Now just think if everyone was like you.

"I'm merely saying I'm here... I'll be back when there has been some discussion".

Now who do you think should have made the discussion if people were like you? Some others, right? But not you.

So you think you can be a parasite who only watches "some others" to discuss it so that you can vote one of the discussers.

Why don't you start the discussion - or take part in it? How about everyone behaved like you?

There would be nothing to say.

But then it seems that people lynch one of those who have actually tried to make a difference. And that's understandable as if someone just pops in to say that s/he has nothing to say, it's a hard time to come up with a reason to vote that one person from among many who has said nothing - but it is easy to vote for someone who has actually made some points (as you can disagree with points while you can't disagree with "hi there, let's get the baddies").

So why should we think that you - as you have decided to just hang around - should live after Day1 and those who actually play this game and make your "hanging around" possible in the first place (you can't hang around unless there is something to hang around to) should be the ones from whom we decide who to lynch?

This needs to change.

This really needs to change.

EDIT: X'd with Eomer and Rune

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

While Nogrod is undoubtedly a zealot, his principles are not obviously faulty, even if they do lead him to strange conclusions. Par for the course for zealots, I suppose.

It strikes me as not at all surprising, though, that such 'great' and 'notable' persons will hide when the big decisions have to be made. I don't know what our hostess was playing at. Not only has she, without doubt, led many of us to our graves; she has also provided us with miserably mismatched fellowship in the graveyard.

Humbug to her.

I will likely vote for someone who is deliberately subverting others to his cause: the need to make friends is senseless in itself, and can only point to a darker motive.

'Til later.

Oh your wisdom...
*bows in awe*

Love you Eomer, you're assesment is not obviously faulty...

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Have we got a bilge rat of a Nogrod picking fights and causing dissension? I'll have you keelhauled, just you wait, if you keep this up.

Aye, Husband, the "Cat O' Nine Tails" has been and drowned his wits again. He's in the horrors now– wolves, he says! And did you see my name on his list? And yours? Keelhauling is too good for him!

But this Tivo is a landlubber, and a sorcerer into the bargain– it's not likely I'd trust such a one as he, neither.

Tell you what, why don't we just let 'em duel for a while? I could do with a laugh, I could. 'Tis such a pity about the poor wench. Ah, she'd have made a fine pirate, that she would!

EDIT: bolding.

[Lhunardawen]

That Eomer guy is amusing. We should probably keep him alive.

Noisy and abrasive. Typical Nogrod. As I remember him, anyway. Not much reason to be worried about him now, but obviously bears watching.

But this Legate guy rubs me the wrong way. Feels subtly manipulative under the mask of leadership. Not to mention it feels like he's trying to win people over to his side.

Oh, right, he's my husband.

[Isabellkya]

It seems most often, the Day fighters end up on the innocent side. Though such quarreling a few hours into day break... is a bit of a running start on it, eh?
Our chances of finding a Ringwraith toDay are on the slim side, I'd say.
Since most often, people are their normal selves for this Day. Suspecting people for being predictable first Day selves, is a bit silly. Unless of course, they clearly have predictable behavior changes in terms of which side they are upon.



X'd with Lhuna.

[satansaloser2005]

Eomer's being rather snobbish; I thought that was Nilpie's role.

Kath's being quiet, so is Nienna. No change there. Same for Wilwa.

Cap'n Nog's being a bit of a brute, and I'm not sure I like it. Is he still paranoid from his last voyage or does he have darker motives for being so accusatory?

Rune has picked up on this behavior, and for now I think he'll be allowed to stay, if only because he's very astute and I think he can bring order to this mess.

Nilpie hasn't shown up, but I'm assured he's innocent. He couldn't possibly be otherwise, the sweet thing. Together we'll make this little band of miscreants a bit more ship shape, if you'll excuse the pun. Then again, you'll probably not even get it, so why bother to explain? *sighs, fans herself* I think these proceedings are a bit much for my delicate constitution. Hopefully Nilp will bring me a drink when he returns. He's always so considerate. And did I mention innocent?

Shasta and Nerwen are dirty, thieving pirates. It wouldn't surprise me if they're murderers as well.



The rest is silence....

Thanks, dear.

Shall we elope?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Most likely I won't be around for the rest of the DAY since I have to . . . attend court and present the interests of my clan after eloping with Sally, so:

Sayonara!

