Hi all. Sorry to come in so late.

Read through the posts thusfar and I have nothing substantive to add other than the fact that I am sufficiently scared of every single one of you.

So if anyone needs me I'll be playing medieval total war inside the prompt box, because, frankly, isn't anyone's time well spent reconquista-ing the reconquista? I'll be back once the Iberian peninsula is mine.

Those cavalry units on the northern mountains may prove to be a hindrance though...

Making the point that a triple lynch (anyway we only can make a double-lynch) might be risky... hmmm... to whom at this point? For the critics themselves I think... one lynch and we probably end up with a fine and innocent singer toDay; a double lynch... the odds to bring down a critic get better... or at least the critics should have more to fear at this early hour if that option is open.

Anyway: confessedly lacking a sense of humour? A well known trait of music-critics over the whole wide world. Artists have fun, critics are grumpy, everyone knows that.

An ironic question, and one which does not follow very closely from the post in view. Nogrod attempts to make himself look good by accusing me of trying to make myself look good. Nice try.
Accusing? Aren't we a wee bit touchy now?
*not an accusation, a question...*

Going to sleep now... you know the voice needs some rest.

But I can't resist the fitting ending for my part at this time, noticing Mith's comments on backing Rossini.

So let me end up with a part from "Guillaume Tell".

Sois immobile, et vers la terre
Incline un genou suppliant.
Invoque Dieu: c'est lui seul, mon enfant,
Qui dans le fils peut épargner le père.

Demeure ainsi, mais regarde les cieux.
En menaçant une tête si chère,
Cette pointe d'acier peut effrayer tes yeux.
Le moindre mouvement... Jemmy, songe à ta mère!
Elle nous attend tous les deux!


So let's be careful out there that we don't get a twisted wagon rolling with innocent eyes looking at the arrow of death to the eye.

The two are by no means mutually exclusive. A question can be used to state one's opinion quite as easily as any other form of sentence, and your question had distinct accusatory overtones. Whether or not I was being touchy is a matter of perspective, however, and you can't please everyone.

And TGWBS needs to stay alive. Don't kill him early, Wolves! For even you must appreciate a laugh now and again.

Hmm... This is the first game where I've actually been scared of the Cobbler.

He'll dream of the gifteds and tell the Werewolves. He has true power. He's not just a suicidal distraction.

I'm currently thinking through things he could do. There are some interesting possibilities. I've thought of one devious ploy he could run, but I'd rather wait and look for it as opposed to announce it ahead of time. Anyway... just thinking out loud here.
