Aside from the fact it was a pretty good drawing, I wanted to award full points for the question for the very fact that Batman was defeated by tripping over his own feet and falling from a great height, even though it had nothing to do with Jane Addams. Clearly this student was mocking the failure of the most disturbingly insane villain ever, the Joker, at defeating the Great Bat.

Heh. Heh. If nothin else he has good stories. And it was the first post, so we can hardly expect an epic analysis. Apart from the first post bit I think he's fine so far.

PS. Y'all are evil.

EDIT: Boro beat me to first post. He's must be evil. *grumps*

Well I'm not a wolf and I fled so I think we'll be safe. Unless of course Lottie's a wolf and is just trying to screw with us. o_O

Isabel - evil. Is sharing a room with Nerwen, which clearly means they're in cahoots! And, as Nerwen has already been established as evil, she must be too!
Kitanna - evil. I've never played with her before, either.
Pitchie - evil. Predicted exactly what I just did.
Lottie - amazingly good. Just sayin'.

Well she's using extremely twisted logic because I almost alway have a themed avvie. Clearly she's evil. *nods sagely*

More Alice quotes?

There's a large mustard-mine near here. And the moral of that is -- The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours

Lottie, Alice in Wonderland is the bestest story ever. You're clearly evil for thinking otherwise.

All of the players are as follows:

Nerwen
Glirdan
Sally
Durelin
Boro
Nogrod
Wilwa
Isabel
Kitanna
Pitchwife
Loslote

That is 11. So hypothetically if we never lynch a wolf then it would take them until about Day 4 to win. Which is 4 lynches. That is also assuming though that the Ranger never makes a save. SO, we have quite wonderful chances, since 4 lynches is a lot and we have a Ranger. But I guess there's a cobbler too out there, so we kinda have to watch out for them, but them not being cursed is actually one less thing to worry about.

Anyway, I'm exhausted and have 2 tests tomorrow, so I need to go sleep. I should be on randomly in the morning.

Nice commentary on the logistics of the game, but it seems a bit too much of a "ra ra village we can do this" post to me. I'm just sayin'.

They tell me I should be left alone, but I don't really like being alone. But I'd really just rather you all went away.

I'm hungry. I think I could lunch any of you right now. I mean lynch.

Glaringly innocent. I mean just look at the last line of that post. An angel!

Durelin is a Wolf because of the lunch thing. We're all hungry, but if we don't get rid of this peskiness now, we'll be hearing it for the rest of this camping trip. Oh, and I call NOT sleeping in the same tent...or doing dishes for that matter....that's just a big no....

Oh, and Wilwa is a Wolf just on principle.



I resemble that remark!!

His logic is undeniable. And he's my hunny, so he must be innocent.

Heh. Anything could be a hint at anything. Or a hint at nothing.

Like I said....

*rolls eyes at Nerwen* I thought you of all people would survive this nuthouse.

My "hints" the last game were a) I meant to include a line in my song parody of "everyone's got a helpful cobbler" but forgot and b) I said "we're all evil". My hinting failed. But I actually did have a point with all this: cobbler hinting is not neccessarily straight forward, and I don't think we should automatically assume Boro's evil. However, I'm also not saying he's cleared, either - just don't blow it out of porportion. Much. Some blowing out of porportion is fun, methinks.

Just a bit yeah. I mean it's only Day One and everyone's trying to be a bit silly so I'm taking nearly everything with nothing right now.

Look– a confession! Lynch him!



*shrugs* Oh you want a serious answer? Well, then: wolves and cobblers don't often jump straight in and start hinting away in the very first post of the game. So it probably wasn't a hint. But then again it might be. Or maybe not. Who knows?



Me too. Why, none of us would be having such a wonderful time right now if it wasn't for the Joker!

Erm, I do. But not this game, obviously, because I've nothing to hint at. *pouts*

and the moral of that is--be what you would seem to be--or if you'd like it put more simply--never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.

Heh. Whyever not?

Mummy, I'm afraid....

And I think Lottie and Nerwen are reading into this whole first post thing a little too much. Starting to unnerve me and if they don't stop I'm going to go and tell mom!!

Anyways, I have to go see these people in white for some happy pills and probably won't be back until MUCH later in the Day to post again (please refer to admin thread). See ya everybody!!

I rather concur about the overanalyzing thing. But at the same time there's not much else productive to do, so meh.

This whole post blows it out of proportion seems to me. Though you're advising us not to do so. Interesting.

If we do that all game we'll be donners....erm, I mean goners. So let's not.

Otherwise it has been just like I thought a madhouse would be.

Whatever her role, Dury's "I think I could lunch any of you right now" looks plain calculated.

Or Lottie saying "I don't think we should automatically assume Boro's evil" looks just soo out of place. I mean really.

And talking of cobbler hints, Nerwen's "Yay! Go wolves!" is on a class of its own. That she pleads insanity doesnt't do away the fact that she decided to voice that sentence in the first place.

