Well, if you're offering, I'd love a root beer. Root beer is good for thinking!
So, Lariren, just to make conversation, are you in shock from this morning, or have you been consorting with those of an unsavory nature? I hear wights have some kind of dark breath...could shock anyone. Quote:
![]() However, Shasta, I'll offer you a root beer, and I'll shoe your horse for free, if you want to read the stars for me. EDIT: x'd with Mirandir, Lariren. Well, I'm too slow and missed out on root beer. So, Mirandir, this is the first time you've been in the village during a crisis? Me too. I don't know who to disbelieve! Or maybe I do, and don't want them to know... And I'm disappointed no one suspects me yet. Am I not sinister enough? I have access to swords, even if they aren't very good...

I'm a Leo.
If I remember correctly, that means that I love to be the center of everybody's attention. I happen to think it simply means that I have a profound personal identification with cats...

Sorry to come in this late but I actually had a 14-hour workday today and have basically just come home and eaten the first time today (10PM). I'll be reading next and come back then.
So it seems I'm not able to stand behind my promise to post only once on Day1 but I'll try to keep my posting in two posts toDay. Let's see if I can meet that goal... ![]()

So I am planning to vote in an hour or two because it is very unlikely I want to get up earlier just to play.
I will not vote for Beregond or Mirandir today because they are new. However Lari is not protected by newbieness anymore. ![]() Quote:

Well interesting as the topic is, maybe we'd better cut it. After all, politics shouldn't be discussed on the Downs.
It's generally considered fair that newbies get a chance to play a bit longer than one day. It doesn't apply to everything, though - if you do something outrageously suspicious, you might get lynched very quickly.

Sure, that's only fair. It would take a few days to learn how things work, anyway.

![]() Into the bussiness then. About Frodo. I think that Frodo should actually do the decent thing and reveal himself if he felt he was in danger of being killed by Night. That way we could lynch him and prevent the birth of a fourth ringwraith. When Frodo is in danger great enough to reveal should surely rest on the ringbearer him(her)self; we others should not push him but should point that out. Looking at the Frodo-issue from this angle as I am I'm quite baffled about this post by Agan I ran into: Quote:
Now are you calling for the ringwraiths whom you actually want to join Aganzir? About Ferny. I suggest we cut off the speculation about that old scrooge for Day1. Let's not help him. The less we speculate about him, the more he has to do himself. The same goes with Dury's ranger impersonation. Let the wolves chew it for the time being. We should bother ourselves with it only later if it looks like it. About the banter. Banter is always fun and belongs to the game. But surely people could also add some actual stuff (or was it called "suttf" in this one?) to their banter. Just joking is playing it safe which means either trying to look like an active poster but hiding your fangs or then being a cowardish villager who only thinks for her/himself. Both kind of persons should be gotten rid of sooner rather than later as both will be harmful to us - especially late in the game. *Free weed to everyone! Except the tanner of course... You will profit due to these crises anyway, don't you? ![]() Bah, there went my dream of two posts on Day1 but I really can't vote yet. I'll be back a little later with a vote. (I'm not waking up that early to vote on the only day this week I can sleep up to 9AM) EDIT: X'd with a host of posts...

Innocents on Day One atypically have anybody to gun for based on actual evidence, so I figured I should come up with some sort of guideline to slim down the pool of possible people for me to latch onto immediately. Usually on the first day I pick at total random because I have nothing better to go on yet. This time I decided that 'enthusiasm = reason for enthusiasm' seemed like a pretty fair thing to go on. Thus my otherwise random suspicion (since I have nothing solid to go on). Strangely, I actually just had a dream (this isn't a clue) about Sally. I was just napping, thus dreaming, and we lived in this three story dorm type building, except the elevator was hidden behind a shower, and the third floor had a spare bed half way up a random staircase that was in my room. Sally was living there, in this strange little not-really-third-floor balcony on the stairs that didn't go anywhere else, for all that they continued past where she was hanging out. Strange, no?

