Well I'm around Nerwen but I don't know if you want to hang around with the likes of me...
A couple of WW-related things (if anyone is willing to fill me in)
I remember a really good, quite fierce WW player from way back, in RL she was a young wife, tall I seem to remember, and possibly living in the Midwest. Her name is at the tip of my tongue and it's driving me nuts.
Also, a lovers question - when the roles were first introduced I remember there was a big debate about whether they had to be of opposite gender and eventually the conservative view won out. Is it still the case now?

Depends on the mod I guess. Kath and I had women lovers in our game (thanks to the dice - really it could have been anything), and my last run as a lover in the original Mandos game was gender-swapped Beren & Lúthien.

I remember a fierce WWer from the mid-20s (of game number of course, not years) who goes by Roa_Aoife. And I remember her mainly because she takes issue with my, ah, undeveloped sense of self-preservation.

JennyHallu is also another female player from that era, but she wasn't fierce (at least when I played with her).

Did that help?

Good that they seem to have scratched the information list idea. However Nilp, if you go back to the living thread, can you also tell them to vote as early as possible in the future? No way I'm going to be here at 4 am while they're debating.

(Although I should probably admit, both times I've drifted awake after 5 am so far I've checked what happened here before going back to sleep. )

Yes, of course, Roa it was. Now that you mention it, I do remember how annoyed with you she used to get...hee hee
I chiefly remember her from the Penguin game, the only time I've been a seer and bungled it so badly that I was nearly lynched on the first day. I dreamed of Boro, tried to raise suspicion against him and he responded by leading a far more successful witch-hunt against me which forced me to out myself. Roa was magnificent - she went into such a rage against the village for trying to lynch me, and stayed up til deadline to defend me against possible attack. It's how Boro got his 'Fenris Penguin' tag. I think the other penguins were Ang and Nog?
Not my finest hour.

In my defense, I read the 3 pages in 15 minutes just after waking up and haven't gone back yet! I remember nothing anybody said before page 25.

Fair enough. My reading comprehension first thing when I wake up is terrible even if I'm reading slow.

Splendid, I say. Really at least morm started looking terribly fishy lately (along with Eomer, if you ask me) and the general unhelpfulness of these people who were kinda hanging around, knowing that they should make a list for the Dead so that we can vote, but kinda didn't, that was really bad...

It seems to be under debate, but yeah, I think we should try to cast our vote in order to empower the lynch we agree on. And they could even be clever enough to get that as a message.

Nilp, I hope you are taking notes (I hope you make it back).

For that matter, sadly I can't participate in the spamming now, gotta go painting walls, but, I'll be back later today!

Welcome Nerwen!

And in case you really are ther Seer, that was a superb job! Hooray!

That reservation sure is a normal WW-procedure as in this game we all know anything can happen, but yes, I'm buiyng your seership for the time being as I don't have any major reason not to and we can hopefully even get some more evidence on it.

If things are that way then, it's great we have five wolves caught. The next task is to get two of them lynched in the Living Thread. With three of them here to derail the voting we need to be careful - and hope for the Living making some wise and early decisions we can then stick with.

Surely, I think, our main goal toDay will be giving an extra vote to someone voting either morm or Form - and hopefully helping in lynching him.

But yes, so many things can happen, like no one votes either of them etc.

Feeling good, anyway.