I did not say that I would not make a discussion but that I could not make a discussion at the time. I had plans that I was off to complete but thought I should post first just to let people know that I was around and playing. I figured that that was a function first post but I guess that I was wrong. I did not have anything substantial to say so I didn't pretend that I did just to seem to make a discussion. It seems that on Day One many people post a lot of stuff without really saying anything. I was trying to avoid doing that.

My goal in this game is not to just hang around. I really do want to make a difference. I was just hanging around before because there was nothing else to do. If I really thought that I had something substantial to contribute I wouldn't hold back just because I thought it was funny. I would post to let people know what I think.

Right now I think that I'm being a bit defensive and I'm sorry. I do not want to seem like I'm not contributing and I don't want to be lynched just because I'm not saying lots of nothing. I'm perfectly capable of saying a lot without really saying anything (I am a college student after all) but I thought that that would be a waste of everyone's time.

Anyway... I am in dreadful need of sleep but I will be around for at least a part of the end of the day. It is my Sunday and I need to catch up on school work but I will do my best.

Edit: x-ed with Sally

[Brinniel]

Nogrod should probably just vote me now because I can promise that toDay my participation will be to a minimum...

I never have much to say on Day 1, and when I do it's usually at the very end of the Day. Which isn't very helpful since I won't be around in the last few hours; I won't even be around for the last 12 hours. My apologies, but RL is keeping me busy. Anyway, that means it's gonna be a random vote from me toDay. I don't know how I can possibly feel one way or another towards someone so early into the first Day. My first impressions are always off...

I'll lurk around for another hour or so and see if I can get any sort of hunches that could lead to a vote aside from randomness, but then it's off to bed. I would save my vote for morning...but I must be up early and can't be late like I usually am when I play WW.

[Brinniel]

Aand no one's posted. Typical.

I won't vote Lhuna or Groin since they haven't played in awhile.

I won't vote Nogrod because I feel bad I keep killing him and I won't vote Legate because he seems to die in the first Days and Nights a lot lately and I won't vote Nienna because she got axed Day 1 last game.

Everyone else shall be victim to my randomness. Crap, I really hate doing this but I suppose it's better than no vote at all. Either way someone's gonna hate me for it.

Hmmm....

++Sally

Meh, she won't mind too much (err...or at least I hope not).

Yeah, I'm sure now if I don't get lynched, I'll probably be eaten as a no trail kill. Serves me right. While I can't promise tons of posts during this game, I'll certainly do everything I can to do better than toDay should I survive.

Anyway, I can't hold off any longer; I'm only getting 4 1/2 hours of sleep as it is. I might be able to pop in briefly once I wake, but I can't be sure.

[Kath]

Oy. *pokes Nog* I said my morrow not the game's morrow. Keep your hair on and keep an eye out for capitalisation! For once I've actually worked out when Day 1 is and have appeared well in time for it, give me some credit. I will be around toDay though nearer the deadline than now ... although if someone could mention when the deadline is for BST that would be much appreciated!

[wilwarin538]

Alrighty, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back on later as I promised. I feel quite terrible about that, I was hoping that I could have a really productive Day 1 in this game. My Day 2, if I make it, will be far better I'm sure.

So I have to vote now. I won't vote for anyone who hasn't posted, anyone who is new, anyone who has only posted little ones like myself (don't want to be hypocritical), or anyone who has already gotten a vote (don't want to start a chain or anything) . So I believe that leaves (and doing this off by memory to save the little time I have): Legate, Rune and Eomer. Rune, I have to admit that I love him, haven't played with him in a very long time, so I don't want to vote for him. So between Eomer and Legate, I shall toss a coin. Heads Legate, Tails Eomer.

++Eomer

Sorry! Process of elimination really and then some randomness, I'd just much rather vote then not vote at all. Hopefully my logic is good enough for you guys to keep me around.

Good luck everyone! I hope to be able to be much more useful the next Day.

1. That's reasonable.
2. That's not.
3. That's really not.
4. Nor's that.

Sorry Wilwa, but there's no sense in your criteria.

Funny because I think Nogrod seems more agressive than normally. . .He says the same as usual, but the way he say it seems more agressive.

I doubt I can bring order to anything, infact I am often described as a mess my self.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I've got to vote; I'm not sure I'll be on at all later and I'm a bit impaired right now; too much rum, you see.

++Nogrod

Fire!

Much more participation from me in following days if I live, everyone. Sorry!

[satansaloser2005]

I'm rather concerned about the way Nog is approaching toDay. I realize that quiet people are easily forgotten but to target them on Day One, when there's not a whole lot to be said anyway, and people are busy, seems less like prevention and more like stirring up trouble.


