 PM

Get a grip Nogrod. . .there will be plenty of other games for you to play, now enjoy your travels or I shall send Orlando Bloom after you! ;)

Where's your commitment man? There will be cybercafes everywhere and you don't want to waste your time lying on a beach do you? ;)

No need to threaten me that harshly my friend! :D

And sorry if you got the wrong feeling from my post. I'm indeed planning to enjoy the philosophy Olympiads where I'm going to partake as a coach for the Finnish team (and one of the many judges who evaluate the essays written there). I'm looking forwards to a pretty interesting week beside the Mediterranian sea... :D

(You know, in Finland it's a little over 10 degrees celsius and the spring is just waiting to actually come forwards while there it will be +30 with the turqoise sea all around...)

Mithalwen 05-13-2007 02:55 PM

The sea sounds more appealing than the Solent ... but why spoil it with thinking?

As the Critical perspectives(nearest I ever got to Philosophy) tutor said to my class "Why are we here in this classroom? Why aren't we on the beach with a bottle of wine?"

:p

No I do not. I'm the last person you could drag to lie idly on a hot beach just for the presumed fun of it... as there is no fun in that to my view. That's no bussiness for humans... :)

But maby a cozy little tavern in the shadows of a palm- or olivetree, some smooth wine and a nice palate of fresh Mediterranian meze around shared with interesting new acquaintances... :cool:

I seem to have answered your question already! :D

Mithalwen 05-13-2007 03:03 PM

Only problem was he did insist on continuing the class even though we were all quite happy to relocate via the nearest off licence... the beach was only minutes away :(

Clearly it will be hard work for you ...life is harsh sometimes... ;)

Brinniel 05-14-2007 12:19 AM

Hehe...if I were you Sixth, I'd just stay up for the deadline. That's the kind of person I am...a late nighter. In fact, 4am would be a great deadline for me. :p

But then again, you're currently in school, aren't you, so I guess that probably wouldn't work out so well...

Gil-Galad 05-14-2007 07:15 AM

just had an idea for roles... probably too late now

it could switch like

Boromir88 - Gil-Galad
Gil-Galad - Boromir



just a fun twist...

Rikae 05-14-2007 08:23 AM

Sorry, Gil, that train has sailed. :D

Volo 05-14-2007 01:59 PM

Just noting that I'll be away most of Day1. Sleep, school, confirmation courses. ( :rooleyes::( ) Might have an hour but don't expect too much spammage from me.

Rune Son of Bjarne 05-15-2007 03:38 AM

Post 2200
 
I am just letting you know that I have gotten ill and that combined with the fact that I only got 4 hours of sleep due to a dentist appointment, means that I really need a nap now if I am to get through work tonight.

Normally I would call in sick, but I have some really important stuff to do the next two days, actually mostly tomorrow. . . .still I would prefer not call in sick, show up the next day and then maybe call in sick the next day, it would seem very weird.

The result is that I will now go take a nap and I don't know when I will be back, I shall make sure as a minimum to drop in before deadline and cast a vote.

Rune Son of Bjarne 05-15-2007 07:30 AM

I decidied to call in sick anyways. . .but I still need more napping!

I will return.

Volo 05-15-2007 08:44 AM

\o/ No confirmation courses today! So, I'll be here WWing for a few hours.

Rikae 05-16-2007 05:19 AM

I just wanted to add that I would really appreciate it if anybody who needs to send me a name during the night phase would do so at least an hour before the deadline. I don't want to be late getting the narration posted.

Thanks!

Gil-Galad 05-16-2007 08:15 AM

i apolagize for day one, i was really busy that day and i feel so bad not participating as much...

Mithalwen 05-16-2007 12:15 PM

Of course I forsaw this....
 
and I was having so much fun.... I shall watch the rest of the game with much interest.

Mithalwen in Mandos.