Shasta, you're an Aquarius, correct?
Even showing up as late as I did, I almost had the opportunity to make my point about Mr. Underhill before anyone else, but then Nog had to go and mess it up for me. Eh. Revealing may be the best thing Frodo can do for the village. If we know who he is, as soon as a kill is missed (Frodo is changed) we can lynch him. Also, there is no incentive for a baddie to falsely reveal as Frodo, since changing the real Frodo will get the false Frodo lynched. Maybe he could serve as a known innocent of sorts? Nevertheless, it's up to the ringbearer. On the other hand, if Bill Ferny doesn't count as a baddie in the head count, he is really no more powerful than a cobbler who has the ability to clue the wolves in to his own identity. This gives us some hope of catching him, as well as the wolves, since, knowing no more than any ordinary villager, the most he can realistically do is use daytime hints in addition to his nighttime messages to help the wolves find him. By the way, I'm a Pisces (a real one). ![]() EDIT: X'd with the whole page and God only knows what else. By the way, I'm a fan of the gender-neutral pronouns, myself, but since we have a built-in gender for our gifted characters in this game, I went with that. |

Narrowing down those to vote for...
Beregond and Mirandir get the newbie's prize. No vote for either today. Meneltarmacil: I've only played one game with him, and that one not very actively. So he stays for now. Durelin: See Menel, only no games. Nogrod and Legate: their advice will be of use, assuming they're not wraiths. They stay- for now.

I go away for an hour and I feel so behind! Posts come in faster than I can read (literally)! Does this mean I can't go to bed tonight? I won't be able to post as much in days to come...today is unusual in that I haven't been very productive, so I have time to WW.
![]() Gondy? Not bad! I prefer it over Gondie though - Gondy is more masculine. ![]()

Ah ha! So YOU'RE a wraith! Because you don't look like one.

Huh. I tried to access the Downs some five and a half hours ago but failed. I'm here only now and must vote soon since I need to go to sleep. What bothers me (easy to say of course, having been absent myself) is the lack of actual discussion. Yeah, Day 1, I know, but still. Nearly two pages of stuff (suttf?) and hardly anything to comment on. Bah.
The problem is I have no idea who I can vote, or even on what grounds should I vote since there just isn't enough material to base any opinions on. I even have no gut feelings, which is a bit alarming in itself. Like Agan, I will certainly not vote a first-timer out on a Day like this when I have as vague opinions on everyone. I will also not vote anyone who has attempted some actual game discussion toDay. I will not vote anyone who hasn't appeared yet since that's plain evil because I have no way of knowing how that particular person behaves in this game. Now that I've complained and whined enough, I can start thinking. I'll let Lommins in soon, but I could do with some discussion before that. Is there anyone around? EDIT: Evidently. x-ed since Beregond's 62 (Are there any nicknames for you, by the way? Beregond is waaaay too long! ![]()

Just thinking... Is the ring-bearer's role (I first wrote "rule") revealed if s/he gets lynched? Was there a mention of that in the rules?

Bah I had not even noticed this comment earlier.

Guilty Innocent Nerwen. Nothing alarming thus far. Besides it's ages since she last played. No chance I'm lynching her today, especially as she can be quite helpful. Also, a village always needs people with an ability to make ploys. Lommy. She's being mostly sensible and while I'm not convinced about her innocence yet, I'd like to keep her around for now. Legz. Looks innocent enough. Gondie. Innocent enough for now. Nog. Being a normal Nog. Not too worried about him, and it'd be terribly unfair to lynch him now as he's died so early lately. Neither Gollum. Nothing suspicious thus far, but not much useful thus far, either. sally. The same as Golly. Shasta. The same as the two former but funnier. Dury. She's amusing me but apart from that, nothing to go on. I don't think I'll vote for her, though. Brinn. Too little to go on. Fea. She doesn't have a role on day 1. I disagree with her about day 1s. Lari. No idea. Mira. No idea. Actually it's funny I've started calling you two Lari and Mira as both are common Finnish names, Lari a male's name and Mira a female's. Greeny. Simply no idea. * Rikae Mac Rune Menel Oh Gwath wasn't playing then. See I was planning to go to sleep soon and have no idea who to vote. I could of course vote randomly and try to wake up a bit earlier but dunno if I'm capable of that. edit: xed with two little greens
