Mac you're evil, you weren't allowed to say so! It's a privilege reserved to me. I'll remove your name instantly from my top 18 list.

Hmm if they are allowed (Di! How immoral of you!) then my little plan doesn't work. Gah.

I think Mac is a baddie because he just talks about game dynamics which is a good way to appear helpful without really being it. Besides he's trying to dishearten us by saying that we're unlikely to contribute much to the deaths of the were-creatures. He could for example accuse people instead!

You in turn seem to be quite over-eager to accuse, my dear.


By the way, I think it's quite sensible to discuss game dynamics when you haven't even reached post 10 yet. I daresay it's more helpful than just bantering - though maybe not as funny, I admit.

And as it looks, post 10 won't come yet for a long while (EDIT: okay, x-ed, now it doesn't fit that much anymore). To say something serious, in contrary to most things which have been told here: I agree that speaking about game dynamics is nothing bad, at least to me, Mac's post helped to kind of sort my thoughts. But then, I think not much further discussion on that topic is needed. So, let's try not to make it the main topic from now on.

Now to say something even more serious: bxcblamsxfrt.

Okay, that'd be it from me now. Let's see if anybody else shows up. Hopefully they will.

...
P.S. Especially for some people, just a preventive note: no, we are not.

Yeah, like that makes any sense. He's just trying to confuse us. Let's kill him.



All in all, it seems rather quiet(ish). Sorry I wasn't around first thing this Morning but I decided to crash early and then I didn't get up at like 4am like I planned. (That's right. 4am. To play Werewolf. Gah, I'm a strange little one.)


I think I'll pop out to class and hope it's a bit louder when I return. Either way, I'll post something more then.


EDIT: x'd with Legate. Sweetie, are you sick? Because you aren't making a lick of sense.

I don't think a serious person may believe anything like that, unless it is a mass conspiracy, in which case: stop that! Just for this reason, and after the experience from the last game, I put this into my very first post in this game:

I was under the impression that we're not allowed to know the particulars of roles at all.

Ie: we may or may not have a bazillion wolves, we could all, in fact, be wolves, maybe secretly nobody is? We're all for ourselves? This is just me exaggerating, but the point it: we don't actually know how many bad guys are amongst us.

This reminds me of the game I ran when both my wolves were dead in the first day or so and I didn't want to end so I just didn't bother revealing roles and let the village kill itself. Last man standing won (Saucie). Di, I merely assume roles will be revealed upon death?

Yesss. I love blood.
And your agreeing we should lynch me wasn't an accusation - it was a nasty joke which made me very sad. *sniff*

Me too. I was just trying to come up with a reason to accuse you. You know, everything can be used against you and such. Maybe you're just a were-creature trying to be sensible.

Oops, I should probably have read the narration a bit more closely. From now on I promise to be nice and read everything well.

Anyway I'm off to do something else now, see you later.

No, no, let me make this clear. First, this is no secret language. It is a part of common education to know it. Second, these are no secret messages. You may as well ignore that.

Now, to say something constructive: a crane.

No, please, people, come and post. The fact that this far, just five people showed up, and one of them is dead, has probably bad impact on me.

It is rather quiet isn't it? I was hoping to wake up and find a whole slew of posts waiting for me.

The only thing that jumped out at me was Agan and Mac's back and forth, but simply because it amused me. Other than that there's nothing to really comment on. I'll return after class and hopefully have a decent post to put up.

Strange.

I woke up and went on here, but no-one posted, so I thought that maybe we weren't meant to post.

Anyway, here I am, and it seems a very quiet first day.


I think this game is quite to different to many others in that the wolves want each other dead just as much as we want them dead. Or have I read the rules wrongly?
