Oh. My. Giddy. Aunt. Yes please!!!!!

(But now there's no way to shut Phantom up. Oh, bugger. )


Excuse me, I have to go bash my face against a brick wall for an hour due to the trainwreck that was yesterDay's voting. Feel free to relieve me of my position in the game while I'm gone.

(Off to reread the Day now, to see what I can see)

I'm actually heading for bed so I'm not going to post properly until tomorrow (RL) but I just wanted to pop in quickly with a couple of things. Firstly to complain about the fact that someone finally had the guts to kill off phantom first Night and it didn't succeed! I know he's a help to have around when innocent but surely this is just going to make his ego even bigger?

Quote:
I haven't said much new because by the time I think of something three posts down someone has already said. While I can go along agreeing with everyone it seems rather silly.
I'm completely with you on that one Lariren!

Anyway, see you in a few hours.

Short comment now. More to say later.

I don't know if he's always like that and I've just usually ignored it but those are the things I immediately connected his comment to.
But Aganzir, we've been wolves together once: you know that, when evil, I give every effort to appear the exact same way I do when innocent...

Hey everybody: Is it another 48 hour day? Or was that a one-time thing?

Lariren: Hey, you don't have to apologize for being defensive. You've got the right to explain your thought process and you're totally right about posting in agreement and all that.

The Wild Man brought up some valid points about Brinn, too, which really makes me want to do a huge Menel recap. Unless anyone says they mind, I'm gonna clog the thread again.

Agan - It's just my read on him. Bowie's doesn't seem intimidated by more experienced players, and since TP wasn't a huge subject of discussion on Day 1, aside from his cryptic playing with Fea, it might've seemed like as good a time as any to remove the threat. That said, Bowie's post today helped me understand his logic, and I understand his reason for not voting, so I feel slightly better about both him and Lariren now that I've read more of them. Cailin still not so much.

Give Fea some credit. She's a tricksy back-stabber if I ever saw one. She would totally play along with a ploy and then kill me. Especially if she thought the ploy was real. Or a cover for a gifted (Seer pretending to be the Divo pretending to be a Lover).
*shakes head* Seer pretending to be the Divo pretending to be a Lover. That right there is why the two of you are far better players than I.

Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more!

Post 32 - Menel:
Quote:
I'm here, though I don't have a whole lot to say. I wouldn't vote out the tricksy ones, devious though they may be. And our good phantom hasn't really said much yet, so there's nothing to go on for him either.
Post 36 - Agan:
Quote:
Hi Menel. What about voting you out so I can get all the baddie roles?
Post 37 - Wild Man:
Quote:
Menel - Why not drive out tricksy headache-maker? Someone must die. We know not who is critic. Ergo, it best to kill tricksy folk. They as likely as anyone to be critic, but if not, at least townsfolk remove headache. Townsfolk then can think clear.
Post 40 - Menel:
Quote:
Oh, hello Aganzir.

Come now, who between us would be the best baddie anyhow, a human from the White City or someone who can drive people to mass panic by screeching?

And as for the guy who be tarzan, I suggest he take a bath. But to be honest, yes, some of the crazies could stand to be more helpful. Talk of triple-lynching can be risky, even as a joke. Thankfully, we wraiths lack a sense of humor.

Post 51 - Nogrod:
Quote:
Making the point that a triple lynch (anyway we only can make a double-lynch) might be risky... hmmm... to whom at this point? For the critics themselves I think... one lynch and we probably end up with a fine and innocent singer toDay; a double lynch... the odds to bring down a critic get better... or at least the critics should have more to fear at this early hour if that option is open.

Anyway: confessedly lacking a sense of humour? A well known trait of music-critics over the whole wide world. Artists have fun, critics are grumpy, everyone knows that.
Post 62 - Agan to Menel:
Quote:
See my avatar. He's my pet and he sings better than you.
Post 64 - Menel:
Quote:
I agree with the phantom about the cobbler being dangerous. We really need to get him early before he dreams of one of us. Of course, it is also possible that the phantom himself is the cobbler trying to divert attention off of himself by his aggressive stance, so I don't think we can rule anyone out there.
Post 68 - Bowie:
Quote:
This early? I'm not so certain. I don't think that the phantom would play that...strangely right out of the gate.

Cobbler-sneak is a problem, but I don't think that the cobbler-sneak is a Day 1 problem. I think it's a Day 2 problem. And then we kill them.
Post 73 - Wild Man:
Quote:
Wild Man feel phantom speaks logic. But phantom indeed tricksy. Menel correct, perhaps phantom cobbler. But Wild Man believe not.

Of course I'm the Cobbler. Mwu ha ha!

Post 92 - Menel:
Quote:
So you don't trust me, Mac? Understandable, considering it's Day One and the bad guys are tough to find, but is there anything in particular that you found odd?
Post 94 - Mac:
Quote:
Menel - too careful and thus suspicious.
Post 107 - Brinn:

Menel: I feel pretty good about what he's said so far.
Post 112 - Mac:
Quote:
I have to say I'm a tad disappointed at the meager number of auditions that took place while I was asleep, and more than a tad disappointed at their meager content. I was hoping to see a little bit clearer this morning, but that is not the case. With nothing better to go after, I will probably vote Menel.
Post 113 - Wild Man:
Quote:
Menel - Too careful. Wild Man wary of him. Cast Cobbler suspicion on phantom, perhaps he want deflect attention?
Post 116 - Fea:
Quote:
Meneltarmacil - I don't know.

Post 118 - Boro:
Quote:
This might sound hypocritical, but whatever, as far as Menel's carefulness - that doesn't make him look suspicious. Every single time I get a funny feeling early on about Menel, precisely because he is careful. But the one time Menel was a wolf, he was a bit more defensive. His two statements about having no humor because he's a Nazgul and:
"Oh, and don't suspect me based on the fact that I'm a Nazgul. I just happened to find this ring in a Cracker Jack box. How was I supposed to know it was one of the Nine?"
This just doesn't look like a Menel of any evil kind (critic or cobbler). He's cleared for today.

(But now there's no way to shut Phantom up. Oh, bugger. )~sally
We could attempt to lynch his ghost - I mean theoretically he's already dead and we wouldn't be losing another innocent body - just a loud uncorporeal voice. We'd have to devise another way of course, I've never heard of a lynched ghost before - we could try garlic? Wait, wrong thing.

Quote:
Fea - Again, speak much, say little. This vote worst than Gwath, for Gwath formerly suspect Nog, whereas Fea not formerly suspect, or even at time suspect Menel, and push bandwagon. Wild Man suspicious.~tgwbs
I disagree, the only odd thing I've found about Fea is she hasn't been calling for my death. That's rather unusual, but other than that she's been Fea like...speaks in riddles, impossible to follow, seems to take an unnatural pleasure in chaos, but overall very Fea. I'm waiting on one more thing from her, if I see it, I would bet she's innocent, if not - well you can guess.

Quote:
While I can go along agreeing with everyone it seems rather silly. Even though people think I do it anyway.~Lariren
Keep on keepin on, as a wise man liked to say. If you agree with something, agree with it, that doesn't make it silly. Makes it rather redundant. The more ideas said, the more pressure that is placed on someone and that can prove their innocence, or their wolvery. (Note: this is 100% biased because I like chatter - and lots of it)

Edit: xed since tp
