Copying this from the game thread...

To state it clearly, DL is the time of when the Day 1 narration was posted (the one labeled "Expedition Journal - Day 1 Entry", the third post from the top on the game thread). So you should be able to read the time from there if you are unsure. Although I think I have counted the DL time correctly (I don't trust myself in maths, ever, perhaps somebody could verify or correct me).

This is to prevent anybody posting here before the narration is up. NO POSTS HERE NOR ON THE GAME THREAD NOW.

SPECIAL EVENT: A HUMANE DECISION

This is the first of the events I have been mentioning in the game overview. Since it is only Day 1 and there is not much to go with, the team of peaceful scientists has decided not to go with a lynch with the risk of butchering possible innocents.

What this effectively means for the game is that there will be no lynch toDay.

There will be also no Night kill among the players to balance it. Locking up Inziladun in the compartment is merely a narrational tool, it will not have any effect on the game whatsoever (if the person has any Night activities, he can still perform them) and Inziladun would be released at the beginning of next Day.

ToMorrow, the game will resume as normal, and no other cancellations like this will happen for the rest of the game (we'll be lynching and killing people permanently from now on as usual). You can use the Day 1 as a tool for extra information about the people, so effectively, you can consider this "pre-Day 1" and your "real" Day 1 (so to say, in terms of lynching) starts only now. But as you have genuine (or "genuine") votes cast from yesterDay (as nobody knew about this event), you will be able to use them toMorrow as material for analysis - thus, it will be like a Day 1, but with the difference of having already some record from the previous Day to go on with... surely I can leave it now to your minds.

Eurgh, sorry, I messed up and I originally wrote a wrong lynchee - Inziladun is the one as he was the first one to reach the largest amount of votes.

I'd better still check it after myself once... but you have all you need now in any case

Wow, I horribly miscalcalcuated the DL by an hour. I just sent up a post at 4:17 (EST) thinking I was still good and cross-posted with everyone including Legate's DL post. I thought I had another hour, I immediately deleted my post and my apologies.

For future reference as to the legality of voting at :00, did Nerwen's vote count, or not? Because if it did, Mac had the most votes.

Oh my, so somehow I managed to totally forget about this game on Sunday night and then I had the busiest Monday ever. So sorry about that. I will be around on Day 2 though.

Sorry I just got around to putting this up; trudged home and grabbed a sandwich and chips before I posted. Enjoy!

(Oh, and if anyone finds a good video of this actual song lemme know and I'll link it in.)



Legate:
Some wolves just go on,
Hardly caring of titles.
Others just coast through
The game being idle.
But Mnemo’s not like that,
She finds herself suspect
She’d much rather be
In the mod’s Werewolf death list!
Because she’s Fenris Duck!

Lommie:
Sir, if I just point out that

Legate:
Fenris Duck!

Lommie:
It isn't even the first Day!

Sally and Legate:
A Fenris Duck!

Lommie:
There’s been a lynch
She wasn’t in it!

Sally:
Fenris Duck!

Legate:
Just keep in mind
No Night One kill

Sally:
Come on, sing with us, Boro.

Boro:
Um, okay. Ahem….
I guess a Fenris Duck!

Legate:
And that is why I cannot argue

Boro:
Fenris Duck!

Legate:
I’m always busy counting votes

Sally:
Yes, Fenris Duck!

Legate:
'Cause quite unlike
our dear old phantom.

Sally and Boro:
Fenris Duck!

Legate:
I think Mnemo’s a....woman of impeccable taste!
Look at the rules, dear village,
and I think you will agree.
The only opinion that matters
in the Werewolf thread is….me!
So please don't tell me how
Inzil should be dead, or whatever, this or that.
Now go dispose of Mnemo’s body
Maybe make me a nice hat!

Lommie:
Oh boy!

Legate:
Because she’s Fenris Duck!

Lommie and Morsul:
We don't know why we don’t have hoisin

Legate:
Fenris Duck!

Unexpected!Roa:
And now I wish I would’ve stayed

All:
Because she’s Fenris Duck!

Lommie:
It doesn’t matter really
‘Cause she’s still a roasted duck

Legate:
So let the werewolves run amok!

Roa:
I fear the werewolves’ lives now suck

All:
Because she’s Fenris Duck!

Lommie:
Yes, and Sally’s gone quite mad

Legate:
So let the werewolves run amok

Unexpected!Anguirel:
I’m hungry for some crispy duck!

Legate:
Because she’s Fenris- Hey what's going on? She doesn't get a solo!

Sally:
Oh, but I love my duck
You're always there to entertain
I love my duck
You're my favorite little wench
*hums off-key*
Because I love….my….duck

(And at this point real!Sally gets lazy and cuts off the parody, so everyone breaks out into random happy song!)

All:
We love….the….duck!!!!

I just happened to notice this, and it made me happy. *quacks*

In other news, toMorrow will be rather insane for me, so I may not be around all that much. Just giving a heads up because I'd forgotten before.

Apologies for not voting yesterDay– my internet died on me.

And Mith... Awww, come on, let Mnemo be Fenris Duck. Even Legate says the first Day One didn't count!

No. No brainer. If she had been the day one choice I MIGHT have considered it. Being lynched on two days evidence is not the same. And if you think this is a democracy you misunderstand the situation.

Besides that title is by rights Nilp's should he wish to use it since he became a Fenris beast in the Wereducks game. I can't "let" Mnemo be it... she just isn't. This is something that one doesn't seek out it is thrust upon one. You can whine and petition or even channel the spirit of the late Lord Denning but it won't change the situation.
