Do balrogs have wings?
They have shadows that are suspiciously in the shape of wings. Whether or not they function is still up for debate.
Where do hobbits come from? (I'll at least be clean. Lol.)
The grow out of the ground.
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Not that much. They actually have very poor dental plans.
How many roads must a man walk down?
As many as it takes to make it to the end of the world.
Why is the sky blue?
Because if it was green people would confuse it with the grass.
What's 48,589,294 time 598?
29,056,397,812
What is the speed of dark?
Duck times post office squared.
Why do fools fall in love?
Because natural selection hasn't kicked in quite yet.
Paper or plastic?
Jello.
Which came first? The chicken or the egg?
The pineapple which spawned everything.
What does Santa do if you don't celebrate Christmas?
Still sneaks into your house and tries to steal cookies and milk.
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
More than any normal person would want to take to get to the center.
Inconceivable! Does that word mean what you think it means?
I do believe that it does.
Why can't a sonic screwdriver undo a deadlock seal? Could it do a livelock seal? Or a livestock seal? A seal of approval? The seal of the President? A harp seal?
Because it is not a deadlock screwdriver. It can, however, undo the lock on Sonic the Hedgehog's hut.
Why couldn't I think of better questions?
Because you're silly.
Will you still let me play after this?
Mmmm...we'll see how it goes.

Cookies, please.

Roa_Aoife · 10-25-2009, 09:28 PM

The deadline will be rough, as I won't make it for the first half of the day, and probably won't be around for dl. I need to sleep, you know.

Roa_Aoife · 10-25-2009, 09:30 PM

Oh, 12am EST is 4am GMT.

So something like 6am Finnish time? Wonderful. In other words, sing me in

- but with a questionmark. I'm sort of getting symptoms of missing ww, but on the other hand, I'm not sure if I have time...

wilwarin538 · 10-26-2009, 06:55 AM

DL is perfect for me, and not starting til after friday is perfect for me.

and Poe is perfect for me

**The Saucepan Man** · 10-26-2009, 07:28 AM

Hmm, I am not particularly familiar with Poe but I am hungry (like the wolf) for more WW games and I do like a game with a Werebear, so count me in.

I may be misunderstanding this, but doesn't this mean that circumstances can arise which can give the village a significant advantage?

It's not great for me, as it will I think be 5am for me by the time the game starts. But it appears to suit the majority, so I will just have to vote a little bit earlier than I normally would.

Mira can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we talked about this and they are allowed to protect someone for two nights in a row but no more than that. I also think that after the village is only down to one kill a night then the Ranger can no longer protect a person more than once.

Does that sound more a little more even?

PM me your address and cookies you shall have, m'dear. May be a while, though.

Morsul the Dark · 11-03-2009, 11:05 PM

Well slip up on day one but I have faith Go Village!

Mirandir · 11-04-2009, 11:44 PM

Morsul, I promise your death scene is coming soon! Hakon, I might end up redoing yours to make it a bit more epic. That is all.

Inziladun · 11-05-2009, 09:59 AM

Participation will be somewhat iffy for much of toDay due to a busy work schedule. I should be able to be around more a few hours before DL.

Pitchwife · 11-05-2009, 05:47 PM

Sorry, but I have to announce that I won't be able to participate at all on Day 3. My wife and me will be attending a weekend course for beginning dog breeders on Saturday and Sunday, which I'd conveniently forgotten about when I signed up for the game, and I didn't realize until today that Sat/Sun will be Day not Night

. I'll be back alive (hopefully) and kicking on Day 4.

Mirandir · 11-05-2009, 09:43 PM

Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, wilwa has informed me that she will no longer be able to play.

Her death will come when I get around to writing it.

Roa_Aoife · 11-06-2009, 08:35 AM

I have company visiting from out of town, so my participation, particularly tomorrow (Day 3) will be sporadic at best. Since the company is Craydon,I'm sure he'll understand if I pop in and out periodically, but that will be the best I can do.

Morsul the Dark · 11-09-2009, 11:03 PM

I'd like to point ouSally and Mccab are still in the "Living list"

Nice to see Nerwen sporting one too.

Cool! That would have been a guess (considering it's near Veteran's Day around here) but I thought it strange that the two of you would both have it, since it just popped up recently. Very nice, and kudos on the spirit.

Speaking of spirit, I now am one, so I should drift away again....

Pitchwife · 11-11-2009, 05:17 PM

The suspense! I'd say it's killing me, if I weren't dead already...

I'd second that, only it does look pretty obvious who's going to win now. *sigh*