Well she is a bit mad, so for now I'm going to ignore it. Like I said, for now. Oh, and Nog must also survive toDay for he is quiet but entertaining.

So please stop jumping on Lottie for her attempt to get the game going (she seems to consider that her special duty of late, and she does it quite well).
Glirdan, it's way too early to be unnerved yet. Unless I misunderstood something, the whole cobbler-hinting-to-wolves-or-vice-versa business was about Boro, not you, so what reason do you have to be unnerved (unless you happen to be packmates, of course)?


Violator? No, sorry, wrong comic...

EDIT: x-ed with Nog

Hmmmm. Interesting idea about Glirdan, joking or not.

The whole Boro thing, I don't know. I suppose it could be a cobbler hint, but then I suppose it could not be. But really, is our objective to kill the cobbler or to kill the wolves??? Cobblers, in my oppinion, are more dangerous later on in the game, not really as much in the beginning.

Though like I said earlier it would take 4 Days with no wolf lynch in order for the wolves to win, so that does give us a lot of wiggle room, I suppose lynching a cobblerish person wouldn't be a totally terrible idea. And I wouldn't put it past a wolf to act like a cobbler in order to slip through anyway.

My point: I personally do not see it as cobblerish, and I personally would rather look for wolfish behaviour rather then cobblerish behaviour, but lynching a cobbler would obviously not be a wasted lynch, and we do seem to have a wide window.

I need food. *follows Glirdan and the white coats*

x'ed with Pitch

Yes, but at the same time the wolves may often hide by posing as cobblers. So looking for cobblerish behavior can in fact help us. Of course no two wolves are the same so we have to employ a variety of wolf-hunting strategies. *nods*

Also, again with the 'oh we have loads of time' sentiment. It's disconcerting.

Originally Posted by Nogrod

That's exactly why I think we should also pay heed to cobblerish looking action early in the game... That would be the easiest cover early on if there is a general feeling that the possible cobblers will be "dealt with" only later on.

Talking of which... could somebody tell me what was that "cobbler hint" you guys read from Boro's post? Beats me.

And we agree yet again. *snuggles Nog* As for the hint, I really don't get it either.

I don't see anything weird in Boro's post. I think it was just a funny story he wanted to share with the class, since it fit the theme and all.

Seconded.

That said, I think a Cobblerwen might amuse herself by playing crazy and confusing the brains out of our poor skulls (see her resreveR act in Boro's D-League game!), but I can't quite see her doing something that blatant. And a Nerwolf would, of course, be waaaay more circumspect.


I see your point - like "Of course I'm not saying he's a wolf, but I'd like to keep the idea hovering in the background". Subconscious doesn't know negations, and all that. Hmmm...

To be fair I do think a wolf Nerwen would actually be more bold than a cobbler. But bold isn't crazy, and I think I remember a game with a cobbler Nerwen and she was....well, a nutter. So maybe you're right. I don't know though.

Originally Posted by wilwarin538

I think this is also more likely. Every Day 1 there has to be atleast one person who jokingly says they're for the wolves/are a wolf, when they likely are not, just to joke around and stir the pot and whatnot. Especially in a nut house like this one. I wouldn't put too much into something like that, it's almost impossible to know if someone is joking or not. Could be more useful in a few Days though I suppose, if other stuff piles up about her or something.

I have to leave again, eye appointment. I will be back on later for some seriousness and not so many muffins....

Exactly. However, this is another one Wilwa's posts that simply doesn't ring true to me. *frowns*

My time in this stint's limitted because usually I want to pass out by 10 pm, and have to be up at 6 am, and as the week progresses I get more and more cranky. I have to go in about 15 minutes to take care of some RL business, but should be back for about 4-5 hours until I am ready to knock out for the night.

Anyway, I don't know who pointed it out first, but my first post was a funny story that happened when I gave a test last Friday, and you know how long I waited to be able to share that realizing it was perfect in this situation! I wanted to give some kind of credit for the creative brilliance, but alas it had nothing to do with Jane Addams.

Sorry for disrupting your first song-post Lottie. Ok, not really. But please people, stop using me as a guinea pig. How many times do I apparently say something controversial on Day 1, and how many times does the discussion start reverting to what I actually 'meant,' what I was hinting, and than who jumped on an attacking bandwagon, then who defended it, and who jumped off, back on, all around...and where does it lead?

(Lots of ands and incorrect grammar, in the above paragraph...yep I know that, but I needed to point out this entire conversation over what I said, what I didn't, what hints is silly. Buh bye, catch ya later).

Because you're so adorable. Duh.

And yes, yes there was, but we'll keep you around anyway. And besides, someone has to start discussion, whether it's by saying something or having something said about them. You're just too popular! *chuckles*



EDIT: x'd since Boro's. And please forgive any and all typos; my computer's being silly.
