Meeting at the Town Cobbler (WW XCV game thread)

I remember the last time there was this kind of twist, I was a wolf then, and I think it was one of the most challenging things I have done as a wolf; trying to accomplish something when given the opportunity to PM someone but being soo afraid not to reveal my lupine interests that in the end it turned out just whimsy good-for-nothing...

So it is a hairy thing... also to the wolves.


But yes, I kind of like that opportunity as it gives a new level to try and find something. It's one more new piece of "evidence" anyway - like lies in the court are evidence as well as true accounts - or the lawyers' traps.

Returned, I see. Care to say what happened? Then again, we might not want to know.

Thankfully, folks have begun to show up, so it appears to be a non-issue now.

It still seems risky to me. If you don't know the alignment of the one you're talking to, should you be honest with thoughts and suspicions, or not? The baddies have the advantage because they know more about the other than vice-versa.

Hm. She said she might be all right with no one dying toDay, which on the surface looks rather like an innocent. Still, there is a difference between talking about something and having to act on it.

I haven't seen anything to suggest lynches go on in the Night phase, but maybe we'll get clarification all the same.

I thought our influence was through our votes.

Same here. I guess I'll just roll with it and see what develops.

Courts and lawyers, eh? As if I needed another reason to foment my mistrust here.

Please be advised of storms in the immediate area. For your safety, we ask that you stay inside the Cobbler until such time as the storm passes. If you have any concerns, members of the staff will, of course, be happy to assist you.


(The power's flickered a couple of times here, so if my phone dies I won't be around to call DL. As of now, it shouldn't be a problem, but I wanted to let you all know anyway.)

[Nogrod]

Btw. did the Day (hour) start six minutes late, 54 minutes early, or something completely diffferent?

I had had the understanding the DL would be something like in the early hours of the day for us here on the east coast of the pond, but if the DL is in about two hours (1AM here), then it makes a huge difference to me as it means I can be around, at the DL at least on some days...


Be as it is, it has been probably the quietest Day1 I remember. And I admit I'm part to blame myself as well. My thoughts have been on the pile of essays - and will be for the next two days.

I need to be away for a while now but I'll be back in an hour or so and hopefully there is a game going on then...
