Billy awoke on the bench in the park...nothing out of the ordinary there...although he would have much preferred to have slept in his car, but who knows where it was parked this time.

Billy sat up and stretched, feeling the bones in his spine crack, which would have felt wonderful any other day had he not been up all night. He slowly stood up, trying to gain his bearings but noticed that his vision was still cloudy....A sign that he was still drunk.

This was going to be an interesting Day.

*shrugs* I really have no Bruce Springsteen knowledge, so IC posting is gonna be slim for me. The best I can do is this, which kinda fits the music theme, though by a different original singer:

This One's For the Wolves

This one's for everyone who's playing werewolf
This game can be so rough, can be so mean
Hold onto, on to your Innocence
Stand your ground when everyone's bandwagoning

This one's for the game

This is for all you wolves in Gwathagor's game
In a little wolf-pack, just trying to get by
Living on, on dreams and Night kills
Wondering where this game is gonna go

This one's for the wolves
Who've ever had a packmate killed
Who've died because a Seer dreamed
We'll lynch you everytime
This one's for the wolves
Who lie without holding back
Who hunt with everything they have
All throughout the game
This one's for the wolves

This is for all you ordos without a role
Throwing votes against suspected wolves
Every bad, bad vote that you make
Makes you seem a wolf yourself

This one's for the wolves
Who've ever had a packmate killed
Who've died because a Seer dreamed
We'll lynch you every time
This one's for the wolves
Who lie without holding back
Who hunt with everything they have
All throughout the game
This one's for the wolves

Yeah, there's also Gifteds (and lovers)
From Seer to Hunter

This one's for the wolves
Who've ever had a packmate killed
Who've died because a Seer dreamed
We'll lynch you everytime
This one's for the wolves
Who lie without holding back
Who hunt with everything they have
All throughout the game
This one's for the wolves
Yeah, this one's for the wolves

Are you trying to say you are a wolf, Loslote? xD

Nonsense. If I was, I wouldn't have made it so hard to tell.

Seriously, though, I wrote that three days or so before the game started.

EDIT: Oh! 500th post! *cheers*

Okay, since this is starting to bore me (aka, the nothingness) and I'm going to have to leave soon (because it's late, there's a really bad wind storm and the power's flickering so I keep losing Internet), here's something to hopefully get people talking.

Morsul is a wolf because Morsul is always a wolf.

Alona and Glirdan are wolves because they posted IC.

Izzy is a wolf because she posted OOC.

Sally is a wolf because she has not made me laugh once this entire game yet.

Nerwen is a wolf because she's employing the only foolproof way of not getting lynched - not playing. Evil!

Okay, defend yourselves. I want plenty of posts when I get back in the morning, because I actually have time this game to read stuffs.

I'd suspect me too if I'd posted a bunch of songs... If history tells us anything it's verse writers tend towards evil or lovers... hmmm

Now Cat knows his Kitty's been untrue
And that she left him for a city dude
But she's so soft, she's so blue
When he looks into her eyes
He just sits back and sighs
Ooh, what can I do, ooh, what can I do?


Poetry, innit?
Not much going on yet, to say the least.

Well, I don't know about all of that, but I think it's safe to say Lottie is indeed a Lover. What do you mean about 'suspecting you if you'd posted songs'? You don't like Lottie's song?

So I won't try the whole IC thing because I suck at RPG and know nothing about Springstein, haha.

This game will definitely be interesting. Most games have 2 teams, the wolves and the village, this game has those same 2 teams but then also all these little mini teams of Lovers. It changes the entire dynamic of the game and so we can't go into this the way we normally would. The goal is the same, kill the wolves, but we can't forget that these wolves have lovers as well so this changes the goals of the wolves and the dynamics of how the wolves' lovers play as well. It makes everything way different then what we're used to, and we have to all keep that in mind.

Wow, this whole thing will get confusing.

What Wilwa said. Heh.


Anyway, Lottie's an innocent because she did a shiny parody (which I was halfway through before I realized I was humming with it lol) and Shasta's cheating on me apparently so he and his precious must be wolves. *nods* Now, to find the other one. Oh, of course! Lottie's right. It must be Nerwen!


Okay, folks, I've discovered the three wolves. We can all go home now. ^_^

Okay, who's got the booze? I have the shotgun. So let's just wrap it and ride the cars into the sunset then.


To be a bit more serious, I think Wilwa raises a good point about the different dynamics this time around. But do we face three baddies as a team and their lovers attached to them individually (where lovers would be of secondary interest to the wolves), three pairs of baddies somewhat independent of each other (working foremostly as a lover pair for themselves), or wolves and their lovers forming a band of six baddies (okay, then we've lost already )...?

Knowing that would make our speculation easier. Gwath!

Although probably not toDay. Today I'll suggest getting rid of a submarine unless something worth trying out comes to the fore. The least damage and a possible jackpot rather than lynching a person who could be of real help or get her/himself caught by talking a lot. An original idea, isn't it?

I'll be back a little later with hopefully some more particular thoughts on things.

Goodness, hadn't even gone that close into it. I'm assuming their role as a Wolf would come before their role as a Lover, but without putting their Lover in harms way in the process. So their priority is a wolf win, but they would not harm their love in the process of obtaining that goal. But it could be the other way around as well...

because the traditional Lover role is that all they want is to be standing alive at the end of the game together, no matter which side wins. So wouldn't that make the goal for all of us, since we are all Lovers at this time, to be left standing at the end with our love? If that is the case, which I'm undestanding it to be, then it all depends on individual pairs, a wolf-wolf pairing, a wolf-innocent pairing, or an innocent-innocent pairing would all have different goals in attempting to survive til the end. So we may all at this time have the same primary goal (survive to the end with our love), but our secondary goals (which side we want to have win) is all dependent on what our role is and what our Lover's role is. Unless those two goals are intended to be the other way around and our Lover role is not intended to take priority, that's something Gwath needs to clarify I suppose....

Though once people start dying then Lover pairs will be torn apart, changing the goal of the Lover left behind from wanting to survive to the end -> to wanting their side to win, since now their role's goal is all that matters and their Lover goal is insignificant.

Goodness......

x'ed with Nog, going to check out discussion thread...
