Eomer, one of the reasons I don't play so much is because I don't feel I can participate properly. And I am becoming a very grouchy old lady these days but saying it is pointless to spend time on day ones is a a rather self fulfilling prophecy. All the fenris wolves have learnt the hard way that day ones can be productive....

If it had been a tiny village I wouldn't have been so suprised but 19 is big and when it includes lots who normally talk a lot - I didn't really factor in the effect of the US holiday and Nogrod being away otherwise I might have gone sooner - though it seems, typically, that everyone crawled out of the woodwork the moment I went.

Anyway, I now see I was wrong Sally was quite effusive. She is quite perly generally but I do remember that when I made a save as a ranger (rare moment of glory), one of the wolves made a big show of congratulations, and I all but posted "why, thank you!".. however in itself I find Form's attitude a bit strange - to expect to learn much from a first wolf kill is truly optimistic...
but I do agree with him about the Elf Warrior's vote - with such a wide field it was decisive and so anything but random.

Nilp - seems very rational - Son? Are you feeling ok?

Excuse me I need to break this post...
