Hey. I am just stating some general principles here.

But I guess we can agree on that nobody of us expected anything like this at all. Never. Anywhere.

I am rather more unreasonably angry than I have any right to be at what is, at the end of the day, a game.

If you look back into this thread, I think you will find a way to relate in this way to those who came before you Chill out, listen to a song, get it off your chest... that's what Dead Thread is for.

(Apparently. Since even when they vote, it does not change the outcome Sorry, dear Dead friends, I had to.)

If you thinking of it as killing off his own team (and thus himself), that really was the Nilping to end all Nilping.
Yeah I remember that being a contested point in one of the previous games and I can't remember who the moderator was but they completely disappeared for 2 or so weeks and the game went dead.

I think it's been generally accepted anything that comes in at :00 is good. Anything :01 is not.

On a totally different issue: kudos to Boro for the narration! Loved it.
Thanks Nogrod. :-)

I've played probably too many games of 'Downs Werewolf and I think it has always been the rule, that :00 is okay and :01 is not.

*hugs* If it helps, I said somewhere earlier that there was a good reason I picked you for my first dream. You were incredible and it's their own fault they didn't listen to you. <3 (And seriously, there's several pages here of us cheering you on and yelling at pretty much everyone else.)

Welcome, Shasta.

Make yourself comfortable... and for you, but also for all you others (because I am going to sleep, myself), something to enjoy during my absence, and most of all, to wrap up toDay - Today. Very fitting, I daresay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edwnDIstQjo
