And if I may be permitted to double post, let me agree that I hate day 1, with all its data deficient confusion. And that the only thing I dislike more than day 1 is random voting on day 1 if there's a chance to vote for someone truly suspicious.

Discuss away!

Sure, Roa; "Caran" works for me

I guess those of us who have posted thus far have reached the general consensus that dreamers should be cautious and use their own discretion in deciding whether or not to come forward.

So... er, anyone have anything other thoughts on how best to kill those orcs? I'm fresh out of thoughts...

Actually, I keep inviting Roa to come sing while I'm playing, but she always says she's busy. I've noticed people always stay away from me when I'm playing my harp (I don't get why!). Maybe I'll play it all night to keep the wereorcs away...

Thanks.

If you need it, I could make a discussion thread for you once the game goes off. Granted, you could easily do the same, but it's the thought that counts.

Well, we could chop off their heads. Or stake them through the heart. Or pelt them with rocks. Or drown them. Or set them on fire. Or we could lock them in a room with you while you play your harp.

Or did you mean how to discover them? Right now, beats me. The Shaman got to kick things off with a dream, though, so maybe s/he knows something already and can hint to us. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled.

(That's an idea, we could also peel their skin off! Mwah ha ha ha!)

Well, unfortunately, I have expertise in the wereWOLVES area, not the wereORCS.

I will be back on the morrow with more. For now, I need to go lay down due to this dratted timezone disease. It's really quite a pain and I wish I could cure it, but alas! that cannot happen. For now, discuss away.

These are not good times for the village. Three wereorcs about, and poor Farael gone? Hmmm…at least I know that I will have something to study in an age or so, although those colors might have interfered with the integrity of the sampling. It can be a tough thing, being a paleoelfrolpologist, especially with us elves being immortal and all. I guess I should just stick with artifacts.

I think that the method proposed in which dreams are not revealed daily would be advantageous. People ought not reveal their dreams, or at least not until much later in the game.

Oh, what a foul way for our brilliant alchemist to pass! Such a brave elf was Farael, always skipping rocks of sodium on ponds just to bring joy to the faces of younger elves. Sure, there were times when the young ones would get too close to the scene, but that is all part of the learning experience. But let me not prate. Though anecdotes flood my head, I shall only say that our dear Farael will be sorely missed.

Concerning the dream, it's difficult to determine what exactly the dreamer should do because the situation is a double-edged sword. As already stated (sorry I'm repeating almost everyone's thoughts), the dreamer may practice discretion and wait until an appropriate time to give away hints (or the entire dream), and may be killed before revealing it...and on the other hand, if the dreamer tells us the dream, s/he will most likely be killed if the dream is incriminating. I know this isn't much help, so I will just say that I agree with Caranlondien in that we should act how we see best fit, given the situation.

Sorry for the tardiness. I have been away from my garden all day and have just returned. Hmmm....poor poor Farael. He rather enjoyed my flowers and used some species in his experiments. I will gather a bouquet straight away and place it beside his head stone after he receives a proper burial.

Dang blasted Wereorcs, wolves etc!! I would like just one time to relocate to a quite village that stays quite--without something or someone turning into a horrid creature*sigh*. Alas, I am here now and will assist the villagers in any way possible in order to rid yet another place of such foul beings.

Now without reiterating every word....I agree that those whom are granted a dream should not reveal the dreamt of. They should use their discretion and reveal only when they think the time is right. I also agree that the Orcs could very well use that to their advantage and clean out the village one by one.

Since it is quite early in Day 1 and it being Day 1, I do not have suspicions as of yet. I will return in about 9 hours and hopefully come up with something. G'Night all.