I knew Lemonade was a bad idea

Diamond18 05-16-2007 05:14 PM

Just so you know, I'm having the Work Week From Hell this week (2 jobs equals 8 shifts in 5 days and little to no sleep!) I thought my schedule was going to be different (i.e. much lighter) when I signed up and then I got a couple extra shifts piled on me... le sigh. Anyway, for the time being I'm okay but I'm not even sure I'll be able to post this weekend. :(

The Saucepan Man 05-16-2007 06:45 PM

I shall not be around for the rest of this Day, as I shall be watching the cricket at Lords (don't you know) tomorrow. I am unlikely to make it back before the deadline, unless rain stops play (which is always a possibility, but not forecast).

Toodle pip.

Rikae 05-17-2007 12:17 PM

Weeellll.....

Of course I couldn't put Durelin in this death narration; I had to wait until the time was up to know what I was writing! (In the last hour, I prepared Rune-lynching, Legate-lynching, Legate & Boro double-lynching and Boro-lynching narrations!)

But surely she must die tonight.

Perhaps if she posts on the admin thread tonight I'll be flexible, though...:( ... I really don't like to eliminate a player...

You surely must show them to us after the game ends - especially the double-lynching might be interesting. The other two can eventually still take place.

I only wanted to make known that I probably won't be around the next Day (well, probably - read it as "surely". It's highly improbable that I'd show up). You won't believe how disappointed I am with it, but duty calls. Hmm... is it possible to send posts to the Downs via SMS? ;)

Well, currently I'd give anything for the possibility of posting toMorrow... it would of course also need the possibility of seeing the posts. What a shame, what a shame... oh, I don't know how I'm going to spend the Saturday, but I'll surely have mind on WW instead of what I should... ***ADDICT***

xyzzy 05-17-2007 07:51 PM

Sorry about lack of activity last couple of days. Preparing for company coming tomorrow.

Rikae 05-18-2007 10:26 AM

I am in the middle of some completely unavoidable nasty gobbledigook* at the moment and may be unable to post the narration beginning the day right at the deadline. If this occurs, please don't be angry with me and/or concerned for my safety.

If Durelin hasn't posted here yet by the deadline, you may assume she's dead. I trust the wolves will stop PMing at that time, and you may begin posting in the game thread. I'll get the narration up as soon as possible.

*Macalaure, don't worry, it's not anything new; I'm just dealing with the situation that came up yesterday evening.

Volo 05-18-2007 10:42 AM

And what about the wolf kill? Ask some dead player to notify it to us.

Volo 05-18-2007 11:07 AM

And other: I might post Legate's vote.

Volo 05-19-2007 03:29 PM

Triple-post even here...
 
Xyzzy's dead, huh?

Rikae 05-19-2007 06:15 PM

I'm afraid it looks that way, Volo. But, to be fair, I'll give him the same chance I gave Durelin...if he posts on this thread before the day begins tomorrow, he will be forgiven. :D

Brinniel 05-19-2007 09:50 PM

Dang...what a bad luck I have. I just can't seem to get past Day 3. And I don't think I'll ever get out of this curse. :(

Oh well. Good luck wolves.

It was far better than my wolf-debut! If Rune hadn't accused you, you could have flown under the radar all the way to victory...quite impressive!

This forgiving can't be eternal. Even though it might sound cruel, I think there has to be a stricter rule about not participating in the game. Ok, a day or two away for a reason is understandable, but not so that you have to retreat from several games in a row... Or if you post a post per Day saying nothing on topic. :rolleyes: :(

Gil-Galad 05-21-2007 12:25 PM

quick question, does seer = medium

because i remember coming up with a role called the medium a while back, so just wondering...

Rikae 05-21-2007 12:37 PM

Ooops...I didn't know there was already a "canonical" medium. It's a role I made up for this game - as far as how it works...I will keep my own council for now. :D

Yup, Gil's role, never used (?).

Durelin 05-21-2007 01:18 PM

I'M SO SORRY.

I really did not think things through when I joined this game. >_<

I AM SOO SOOOO SORRY!!!!!!

Rikae 05-21-2007 01:33 PM

I had just started to worry about you!

Sorry you missed the game...:(

yep its never been used as far as i know, simply the medium is just the opposite of the weaver, where the weaver views connections between two living villagers, the medium takes a dead one and a living one an determines a connection
