I would like to nominate this game's Nogrod-Nerwen fight for the WW Hall of Fame.

I'd consider staying up late just to watch it.

But you, Tum, expressed appreciation and understanding of Rikae's motives for that vote at the time, didn't you?

The appreciation was all fun and games lightheartedness. The understanding was I can see why she's doing it, however I'm not ok with it. If I were ok with it thought than I would've done the same thing myself last night. However I didn't think that would be the right thing to do. I thought it would be better for us as a village to go after a wolf. What good does a throw away vote do us?

Edit: x-ed with Rikae

Uh huh. And what about when the entire village is going after what looks like an innocent? You think it's better to go along with the village and make yourself less conspicuous, right, Autume? Not so for me. If my vote is meaningless, it might as well make a point (as in Phantom's case) or be funny (self-voting.)

Well if this is less conspicuous you sure could of fooled me.

I haven't played enough games with you to know if this is something you do on a normal basis.

I think this is at least the third game I know of that you've voted for yourself.

No, it isn't. I'm not the one who thinks the point of the game is to be as inconspicuous as possible - that's you.

Rikae hasn't an original thought in her head. She's a very lemming-like player who always hops onto the opinions of others and never breaks away from the group. I don't think I've ever heard her act "out of turn" or "strange" in the thirty-some games (or so) I've played with her over the last two and a half years.



Oh, and she's incredibly awesome. But that part's actually true.

Basically what I meant was that I didn't realize I was trying to be inconspicuous. It was just some dry humor that fell flat. What I need is a smiley that falls fat on their face right here.

Edit: x-ed with Rikae, Sally, and Zil twice
