[Legate of Amon Lanc]

A group of people was walking down a half-empty street in the low light.
"It was a good game," one of them said.
"Anyway, the Elves part was the best," said the once-again DM, "or at least I liked it the most."
"Yea, definitely. Well, I was almost dead all the time."
"How comes you picked the worst spots in the battle?"
"No idea. We crossed the river and I run just into the swordsman who hit me for 30 damage in one round. Then I chose to search just under the tree on which that sniper was sitting. Then..."
"Hey, it's my bus. All right, see you later."
The party disbanded. Everyone went to their homes, by bus, by tram, by walk... only the DM did not do so. He knew, when this was over, that he has to go back.
He turned his back on the city and walked away, and soon, the chill and the fog appeared and the DM was no more.

"They are waiting for you, Grimburgoth," the voice from above spoke. The Chieftain of the Dark Rangers nodded, took on his black hood and using a 5th level spell he should not have in his list, he transported into the enclosed barrow.


All right, friends. I just read what happened around here, and I am not going to be around for long, as I am here just to come and go. But as it has been said elsewhere, that's only today. I haven't read all as deeply as I would like, but I hope to be able now to voice the things that made impact on me when reading now in a short (edit: *ahem* looks at the post below: well...) and comprehensible way.

I am a little concerned by the way the things went toDay this far. I mean, from what I read, I got the impression that lot of the talk on the first page went only around half-joking suspicions, which in some mysterious way turned into serious ones. Or maybe not, that's the worst thing about it, I can't tell: maybe they were supposed to be (or to look) serious from the start, which would be indeed critical. It started with Nogrod having something red in his towel, to which - a normal in-character thing - a load of responses mainly from sally, a little also Shasta and consequently more from LG followed. Let me see - there are two options. A) Either they are jokes, then I say there is too many of them and no real substance in almost all posts of the named people. Not necessary to say that such a way of playing is absolutely unproductive. One or two joking or in-character things are no problem, but when there is a fifty-post dialogue made from them, you know. B) They are serious, then obviously it's silly as well - basing suspicions on Nogrod on the fact that he carried a red towel doesn't need any comment, I believe.

Otherwise, there was this thing about Mac saying we lynch a conventional type person. I believe Aganzir responded to it quite right and I can't see how it could have been misinterpretated: focusing on certain "ideology" is not a way to really look for wolves. It is an individual focus on each person, and everyone choosing to lynch the one who, to him, seems suspicious. That does not mean "odd-behaving", that means, well, suspicious. Even behaving "conventionally" may be considered suspicious, sometimes, and sometimes "odd-behaving" beople are suspicious.

Concerning people, just what I got from what I read: I mentioned already above the strange joke-or-not-joke talkers, i.e. Sally, LG and to lesser extent, Shasta. About Mac I don't know. Rikae's posts look more like in her normal unpleasant style, so nothing particularly suspicious on her this far. Likewise, Aganzir this far looks quite fine, and I daresay not in her typical innocent-looking way, but she's kinda bit, how to say it, aggressive, so I would like to hope at last once I could think her innocent and be right about it. Lommy posted just once, but her one post looks also quite like a normal innocent Lommy. I must say also that this far, Gwathagor makes the impression of an innocent newbie rather than a wolf-newbie, although of course not knowing him, I am not setting it as standard. About Menel, McCaber and Nerwen I can't say anything, and strangely, also about Nogrod who made a lot less input that I would expect from him. What's going on, Noggins? (Not that I don't like having less and shorter things to read, but... Or is there anything more sinister in the background, Nog?)

One more serious matter to solve. Although I'd like to hear about all of this, I am most worried about Sally, because of what I said above and because of the last post:

I promise a substantial vote the next Day.)

So, wait- do I understand correctly, you say that your vote is merely a random one? I can understand that you have to vote now, for I have as well, as I won't be around till DL, but surely there can be something more than just voting randomly? I don't like also the "hopefully I won't start a bandwagon" thing. A person who wants to get someone lynched in fact wants to start a bandwagon - well, not a bandwagon, but in the meaning that she wants to find support if she thinks she has found a wolf. And of course, mainly, for a wolf it's an alibism: the more if you say you vote randomly! Therefore, my vote today is

Anyway, I will be leaving now, so that's about it. As I said, nothing much from me toDay, but I hope it will be better in the future and hope to see you toMorrow. I will have a lot more time to participate and with more time to make my mind on things. Good luck.

EDIT: x-ed since shasta
