Frankly I feel that I owe you at least a day worth of protection after seeing you being so right and no one believing you. You deserve some payback.

I must say that while he is usually fairly verbose tp seems a bit peppier than normal, almost silly which has me slightly worried. I tend to trust him because he is fairly serious and he seems genuine about helping if cocky and arrogant, but I get a feeling of silliness that could indicate that he knows more than the rest of us, if you know what I mean.

Good fodder for a future fillibuster though. I mean, I'm sure someone besides Phantom could talk about him(self) for several hours.

You should've left the "self" off of there. It would amuse me beyond belief to see someone filibuster with me as the subject. No doubt it would be insulting most of the time. But still- even bad press is good for name recognition.

Thank goodness. I'm finally getting sleepy. I have to wake up for work in a few hours, so I'd like to get some sleep. I won't be posting for much longer.

Should we even try to foil likely plots, or allow for them and catch them in the act? That's what I would lean towards hence my support for keeping all of the options open.

Why so anxious for us to give the wolves ideas, Phantom?

++No Filibuster

Because.

Just because.

So there.

Also, tp is a werewolf because it would amuse Fea to make him one. I'm sure of this.

In case anyone is interested, I will not be around at the deadline for choosing Reps but I will be around at the deadline for lynching someone. Unless my roommate needs to use the internet. But still, I'm here for you. I have your best interests at heart, and I won't lynch anyone who votes for me. At least not on Day 1. You can be sure I'll try to lynch you all the next time I get a chance, because obviously anyone who votes for a Rep just on the promise of not being lynched is a werewolf.

Now that that plot is explained, no one will vote for me. Unless you want to point out that you wouldn't be so bold as to vote for me when I pointed out that voting for me is wolfish. Or wolvish, if you want to be all Tolkieny about it. But really, just vote for me. I'm going to try to get phantom lynched. Because Fea would make him a wolf, and you know it.

I also will not ever edit my posts to say who I x'ed with, or crossed with, or xcrossed with, because that's annoying.

I really wanted to say that in my first post but was afraid Fea would yell at me.

Nerwen - Really, I pick you out as the Seer and you immediately call me a wolf? Where's the love?

Like the speed limit. Does it really make sense that an individual with poor eyesight, poor coordination, poor reaction time, and poor judgement is allowed to go the same maximum speed as me?
Does it make more sense to set a different speed limit for every driver? Really?

And now I believe I'll channel the spirit of out late, much lamented President:

Well picked, Shasta. I am indeed the Seer, and if the real Seer tries to tell you any different, remember that he or she has a vested interest.

Shasta and tp are wolves, of course. Or perhaps Shasta and Brinniel. Their strategy is obvious: they're going to be extremely friendly to each other... just because we all know wolves would never be that obvious, don't we?

I have spoken.

Don't take it so hard on yourself though, I only was able to join in the end for the 48 hour days. Finally, I can play ww and go to work! Life makes a little more sense again.

Oh! You figured it out. We decided to trade titles every millenia. The poor guy is so modest he feels wracked by any sort of lime light. Last time we talked he mentioned something about using the 'anonymus' concept or something. So far it seems to be working out for him, people love a good mystery.

Unless you were just talking about my ol'self, except, *looks over m'self* I'm sorry to disappoint your expectations. I just don't have the right equipment to be a 'male'. In the first, second or third person.

Good point, we don't want too many California's and Texas' running about when us 'only one or two' electorial voters are trying to make the little man heard.

Though, I think that equal weight rule is already in play according to our Mods.
Two votes for one rep is the same weight for someone who likes to flaunt ten, the requirement is that you at least have two votes.
... Unless the rules changed from whence in the admin thread? I'm not sure, and if someone does know, don't feel prudish over correcting it.

Murder, murder
In the night air!
Murder, murder
It's a nightmare!
Murder, murder
It's a right scare!
Bloody murder
In the night!

Murder, murder
Makes your heart thump!
Murder, murder
Makes your nerves jump!
Murder, murder
Makes your blood pump!
Bloody murder
In the night!

.......Sorry, I've been obsessed with this song lately, and it seems to fit Werewolf very well.

The only thing that's stopping me from choosing you Master phantom is you have mithril in your skull. Once you're set, aint nothing getting through that head of yours. I could say I'm the seer, I could be killed and be proven to be the seer, and tell you Mac's a wolf, but if that goes against your intellectual fiber you will still argue his innocence.
