Ahem!

To inject a modicum of reason into all this insanity ...

It seems to me that the current familial connections are more than sufficient - unless we are to be a village of Lovecraftian description ...

Shouldn't we be saving all this banter for the game? Otherwise we will either have resolved all our differences or be implacably feuding before the game even starts. To make the most of the family theme, I think it best if these issues develop during the game.

And, if not, I propose that lmp open a separate thread for pre-game banter as the current cacophony is cluttering up this thread no end.

Edit: Great job on the chart, Hookbill. That's just what is needed. I didn't even know that I had two daughters before I saw it.

I'm in the best and worst position, as it so happens. To belong to a family will create a certain amount of camaraderie amongst compatriots. The wolves will take advantage of this. It will only harm the innocents. Best to take these ties with little respect to the game and beyond any serious decisions.

Best position: I will not be swayed by emotional ties.
Worst position: I'm beyond everyone else's monkey sphere and will likely be the first choice to lynch. The weird old hermit-y leech collector? Let's be serious here. I'm prime suspect #1. It'll take some sort of level-headed mayor to subdue the angry mob that'll be outside my door every damn night.

I'm beginning to be impressed here. Could we be witnessing the emergence of a new power werewolf player? Only time will tell...

Kath is our only child, huh?

As a family of Ducks in our former lives, I fear that the Uchiha--I mean, Felagund clan might be annihilated early.

Wait: Gurthang, have you been adopted already? If not . . . *goes down on one knee* Will you be my son?

That is . . . freaky.

A room full of monkeys with typewriters will type out Shakespere provided enough random permutations. Or will they...?

Probably not... it's mathematically almost impossible.

Loki · 05-08-2006, 08:29 PM

Not at all-- it's merely so statistically improbable that you would have to be a fool to bet on it. Don't be so quick to put it down.

Okay, I've gotten family offers from Diamond, Jenny, and Nilp. Now what am I supposed to do?

Well, I was thinking about being Diamond's migrant working nephew who came into town to be Jenny's lacky, but now Nilp's thrown a wrench into that plot. Hmm... maybe he'll just have to live without me.

Actually, looking at it all, Diamond's clan and Jenny's family are the largest we've got. Since Nilp's small troop is farther down the 'food-chain', I'll even things out and consent to be his son. Which means I'm Kath's brother and spawn is my mommy. I don't really care how old I am, but if it matters I was/am a handful. Always getting into things, never sitting still, curious beyond all reason... just about everything you can imagine. All I can say is good luck spawn.

Approved. Gurthang, you are Kath's older brother. Single. Eligible. Living in Jenny Hallu's abode. Surely he gets his own room, does he not?

Um, ya know, I'll be the first one killed as tradition dictates. If that's so, why, I need to be a member of this village too! Hmmmm..... to what aspect of it shall I assign myself? I know! I'm Diamond's widowed Dad.

EDIT: I'm in agreement with The Saucepan Man. Now that things have been pretty much ironed out, there will be NO MORE FAMILY CHANGES. Further, do hold off on the familial rancor/feuding/sneakkissing, et cetera, until the game.

Okay... I'll try. There's just such temptation, with Thursday sooooo far away.

Awesome.

On to a serious bit -- are both Days and Nights going to be 48 hours?
