Oh wow... Shirriffs is a LONG time ago. Long in the sense of "I think they might not have been used since before Formie started playing." I don't think I ever played in a Shirriffs game anyway--I KNOW I wasn't ever one.

Yes... basically Lari-style lovers (both on the Ordo side), but weaker. And less mushy.

My first game ever, which was like game number 3 or 4 or something, haha, a looonnngg time ago, I was a shirriff. It was quite fun.

Cannot believe how fast this game filled up! Awesome!

For anyone who cares, besides Boro , about my butterfly myths, here are the three that I used for my little minions (awesome names were given by Mr. Mod-God though):

~ In mythology, the butterfly is rarely distinguished from the moth, so since the moth is irrevocably drawn to a flame, both are related to Fire. (hence Firefly)

~ In the 1600's, a dwarf spaniel was developed that is named for its broad, erect, and feathery ears, ie. the Papillon, (aka Continental spaniel) which is the French word for "butterfly." (hence the vicious dog)

~ Choas theory: described as the disturbance of the air caused by the movements of a butterfly's wings that can, over time and with changing circumstances, become a hurricane. (hence Gust boy)


And in case anyone is finding it hard to picture the beauty that is a butterfly as being evil, the Dalai Lama said that butterflies are extremely uncaring creatures.

I am having waaayyyyy too much fun with this, haha.

They are terrifying!

Heh, I'm not the only one around here who is afraid of them, either...

Yes the narrations should be clear enough as to whom killed who. For your other question, don't trouble me with abnormal scenarios which are unlikely to happen. Kidding, oi that's difficult, right now all I'll say is a super battle will take place. I think bears like anything sweet, and nothing might be sweeter than syrup covered legs. Although, the millions of flies may mask the syrup and spare your life

Use it as often and as long as you want. Of course I won't stop anyone from wating to lynch you for it, but it'd be highly amusing.

That sound much better than doing it the whole time I can't speak for anyone else, though.

Roles will be sent out Tuesday at around 10pm, and Night 1 will then start at 11pm. Making Day 1 start Wednesday at 11pm.

So, by Tuesday (say roughly noon - 1pm) I will need from:

Brinn - power and answers
Hakon - power
Lommy - power and answers
Pitch - answers
Shasta - answers

P.S. Thanks sally for pointing out that I used the wrong word...I thought that was Nienna's power? Oh wiat, she just analyzes people based on the frequency of words used. Apparently I used "power" and "answers" a lot...what's that say about me?

Although I can read the backwards, I can't really say I like it. That being siad, if you maintain it through day 1, I've already got someone to vote for on that silly day.
