Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves)

[Cailín]

Though I'd normally be able to vote right before the deadline, I shall be forced to cast an extremely early vote today. I'm visiting a friend who lives on the other side of the country and won't return till tomorrow. May the Prophet forgive me.

[Thinlómien]

I'm going to leave soon (and I'm going to be away for a while), but I will be back before voting time. Just to inform you.

And I'd be happy if I knew what our thread's name means...

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

It's in Filipino.

~Ang (definite article) = The

~Saga (English word)

~-ng (inflection when adding an adjective)

~Daga (BD's foreign word of the decade) = Mouse

~bow (English word) *I added it to make it resemble the Filipino parody of simple poems.

So, it means 'The Mousey Saga, bow.' Or something like that.

Originally I planned to title it 'The Saga Sagaciously Continues', but daga called to me.

[Lhunardawen]

And keeping one of daga's familial connotations in mind, it was completely appropriate.

There is an increasing tendency for players to post on this thread simply to tell people when, during the Day, they will be on-line and when they will be voting. I am not so sure that this is a good thing, as it clutters up the thread and should not really be necessary. If there are time zone issues then, if people are not already aware, these can be made clear before the game starts.

Otherwise, I think that the noticeboard should only really be used during a game to notify long periods of absence (ie a Day or more).

[Anguirel]

I'm sorry to be such a Puritan, but might I ask-just a precaution, there haven't really been any cases yet-that people don't get too excited about the Lovers aspect, with regard to language etc?

I don't mind in the least, but I have an extremely stringent school server which blocks sites based on the mildest little things. It would be a pity to find myself barricaded from the Downs for the vast majority of the year when I'm incarcerated here...

To quote our current Mod-God:

All out-of-character comments, regarding absences, discussion of rules, usw, must be placed in the original Tol-in-Gaurhoth thread.

If someone knows they will have to vote early they often want to say why so they aren't unduly suspected for it. Since this can't be done in the game thread it must be done in here. Coming on each day and providing a list of when you'll be online is a little over the top I'll grant you, but I think it's ok to explain early votes.
