Werewolf XLVIII: When Virtual Becomes Reality

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Right guys, I mean, whoa, I just switched off my Leona Lewis CD, bangin' as it is, because this is, totally serious, and deserves, attention, y'know?

I have a suggestion, to help catch the hackers, because I am currently doing, a business psychology class, which is really cool, and useful, and it'll totally get me a fast career, know? This pshycology class basicaly says that, like, people, will show themselves if ur clever enough to see inside their souls. So because I've been taking these classes I think I could really help us find the hackers.

Firstly, Nilpaurion Felagund and Formendacil are totally making my brain hurt!?!?! Srsly guys, what are you talking bout? I thought this was a LotR get-together, or something, because, all that hocus-pocus stuff?!?!?! Srsly dudes, whatever.

I don't like the way Nerwen talks. She is showing, no respect, for the English language, or something?!?!? She cud be trying to confuse us?!?!?

Boromir88 sounds pretty amazing. Dude, I cant believe you did all that stuff!?! lol

Durelin, I feel sorry for you, I hope you can get thru this dificult time.

Gawd, I wish I could hang out with my peeps at the mall!!?!! I don't like it here, much, y'know?!?!??

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Wow, Nerwen, I'm seriosly not LOLing here, how can you just, like, say stuff, about ppl on the internet like that, it's really not cool and quite offensive, so seriosly, get off my case, y'know?!?

And it totally doesnt take a rocket scientist to see inside you're soul, because your posts are quite stupid so, like, get what I'm saying?!?!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Nerwen, Mandos has told me, looks rather innocent.

I wish to hear from those whose melodies have not been hear.

I shall be back, Eru willing, ere the closing of this DAY.

You'll really wake up at 5 in the bloody morning for this?

The doom of timezones has been upon me since the creation of Eä. It is my duty to do what I could to overcome this hard fate.

Wow, Nerwen is making my brain hurt. I say we vote her because:

a) Reading that kind of text will be really annoying later in the game for everyone.

b) Nerwen knows this and if she really is a wolf and she survives, she will go under the radar later in the game. (I personally am NOT going to read that in a longer post than three lines, it hurts my head)

and

c) I've got nothing on anyone else.

[Mithalwen]

Good afternoon, Dr Mithalwen, here. Not so many..err .. case notes as there might be given the size of the therapy group but it is still early and I expect there will be a lot more going on later when I return after this afternoon's case load. Does mean at least I have been able to read through. My conclusions? Excellent humour but as I am sure we all know humour is often used as a facade to cover childhood trauma, insecurity, low self esteem maybe even hacker/lycanthropy?

Maybe we need a group therapy session - perhaps some people have things they would like to share? No?

I think one or two of us could benefit from one on one sessions.

Eomer is clearly an HSP which could result in anger management issues.

Nerwen is clearly profoundly dyslexic (I am too old to cope easily with chat speak - Shasta, I may need your help).

Then we have the battle of the egos - Formy, Noggin Boro and probably others.

Nilp and Durelin are well .... to use a layman's term, away with the fairies.

Enough material for an entire conference from half a village!!!.

But not a lot to go on for the task in hand - well I will be back in a few hours a will try to make a more significant contribution.

While there is clearly ego in play, I wish it to stand for the record that my vigorous defence is solely motivated by a desire to see Tolkien's works as Tolkien's work--not as some fanfictionated, Hollywoodised, Dungeons-and-Dragons, Dwarf-belching crap.

.....

Why have we been called here together? Are we not all here to take the selfsame journey to Orodruin, using to the utmost all the strength of our wits and intuition, and trusting Eru that he will step into the resounding theme of evil and repay our estel?

Surely you, of all people, Master Felagund, have forgotten the Doom of Men? Just because the Ainulindalë says only that the Third Theme (the Children of Ilúvatar) were conceived in the mind of Eru alone does not mean you could not step outside of your most favoured book and realise that the Doom of Men means both that:

Men are not bound to fate.

And, I'm afraid, escaping the circles of Arda is looking entirely too easy at the moment.

You'll clearly never be made moderator if you can't distinguish between flaming and a serious discussion. Nilp and I may differ on several key points, but at least we can dialogue, which is more than can be said for certain members.

[Nerwen]

this IC stuff maeks it hard 2 get a grip. most ppl havent posted enuf anyWAy.

sum thuoghts:

Need I explain my thoughts?It wouldn't hurt anyone for me to tell, so . . .

