Fare thee well, Shasta.

Noooo. Heading in that direction is baaaad. I'm sure Sally's disclaimer from the end of Day 1 still stands:

It's not about that, it's about having enough backbone to say you think this person looks the most guilty. Regardless of how uncertain you are, that's who you should vote for, right? It's just too much of a cop-out to say that you don't really think the person is guilty while you vote for them anyway.

Of course I'm one to talk right now after my vote yesterDay... I do wish I had gone with Lommy or Mac just to stick to some standards, but...wasn't sure when I posted where Brinn was going and if Gwath's vote counted (until he came back and re-posted it).

How? His only points as far as I recall were that supposed 'slip', which I must say makes me feel great that everyone has so much confidence in my intelligence and ability to control my fingers (apparently my sense of humour does not translate well to keyboard...my 'ranger' roleplaying that wasn't actually supposed to be a ranger-type is enough proof of that I suppose), and that it is apparently suspicious to look at votes made so far in the day if they are less than a certain number greater than four.

Well, except I'd expect (heh) that would have been hinted at in the narration. I guess if we really want to stretch it we could say that maybe the werebear just forgot to send in a kill or can't kill every night but I think that would be stretching it too far.

So I can remember excatly where a quote is on a page for a paper but fail to remember rules. That does make more sense though.

True, so we probably aren't dealing with a bear.

Like I said before, no gender clues in the narrations, kiddos. It's pretty much random, though I believe I stated that I'm referring to all the were-ducks as female, barring perhaps the occasional typo. (I put in the clues about Shasta because he was effectively killed when Mira was)

If there is a ranger save it will be put in the narration, so never fear. As for the werebear question itself, I plead the fifth. You'll just have to find out.

Oh wonderful Moddess we need to stop cross posting.

Easy there, Miss Phantom wannabe.

Heh I know. Well, every game needs a player that continuously crosses with the mod/moddess so I guess you win. How would you like your trophy and platter of cookies shipped?

Rikae · 03-20-2009, 11:18 AM

Gah, I can't believe you all missed the fact that Shasta wasn't among the living and Sally had to end up telling you. I noticed it right away; too bad I overslept. Oh well...

Mac's new sig- awww, poor Mac. *hug* *proceeds to annoy him further*

Well, I think I know Fea, Mith, Nerwen and Phantom's assignments - which is, of course, no help at all, since it doesn't mean they don't also have more sinister roles.

Nog, don't worry, you can say it - if I don't have a special posting assignment, I have a role. (don't care who knows it, I'm not gonna play your gosh darn game! I ain't saying I'm better than you are - but maybe I am...*)

I actually think too much speculation on the reasons for the kill, at least with a kill like this, is cobblerish. Why? When I'm a baddie, I pretty much always choose a "trail-less" kill (and it doesn't hurt me to say so, since most baddies do the same) unless there is someone screaming gifted. This is not so much because I'm afraid of a trail leading to me - it could always be a bluff - but because it's easy to hide in a village full of loudmouths who are constantly bickering. Yeah.

*person who recognizes this gets cookies. Macaroons.

Well I'm around but I was going to talk about the fact that sally had said there would be no clues in the narration so looking at pronouns seems pointless and also that surely if there was a werebear and it's kill had been thwarted by a Ranger that would surely be in the narration. However, I just read the post in which sally said all that so now I feel that is rather superfluous. As I have little more to say right now though I thought I'd post it anyway!

That's my kind of a lass!

But really. Has anyone actually tried to advance our duckhunt toDay? Anyone?

Where are the suspicons, accusations, theories or points that rise your eyebrows and actually are targeted at someone?

Do you really think we can get anywhere if people continue playing like this on a general level? We're on Day2 already so there should be no excuses concerning the lack of stuff to read and think.

I'm off to eat and we shall share the computer, Lommy & me, today. Just fyi.
