Admin Thread for WWLXXI: Something in the Night

[Gwathagor]

"...an American-provincial world of a guy, a girl, and a car hurtling into the night, fleeing time itself." ~From critic Stephen Holden's review of Bruce Springsteen's record, The River.

The subject matter of this game happens to be rather far afield from Tolkien, even more so than usual, as I'm basing the game on the music of Bruce Springsteen - primarily his first three or four albums. If you are a dedicated listener of Springsteen, you'll be familiar with his use of recurring characters, phrases, and themes. I've tried to condense these down into a werewolf game that captures something of that sweeping story arc which sits just underneath the surface of Bruce Springsteen's hit songs and which reveals itself piece by piece if you take the time to listen to his albums straight through. Springsteen is essentially a story-teller, and I wanted to see if I could make draw out that basic story which underpins most of his albums, using his own cast of characters.

So that's the idea behind the game.

A knowledge of Springsteen's music is not necessary, and it may or may not help you catch the wolves, but at the very least it will greatly enhance your enjoyment of the game. I particularly recommend listening to anything from the albums The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle, Born to Run, and Darkness on the Edge of Town. If you have time, listen to the album Greetings of Asbury Park, N.J. as well.

There will be 12 or 14 players, 6 or 7 non-traditional lover pairs, 3 (?) wolves, 1 seer, 1 ranger, and 1 hunter. All roles may be male or female.

Lovers: All players will have a lover counterpart with whom they can correspond via PM at all times. Ordos and wolves may be paired up. Unlike normal lovers, the lovers in this game will be able to survive if their counterpart is killed.

Seer (The Dreamer): normal

Ranger (The Angel): normal

Hunter (The Highwayman): normal

Wolves (The Betrayer, The Killer, The Lawman): normal. I think 3 is a good number, but if we get lots of players, I can add a fourth without any trouble.

Here's the list of characters. When you sign up, please choose one. Male, female, doesn't matter. Choose whoever you want.

Male
Johnny 99 - Nogrod
City Dude - Inziladun
Jimmy the Saint - Morsul
Gypsy Biker - Shasta
Bad Scooter - Isabellkya
Wild Billy - Glirdan

Female
Mary - Rikae
Crazy Janey - Alonariel
Boardwalk Sandy - Sally
Rosalita - Loslote
Jersey Girl - Wilwarin
Wendy - Lariren

Ok, folks, I think that's everything for the time being. Post away.

[Loslote]

I'm in! I won't be around over the weekend, but that shouldn't be a problem. (If it will be, tell me so and don't sign me up.) I'll be Rosalita. :)

[satansaloser2005]

Barefoot girl raising my hand and wiggling my toes to sign up! :)


ETA: When's the DL, good sir? Or is it up for discussion?

[Mirandir]

When would we be starting? I need to get back into this shenanigans.

[Inziladun]

I won't be much help in knowing the music, but count me in as City Dude.

[alonariel]

Can you sign me up as Crazy Janey?

And Lari, currently inebriated, would like to be signed up as Wendy.

Thanks! Lari would also like you to know that she now has water.

I demand video of this. :p


I'm going to see if I can bribe Mnemo or Tum into playing too. :D

I'm sending you a video of Lari interacting with Rune right now. Be prepared for a random video message from an obscure area code.

Oooo I'm excited. ^_^

[Gwathagor]

Dang, forgot about deadline. How does 9:00 PST suit everyone?

We'll start as soon as we have enough players.

[Loslote]

am or pm? Either way, it works fine for me. :)

[wilwarin538]

I'd like to join in as Jersey Girl please!!! As long as the game doesn't start until Sunday! :D

Oh, and I know nothing about Springstein sooooo....my in-character stuff might suck. :rolleyes:

[Nogrod]

Could I be "Johnny 99" from the album Nebraska? That's my favourite record of the Boss... Replace the Spanish Johnny with it or something?

If that's not okay, I'll be the Magic Rat...

