Wow. I'm impressed. You've done homework.

Excellent. That's one more person that will understand references to old villages.

So yeah... I'm definitely not voting for Strongbow today. I'm pleased with him right now.

Due to the earliness of the Day, I have nothing useful to say, and due to the lateness of the day, I have nothing funny to say...

...and now, just the minute I wrote that, Rikae asked me in all earnesty whether I think the phantom is drunk.

Anyway, a quick list of all the people who have posted so far, and then off to bed:

Boro - probably innocent.
Gwath - can't tell, slightly leaning innocent.
Aganzir - I'm not alarmed by her, but Rikae is, so I'm wary.
Sally - hasn't warmed up yet, leaning innocent.
Fea - another one that feels innocent-ish.
Nogrod - feels innocent, which is alarming.
Lari - newbie, therefore auto-assumed-innocent for first few days.
Brinniel - can't tell, but Rikae told me to be careful about her.
Kath - is here... and gone again.
phantom - very probably innocent.
tgwbw - amusing, but maybe more critical about our performances than about his syntax.
Menel - too careful and thus suspicious.
Ilya - probably innocent.
Strongbow - haven't played with him yet and I don't yet know what to make of him.

I wouldn't - not until at least you play the vital part in lynching two critics, yet continue to survive day after day, whilst we can't ever find the 3rd.

Resist the urge all you want, you'll only be delaying the inevitable end. That end being, when Day 3 comes and we're dragging our feet for ideas, because we've been spending all our energy in trying to ignore tp, we will start begging him to give us a plan. Luckily, tp doesn't hold grudges and he will certainly rub it in our faces that we caved in, but probably will ablige.

It's a physical and mental impossibility to ignore tp, he makes it this way. We can accept that early on, and work together for ideas, or we could waste our enery trying to block out his tune, when deep down you know you're listening to every note he sings and break down by Day 3? Which would you have?

This post is solely because I would like to go to bed with the pleasant knowledge that at this point in the opera, I am one audition ahead of tp - and this will most probably be the last point in which I have a lead.

Flattered for now.

What, have you heard something other than, "Phantom is a jolly nice chap who is always honest, though painfully simple and slow-witted"?

You haven't been listening to Fea, have you? She tends to stretch the truth a bit.

Ha ha!

What gave her that impression?

*puts down wine bottle*

But about your guesses, Mac- nice to see them. I'd say they are as good as we can make at present time. But allow me to say, there is one thing that you appear to be right about, but the reasoning that I believe led you to your conclusion wasn't quite right. In other words, if I see a Cobbler, and think he's a Werewolf, and then call him "evil", I'm right, aren't I? But not quite right. If you get my drift.

*hic*

Nope. Not drunk at all.

And Boro- what are you hoping to see Thursday? What sort of opera will OU and FU perform? A thrilling tale with a surprise ending? Will it feature huge stars singing brilliant arias? Or will it be a dud, and leave the audience booing half the cast?

EDIT: x-post Boro

Sing once again with me, our strange duet
My power over you, grows stronger yet

More like "witty". That would be a better assessment.

All right, just to make sure I have my time correct, the deadline is in slightly less than 12 hours?

Aw. You're the best, Fea. Praise from the praiseworthy and all that.

Anyway, I'm going to bed. I want to be able to get up early enough to read all the new posts, comment on the posts, make a couple remarks I've been sitting on, and cast a vote that is not rushed.

Probably that option. It seems like a good plan. Because he would probably have a good plan and, as I said, there is a possibility that I will lay awake tonight in fear of him.
