Nienna regrets to inform you that she has to withdraw. She, too, was an unpunctured innocent.

Indeed, and I'd be very interested to know if Sam did in fact attempt to cure her.

Tell me people- could any harm come from me asking everyone to say who they would've attempted to cure if they were Sam? That way, if you or I have an inkling as to who Sam is, we'd see their answer and know for certain whether they attempted to turn Lhuna.

Is there something obviously bad that could happen as a result of that plan? (I can't think about it properly without distraction until I'm home, so I'm leaving it up to you people to vote the plan up or down.)

Calm down lad, you still have a couple days to have fun before you die. No need to be defensive. It's simply the way of things.

Every time I see "Sammy" I think of Wayside School's dead rat visitor. Raise your hand if you know what I'm talking about.

But yeah, don't refer to him as "Sammy". I realize it's a cute version of the name that fits how adorable he is, and you have as much right to determine his nickname as anyone, but it just confuses me. How about "Samantha"?

Perhaps I'm dense (entirely possible), but I don't see what it would accomplish. Anyway, you're counting on the baddies among us to be honest, aren't you?

I'm quite calm, sir. Just doing a bit of poking and prodding of my own. Maybe something useful will come of it.

x/d with Bom and tp

Hoom Hoom. Thinking about what you said, Nogrod, led me to consider further my suspicions about the Glirdy-wagon, and to come to the opposite conclusion: Boromir88 and you are Shelob and spawn! I noticed that you two had voted Glirdan - poor, innocent Glirdan - with no apparent reason, not even trying to justify it. Even phantom gave some warning.

And then you attempt to place (Noglob? Sherod? or maybe Shelob88?) in either of the other two categories! I'm onto you . . .

Plus, by your own logic:

But also I find it pretty improbable that either Shelob or her stinged-one were seriously at fray yesterDay.

As noted by the illustrious wilwarin538 and myself, respectively, both Boromir88 and your (eight-legged?) self were quite quiet yesterday.

Now, due to the lack of retractable votes, I won't vote for you juuuuuust . . . yet. But I'mma be watching you, I is, preciousssss.

And phantom, that sounds like an excellent idea. Full disclosure where Sam is concerned can't hurt (can it?). Just watch for misdirection, everybody - Shelob and her minions will be trying to steer us wrong as much as possible.

Also, I would appreciate more justificationizing of your accusationizing of Inziladun. Although I'm certain you're right () I don't quite see the undoubtedly impeccable reasoning.

Well, can it? That's what I'm asking. I guess you're voting that the plan sounds good then?

Let's have some more input. Inzil, Nog, Wilwa- still around? Anyone else?

(For those that don't know what I'm talking about, it's this-

[satansaloser2005]

I'll allow the hypotheticals, as long as no one says "Well, I'm Sam and I protected...."


Also, Noglob is now the official term. Sherod confused me.

Psh, I know the baddies will lie. Everyone will lie other than Sam in a manner, as no one but him honestly tried to cure someone, so they'll just be making it up.

I would just like to see the percentages for one thing (i.e. if every person says Lhuna then we can all know it to be true), and even if there are disagreements there are certain individuals that will matter more to me and others (I'm sure we'll all have our suspicions about Sam, right?) and we can use our guesses to help guide us. Or at least I will.

I don't suppose I see the harm in it, at any rate. I know who I'd have likely been interested in last Night as Sam.

[the phantom]

All right then, we have the go-ahead from Bom and Inzil, but I'd like to wait for at least a couple other people to give it a stamp just in case I missed something obvious.

I never lie. Never.

I should like to first register my complete indifference to most of the rules of this particular game.

Here are the rules I shall be playing under:

The Doctor is obviously a phony, or xe'd have used xer sonic screwdriver by now. Therefore we can't rely on the nimwit saving us, therefore let's ignore the role entirely. There is no Doctor.

Shelob must be either Wilwa, Lhuna, Lottie, or Nerwen. Henceforth, I shall refer to all of them as Shewa, Shena, Shetie, and Shewen.

Since all of the animals in the park have been specifically engineered to be female, it is fair and rational to guess that all of Shelob's spawn is also female. (I looked under their skirts.)

However, in the event of life finding a way even in the midst of gender identity crisis, I shall not vote today for the first person to tell me - in layman's terms - what automictic parthenogenesis is, and how it relates to the phantom, who I won't be listening to, because his advice always takes too long to follow.

Savvy?

Isn't that the delusion that one is a Greek god and all mortals are merely here for his amusement? What could that have to do with phantom?
