That previous paragraph demonstrates that I am a truly sinister individual. Are you too blind to see the way I explain away something truly sinister about myself? Also, note the way he then diverts attention from himself by making a joking accusation about all the people who haven't posted yet. What we need is a strong leader with manly chest hair. On second thought, we need four strong leaders.
You're not the cobbler, by any chance, Elfie?

That is EPIC!


Okay, furry friends, I have to go to work in a bit. (What is this two pages already rubbish, by the way?!?!) I'll be on a couple times but not for terribly long so I'll see what I can do. Until my return, behave yourselves! ^_^

Hmm. Two pages so early is quite unusual, but I see it's mainly a lot of banter, and questions about the Rules. Still, it's talking, and that's not a bad thing.

I suppose I should check the Admin Thread to see if it says whether votes should be highlighted or not.

Is up, but on my day off I fully plan on going back to the whole sleeping in thing. I just wanted the all-powerful Mod know that indeed I am indeed alive.

*Looks at post count.* Nah, not going to attempt it when I'm feeling curmudgeonly. If someone would kindly post a summary of the activity that would be great. Actually, whoever does post a summary, I will not vote for today.

*Hates shaky, clammering thunderstorms. Returns to snuggling 'neath blankets and curling into a ball.* Wake me in 4 hours please. Whoever does, I won't vote for today either.

It's mostly Lottie and Blind bantering and hashing out the rules. Love you and your curmudgeonly-ness, by the way. I'm on the way to class, but just wanted to let y'all know I'm here.

Well, that won't take long–

Summary.
Banter– Lottie accused everyone of being a wolf, then the Elf-Warrior accused himself, then Lottie voted him, only not really. Etc. Then Blind Guardian asked some questions about the rules, then said "of corpse" he'd be back. Which Lottie thinks is a Freudian slip.

Speaking of which–

This confused me, cause I thought you were being serious for a second, haha.


So, I'm crazy sick right now, and therefore totally out of it. I also have to work today, but will likely not last more then 3 hours and will come home to sleep. So I'll try to be productive later on in the Day, but I don't know how coherent I'll be.

Hope you feel better. Your illness has apparently made you visible in the middle of a WW game!

So, I think it's time we started getting serious.

X number of wolves, depending on how many signups I get (likely to be 3, possibly 4) - with 1 extra nightkill, to be used at any time.
So– we have a super-cobbler. That's bad, very bad– especially as if he knows one wolf he might be able to work out the others.


EDIT:X'd with Zil.
Then, how do the Ranger's powers work? I know he gets an extra protection, but what about the normal variations– can he self-protect? Guard the same person twice?

Just another reason to get rid of whoever looks evil; none of that 'well, it's just the Cobbler so we'll just ignore them' stuff.

The Admin Thread says they can protect anyone with their extra protect, so I would take that to mean themselves too.

Uh, hi folks.

Issabell - As per usual, she will be herself; but I'm kind of disconcerted by her lack of analyzing every little thing, or at least people and their actions. Somehow this just feels off from how I know her. Keeping my eye on her.


This Lottie Person of Which you All Speak - Posts seem really fluff centric; even beyond the usual page one or two stuff; really unnerves me. Maybe I'm just new here and this happens a lot but idk. If I had to guess, out of the fluffer wuffers I'd vote her. Another issue I have with her is she seems to be subtly trying to get dreamed; Makes me think of her as an early likely candidate to be the cobbler. But that's mean and I've been wrong about this **** before. Edit without really editing: What in the hell? I see a lot of posting from you, but it's almost all game mechanics. IT's like you're trying to look helpful without being helpful; I understand giving newbies the ropes but I'd prefer giving them the ropes while providing examples of scumhunting and picking apart posts. You claim we are blind when we are not. There's always something to pick apart and anyone who claims we are shooting blind day one or two is taking the lazy way out when we don't have time for the lazy way o' doing things.

Nienna - I don't like the entire "I'm being suspected day one so of course I'm innocent." comment, but other than that was all business. Still feel uneasy about her, but I'm unlikely to vote her at the moment. Him. It. Edit without editing a thing: Nice vote on someone who hasn't had the time to post yet; classy. What makes me dead weight any more than someone else who hasn't contributed much? Are you protecting someone who's silent?

Blind Guardian and Borimir - Borimir, what exactly do you feel good about with BG's contributions? I really haven't seen much that contributes to the game, despite her post about "getting back on topic" which she promptly didn't do; there have been some game posts since then and she hadn't posted a thing about them. I'm not sure if you're covering for her or not, but you two definitely seem linked together.

My five picks at the moment, meaning I'm voting from this pool.

Out of everyone here, I feel the best voting either Lottie or BG; both don't seem to be putting forth anything of import or bringing much to the thread but a distraction; I don't like distractions. I prefer distractions are dead, in fact, and Lottie really hasn't brought much to the town that I can see.

I really don't like Nienna's entire position on me, but omgus sucks, so I'll just fos her/him/it in return. :P So my vote is going to...

Um. Three votes on Lottie now, and all of them out of thin air?

*shakes head*

Then there's Nienna's vote on Paranoia. I mean, what the–? Since when do we vote n00bs on Day One?

Then, Paranoia's whole long post is just weird. Um... who are you, mate?

Finally, I think the relationship between Paranoia and Nienna is kind of interesting. She votes him/her for no reason, and he/she says

And then votes Lottie for... I'm not sure why, actually.

Paranoia, maybe I'm just being blind, but I'm inclined to think Blind Guardian's mistakes are so mistakey that it makes her unlikely to be a wolf. I think it's more likely she's a cobbler. I'm inclined to believe she's an innocent.

However, I'm getting some faint suspicious vibes from Boromir. In my werewolfing experience, it is common for wolves to bind themselves with an innocent so that if the innocent dies, the wolf is given a patina of innocence and vice a versa if the wolf dies. This could be the nature of a possible connection between Blind Guardian and Boromir, she's innocent, he's hairy.

I have gotten practically no suspicious vibes from Lottie. Morsul's intention not to vote seems out of character to me. I could be wrong. I've only played with him once before. I'm inclinedto think Paranoia is innocent because he's thinking in line with me on Boromir.

I'm not really feeling suspicious of Nienna. I don't blame Xed for voting for me. I haven't been helpful.

Hey, lady I've been gone all day! I have a life you know! And it's not my fault I wasn't on topic. I would have posted all of that in the admin topic if I knew that we had changed topics in the first place! Rude!

3/5 (so far)! Not bad! [/shameless]

Anyway, I'm going to put my vote on BG now, and then go reread the day, and then wander back after reading everything
