Er, this "veteran friend" of yours isn't a member on the 'Downs is he/she?

Yes he or she is and I hope to face him or her in the next game... I'll go to the thread and announce my intentions.

Ah, well, not to be a wet-blanket or anything (& it could be that I missed some sort of explanation earlier) but, is that entirely legal?

Not that I care but I was under the impression that there wasn't to be communication about the game (or at least not roles) with any other BDers.

Like I said, I don't much care, just wondering if I'm way off here or...

He/she was not active in the game and referred me to the site. They were not active in the game and basically got my *** lynched. Sorry for being honest. It seems people know people on this site, I never PMd out of turn and even told the Mod that some people thought they could, hence that early warning. Someone turned me onto the site and I went to him/her for advice because him/her was not involved. Besides the advice of him/her sucked and I am now my own man. That should **** him/her off.

The Only Real Estel · 01-26-2006, 09:06 PM

I see. I'm pretty sure it was one of the firstermost rules so it might be buried by now...not to surprised you didn't look it up.

Anyways, I was just curious, it's by no means up to me whether you're fine or not so I think I'll butt back out of this.

So New England. The HS is all I need to hear. I'm not prepared for the jail house.
To The Only Real Estel I know I broke no rules I was just asking a friend for advice. I am against cheating and it is all too obvious that the advice failed, I won't turn to him/her again in the next match. As much as I wanted to I never cheated.
Farael Was from me, good play!

Well, thank you, Garin, for the compliment, although I'm glad to see that you didn't get me lynched that second day.

I must say that I'm rather concerned about your asking for advice from outside the game. I know that the him/her(I'm pretty sure this him/her is morm, as that's who referred you to the Barrowdowns, if I recall correctly.) wasn't in the game, but it still seems unfair that you used outside help. I don't know that it's actually against the rules, but, in my mind at least, it violates the spirit of the game. That being that each has to rely on himself to figure stuff out, except the wolves, who want to be a team and get nobody to figure anything out. Asking someone for advice just seems to take that 'alone', or for werewolves: 'alone with two', element out of the game.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd advise against asking 'outsiders' (outside the game) for help.

That's actually pretty amazing...I'm from MA, too (though I won't say where just now, as my parents have raised me paranoid)...Does your school let you just use the computer? Mine will barely let us research without dire threats of death (or at least detnetion) should we stray from our path of academically-related sites.

Great game, all. I enjoyed getting back into Werewolf, and loved the new twists. I only wish I had more time to spare!

Well, I'm off to sleep (though it's not that late here, but I've been on the road since yesterday and really need to rest: The amount of typos I have made then fixed is strictly incredible.)

Don't know if anyone is going to read this but. I'm back! Sorry(RL, RDeath) for leaving things the way they were, I knew we could have won and that really bugged me. The more I thought about it though the more I couldn't come up with a way to get Farael to change his mind about Malka. Damn! Cailin, I had no intention of using you as my pick or voting for you those last couple days....thanks for saving my butt!(however suspicious at the time that was).

Form, it would have been a great duel death at the end! You have some talent in the narration dept. that's for sure. I really enjoyed myself!

Don't know if I should join another game or wait a bit.....

Thanks everyone. Good times by all!!
