You would say that, wouldn't you? Remember, it's always one of the first three posters...

Wait, what did I say?

You see, it's this dreadful Black Breath, giving me a death wish!

What is even more depressing is the knowledge that there are those among us who want us to give up the will to live... creating a feedback loop of negativity and despair! How dreadful!

(Please note that I say "dreadful", not "terrible". If I were evil, I would have used the
phrase "terrible things" in order to torment Agan's departed spirit. Given this incontrovertible proof, I should obviously be considered a known innocent from now on.)

WHERE IS EVERYONE?

Have you all succumbed to the Black Breath already? Am I the last?

AIIIEEE! Woe is me, all alone in my dreadful (but not terrible) dark despair!

So let's lynch Lottie, Boro and Nerwen and be done with it... wait! That's not how this particular game works, is it?

That being said, I'm still studying the rules. I'll be posting some thoughts on them when I have a little more time and a computer, hopefully on my lunch break.

So weird but good to be playing again, it's been more than a year since the last game on the 'downs!

O-ho! Black Breath or no Black Breath, brace yourselves for a twelve-minute speech, because guess what? I have arrived!

Okay okay, maybe let's start more slowly. For one: if I got the rules right, then we should select a representative (yeah, a real pity about The Phantom). What I propose however is that also everyone suggests (maybe via a "normal" vote, i.e. bolded and not highlighted?) the name the representative should deliver to the Guards. It is, of course, then up to the Representative whether they behave like a democratically elected representative of the majority and deliver the name of the most suspected person, or whether they pick the person they choose themselves... and on top of everything, whether they are going to be honest about it. I can imagine several funny scenarios already, but let's not get too ahead of us.

As a sidenote, I realise this style of Day 1 may be helpful for the lazier existences among us who prefer not to cast a vote on Day 1, therefore delegating the responsibility on somebody else...

Also, since somebody has to mention this, and once again, the phantom isn't here to supply us with plans: since we are just waiting to get rescued, I wonder if a purposeful tie (or a purposeful miss of vote from the Representative) would actually be benefitial for the village. Meaning, the more there are of us, the greater chance we outnumber the Wolves, the bigger chance the Gifteds aren't mislynched, etc. Discuss?

Ha! See? That was a short post.

Under most circumstances, we'd find out next Day if the Representative had picked someone else.

Do you mean we agree in advance for the Representative not to send in a target? Or what?
