That's pretty much it. There's no custom involved, though. There are players who are known for singling out quiet ones, but that's all.

All right then. Thanks for the clarification on both matters.

Twenty posts? Oh sadness, let's see what we have here. Coppermirror and Zil have said alot, looks like at a quick scan. Doesn't seem like much has happened yet though. Off and reading.

I'm going to need to vote pretty soon. 0500 hours comes early, and I may or may not be able to make it back before DL.

Not much in the way of activity to key in on, thus far.

I don't want to get after the submarines just yet, since I am voting awfully early, and it's possible some might not realize the game is on now.

Coppermirror did cause a bit of an eyebrow raise, but at any rate I can't bring myself to vote a first-timer on Day 1.

Kit still gives some ill-defined feeling of unease, but that's all.

I guess I could vote Shasta or Sally for...being Shasta and Sally.

x/d with Kit

I'd like a reason. I've said almost nothing.

Just the feel of the first couple of posts. Like I said, it's pretty thin.

Ok. I do need to go to bed, but I'm going to take a chance and not vote yet.

With luck, I should be able to get back for a quick vote before DL.

Well, I could vote you, because I don't like you either. But I won't, because that wouldn't be how the game is supposed to be played.

In any case, Sally, dear, that was a horrible attempt at anything resembling rhyme-scheme. Let me think...

That's a good point, but I do have to dock you a few points for considering voting someone who hasn't shown up. Is Eomer even aware the game's started?

No idea. I always check the Downs on my phone and would have missed toDay had I not been looking at Arda Cup results (which I still refuse to discuss, thank you). I may want to be a baton in his side, but I don't think I'll actually follow through. It wouldn't be fair.


EDIT: x'd with Kit. And now I feel like I'm being watched....

It isn't? Well, bother. Maybe I should rethink my strategy.

That was an attempt at getting the crowd's attention. And....well, it worked, but not in the way I hoped. I'll compose a proper song come the morrow, my pet, I promise.
