YEs, have you never read Cowper (or indeed "To the lighthouse")?

"we drowned each alone, but I beneath a rougher sea was whelmed in deeper gulphs than he"

I find that ratehr a ppropriate for a ww game. And return to see if anyone has posted anything vaguely useful...

I've always thought drowning was the worst way to die. I see nothing romantic about throwing yourself/falling into a river and drowning for love, no matter what all those historic fiction writers say.

*sigh*
That's what she said.

I would definitely rather be drownded than burned. If you people feel like giving me the choice.

EDIT: X'd with Lommy, Izzy, Phantom

Oh... well, maybe you're right. In retrospect, maybe drowning's not the worst.

*ponders*

Aieee really this game drives me so mad I'm tempted to vote myself.

Rikae · 03-18-2009, 03:19 PM

Actually, I think Nogrod is right. I lied about a lack of posting requirements. After all, having posting requirements when people think you don't means that they will assume your odd behavior is cobblery and... er... lynch you... which is just what I want.

And what Shasta wants, too, which is why he said he didn't have them either. And Nogrod too (originally typed "Nogod"

). I also only get mad to manipulate people, because I'm unsporting like that.

Actually, it's just what I *would* want, if I was a cobbler; but if I was a cobbler, you wouldn't want to lynch me. All in all, Nogrod seems a little overeager to accuse; experienced as he is, he ought to know better (and that goes for his earlier words about the "slip" so and so made, as well - since several people said things like "maybe we're all wolves/cobblers/ordos" at that point, it was clearly not meant seriously.)

Well, enough ranting.
*shuts up*

Ooh, not to mention, were I trying to get lynched, I could come up with crazy antics that would do the trick without any help from the moddess.

I hope that's not your objection.

Anyway... I mean WHAT-IS-GOING-ON-HERE. It is clear that amidst ranting people, it will be really hard to come up with something... normal.

No death is always preferable to any death.

It is meant to be relatively pleasant though how would they knwo.. but dying for love is a ridiculous way to behave... so is living for it
