WW LXXX: It's About Time!

[Boromir88]

Do you think it can be converted to be a useful teleportation machine? All these machines, time, teleport, washing, operate on the same equipment. It's just a matter of doing some re-arranging of wires.

[The Elf-warrior]

I doubt it, Boromir. As far as I know, the machine always stays in one place as it travels through time. Therefore, unless we have a super genius like Rodney McKay of Stargate Atlantis here, I'd say we're stuck. But remember, where there's life there's hope, and good thing we've got vittles.

If all we needed was a super genius, we'd be home free. As it happens, we need a super genius who we can trust - different story entirely.

To clarify, before this "I get the hint" thing gets too out of hand....

I was replying to that, hence my request that I sleep before I save the world.

I'll have to vote now as I'm not sure I'll be back later. Yeah, it'll be my worst ever Day One participation but there you go. I might be able to nip in again right before DL.

But let's get a vote on the table, and get the discussion flowing, eh?

++A Little Green

Her post seemed the most obviously nice and 'let's get down to business'y - obviously something a wolf could do to look respectable and not overly jokey.

Yeah, it's a snap decision.

Haha, we're all just so used to you with all your 'I know something you don't know' and other such hintings.

I won't.

Aww, but those are all the things that make Day 1s oh so much fun. And if we had a game with a time machine and no one bantered about it, I'd be very disappointed, cause time machines rock.

But seriousness than. I think Eomer's vote is pretty good (not that I necessarily agree with it). But usually votes this early in the game are just random or based off some strange meta reasoning, but he actually had a legitimate reason, and I approve.

And I agree with this:

Though on Day 1s I tend to be more understanding of lack of suspicions (since sometimes not much happens), but Day 2 and on, it's definitely fishy if someone has no suspects.

Okay, I'm back and as I should have been in bed hours ago I gotta take a quick shot from the hip (and in all fairness any vote at this point is just that).

The Elf-Warrior has only made one post so far but there's just something about the timing and the subject matter and the phrasing of that post that seems a bit sinister to me.

Especially the last part, which I highlighted. There's something potentially euphemistic about that phrase. Possibly veiled wolfish banter. Only one way to find out:

Wilwa is sweet, but I have to say, the wicked vibes coming from her make me think my muffin may be a little past her sell-by date. I'll look at her closer and see why I'm getting that feeling.

I dunno about Pitchie. As Pitchwolf, he's generally Mr. Agreeable with a vague sort of "wise man" air about himself. I haven't seen that so far. If anything, he's been jumping into conflict a teeny bit.

As for Vanilwuffin, I'm beginning to have a pattern of always suspecting her Day 1, so I'm not bothering her until toMorrow.

Personally, I think it's just banter. It came early in the Day and I think someone else had even mentioned food in their banter post earlier.

Fea doesn't look all that bad to me, and I don't really see where this bandwaggon is coming from. Is there something other than the "I'm a wolf" joke post that I'm not seeing?

I'm witholding any ideas about Shasta for the moment - I'll keep an eye on him, but I'm going to wait to actually suspect him.

Oh, and I'm sort of here now.

EDIT: xed with Sallycakes.

Yeah, sorry, I know, quiet. Talking to my mum and super busy now.

It's quite simple, really. Everybody knows that Fea is Teh Vary Bad Eevle all the Tiem.

And if she's not Teh Vary Bad Eevle, then we're better off lynching her, just in case!

Not really, they seem to be wanting to vote for her for being Fea. She's always fun to keep around for a while, so I'd prefer not to see her become an 'easy' lynch on the first Day.

And I'm going to regret that I had said I don't like when people have no suspects....since at the moment I have no suspects.

When is DL exactly? About an hour?

x'ed with Fea, haha

Exactly 52 minutes.

[Boromir88]

I've made it back, and shall be here 'til DL tonight, there may be some nights where I'll have to vote uber early, but not tonight.

And I quite love small, simple villages. Little to catch up on, and no plot twists to spend the day debating, exploding up page counts. Granted it means I can't say some controversial thing that gets most everyone talking about me, as it's more just come in throw out a few jokes, random suspicions, vote, then wrap it up. But, makes for a relaxing change after some craziness.

Blimey. What?!

0100GMT=7pm here, which was twenty minutes ago. Abigail even tells me so! Hence my vote.


(No, I'm not really cross, I just feel dumb for misunderstanding the deadline.)



EDIT: x'd with Boro. And by "hence my vote" I of course mean hence the timing/rushed nature of my vote.

[Loslote]

Bleh. I went through the thread, giving people checks under "wolf", "cobbler", and "innocent", and now the person I suspect most is also the person I trust most. Agan, thank you for confusing me.

Anyways, the only people who got checks under "wolf" are Agan, Vanilwuffin, and Boro. Boro also has three "innocent" checks, however, while Vanilwuffin has one "innocent" check. The only other people of note were Fea, who got a whopping four "cobbler" checks and one "innocent" check, and Eomer and TEWie, who got nothing. I might vote for one of them for being so quiet.

So, how tired I must be: I started writing a post along the lines of "Yay, a suspect, Inzil doesn't contribute all day and when he shows up all he does is give us the DL time". And then I realised why.
