Believe me, when it comes to that I am completely Dutch. I grew up in an Amsterdam suburb, you know.

But I know some of the Downers (actually, pretty much all of them) aren't and I'm trying to be politically correct in a conversative way.

Thanks for joining, Ang!

New Werewolf Rules

PASS THE JOINT

Randomly determined player forbidden to make any kind of sense for one Day. Partaker changes every day.

EUTHANASIA

Any hardened players from Werewolf 1 must be killed as quickly as possible because "it's the kindest thing for them".

EDIT: By the way, some of my best friends-and my step-grandmother-are Dutch.

So that means I can indulge in all the immature stereotyping that I like with complete impunity! Nyah nyah!

I could come up with a few more, but I fear my country is becoming too X-rated for the Downs. You don't *want* to know what they're trying to legalise now.

But honestly, Anguirel, I don't think we'd need such rules. People rarely make sense anyway and seasoned players are almost always killed off immediately.

Well as a decadent Londoner I think Dutch Werewolf Rules sound rather amusing - but fair enough, we must abide with the moral majority...

EDIT: I'd particularly wish to introduce stringent Euthanasia legislation for kilt-wearers. But as he's not even playing, as yet...

The "Michiel Adriaan Joosten" in me is amused by the Dutch Discussion (seriously, Ang, that first, random, rule would be hilarious... I'm seriously for it). The very conservative North American is pleased to see Cailín taking a moderate approach to things.

And the voter in me has to say:

++ 10 pm

Either date is fine for me, I'd prefer the 10pm time. I'm the whale hunter.

I agree, afterall, even if we are not biologically decended-our country's ancestors were rather prudish and it has stuck for the most part. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I missed the lovers-could someone pm me or link to the posts that explain it please.

Heh. I suppose I might as well admit that I PM'ed a certain Downer who fits that description with a "nudge nudge we're on a ship, ooh pirates" sort of message. He seems to be ignoring me, though.

++10 PM because I'm used to being in the weird time zone. Besides, I'm still in my last class for the day on 8 AM (which is 3 PM here, thanks Nilp).

Also, --retractable votes.

And no same-sex Lovers!

As for my occupation, I shall be a seasick reluctant traveler.

Indeed? Let me give that a try...

Aww, Di, I'm sorry. But I think most of us know (indeed - I knew beforehand almost exactly who'd protest against the idea of same-sex Lovers) our fellow Downers too well to not be able to guess.

I am rolling my eyes. We all agree different sex Lovers are cool. Some of us are opposed to the other kind of pairing. Then the choice is easily made - in my opinion.

Firefoot - since we are not having the same-sex Lovers, I will be forced to put you on the maybe list. The game is already unbalanced in favour of the women, so we need some male sign ups first.

Please continue the voting!