[Gwathagor]

Oh. 9:00 PM PST.

Johnny 99 it is!

[alonariel]

Shasta, my husband, would like to be signed up as Gypsy Biker.

[wilwarin538]

Shasta, my husband, would like to be signed up as Gypsy Biker.

hehe *likes*

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Shasta, my husband, would like to be signed up as Gypsy Biker.

This is true.

[Glirdan]

And what am I, chopped liver!? :Merisu:


Anyways, it has been incredibly too long since I last played a werewolf game. And no I don't mean a real life Werewolf game...although those are quite entertaining at times!! :D

Anyways, count me in as Wild Billy.

[Gwathagor]

Excellent.

[Rikae]

Signing up as promised (though I don't know much about Springsteen). I'll be Mary.

[Isabellkya]

I'd like to sign up as Bad Scooter, please. xD

[Gwathagor]

Lovely to have you two along. :)

[autume98]

I'd like to play if there's still room. I can be Sandy. I won't be around for this weekend however. So if that's going to be a problem then you don't have to sign me up. Thanks.

[wilwarin538]

Are we starting soon or do we still have to wait for one more person?

[skip spence]

At some point I should like to play a ww game and the Bruce Springsteen theme looks promising. Will be very busy for a couple of weeks though so it might be difficult after all...

[Gwathagor]

Are we starting soon or do we still have to wait for one more person?

One more person.

[Morsul the Dark]

I told myself I wouldn't do it...but what the hey I'm in

[Gwathagor]

I told myself I wouldn't do it...but what the hey I'm in

Great. Would you like Jimmy the Saint or the Magic Rat?

[wilwarin538]

mwahahaha, does this mean we can start soon??? :D

[Glirdan]

mwahahaha, does this mean we can start soon??? :D

I'm in total agreement here!! I'm itching to play again!! :D

[Gwathagor]

mwahahaha, does this mean we can start soon??? :D

Yeah. I'll give Morsul until this evening to settle on a character and then we can start this weekend. Let's try to start Saturday evening. Good for everyone?

[Glirdan]

Can't see why not, gives me plenty of posting time :D

[Gwathagor]

Excellent.

[wilwarin538]

Excellent

[Loslote]

*happydances and bounces with anticipation*

Saturday works for me! :D

[Inziladun]

So we're starting today, then?

[Gwathagor]

Correct. I will PM the roles later today and we'll start at 9 PM PST.

I guess we start out with a Night phase, yeah? I haven't played in a while and I can't remember exactly.

[wilwarin538]

Yes we do indeed. And Seer gets a dream Night 1.

[Nogrod]

Just caught a glimpse of a R&R Hall of Fame concert from the telly and Bruce was playing. Between two songs he said something like "If Woody Guthrie lived today he'd have a lot to write about..."

How true.


Starting with a Night-phase I think is the norm - letting the wolves to plot a bit before the actual game begins - and I think oftentimes the seers are given a dream also on N1. But that all depends on the general set-up and the particular wishes of the mod.

But is the line-up accurate? With only 11 players I think three wolves is quite a tough ratio - or even with 12. But the more reasons for the seer to get a dream on N1(heh, I will curse calling for this if I turn out a wolf :rolleyes:).


And so good to see you Glirdan! It has been actually years, in plural, yes. Hi, and welcome man!

[wilwarin538]

In Sally's game there were 20ish players and 6 wolves, and I'm pretty sure we (the wolves) lost :rolleyes:. So I think this village can handle 3 wolves, especially with 3 gifteds and the whole lovers dynamic. It's going to be interesting though.

