Exactly the whole question is if that's enough. There is probably Aganzir at some at least decently late-ish point, but I am with Nog on that I would prefer to wrap this up, like, now.

Which, given there are zero votes on the Living thread and looking at the list of people who could vote for being in the European timezone, is not very nice. I expect Lommy to vote in a couple of hours because of her late-evening program together with Agan, and Mith and Eomer and Kath, if she appears, are still two hours in bonus compared to us near the lakes of Rhun. Others I expect to vote just before DL.

I'm wondering if I might even pull off some half-"doze of for two hours and possibly come back"-trick, but in that case I require somebody to be here and alert to give me a vote tally, and anyway, even with that I won't vote very close to the DL. (I could at least vote when there has actually a vote been cast.)

Or I might leave that be, which I do not like to do... or pull the same trick that's been discussed here before and inquire Aganzir here about alerting me by phone call in case my vote seems to be needed. But then again, it still would be probably too early before the DL, so it might not make sense at all.

If you have to go to bed before they get a plan up, I think it might be best to swallow your vote. What if the new vote plan leads to something bad with your vote (the Baddies pile onto it). If you don't vote at all at least we'd have a shot of avoiding something like that.

Thoughts?

[the phantom]

Just in case a posting binge might prod them....

[the phantom]

Settle your plan now, Living. Settle it NOW.

[the phantom]

See how active we are? It's because WE'RE SCREAMING AT YOU.

[the phantom]

Do any of you Living Europeans feel sleepy? Thinking about going to bed?

Then maybe it's also true OF TONS OF PEOPLE HERE ON THIS THREAD!

[the phantom]

You notice how no one was empowered yesterday?

Maybe it was because YOU DIDN'T LET US BECAUSE YOU TOOK SO LONG TO MAKE A PLAN AND THEN VOTE!

You, sir, are a poet!

Kinda... I was thinking if, say, Kath, who just now appeared, voted for one of the Orms, whether I should not cast my vote to empower her, but it is true it could create a mess. Thoughts?

And in regards to something Nerwen mentioned like ages ago and it sort of fell under the table, except for maybe one comment: Nerwen, if you are thinking about whose identity to dream, I would suggest if we get a new totally enigmatic player, then them, if not, then somebody out of Nog or Rikae, potentially the phantom. But rather one of the former (sic! I hope not).

[the phantom]

You know who doesn't sit around and discuss and waffle and foot-drag? A leader.

Be Gandalf. Do what needs to be done. You don't need to reach an agreement. Don't need to see what others think. Just say what IS best and tell everyone they need to do it or be considered a Wolf.

[the phantom]

She already dreamt me, dude. It'll be Nog or Rikae tonight- unless the Living sadly send us an unknown instead of a Wolf.

[the phantom]

V1: "Hey, the Dead are agitated. What do you think is going on?"

V2: "Dunno. Maybe all those dead Europeans want to vote and go to bed."

V1: "Yeah, you're probably right. Hey, let's debate our voting plan for another hour or so and then wait four hours to cast our votes."

V2: "Yeah, sounds good."

If I repped you for every post that makes me laugh in this game, you'd have more reputation than Legate by now. (Then again Legate would probably have doubled his as well.) Thanks for reminding us to feel positive on these bleak moments.

Agreed. I'm fine with myself being checked, but would think Rikae a better choice as she will stand there around the DL with a message like:

I solemnly swear to try and kill Morm or Form. If Mac and Lottie would help that would be nice.

[Nogrod]

It seems to be Kath's turn...

Form <--> sally
McCaber <--> Boro
morm <--> Lommy
Mith <--> Eomer
Kath <--> Shasta

[Rikae]

Nobody should vote early, too risssssky.

Indeed. Now that would be a sight...

Oh right. See? I really need to go to sleep earlier toDay. Also because I want to get some stuff done tomorrow morning.

I might abstain - unless the Living cook something up fairly soon; they started to seem being active, but how much remains still to be seen.

[Lalaith]

They seek him here
They seek her there,
They seek that sixth wolf everywhere...
Is he with the living
Or is she in hell,
That damned elusive....who?

Lottie's deal only works if she has a live wolf to trade...but what if....the sixth wolf is already dead? Here among us, right now? All those dead you haven't bothered to scry...Or what if I am in fact the third member of Lottie's pack and none of us know who the sixth wolf is? Or what if....oh, there are so many possibilities.
And don't worry. I am going to bed. No alarm clocks for me. On my honour as a Grip, or a Fang, or....

Have been kind of thinking about that...
