So Phantom should be slain for excessive awesomeness? Hmm... not a good plan it seems to me. Do you not want awesome people on your team? Unless of course you know Phantom isn't on your team. But at this stage no one can know that.

Not to mention the fact that Phantom isn't even playing. Do you see the cape on my back? I am Candor Man! Defender of truth and.... well, just truth really.

My sincere apologies then Candor Man. I shall refer to you properly.

Doktor Von und Zum Quatsch- what is it in particular that you dislike about this party? So much so that you are feeling suicidal?

Let's see here...

I can't see casting away Butterfingers (Brin). Her destructive powers could be extremely useful, like if Dark Monarch builds some sort of death ray that needs to be mangled.

Leaf Man (Hakon) would be valuable in forest spy-type missions.

Hover Girl (Lari) could come in handy if there is a booby-trapped floor to get across.

Athlete's Foot Man (Morm) would be very handy in survival situations with his ability to produce something edible from nothing.

If they start looking shifty, then naturally I'll change my position, but for now I'd like to keep these folks out of the noose. And actually, speaking of noose... how exactly are we going to do away with our daily selections? I don't think we even have a rope handy, and it doesn't appear that any of you are the weapon-toting superhero types.

Explain please. And do it forward. You've proven you can type backwards (though you made a couple of errors dearie), but as I have expressed no great talent at reading your chosen method of communication, perhaps you could shift for a bit out of consideration.

I suspect they've read every game I've ever played in. If they did so, their behavior is to be expected.

Ordinarily I would have answered, "I dunno", but Candor Man does not dance around questions. He may refuse to answer, but he does not deceive.

I specifically told them to leave codes that could only be pointed out, not actually seen by reading (in other words, very very low risk- no risk if they do it right). The clues would be to prove their identities should it be necessary come lynch time (or to challenge a false claim).

That is a good idea, and not a trap. So says Candor Man.

All right, Duck Whisperer, hand it over. How'd you do that?

A list before I decide to go off and do something instead of checking if this is updated every few seconds.

Mira: As been stated, posted first. Is asleep and possibly not around. She is entertaining not to be lynched on Day 1.

Fea: Went to bed as well. She generally gets lynched on Day 3 though.

Hakon: Has been posting as well.

Lari: Can not remember every person she has met and fails at spelling and lists. Obviously fails.

Candor Man: Needs nothing to be said about him. Came up with some interesting(and hopefully will be followed) suggestions.

Rikae: Votes for herself...sorry I suck with lists!

Alona: Is posting. Very suspicious.

And I have talked on the phone with Sally

There that should be an up to date list of knowing people.
Ooh, so we're all explaining how we know each other? My turn! And I bet I can do it in one breath (and backwards):

Oh bloody....

*wants to cuss*

It's what... four hours into this game? And we're already on page 3?

And on a *blinking* Day 1 at that.

Backwards text, too much Real Life gossip, and I bothered wading through it looking for serious posts?

*grumbles*

The following have my disapprobation:
Mira and Lari for talking nonsensically about real life
Brinn for that AND for talking backwards
Nerwen for starting the whole talking backwards
Boro for encouraging them
Everyone Else, just 'cause
the phantom, for being himself

We have one retraction in this game, right? *seems to remember that we have a potential No Vote and can retract that as our single retraction, so uses that as his self-evidence*

++ Mirandir

...because she's first on my grumpy list and I can change it later when I'm more awake. For now, it's 1:10 am in my timezone, I have a cough, and I'm grouchy. Sorry, Mira darling. But not very sorry.

Back quite a bit later...

Cuddlefish.

Also, methinks it's far too early to vote, unless of course you've got obligations tomorrow (well, today) or something. I'd have just waited.


Meh, to each his own cuddlefish.

Haven't you heard? Our dear Mod wants us to hit 7 pages by morning, or at least 5. Oh, how I love a challenge.
