Or if the Sons lose then all the orcs can say, "Ha- I chose my rep well, didn't I?" And that would be fun as well.

Nar, too much power in the hands of one Orc isn't desirable. What's head-shaking is that you've already gotten two votes with your antics.

I was wondering that myself! Seems to know more then he should.....

Right. Isn't it better to hold off and see what everyone has to say before making such an important decision? And actually, we aren't bound to voting anyone for rep, I don't think, even though it's a power we should exercise. If one doesn't have time to wait and examine everyone before voting though, I think not voting is the better option, as long as one has a very good excuse for not doing so.

There's an idea!

Wolves? They're our friends!

Erm....I'd originally thought we had more gifteds than that, actually. Sorry. o_O

Still, since I won't be back much toDay, I figured I'd give my Day One vote to someone I trust to at least be interesting and whom I think will be good to keep around.

That and I love her to pieces, yes I do. <3

Edit: X'ed with Phantom.

Well there's half of the SoE right there. That's a clear hint. Clear.

Have you heard the news?

Classic voice-over

Sped up version

Just for Sally

And this is why I love you, dear.

Well, thanks. At least now I know who NOT to vote for in the future.

Really, Lommie, is that attitude necessary? I mean....really?


I have to go, as I'll be late for work otherwise. Phantom, darling, do right by me, okay?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I am not evil! I am just a very serious case of negative social inheritance!

Anyways isn't this an awfully predictable start to our struggle? Already some orcs chose the path of placing a loud-mouth in the centre of attention. . . seriously, let him work a bit for the attention!

I'll return with as soon as I have mustered enough energy to read Legate's no doubt dreadful post.

[Glirdan]

As much as I would love to do some IC bantering, I will not...much too tired as I just got in from work...yay....

I agree with this, yet at the same time, it gives people more of a chance to vote thus eliminating the "I didn't have time to vote" excuse. If this ever happens, then we at least have something to look at.

As for all of the phantom as rep business, I'm not sure what to make of it yet. All I know is my gut is telling me not to vote for him.

I don't know what to make of most things right now because I'm utterly exhausted and probably need some sleep...or at least coffee. I'll be around.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I got around to read Legate and Lommy's posts and I hate to admit it, but they where not complete trash.

Legate's post is interesting/funny because he doesn't want to discuss The Phantom, but is forced to due to previous events. Besides from that his reasoning is very sound and hard (for me) not to agree with.

Lommy I really like. She is annoyed, bitter and straightforward, very unusual for her and I like it. It is like we have a new and improved Lommy.

Good point.

Well, anyone should think twice before voting him for representative now. I mean, with two votes he already is a representative, and it would be very rash to give him more power by making him a powerful representative when the Day is still in the beginning and no one else has received any rep votes.

I think I will get fed up with these jokes in not so distant future...

Is that attitude necessary? What do we gain by voting carelessly and meanwhile boosting tp's ego? (Sorry tp that I keep bringing you to these arguments like this but these guys are trying to buddy up to you by stroking your ego.) And sorry Sally (and Lottie) if I have offended you, that was not my intention and I still heart you - but you do act very sillily in my opininon.

But if Sally is genuinely offended, then I'd say she's more innocent than guilty.


edit: xed with Rune

So I'm improved when I start bitching? Wonderful.

In my opinion, yes!

Of course a change of attitude could also indicate sinister motives, but so far I have no reason to believe that this is the case.