Oh, and invisible mode soon everyone, just incase anyone has forgotten. :)

I'm so anxious to get started, haha, haven't played in a while and I have very little in RL to worry about this week so it'll be perfect, especially since the Day phases are on my days off from school!!! :D

[Nogrod]

In Sally's game there were 20ish players and 6 wolves, and I'm pretty sure we (the wolves) lost :rolleyes:.Were there that many? But that I think was a most exceptional game in many ways... :)

The normal ratio I think is like 13-16/17 and three wolves; 17/18+ and four wolves - not taking account of some particular rules that make a major twist on the issue (Like more wolves spawned during the game, really game-changing roles added on top of the normal from the beginning etc.).

But no problem. Let's go with three wolves if we wish. I'm not opposing it as such. I was just wondering if it was unintentional.

I'll play with whichever rules are given. The mod is the God on these issues. :)


Thanks for calling out for the invisibility-issue. *goes on to turn invisible*

[Gwathagor]

I think I'm just going to stick with three wolves and hope for the best.

Glirdan, I'm switching you over to Magic Rat because I'm cutting Wild Billy altogether.

[Gwathagor]

And Autume98, I'm afraid we're going to have to start without you. My next week is very busy and I'd like to get this thing going in advance of that.

[Gwathagor]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYPSZiE0OAs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az3nqPClKaU

Here's some songs to listen to. Consider it homework. :)

[Gwathagor]

Last minute character shuffling has taken place. Please take note. (Glirdan, you're back to Wild Billy - sorry about that).

[Gwathagor]

I want to remind everyone that the names I've used for the various roles (highwayman, foreman, etc.) are generic in terms of what gender they denote. That is, any of the roles can be either male or female.

[Gwathagor]

The roles have been sent out. Please make sure you are in invisible mode.

[Gwathagor]

Oh crap! I forgot downs time is an hour ahead. Um, the game has begun! I will create the game thread immediately. Throughout the game WE WILL BE GOING BY DOWNS TIME. Baddies and lovers, commence PMing. Dreamer, please send me a dream.

[wilwarin538]

Oh crap! I forgot downs time is an hour ahead. Um, the game has begun! I will create the game thread immediately. Throughout the game WE WILL BE GOING BY DOWNS TIME. Baddies and lovers, commence PMing. Dreamer, please send me a dream.

Uh, there is no "Downs Time". If you go to your personal options (same place you go to go on invisible mode, but further down the page) you can change the time to your time zone, so that the time that shows on the posts matchs your time. :) Like for me that last post of yours that I just quoted shows up as being posted at 11:03 PM. :D

[satansaloser2005]

So that'd make the deadline 11pm CT or 5am GMT. Right?


Heh. You really hate the Europeans, don't you? ;)

[Gwathagor]

I see you are correct. I had my DST settings messed up.

[Glirdan]

So I just saw the post (I have been away from a computer since Friday night) so I'm sorry that this is late getting back to you but....HI NOGROD!!!! :D :D :D It has indeed been years!!!

[Glirdan]

So I posted. Not quite sure what kind of posting you were looking for for Day 1. Kind of just went with it RPG style. If that's a problem for anyone, let me know, I'll take the post down.

For now, I'm off to bed. Won't be back on till much later in the day tomorrow. Have school amongst other things. :rolleyes: I will be able to post for a good 4 to 6 hours though after I do get home, so not all is lost! See you all then!

~ Glirdy ~

[Gwathagor]

Feel free to post in character if you are so inclined. It would be fun, but it is by no means expected of you.

[Gwathagor]

There have been some questions regarding the nature of the "lover" roles and victory conditions and so on, so let me try to clear this all up.

The "lover" pairs are for communication purposes only; the only similarity that they possess to traditional lover pairs is the fact that they can PM with each other at any time.

In all other respects, such as how they die, their victory conditions, how they vote, etc, the "lovers" behave as either wolves, innocents, or gifteds, not as traditional lovers.

Sorry about the confusion and thanks for bearing with me. First shot at modding and all that. PM me with any more questions.

[alonariel]

I'm off to work for a while - won't be back until 7PM PST, so don't expect replies/posts until around then.

Toodles!

