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

Nerwen- make sure and tell us if you're dreaming Rikae or Nog so that we can scry the other one.

Isn't that something for tomorrow - well the next Night?

Or are you just filling the thread?

Or have I misunderstood something?

Ha ha ha! You're right, Nog. I was thinking as if Nerwen wouldn't be back until tomorrow, but we get to talk all Night.

When I scroll up my eyes combine Morm's plan with Nog's sig, like so:

Upon the wolf the Form is red
Form is a wolf there is a bed
But not yet hairy are our feet...

Perfect

As for me, then... I think I am slowly going to start shuffling towards the bed. If there isn't any decent voting option by the time I get there, I think I will simply leave without a vote toDay, even though Nog has now kindly offered himself to wake me up in case something really interesting started happening while he is still around. But yeah. If I am not back, then vote well...

I'm perfectly fine with that name. In this game that is.

So if they lynch a wolf, Nerwen checks Rikae and you others can scry me.

Ok by me.

No, not special treatment, Legate. It's just that now I have a phone and a texting plan whereas before I did not. I purchased them the day after getting Agan's number. I mean- what was the point in having a phone previously?

Lommy: "WHAT THE HELL the Dead thread has 1,154 posts!!!?!!"

Anyway I'm confident she'll vote soon because she's tired. Fingers crossed. I don't dare to prompt her.

Wholeheartedly in favor of empowering Lommy at this point. Hopefully she votes for morm soon like she just said she probably would.

Agreed.

Do you think we have the numbers (for sure) or do I poke Legate to come and make a vote (he went to bed some twenty-30 minutes ago and I promised to give him a push if there was a clear voting-chance)?

I suppose that depends on what happens later when more people have voted. Knowing the village (and the wolves' careful scheming), they'll probably manage to muddle it up so that our vote somehow ties it!

I just read yesterDay's and last Night's dead thread
I start to understand why all the dead I've seen in RL (Agan, Nog and Legate) have been maniacally laughing with their laptops/ smartphones all the time. Dad thread? Mith becoming the phantom? The phantom collecting people's phone numbers? ALSO FYI MAC PENGUINS ARE COOL. (Literally probably, har har.) Rikae's wolf cupcake? Morm banning the innocent from the 'Downs? Lalaith's reminisces of murderous rockhopper penguins?

Nice to have been the village champion. Although genuinely sorry for taking my time to vote! I was worried every Day about the village not giving the dead thread guidelines early enough but I never thought whom the living vote would make such a big deal.

Heh- I would certainly text you if I could. But despite my jokes, that remains out of the realm of possibility (no texting on my plan- this is literally the first time I've ever wanted it).

Though perhaps between Nog, Legate, and Agan there could be some sort of texting chain worked out?

Yeah I already texted her to tell her she made me laugh.

If you have a data plan (or wifi) though, we use whatsapp. All of us except Legate I think (who's just lazy).

If she'd just vote.

Anyway how about us eurooppalaiset vote for her, and those of you able to stick around longer hold it in case something drastic happens?

Also if I had to guess I'd say McC is our remaining wolf.

It could be a deal as she's most clearly going to vote anyway - so no vote lost there.

Btw. my internet just started going slower and slower, and then died a moment ago, but happily a restart made it alive again...
