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.

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!

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...

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.

Durelin · 12-22-2006, 11:25 AM

Just a reminder to everyone, and I mean everyone! I'm not singling anyone out.

Take it easy! Have fun. Don't take anything personally, and don't deal out anything insulting. If you mean to insult jokingly (which is totally fine by me), keep in mind how the person is going to take it (you know each other, or at least your online personas, well enough to know who might take it poorly). Make sure they know you're joking.

And please, by all means, throw insults at each other as much as you want...just make sure they know they're not personal.

Otherwise...carry on!

Lalwendë · 12-22-2006, 11:33 AM

Well I hope I've not upset anyone! If anyone is feeling so, it's just a game! And besides, the real vitriol happens when myself and davem settle down to play the Lord of the Rings Trivia Game. Brrr, real insults fly then...

Still loving this Werewolf lark!

My family gets ugly when playing miniature golf...I don't even want to know what it would be like if they played WW.

Yes, ma'am. I'll try. Really, I will. I get so excited in these games, real mafia games, too, that it's insane. But, I take no grudges or dislikes outside the game.

And in this game particularly, I must say again, especially don't take anything personal from me. Countess Folwren is different than what I might normally say in a game.

Yes, it's the simple matter that both joking and "in-character-ness" is hard to tell sometimes.

Eh, forget about feelings, all of you. Just have fun.