[wilwarin538]

Gwath, what about the one Lover pair where if one dies so does the other, is that pair like a traditional Lover pair or is it like all the others as well?

[Gwathagor]

Actually, I ended up not using that idea, given the low number of players, but I forgot to notify you all. Apologies! There is no traditional lover pair. All lovers will survive their partners' deaths.

[Gwathagor]

I should have also mentioned in the game rules that there will be no retractable votes.

[Gwathagor]

I have been petitioned by a player via PM to restart the game because of the confusion over the exact nature of the PM-pairs (i.e. in what ways they are similar to traditional Lovers). My initial reaction is to just let the game play out, but ultimately I'm happy to do whatever you all would prefer.

So, what does everyone think? Since it's still early in the game, would you like to start over? I would reshuffle the roles, of course.

[Nogrod]

Let's continue as it is. Just my vote. We'll be able to deal with it for better or worse. Anyway the wind blows.

Starting again would be such an anticlimax.

But...but I already posted my song parody! :(

So, sort of make toDay into a Day -1? I wouldn't have thought of it, but if people were confused and, say, revealed as a wolf to their ordo!lover, then we'd probably better. Or revealed as a gifted to their wolf!lover. Either way, the game would be kind of tilted and not as much fun to play. I guess I'd say go ahead, but only if everyone wants to - if people don't, then I'd be happy to play it out.

I sure hope that's coherant...

[Inziladun]

I vote for moving on with it. Confusion is one of the charms of the game. ;)

For this reason I'd be ok with it, because it seems highly possible that something like this could have happened. I know I went into the game with a different idea of how the Lover pairs worked, so knowing straight from the beginning would probably be less confusing.

However, I'm good with what the majority decides.

[Gwathagor]

Other opinions?

[satansaloser2005]

I should have also mentioned in the game rules that there will be no retractable votes.

Thanks. I was actually going to ask about that.

Well for one thing I think unless some fatal error has been made we should continue. I also think we should keep discussion of the matter to a minimum, as I'd rather not know who had issues (for lack of a better term) with the rules; it might interfere with how I see them in-game and I don't want that.


So yeah, let's keep going unless you, Gwath, think there's a reason not to.

[Glirdan]

Bah!! I say stay on!! We've already started and we have two hours left of the Day. What's the point in restarting?

But really, the call is up to you Mod Gwath!

[alonariel]

Crap! I forgot to post here this morning, Lari had work from 10:30AM PST to 7PM PST. She should be on in a little while.

*cringes while awaiting the wrath of Lari*

[wilwarin538]

Yeah, don't bother restarting, I seem to be the only one who really misunderstood the situation and the only one to get screwed over by that misunderstanding (completely my own fault Gwath, I should never have assumed anything regarding the rules). So I say keep going, I don't want this to ruin the game for the rest.

[Gwathagor]

If it's all right with everyone, I think I'd like to restart the game. Sorry about all this.

I'll create a fresh new game thread, reassign roles, repost the initial narration, and then we'll treat the next phase, starting at 9 PM, as it if it were that first Night phase. I will only send PMs to the players whose roles I am changing. If you do not receive a PM from me, your role will remain the same. All clear?

In case anyone missed it: WE ARE STARTING OVER.

Gwath we only have an hour or so left before end of Day 1... :confused:

[Lariren Shadow]

I'm really sorry I haven't been around and sucked Day 1. I had a split shift yesterday, and then work this morning and I just got back. And now I'm running away for dinner.

[Gwathagor]

Gwath we only have an hour or so left before end of Day 1... :confused:

Yeah, I know. I think it's for the best.

[alonariel]

Game's over, deary :confused:

[Glirdan]

Well that's phooey....can we at least keep the same Lovers?? And I was also thinking, why no just end Day 1 and list everyone's roles, just for arguments sake. Unless you're planning on keeping everyone's role the same.

[Gwathagor]

Would an earlier deadline suit people better? Say, 6 or 7 PM PST?

