Cailín has just left Hobbiton.
Well, I have little time today to even read the thread properly, but there is no direct need for that, since I already know exactly where this game is going just by glancing at the player list:

Cailín’s frustration will slowly rise as the phantom and Feanor of the Peredhil talk in riddles and special sign language that no one else really understands, but at least Sally and Boromir88 will pretend they do. This will lead to much dramatic arias on her part, but somehow she cannot help listening to their advice until Day 4, when - in a rebellious fit - she will turn on these self-proclaimed leaders of the theatre and try to get the phantomlynched, who will still be alive by some cruel twist of fate. This will be successful (naturally), but the phantom turns out to be just another ordinary Singer and TGWBS, whom she claimed she’d trust till the end of times, will proceed to kill everyone with merciless reviews in cave-man grammar.

It is also clear that I shall win this competition. Great range is all well and good, but being two-gendered is well… operatic! Still, best eliminate:

++NOGROD

Because the extent of his indecisiveness could lead to problems later on.

I suggest you keep me alive, because I predict my mental breakdown is truly going to be something tragic. Good to be with you all.

A happy moddess - on the whole

Though I have a few notes for you....

Football is not amusing to the moddess unless it is Rugby which few of you will really understand or appreciate. Even my favourite court jesters should bear this in mind.

I adore Alan Rickman (not as much as I adore the Phantom of course) so talking about him is more acceptable though not terribly constructive.

Otherwise lots of giggles

And the Offenbach barcarolle is a great favourite of mine... well sung!

Much interesting thing happen. Wild Man analyse each person. Wild Man not have too much free time - Wild Man prioritize poorly.

phantom - talk much. phantom talk wise, but phantom always talk wise! Ergo Wild Man not know what think. Wisdom not sign of innocence, but Wild Man think - and hope - he innocent.

Boro - talk much, say little. But what he say wise - kill Cobbler, diva/o not reveal. Wild Man inclined to think he innocent.

Gwath - talk much, say very little. Wild Man not know what think. Wild Man not play Gwath before. On one hand, wise: ignore Fea, rebuff Nogrod. On other, not say much, seem present but not commit own viewpoint.

Nogrod - Accuse Gwath on poor grounds. But Wild Man feel this just to make discussion. Wild Man inclide to think Nogrod innocent.

Aganzir - Not German. Seem reasonable. No link between two preceding sentence, of course, Mac!

Mac - Say Menel too careful. Wild Man agree. But he himself seem too careful! Not explain thought process. Therefore Wild Man wary of him.

Menel - Too careful. Wild Man wary of him. Cast Cobbler suspicion on phantom, perhaps he want deflect attention?

Sally - Like syntax. Wild Man not know what think yet. Seem not say much although talk much.

Brinniel - Very careful - not suspect anyone! This bad.

Lariren - Say little but seem reasonable in what she say.

Strongbow - Alcoholic beverage. Seem ok.

Feanor Peredhillion - Make Wild Man head hurt. Say nothing of use. Wild Man want lynch.

Ilya - Wild Man not know why people trust. He wary. She talk in riddle, she say soulmate be loud. But she new. So Wild Man give doubt-benefit. Also, Medieval Total War make Wild Man think of own youth in day of yore.

Shasta / Kath / Gollum - Use few word. Wild Man like word. Please use more word.

Cailineomer - Seem to engage little. Vote Nogrod for same meta-reason Wild Man want lynch Fea (and former time phantom). Please use more word. But Wild Man trust more than Shasta-Kath-Gollum.

Wild Man suspect many. But this better than suspect none. Wild Man raise in forest, in mountain! Wild Man know world harsh.

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?~tp
I despise both of them, but that Sooner should have shut his mouth against UF, Tebow will show him a running QB I fear. I hope OU gets destroyed and Bradford has a horrible game, just so the Lions hopefully won't take him with the 1st pick.

But, hey now I let you do your thing, now let me get discussion way off track and way out of use to look like the cobbler. That's my protection at night! You know what this does, now that I have bluntly stated what I'm doing, right? Now, let's see if the critics have the nerve to do what they couldn't last time.

Cailin gets a pass today, I want to nominate that for my "Best post of the day" contest. A little rusty as WW is a tune she has not practiced for a while? Nope, not Cailin, always prepared. And I want to see how her scenario plays out.

tgwbs gets a pass too, not for the Wild Man speech, but very similar to Cailin. Away for a while? No problem, the show starts and he's already in full stride.

That's all, everyone else - watch out.