Despite the headache you give to most of this gathering (fashioned as I am by Eru's hands to discern the thoughts of Elves and Men, it hurts me not), you seem geniune in your endeavour to aid this community.

I should warn you though that the shape your thoughts take form on our screens makes you vulnerable to those confused by Melkor's discord, or perchance you know it already. Votes for you for 'IC reasons' may well disguise the perversion of their thoughts.

What do you think of satansaloser2005's post?
( ) I approve
(x) I disapprove
I think she's rather the spammer. -Agan

I am too lazy to come up with reasons to neg-rep you all right now so maybe I just try to talk something and neg-rep only when I really feel like it.

Oh why do you think so?

*sits back and eagerly waits for Boro to demonstrate his skills by outing the hackers in a minute*

Guilty:
Elf-Warrior. Two posts, requiring yes or no answers to the question "Did You Kill The Barrow-Wight?". Somehow secretive attitude and claims to have no part in BW's murder.
Kitanna. One post, jokingly accusing Boro about his hacker post. Ends her post by inquiring about Nerwen's typos, for it would have felt suspicious if she had only talked about one thing before disappearing again.
sally. Feels too comfortable.
Sixth. One post and speaks only of Nerwen, telling why we should vote for her.

In general I don't like half-accusing one person and barely mentioning anyone else in the first post.

I hate to be a spoilsport, but funny as posting IC is, I think it could be done to a lesser extent. For if the day keeps going on like this, I might have to *shudders* vote randomly. And I just noticed I can't take Nerwen's posts seriously when she's talking like that.

edit: xed with Nerwen and Nilp

I think FormenDAGA, villainous though he may be, will agree with me when I say that DAY 1s are .

Need we continue these modes of conversation the next DAY? It would present an air of versimilitude in the game but aid in our hunting of evil it does not.

The problem is that you have taken on personae, not mere occupations.

Well, it is making me laugh.

[Nerwen]

Okay, okay, I get the message. Besides, I'm giving myself a headache. Tough luck, Shasta, you weren't around when I needed you, so you're out of a job now. (Perhaps you could translate my earlier posts, for the benefit of those who aren't bilingual?)

I still won't take anyone dissing the movies in general or Legolas in particular though (Mmmn! Leggy! So hawt!)

Nilp, I still have no idea what that list of yours was all about, so can you please explain? I'm automatically suspicious of people who make lists of names with no explanations. On the other hand, I don't think a hacker/wolf would have said this:

I feel I should probably leave this for Nilpaurion to explain... he practically has a Ph.D in "and everything shall redound to Eru's glory"ism.

That and it's the recurring motif of Middle-earth: Evil may triumph for a time, but Good is ultimately always triumphant--even if you have to wait an Age for it.

Umm... that is the whole point of IC posting, is it not? On Day 1 there are no patterns and merely random accusations and voting. If the IC persists into Day 2, then it is well and good to complain, but on Day 1 there is nought else to go by, in any game, for the seeming randomness of the Wolves will only be brought to clarity in hindsight.


And... speaking of random voting, I won't be back before NIGHTfall (work all day, then an ordination), so suspect me all you like, but you'll not be able to accuse me of sneaking onto any bandwaggons.

++Nogrod

Because what would make a better cover for a hacker looking to overthrow the existing Mods than a pathetic wannabe-Mod? No one would suspect it.

Except I just did.

Well, so much for that theory... but votes are irretractable, and there really is no way to analyse one's way to a decent conclusion on Day 1.

[satansaloser2005]

Okay, sorry, change of plans. My mother invited me (okay, I begged....heh) over for dinner, which never happens, so I need to head out. I might be back before deadline, but I'll vote now just in case.

Sarcastically, I'm the only one allowed to be a grammar Nazi on here, but we all know that's not the case. In reality, Sixth's post seems just....wrong. It's the first day and, as much as I hate to say it, at the moment there's not much we can get from toDay. Sixth is trying too hard to reason. Does that make sense? Blah. Anyway....

++Sixth



By the way, where are Rikae and McCobbler, erm, Cabbie?


Anyway, I need to head out. I'm bloody starving. Hopefully I'll see you all either before the end of the Day or toMorrow. Til then, Bye! Au revoir! Adios! Ciao! Ting tao tay! *waves dumbly*



EDIT: x'd with everything since Ka's 71....heh, including Rikae.

Durelin makes some clever observations.
