Meeting at the Town Cobbler (WW XCV game thread) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nogrod · 04-16-2012, 04:02 PM

Bleurgh....

Heh. I realised I was a goner immediately when people came in ten minutes before the DL.

Had I been like you others I would be alive.

So part of what I said was not noly bluff but actually true.

Rikae · 04-16-2012, 04:03 PM

Ok, read this flurry of posts, and I still don't know what's going on.

Rikae · 04-16-2012, 04:07 PM

Except that Lottie didn't post until I said Nog was reaching, then jumped on it and voted that way.

And now that I have a chance to think about it it looks no better than Nog's behavior did in the first place.

It makes sense that the game might be slow on the first day when some people didn't realize we had started, but yet another day of this - I don't like it either. I wasn't home much of the day myself, but it's not just me - this looks like a second Day 1.

Nog, pack your bags. You may or may not be leaving momentarily.

I have to get my dice.

Nogrod · 04-16-2012, 04:05 PM

Sally: there are five vote for me. No need to take the dice... as three votes won't change anything against five.

Never mind. I missed Rikae's vote upon first glance.

No word from Shasta yet, so I'm guessing his internet access is still kaput.

You're right though. The silence is painful and empty and lets people stay alive unseen. If Shasta's a wolf, I'll be annoyed.

Rikae · 04-16-2012, 04:10 PM

Even though I agree with Mac and Inzil on Night-posting, I believe I'll stick around and talk just in hopes of having some kind of actual game here.

Eönwë · 04-16-2012, 04:11 PM

I'm going to retire to my room for a while now, I expect to see that there has at least been some decent discussion by the time I return.

Nogrod · 04-16-2012, 04:15 PM

As I seem to not be dead yet...

How about you do something about it? Just a hint.

I mean this was the worst game I have ever played (nothing against you Sally). 140 posts in three playing-days! And many have just one or two posts... Really? A game? Not.

EDIT: Okay Sally has reached the conclusion I suppose? Off then I am. Try to have more fun the next Hours, fex. by playing the game.

satansaloser2005 · 04-16-2012, 04:25 PM

In the Cobbler:
Rikae

McCaber (guest, expelled for hogging the almonds)
Nog (committee member, rescheduled his flight)
Agan (guest, found the night's entertainment to be pretenders)

Rikae · 04-16-2012, 04:33 PM

Scratch that, this strategy seems to be working.

I'll say.

Well! I think we got more votes than yesterday, thought that isn't saying much. Greenie and Mac missed voting, the former for the second consecutive Hour, I believe. Shasta too, but at least his absence is explained. Where the blazes is everyone? Tied up in the basement?

Shastanis Althreduin · 04-16-2012, 07:47 PM

Hi guys. I don't know if Sally told you, and I don't know if I should be posting this on the admin thread, but we had some extremely bad weather about two days ago, and I only just got internet back recently. I'm still excited to play, but if you guys feel like you need to lynch me because I haven't been here at all yet, I'll totally understand if you want to do that. If not, I'll actually be playing now, although I'm not sure what phase we're in. If this is a Night phase, then I got the impression we shouldn't be talking much?

Inziladun · 04-16-2012, 07:56 PM

Good to know you made through that patch of rough weather, Shasta!

This is the "Night" phase, but we're allowed to talk. There hasn't been as much activity thus far as one might expect, as a perusal of the thread thus far will reveal.

There have been some interesting events, though.
