Forgive the double post, but now I've got to go too. (Time-zones are tricky things, and it's nearly 3AM.) I'll be back in seven or so hours. Good luck, everyone but the wolves.

Coppermirror seems to be making a point of distancing (her? him?) self from the wolves.

In other news, it's rather a hindrance that there's only one Gifted to help out in this game, as neither Radagast nor anyone else can have any protection during the Night.

I guess the only up side to having a single Gifted is at least it narrows down the chance of a jumpy one looking wolvish and getting lynched. With three baddies to one Gifted, the odds of snaring a wolf on suspicious behavior are better than getting Radagast.

This is true. But another upside is that with so few of us villagers, everyone will be on their toes - large numbers tend to lead to a measure of complacency and reliance on the loudmouths for opinions. It'll be easy to see if someone neglects to put their own thoughts out in favor of joining the bandwagon.

Yes indeed. Smaller villages make it harder on submarines to stay low, as well.

Since Nog isn't here, does anyone want to volunteer to be the official sub-hunter?

I've played the part before, m'lord, and I'm not loath to do it again. Perhaps I'll draw them out with a raucous merry jig or two? You see, I've got to play my original pieces quickly, before my... er, "illustrious companion" nabs them for herself.

Shasta, darling, I'm standing right here, and I'm only tone deaf, you know.


(Seriously, I had no idea the game had started. Ugh.)

Huh? What was that? My pail was filled, you say? Oh, thank you, whoever. Wait, what? Menel was killed? Oh goodness! What a horror!


Will be back in a couple hours' time.

Just keep in mind that you only get the job as long as you stay above water yourself.


Kit strikes me as a bit off, but it's really a thin thing.

I'll probably have to vote in about 3 hours or so. More people showing up could be helpful.
