How come so many people seem to be under the impression the wolves must attack Reddie in order to convert her? Correct a poor non-native speaker if she's wrong but to me that "along with the baddies kill choice" looks pretty much like they send two names every night.

By the way Gaurcrist you need to be on the invisible mode while playing. You can do it by clicking User CP -> Edit Options and then checking the Use Invisible Mode box.

Well, Agan, after reading your post I re-checked the rules. Yeah, I missed that.

Still, now there's no reason not to lynch Shasta.

Also, Gaurcrist: Too funny. I'm watching the phantom too - that creature is a diabolical rogue and requires fist-shaking in his general direction. Bah!

Because that way people can't draw conclusions about your role if they for example see you PMing a lot during the night phases. That's just a general thing that contributes to the fairness of the game.

Oh, yes, I have certainly expressed a huge grudge against you.

Let's take a look at what I said-

All I do is point out that if you miss another day, you are automatically killed by the Moderator, and I ask what we should do about that in case you don't show up. (In other words, should we cut our losses and lynch someone who is going to die anyway.) But since you showed up that obviously isn't the case any more.

But it's very strange that you would be so incredibly touchy about a harmless comment which does nothing but point to the rules.

And let's take a look at your other post.

Hmm.... So Boro and Green have been "strange". And you would know this because you've played countless games against them, yes? Or perhaps you mean some other kind of strange, in which case you might want to point it out.

And for someone who doesn't like people holding grudges against them for not showing up, you voice a grudge against Boro because of his avatar? Very nice. As this is a participation game, showing up is kinda sorta important. Much more important than having a pleasing avatar.

:Maybe Gaurcrist isn't a poker fan. Can't say the devilfish is my favourite either Taking it out on the new player or some sort of wolf on wolf feint?

Wolf on wolf? Yeah. That's likely. Early on we hatched our plot for him to completely skip the first day, show up without an apology (players typically say "sorry" when they miss, Gaur), not even bother to be in invisible mode, and make unsupported statements out of the gate.

Maybe just a bit. But much of what I say is less "taking it out" on someone as much as it is speaking truth and giving my honest opinion. You can't claim that I'm making this stuff up just for fun.

I am not saying it is untrue and there is a limit to how much slack newbies should be cut but I think that was a bit vitriolic for a total newcomer. I am not even sure if English is his first language.

After that I would be suprised if he comes back.