[Glirdan]

I actually prefer the one we have now to be honest.

[alonariel]

Would an earlier deadline suit people better? Say, 6 or 7 PM PST?

I have work everyday til 6 PM...

[Gwathagor]

Well that's phooey....can we at least keep the same Lovers?? And I was also thinking, why no just end Day 1 and list everyone's roles, just for arguments sake. Unless you're planning on keeping everyone's role the same.

Some roles may change, some roles may remain the same, so, please, no one reveal what role you had this first time around. Save that for after the game is finished. Thanks.

[Gwathagor]

Ok, I'm going to pull the deadline back to 8:00 PST, which is in about ten minutes, just so we don't lose any time in restarting. Hopefully we'll maintain some of our momentum that way, since everyone is just beginning to get into things.

Erm, yeah. I don't think I'll be comfortable playing if that's the case (as in if we restart). Gwath, I'll PM you.

[Inziladun]

So in a little less than 10 minutes, Night 1 begins?

[alonariel]

Erm, yeah. I don't think I'll be comfortable playing if that's the case (as in if we restart). Gwath, I'll PM you.

Noooo Sally! The game must go on!

[satansaloser2005]

Noooo Sally! The game must go on!

Heh. Don't worry, someone can take my place if I decide to leave.

[wilwarin538]

K, if we restart everyone needs to slam it in to their heads that this will be a completely different game. Rules and players the same but otherwise completely different, so no one better be using anything said in this last one against anyone in this new one.

It's a different game for all intents and purposes. Treat it like a different game. Please and thank you.


I need sleep before I sound even grumpier. :rolleyes:

Gwath, to avoid any confusion I would suggest that everyone gets a new PM, even if their role or lover has remained unchanged....and perhaps no one should remain with both being the same as this previous batch (like for example someone could have the same role, but not the same Lover). Seems only fair and less likely to cause problems.

[Isabellkya]

Okies..

*mental note: check admin thread before checking the game thread*

xD

[Gwathagor]

Gwath, to avoid any confusion I would suggest that everyone gets a new PM, even if their role or lover has remained unchanged....

Fair enough.

[satansaloser2005]

K. So after discussion I'm still in. See you lot toMorrow.

[Loslote]

K. So after discussion I'm still in. See you lot toMorrow.

Yay for Sally playing! :D

[Gwathagor]

Ok, everybody's received another PM detailing their new role and their new PM pal.

We are starting from scratch, so anyone may or may not have the same role or PM pal as before.

Thank you everyone bearing with me. Hope this works!

[alonariel]

So is it Night 1 right now or Day 1...?

[Loslote]

And is DL 8PST or 9PST?

[Gwathagor]

And is DL 8PST or 9PST?

8 PST.

[Glirdan]

Well, seeing as it's Night 1 all over again, I'm going to make my way to that beloved room up the stairs and head to the place where slumber awaits!! See you all on the following Day!!...Cripes! WAIT!!! PROBLEM!!! I MAY not be able to post....like, at ALL that Day due to prior commitments!! Gah!! Umm...I might be able to post like an hour before the Day ends but just know that my vote will be entirely random as I won't have time to read any of the posts from that Day (I'm referring to Wednesday btw). SORRY!! I just thought of it! :(

[Gwathagor]

So is it Night 1 right now or Day 1...?

Night 1.

[Nogrod]

It's just so sad when you think you have a love affair and then you realise it was just being a pen-pal... :(

Heh, I was just getting interestd on the game and *puff* it's gone... :)


Well, let's show a brave face. After all, the mod is the god.

[Nogrod]

And btw. so this time round there are no lovers, so no shared destiny, no special common interest etc., right? But everyone has a pen-pal with whom we can discuss issues according to our wishes?

I just wanted to be totally clear with it.

[Gwathagor]

And btw. so this time round there are no lovers, so no shared destiny, no special common interest etc., right? But everyone has a pen-pal with whom we can discuss issues according to our wishes?

