I love the fact that the game about everyone lying is also a game that requires us to trust everyone. It's a glorious paradox. ^_^

Makes perfect sense.
I've stuck with what I consider to be the "published legendarium" - allowing the Great Tales, but not anything from HoME or anything non-Middle-earth. Doing the whole thing in quotes from Beowulf, Arthur, Kullervo, Gawain, Pearl, and Sigurd/Gudrun would be hilarious in principle, but very hard in practice.

I've managed to scrape together three, one of which includes the word "pitch" at least twice (thank you, Bilbo!). It should suffice.
Given the whole midnight thing, my plan is to hit the Living with a string of four posts right off the bat, and then basically go to sleep and let the wolves try and claim they don't understand what a quote with the word
innocent in actual quote marks could possibly mean.
(It's 'It must be remembered that the Stones were originally "innocent," serving no evil purpose', from UT.)
Assuming the Ghost rules don't change, of course. I think they worked pretty much as intended, but know that others may have different opinions.
Mods, if the Ghost rules
are going to be changed, will we be told the new rules at Daybreak or in advance?
