Clearly here we have a prime example of a closed-minded, unthinking individual who refuses to believe in anything he can't hear, touch, see, smell, or taste. The stars say he's an ordo, but will be on the wrong track most of the game and be lynched Day 5 for his sheer inability to admit he's wrong.

So far I've been about the only person who's done any thinking. All you've done is speak carefully memorized forulas for weak, sentimental people who break down when catastrophies arise. Ha! I am a man of affairs, and know what to in what circumstances.

Firstly, what's a "forula"?

Secondly, what does this mean, cause I honestly don't understand it;

Thirdly, "weak and sentimental"? I knew it. You are one of those incredibly dreary "Show Me" people. Arrrgh. You, sir, are bad for business.

Honestly, some people have no imagination whatsoever.

If you'd care to join me a drink, perhaps we could discuss our friend Gollum and his predisposition to sharp objects and frivolous posting. *waits* What, you expect me to pay? I'm sorry, but I'm a modest, old-fashioned hobbit, and you wouldn't want me to make a spectacle of myself........now would you?



EDIT: x'd with Durie. Night kiddo! Sleep well!

*In a deep understanding growl* I see it all now.

Shasta is in cahoots with that girl! Together seek to plant discord in the Pony by sowing lies and slander! Against me of all people! I was just passing through, too! *Dictator laugh* Well, well, well! They find me ready, they do, they find me ready and waiting! *Goes to supply room and gets weapons* Come everybody! Kill them!

Paranoid, are we? I'm sure a peaceful tradesman such as yourself wouldn't mind people trying to discover your intentions. Perhaps you have something to hide?

I do. My collection of Southron daggers. It's priceless.

One hour into the Day, and already I see plenty of in-character bantering. I hate to disappoint, but my posts won't be nearly as amusing. Because right now it is late and my sleeping pill is kicking in...so surely you can't expect me to think properly until morning.

And while all this banter and in-character stuff is entertaining for the time being, I'm hoping we'll have progressed to some more substantial discussion by the time I return. Day one is always tricky, but using in-character posts as a crutch certainly won't help us.

Going to sleep now, but in the meantime, feel free to help yourself to some pie.

*Stuffs face* Thanks! Talking is hungry work even for a business man like me!

I actually think that the in-character stuff is the real thing.

A typo. It should be: Formula.

To answer that second question:

It means that I know what to do when something goes wrong.