I just wanted to be totally clear with it.

Yes.

However, for narration purposes, I will continue to treat the pairs as lovers (and I am not using the term in the technical, WW sense).

[Shastanis Althreduin]

So this time, there's not one traditional Lover pair? It's just Seer, Ranger, Hunter, Wolves?

[Gwathagor]

So this time, there's not one traditional Lover pair? It's just Seer, Ranger, Hunter, Wolves?

Correct.

[wilwarin538]

So my internet is being whacky, it's deciding randomly which websites should work or not (Facebook and e-mail are fine, but the Downs and my school's website weren't working earlier :rolleyes:), I've been trying on and off to get on here for the last hour or so. So it's working now but I thought I'd warn you just incase it happens again and I can't come back.

[Gwathagor]

I'm going to be gone during toDay's DL (can't very well pass up a Glenlivet tasting at the cigar lounge), so I am pushing it back to 10:00 PST for toDay only. After that, it will return to 8:00 PST - so, basically, the Night phase will be shortened by two hours.

[satansaloser2005]

Gwath, if at all possible I'd like to know the terms for the hunter. Thanks!

[Gwathagor]

Hm. What exactly do you want to know?

[satansaloser2005]

Hm. What exactly do you want to know?

What happens in the event of a tie?

Also, is the hunter in this game (whether it's Morsul or not) a logical or illogical hunter?


I obviously can't say why I'm asking but I picked up on a couple things while reading the thread that....well, I'll explain on the game thred if you like, but yeah.

[satansaloser2005]

Also, I hate my rubbish life. Gwath, I'll send you the bill for my counseling. :p

[Gwathagor]

What is the difference between a logical and illogical Hunter? I'm not familiar with the terms.

In the event of a tie, I will cast lots.

[Morsul the Dark]

for the record the current hunter is Illogical... I still have my grimoire post at the ready :)

[Morsul the Dark]

Should I be killed and my pick is an ordo would they go down with me?

[satansaloser2005]

What is the difference between a logical and illogical Hunter? I'm not familiar with the terms.

In the event of a tie, I will cast lots.

Okay, good to know. The other question then becomes invalid....well, not as important.


Logical=takes down their target if the target is a wolf
Illogical=takes down their target, period

There's more variations that depend on Night vs. Day kill, etc, but I just wanted to know what you were thinking of.


Anyway, since I know that now, can I still vote? Please?

[Gwathagor]

Yes. Vote. It was my fault for not explaining the rules thoroughly.

[Gwathagor]

And, yes, the Hunter is illogical.

[satansaloser2005]

Yes. Vote. It was my fault for not explaining the rules thoroughly.

*glomps*

Thank youuuuu!


ETA: x'd with Gwath's last. And thanks. Good to know. :)

[Glirdan]

Ummm...now I'm confused....did Morsul have more votes then I did at the end of the Day? I seem to recall having 2 and him and Shasta each with three.....or am I delusional?? If so, somebody point this out to me. Or something. I'm not complaining, I'm just genuinely confused.....

The Hunter in this game was illogical, meaning if they were lynched, their pick goes down with them when they're lynched regardless of their pick's wolf, innocent or evil.

That was the coolest death scene ever, by the way.

Thank Mr. Springsteen for that one. Stole it right out of the song.

That really was an awesome death. Too bad it had to be me on my first game back! :rolleyes: Anyways, good luck to the rest of you! And too my lover, I bid you adieu and we shall play again soon!

[Gwathagor]

Further clarification regarding the Angel/Ranger role: they may protect the same person no more than two nights in a row. They may protect themselves once only during the game.

Alona is having trouble getting on the Downs. She just wanted everyone to know.

[Glirdan]

No one wants to counter-reveal Sally? Or vote for themselves? Or come back from the dead? Or even better, admit their wolfyness? :smokin:

Dangnabit!! You ruined my secret plan of not actually being dead and coming back to life in two Day's time!! :p

[Nienna]

Sally won't be able to make it back on.

