Just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be away for the last about 6 hours of the day. So my vote will have to come slightly early.

Just a reminder to everyone, and I mean everyone! I'm not singling anyone out.

Take it easy! Have fun. Don't take anything personally, and don't deal out anything insulting. If you mean to insult jokingly (which is totally fine by me), keep in mind how the person is going to take it (you know each other, or at least your online personas, well enough to know who might take it poorly). Make sure they know you're joking.

And please, by all means, throw insults at each other as much as you want...just make sure they know they're not personal.

Otherwise...carry on!

Well I hope I've not upset anyone! If anyone is feeling so, it's just a game! And besides, the real vitriol happens when myself and davem settle down to play the Lord of the Rings Trivia Game. Brrr, real insults fly then...

Still loving this Werewolf lark!

Yes, ma'am. I'll try. Really, I will. I get so excited in these games, real mafia games, too, that it's insane. But, I take no grudges or dislikes outside the game.

And in this game particularly, I must say again, especially don't take anything personal from me. Countess Folwren is different than what I might normally say in a game.

Yes, it's the simple matter that both joking and "in-character-ness" is hard to tell sometimes.

Eh, forget about feelings, all of you. Just have fun.

Alrighty, we're on our agreed upon break now.

Everyone have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy Holidays!

Day 3 will begin at 2:00 pm EST on the 26th.

CaptainofDespair will be performing his co-mod duties and posting to open the game then as I will not be available.

Thanks everyone for a great game (so far)!

A little reminder...

I have re-started the game. Dance (Day) 3 has begun, and you may all resume posting.

And remember your invisibility cloaks.

My sister and her boyfriend have been entertaining their friends from London for the Christmas-time in Eastern Finland and they will be coming here tomorrow. I have promised to show them around Helsinki and can't swear I will be able to post at the last hours of the game toDance as it's evening RL-terms here.

I will be back though, before they come.
