I think everyone should reveal who their Lover/Pen Pal is, just to get everything out in the open! Honesty is of course the best policy and all.


If that doesn't stir something up I may have to resort to voting randomly for someone...or maybe voting for myself....or maybe false reveal as something.....cause something exciting obviously needs to happen in order for people to start talking....

This is where she first brought it up. This seems rather innocent to me, and I don't see any reason to suspect her for what seems to have been said in a very joking tone.

The first reaction. Inzil takes it seriously but asks what purpose it would serve. I must admit, this struck me as kind of evil at the time.

Wilwa restates that she was joking.

Rikae also likes the idea, and goes so far as to reveal that Izzy is her penpal. This seems a tad bit evil, as well, but to doesn't feel quite as bad to me as Inzil's.

Sally doesn't like the idea very much and wonders what use it would be. Knee-jerk reaction: innocent.

Nog sees both sides. I have no idea what this means, evil or innocent.

Wilwa's tone here seems to suggest that she didn't expect the idea to take off so fast and she's a bit alarmed. Kind of innocent, kind of evil.

And if we reveal all the pen pals right now it might affect the way the wolves communicate via PM's - and not for the more "readable" direction - well saying this out aloud might have a similar kind of effect as well now as I think of it.

Again, debating whether or not to reveal penpal. He seems to decide against it, but not too decisively.

Glirdan also doesn't see the point. Knee-jerk: I have no idea. Could be either, since only one person had revealed at this point and it probably wouldn't do much good to jump on it.

Either way, what does that information do for catching wolves? And, lets be honest, the Seer is the only one who can really know the role of their partner.

Lari doesn't see the point and doesn't think it would be helpful. See Glirdan's for reaction.


So right now, my top suspect is Inzil, but Lari, Glirdan, or Nog could also be wolves, and that's only based on the Pen Pal Debates.

I think I'll go look at Zil now.

*scowls* This was way too short.

And bravo, Lottie. The only thing missing is the melody! By the way, was that based upon something else, or was it a Lottie Original?
So, this is it so far? I'll be back when more of the young people begin to stir.

Aww! Thanks!

Still nothing of note? This is disappointing, even for Day 1. It does look likely I'll be making a shot in the dark by voting for a sub, at this rate.
Outing the 'PM Pals', hmm? I suppose we could, but what would it accomplish?

EDIT-had to remove one of Wilwa's smilies to allow one of my own

Talked about this before. It looks suspicious to me. It walks the border and doesn't say much of anything.

Izzy, hm? Well, I would ask you if she's said anything interesting, or, even better, lupine, but then, how do I know you're not a wolf?
This is why I don't see what this gains us. We're flying blind both ways, here and with our PM Pals.

x/d with Nog and Wilwa

Now he doesn't like the idea; banter with Izzy. That's all he posted.

I've got to go. I should be back before dl, but just in case:

++Zil

To be fair, I think she also said there were four wolves, so I'm not sure if she was entirely serious about that.

Wilwa said she was basically just trying to get people posting, and it appears she was somewhat successful. I didn't think she was all that enthused about it herself, just trying to get reactions.

So, Sally and I say practically the same thing, yet somehow I'm evil and she isn't?

x/d with Lottie (ah! my first vote!) and Glirdan

Loslote, you say

How do you interpret this as Wilwa "restating" (especially when she never said it in the first place) that she's joking? Trying to get conversation started is not the same thing as joking; an actual "joke" would probably do nothing to start conversation, since it isn't worth responding to at all.
It almost looks like you're trying to cover Wilwa's tracks for her.

Or maybe Lottie is trying to make us think this way? What if really, Lottie is just trying to sway us into thinking that Wilwa is a Wolf? Just playing devil's advocate here.

[Rikae]

Glirdan, either way, Lottie would be making herself look wolfish in the process... and there's no cobbler, is there?

As I said, devil's advocate. And no, there is no Cobbler.

[Rikae]

I have to go now - I'm going to go with my gut. Tough to explain, but my initial impression has been reinforced by his newer posts:

++Glirdan

Good night/Night!

[Inziladun]

Well, I don't think I'll be around for DL, so it's

++Lottie

As I said, her vote seemed quite forced, and no one else looks worse.

[Isabellkya]

I'm here and catching up on some posts I see.
My grand/parents just walked through the door about an hour ago, and have been entertaining them for a bit.


Just to clarify. I was not making an argument about/towards the four whom in succession came on and posted essentially the same thing. I was making an observation.

I'm not entirely sure how much substance you are expecting on a re-day one; when it seems half the population has other commitments. I'm sure one day science will make advances in telepathy - so we can monitor ww via our minds. xD

In relation to the PM/Pen-Pals.
I don't mind that Rikae and our penship was revealed. I'm not entirely sure how revealing or not revealing could help in any way. What advantages and disadvantages could come about from either choice.

x'd with Inziladun

[Morsul the Dark]

here...reading... so what exactly happened... I have Pms from two people claiming to be my buddy... and this is "attempt 2"...
