Since the game is probably going to last only a few days I'll more than likely be joining you for the one after that (since there clearly seems enough interest for there to be a third game).

The thought had occured to me of waiting until the third game, but, being a person have very little self-control, I don't think I could wait that long

. I could barely wait the day-and-a-half for the last game to get over with (I discovered it late). I suppose I'll think on withdrawing, but for the meantime my hat is still in the ring (and it's likely to remain there).

You're busy through Monday and so unable to really pay attention to the game until then, a more recent look at my workload suggests I won't be able to really spend time here until Thursday...I would like to have a part in the next game and am really irked at the idea of waiting, but what's the point of taking a spot someone else could actually use if I must be mute. This way someone else gets a chance to play and I'm not distracted and so able to get my work done...sure I must impatiently wait for another chance to to risk death at the hands (or paws, depending) of you people but on the whole everyone wins (and this is probably the only time it can be said that 'everyone wins' in relation to this game)

So, it was Kuru that killed me.

After I died instead of Mith, it made me suspect Kuru just as much as Fea.

Was it this post that made you kill me, Kuru? You knew I was going to kill you and Fea if I stayed in, didn't you?

Beautiful game, everyone.

No, not specifically. It was either you or Mithalwen that night. I'd decided that even before that particular DAY phase started. I don't remember exactly what made me pick you. I think it had something to do with I thought I would have an easier time making it look like Mithalwen had eaten you than you eating Mithalwen...or something like that. However, that next DAY did not go the way I had expected it to at all! I was offered an unexpected gift that I decided to refuse!!

No kidding. I groaned something terrible when I saw that Bilbo was getting votes. If Bilbo got killed, I figured the wolf would win since there would be only one more chance to kill it and two good suspects to kill.

That was so much fun to read! Can I request to be part of the next game? I've played a similar game on every band trip ever, we call it Mafia, with cards. I love it. So...yeah, *whine* I wanna play!

Beat it, kid. Whiners aren't allowed to play this game.

"Mafia"- yeah, fun game.

"with cards"- huh?

Explain the "with cards" part (if it's a long explanation, pm it).

I haven't decided if I want to play yet...I may just want to sit back and bask and gloat

No- please don't. If I'm a wolf next time I want you in the game so I can maul you.

Encaitare · 05-19-2005, 08:17 PM

I would like to take part in the next game. Nothing like suspicion, intrigue, and accusation to brighten up my day!

Kuruharan · 05-19-2005, 08:19 PM

I'm not sure I entirely agree with your sig there Estel.

Misleading is the key, not necessarily lying per se...

Note for The Saucepan Man

I heartily endorse the no-retraction rule on voting. I'm not so sure about mandating a minimum amount of debate though. I think just a no retraction rule would probably serve the purpose of making people think before they vote more effectively than a set amount of time. (Might help avoid awkward situations like arose at the start of DAY 4. bilbo_baggins was within a hair's breadth of being put down before he even had a chance to say a word, let me tell you...

)

Setting a minimum debate time might be counterproductive in stimulating debate because people might be afraid to say anything before the minimum time had passed.

EDIT: I trust we will get a new thread for the next game (although I haven't decided if I want to play yet...I may just want to sit back and bask and gloat

!)