Brinn, no worries. If you find me suspicious, you find me suspicious. However I'd ask you to consider some other people toMorrow, as there are baddies to catch and I wouldn't want you to waste your time on me. No hard feelings though, of course. I hope you're able to participate more toMorrow though.


Rune, if I was to choose between you and Nog, I'd choose you. You may be mad but you're doing a lot better at making me not want to lynch you than he is right now. I'll not be swearing my allegiance though, since I'm not any more a fan of you....type....than I am of Cap'n Nog's.


Shasta, I rest my case, you filthy scum.


Where could a girl find more civilized company? (And where's Nilp with my refreshing beverage? I need him to help me through this trying ordeal. Perhaps I should go look for him....)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Right, I am here, and have read all, it seems most of the people have shown and even contributed, at least to some point. So, here is now a short list of what I think of the situation this far. Already some thoughts are beginning to crystallize (shoton, as people say in my homeland), so I hope by the end of the Day I should have enough to come up with at least partially clear picture.

Kath - so far little input. Kath already makes me feel uncomfortable, as always, and I can't read her. As always.
Nienna - despite the first sort of exchange with Nog, I am inclined now to see her behavior as genuine, and not as a particular intention to fly under the radar. Thus, hope to see her posting more in the future: like I said, this far, the picture seems genuine.
Kent2010 - he did not say practically anything this far. I don't know whether I should take the "let's make a deal" as anything worth considering: actually, I thought that it is a mere in-role talk and thus did not give it any in-game value. Well, though of course, I don't know him, so it may be possible that he would try to win people's favour in this way, "buddying" with them. But anyway, I would need to see more from him to be able to judge anything.
Nogrod - Nogrod is being his normal quiet-people-chasing self, and seemingly something has happened in recent games that made him pursue this habit even more forcefully. Let me say in this place that I agree with him, but this far it seems that hopefully people will post. Nogrod himself does not particularly raise my suspicion: if something happened to him, he's perhaps a bit more of a zealot?
Shastanis Althreduin - posted a bit and even voted, but just a little; so I can only hope that there will be this more participation that he promised in the future.
Isabellkya - stating obvious and dismissing Day 1, well that's quite simple and everybody could do that: I would like to see more.
wilwarin538 - the first impression is somewhat positive, I think she is trying to make some input, I only once again hope that there will be more in the future. It is yet quite some time till the end of Day 1, so let's see...
Nerwen - well hey, I would like some more out-role input...
Nilpaurion Felagund - not have been around yet
Rune Son of Bjarne - he actually reminds me of the typical Rune who weighs arguments of everybody... so he makes me feel him as rather innocent.
Lhunardawen - I guess my dear wife should learn her place, but now I would like to see more than one-(or few-)liner input from her.
Eomer of the Rohirrim - well that is one I cannot quite relate with, okay, he has this "offensive" mask, but overall, I am not quite sure what he's up to. Unclear, I'd say: sort of casting suspicion, or something, or rousing feelings, in a bit unclear way. So is there anything he is okay with, except for hating everybody, or what part of it is actually just roleplaying? Or what part could be casting wraith-y nets with hiding behind roleplaying? (By the way, I think people should slowly quit roleplaying after second, third post they make anyway. Or at least try to not mix the reality with roleplaying to the point that it is unclear.)
Groin Redbeard - not around yet
satansaloser2005 - this far, she's being more or less like her usual self, though it seems to me a bit defensive with her reaction to Brinn's vote, which was, like Brinn said, random. Well, whatever - let's see what comes in the future.
Eönwë - not around yet
Brinniel - all right, seems that she is now mostly busy with RL stuff, so I'm leaving her out for now, hope to see her around more in the future!

Okay, actually, all in all, for Day 1, it is quite good. Might have been worse. I am probably going to leave in a short while, but I will be around perhaps for a minute or two yet. Anyway, I shall be back in the evening (several hours before DL), so then. Hope that by that time, people who haven't posted yet will post, and those who posted will post more so that the picture of the may become clearer to me. So, till later...

[Eönwë]

*bangs on large chamber doors and is finally let in*

I'm sorry about coming into this discussion so late, but it appears my chamber was locked with me inside, (my computer was acting funny) and I had to break down the door. A great shame that is, because I fear it will not be replaced now that Lomiel, our dear hostess, is deceased.


Late I am, but the fact is, I see I didn't miss much of the discussion toDay. Two pages isn't much for one Day.


Now let me look over the events of the past Day...
