So I'm here and I'm going to say that Wilwa is a Wolf just because!!

But now to be serious...there have only been five people and it's already been fourteen hours....Not that I'm complaining seeing as this is probably the only time I'll be able to post anything for a good five to six hours......

So, ciao for now....

Oh, and in case no one caught the sarcasm in my accusation towards Wilwa, well, I just explained it.

Love the parody. Izzy, does Marx count?

I was hoping to find some posts before I had to dash off for work for the next six hours - hopefully there will be more to read and digest when I get home tonight?

Goodbye for now!

To continue my list then *clears throat loudly*

Glirdy: guilty, just because

Alona: innocent, because of the Marx comment


So, there really isn't much going on now is there.....do I have to say something controversial to get this thing rolling? OK then, here goes...

I think everyone should reveal who their Lover/Pen Pal is, just to get everything out in the open! Honesty is of course the best policy and all.


If that doesn't stir something up I may have to resort to voting randomly for someone...or maybe voting for myself....or maybe false reveal as something.....cause something exciting obviously needs to happen in order for people to start talking....

anyone? anyone? am I annoying you yet?

Wilwa- Guilty for making lists.

Still nothing of note? This is disappointing, even for Day 1. It does look likely I'll be making a shot in the dark by voting for a sub, at this rate.
Outing the 'PM Pals', hmm? I suppose we could, but what would it accomplish?

EDIT-had to remove one of Wilwa's smilies to allow one of my own

Probably nothing but confusion. I just wanted to get some form of a discussion started and that was the first thing I thought of.

Though I did think of one thing later on. I find it very unlikely that Gwath paired any of the 3 gifteds with any of the 3 wolves, so we can assume that either all 6 of those with roles are paired with an ord, OR 2 wolves together, 2 gifteds together and then the rest with ords (or some combo of that). How can this help us? I don't know right now, except that I think the Gifteds should feel pretty safe talking to their PM buddies, cause they're probably ords (or even maybe another gifted, but I doubt a wolf). Feel free to lynch me if this assumption turns out to be wrong.

Anyone there??? I'd really rather not have to vote for someone randomly.

Deadline is in... six and a half hours?

I'd say Sally, Wilwa, Glirdan, and alonariel are the wolves. Yes, count four. They all said essentially the same thing.
They entered, then commented on lack of posts, said they were going to be away, then left. Standard wolf characteristics.

X'd with Wilwa.

Heh. You can pay my bills when I skip job hunting to post on WW then.


Anyway, I'm back (for however long my internet holds out) and unfortunately there's pretty much less posts than there are people. This disappoints me.

Izzy, how awesome do you think it is that with 13 posts in like 18 hours we actually managed to cross post? I think it's great!


x'ed with Sally, that is just irony...

Hm... interesting. On what do you base your assertion that gifteds won't be paired with wolves? (Or in other words, whee! I'm gifted! Kill me toNight!)

I like the idea of outing the pm-pals. At least it gives us something to talk about, and I definitely need something to restore my enthusiasm over the disappointing turn of the last game. I'll go first - mine is Izzy. You're all free to believe or disbelieve me as you see fit.

Wilwolf, er, Wilwa, who's your PM-pal?

Hmmmm. I'm not sure I like that idea. I mean there's nothing wrong with it, but I don't see why we necessarily should either. Meh.

The thing that bothers me is that nothing's been said toDay, like at all. If/when I do vote, it will be completely random, and I hate that.


(By the way, I'll be heading to church about three hours before deadline and while I should be back in time to vote I won't guarantee it. So start talking.)

I'm not certain, I just personally think it's very likely. In the admin thread Gwath said that wolves could be paired with ords, he didn't say anything about wolves being paired with gifteds. I just think if he thought to clarify the first as being a possibility then if the second was a possibility he would have clarified that as well. Like he could have said "wolves may be paired with ords or gifteds", but he didn't, he just said ords.

And I'm fine if people want to reveal their PM Pals (it was just a suggestion to get discussion started), but I won't say who mine is cause I'm not sure he'd be ok with that, but if he comes on and sees this and wants to say we're PM Pals then he can go ahead and do that, I won't mind.

I was wondering the same thing, Wilwa. You're may be right, but I don't know how you could be so sure.

Izzy, hm? Well, I would ask you if she's said anything interesting, or, even better, lupine, but then, how do I know you're not a wolf?
This is why I don't see what this gains us. We're flying blind both ways, here and with our PM Pals.

x/d with Nog and Wilwa
