Tol-in-Gaurhoth XVI: No man is an Island

[Garin]

I have always opposed the idea of double lynchings unless there is werebear in the mix. It ends up killing innocent villagers and playing into the werewolves hands. I think we should try to avoid ties and come up with some sound reasoning for each lynching, after all, we are KILLING PEOPLE. The first day will be crazy as usual. I think the most silent will get bumped off. Will the Euros/Brits/ Students please identify themselves so as we don't get suspicious for no reason?
My most active hours will be at the beginning and near the end of each day, being 3 pm (1500) by my time. I can't wait to lend you horses, I have the finest stock.
Villagers win!

Will the Euros/Brits/ Students please identify themselves so as we don't get suspicious for no reason?

Well, I fit both in the Euro and Student catagory. I'm not normally known for my silence, however. I should be able to post something at the start of each day on most days (which is 11PM for me - I am GMT+1), but I will be gone on Tuesdays (from 11PM till 5PM - pretty long), Wednesdays (from 10AM till 7:30PM) and Thursdays (10AM till 6PM). Of course, that does not necessarily mean I will be home and active during the rest of the hours - for I am quite a busy girl at the moment -, nor that I can never post during classes (because I have these remarkably fun classes in which all they want you to do is speak English, drink tea and use slang all the time). But especially on Tuesdays, do not expect too much from me. And between 11PM and 6AM I am usually asleep.

All times are GMT, by the way, for your convenience.

Perhaps, but giving the werewolves the right to choose whoever they want lynched in the case of a double-lynch could encourage them to do so as many times as they want, as subtly as they can, and each time to their advantage.

I am not so sure, Lhuna, whether it would be all to the werewolves' advantage. Each time they would be giving a preference as to who they wish to see lynched and while doing that, they'd reveal much more about themselves than they might wish. However - I quite agree that the current arrangement might not be the best way to go about it. But it's all up to the moderator and who knows how it may work out?

Some earlier terms I've found of interest: the name for the medieval privy closet was garderobe. The individuals in those days who cleaned out the privies and cesspools were called gongfermors or gongfarmer (appeared in 1814) - a scavenger. Gong is a word (appeared in 1633) for the contents of a privy, the ordure (appeared in 1388) as the French called it. A gong-burl was the hole of a privy.

remind me again what day we are starting the bloodbath?

I happen to be a student, and am living in the eastern US, so I'll probably be able to post only from 2:30 PM until around 10:00 PM my time (homework permitting), and possibly for a few minutes around 6:00-6:15 AM my time, depending on how quickly I get my morning routine time.
