Cailin - I still need a role from you. Try to let me know before the roles go out, but it's not a huge deal if you can't.

Oops, sorry, forgot about that for a second.

To stay with the holiday spirit, I shall be a robin.

Durelin · 12-18-2006, 01:05 PM

No problem!

Just a note: the game has begun!

Day 1 will begin at 2:00 pm EST tomorrow.

(As a helpful time note: My post time for the beginning of Night 1 reads 1:52 pm.)

Durelin · 12-19-2006, 01:05 PM

Just a reminder: Day 1 has begun!

Durelin · 12-20-2006, 12:32 PM

I know I said "Double lynches" are allowed, but...any number of lynches is fine with me.

As long as no one is going to scream at me: whoever has the highest number of votes, however many people that is, will die.

So, what do you guys think of that?

(i.e. - if four people have 2 votes, and the highest number of votes anyone has is 2, then four people die.)

I know I'm evil!

Very evil.

We'll have to be careful of ties.

Durelin · 12-20-2006, 12:37 PM

I thought that might be encouraging in that area.

Btw, everyone - you guys are awesome! Over a hundred posts on Day 1?!

I love you guys!

Oh well, then, why don't you all just divvy up the votes equally amongst all of you and get it all over with in one multi-lynching? And then you can post over two hundred analysis posts in one day for the post-game discussion.

Durelin · 12-20-2006, 12:48 PM

It has been a while since there's been a "tie"...

mormegil · 12-20-2006, 01:42 PM

I'm a big fan and supporter of the multiple lynching, or at least currently I am and it's been long enough since it was allowed that I will enjoy it.

Incidentally, I will be gone all day tomorrow driving to Vegas and watching the Cougars play the Ducks...go Cougs! We will return Friday afternoon so don't count on me too much for the next day.

Folwren · 12-21-2006, 09:59 AM

I will not be here much the first most of Dance 2. I will pop in and out occasionally to read,but I doubt I'll be posting much.

Also, I must tell all of the playres here, if I am mean or anything on the game thread, sarcastic, cold, cruel....it's because I'm trying very hard to stay within the character of the Countess.

Durelin · 12-21-2006, 10:10 AM

Sorry, Kath!

Blame them, not me.

Alright, everyone, I have a questions for you:

mormegil cannot be here all of today, but wishes to get his vote in. He has PMed me about who he wishes to vote for.

I will post his vote at some point (and will do so well before the deadline, of course...perhaps I should post it immediately, at the start of the Day? That's up to all of you to decide, too, if you think any certain time is fairer.), and it will count towards the vote tally at the end.

He pointed out that he knows this has not been done before, and if I or any of you have a problem with it, he won't mind at all.

Personally, I don't have a problem with it, though I can see plenty of reasoning that could go both ways.

Let me know what all of you think. And promise me that none of you will use anyone's opinion on this matter in the game (against them or otherwise).

Thanks!

Celuien · 12-21-2006, 10:16 AM

Very interesting.

I don't have a problem with the vote appearing. If he feels that strongly about having the vote in, I suppose allowances can be made.

I'd rather that the vote appeared at the beginning of the day so that it's out for discussion and everyone knows how the votes will add up to avoid a double lynching surprise at the end of the day.

It will certainly make for some interesting discussion...

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 12-21-2006, 10:17 AM

That sounds fair enough to me. I think it should be the first post of the day.

Celuien · 12-21-2006, 01:06 PM

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be away for the last about 6 hours of the day. So my vote will have to come slightly early.

Folwren · 12-28-2006, 01:20 PM

FOUR!! Good heaven's above! My head was already spinning and then I read that I was killed by the wolf!!

Oh, if only dead men could talk!! I'd talk here, by golly, I'd - I'd - well, all I can say is, it's a jolly good thing the wolf killed me, because I had it pinned!! AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!

(Of course, that's just speculation. I do suspect someone very strongly, but I can't talk....)

P.S. Holbytlass, to act Foleyish means to act like I usually act in these games and elsewhere on the Downs. Ask Nogrod, he knows what I mean, and what I usually act like.