Haven't you figured it out yet dear, my goal in life is to foil every plan you have. :D ♥

[Loslote]

Thanks guys. :rolleyes: Happy wolf-hunting.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Frack. Many apologies for not making the deadline, I haven't been near a computer nearly all day - I've been at vocal rehearsals. :(

[Gwathagor]

Hey, question: is anybody benefiting from the inclusion of the video links in the narration? It doesn't matter whether you are or not, I'll continue to put them in for my own benefit ;), but I'm still curious.

I find them entertaining, but I haven't gleaned any game information from them, if that's what you mean. Maybe I ought to look at them all again.

1.21 giga-whats?! Frickin' sweet.


Erm, I mean, I'm sorry I wasn't here. No internet at the spawns' house and Duck can only take so much dictation. *hugs her* :p

Nah, I just wanted to know if you were watching and enjoying them.

[Glirdan]

So I hopped on the computer, fully intending on checking up on the progress of the game, but first I checked my Facebook and lo and behold I had received a message from Alona telling me to check out this post:


Now, when I play with Glirdan on the other hand, it's quite nice getting a little RL break from him! Especially cause we're always trying to kill each other in the games and I think we both kinda bug each other because our playing styles are soooo different and we surprisingly suck at reading each other, real test of our friendship! (would love it if he saw this )

And then I happen upon this:



Haha! ...I mean I'm not sending this to him via Facebook message, what are you talking about?

Haha Loving the image I have in my head of his reaction....

Just for the record, I got a good kick outta this!! :D And for everyone else, everything in that is true!! We really do have to avoid contact with each other until we're dead and we really do suck at reading each other!! But that's what makes it fun!! :D

[satansaloser2005]

I may or may not be conscious at the start of toDay. If I'm still alive come Dawn but I don't show up never fear; I'll pop on eventually. Just lettin' you know.

[satansaloser2005]

Okay, so this might get me in trouble, but I'm going to say it anyway for clarity's sake especially now that Sally's been killed. Since she and I were on for most of yesterDay, we ended up talking about the game while simultaneously posting on the thread. The main point of our conversation was covered and posted on the thread when Sally basically asked if it was all right if I sacrificed myself as a lynch so the Ranger wouldn't get lynched. Now, at the time, I was okay with her setting me up as the Ranger as a hopeful hint to the wolves to go after me instead of trying to lynch or Night kill the real Ranger.




I'd just like to point out that while yes, Alona and I were talking about the game on IM, it was a hypothetical and teasing conversation. No actual game information was exchanged. Just wanted to make that clear.

And obviously I can't say what we talked about last Night after I died, so I won't. But yeah. Just so's ya know.

[satansaloser2005]

Also, my death may or may not have made me squee with happy randomness. ^_^

[Isabellkya]

I'm sorry.
But why exactly are there players conversing about the game, while the game is going on - outside of the thread?
Even if hypothetical.
I was under the impression that unless given specific instructions that you could - no outside communication involving the game was allowed between players.

This rule isn't new, so I'm deeply confused as to why it is going on.

To be honest I had just told her that I'd written a parody about my dream (which everyone already knew at the time anyway). Joking and banter continued and I was admittedly ill enough I wasn't thinking the straightest so we kept kidding each other until I realized, "Wait a minute, we're both still alive. Abort! Abort!" Not that that helps any, but I wanted to clear it up because from Alona's post on the game thread it looked like we were in cahoots on IM talking about strategy and the game when in fact we weren't; I got a bit off-topic in my illness and started talking about the game without entirely realizing it. So I just offered my above post as clarification to any who thought we might have been doing bad stuffs.


And now I've gotta have a nap so I can wake up at DL and find out who is right and who is dead. (I'm hoping at least one person figures out the movie reference in that.) Oh, and Izzy, you'll enjoy watching much more if you have popcorn. I know I am! ;)
