Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
Well, like I said, 1 in 4 of us is a wolf, and you make four posters, Nerwen. So you must be right, one of us must be one. Nilp clearly thinks it's himself.

Kuru claims someone tried to murder him, yes, but do we have any proof? How do we know this isn't just a plot to get us killing each other off for his sick entertainment?
I think we should find Kuru and have a stern talk about the inappropriateness of kidnapping one's party guests. That's what I think.

I'm feeling a bit giddy just posting on the Downs again.

Would I completely be ruining the mood if I immediately launch into strategy and population/role analysis?

If I hadn't a class thrust into me during the time DAY had started, that's exactly what I would've done.

Well, after voting for myself, of course.

My question is, what sort of creature could cause our host and his pet dragon to hide in fear?

Too bad you didn't have time for it. I'm itching to start things rolling.

But the self-vote... Was it just tradition, or an honest tactic? (i.e. You can't be around much at first anyway so may as well die since you'll still be alive in the Dead Thread and it will dodge the chance of a Gifted being offed Day 1... Sort of a noble kinda-sorta-sacrifice.)

I swear, every time I refresh the Mirth forum I think, "Ooo, haven't read that thread!" and nearly click on the Dead Thread.

Am I the only person this is happening to?

Is this your way of asking us to kill you? Because I think ++Nilp's approach might be more effective.

(Also, yes, me too. I'm going to have to be very careful while on my phone so I don't mix up the two threads.)

Well then, since I have permission, I do believe I'll work on a very non-fluffy post.

Meanwhile, my darling boy seems to be settling back in quite nicely. I see you've taken comfort in old habits during this time of tragedy.

Let's keep our focus though, precious. We mustn't lose sight of what's important: Ridding ourselves of these hooligans so we can party!


Full disclosure: ToDay likely will be rather quiet for me, as I have a busy evening tomorrow and am not sure how much I'll be able to (read, remember to) get on the Downs.

Me in a party dress,

That is an admission not a confession in case fervid minds get carried away on Day 1.

Oh Nilp.... Mummie is not cross, just disappointed..

Don't suppose Kuru left breakfast? This is going to be a long haul; I may need bacon aswell as caffeine.

Personally I am loving the idea of empowering the dead! It seems like a very barrow-wightish thing to do, and perhaps it could evolve into a religion of sorts.

If we chose to tie the vote, I doubt that we would risk loosing data for us to analyze at a later stage. After all there is more to pack-behavior and whatnot than voting patterns.

Sorry for the shoret cameo, I will return again later.
