WWLVIII: Escape From Angband (or Behavioral Modification) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Lariren Shadow · 03-29-2009, 03:13 PM

So we haven't had a discussion about the assassin yet. Anyone else a little bit weirded out by this? I mean, sure we can just accept that the assassin is taking out Ducks/wolves at Night. But is this "an assassin" or is this a werebear taking out the ever multiplying Ducks for their own good? And then innocents(or what's left of us) will start to die?

I am utterly confused by some things at the moment but that thought just struck me.

The ducks would be... annoyed even.

What evidence is there for multiplying ducks? That would require a drake not an alpha duck .

Mithalwen · 03-29-2009, 04:15 PM

I think the assassin has been altruistic. Must be significant that we have never lost an extra innocent at night...

ATTN: Nogrod.

You are not allowed to post on the thread after three hours before deadline. This is 7:00 CST which I believe translates to 3:00 a.m. your time?

Doing so will get you modfired.

This is not a joke, and anyone who tries to get you to post afterwards does not have your best interests at heart.

Sally is currently slumbering. Should she wake in the meantime and rescind this order, it is rescinded; otherwise it stands.

I repeat: this is not a joke; this is serious.

Okay. The tough line continues then...

As you wish your duckess. I probably have deserved this even if I don't have a clue as to why.

But I'll get a more decent night's sleep without needing to feel quilty of not being around to do what I can. And granted there's no drastic change in some fundamental things I find it unlikely I will miss anything dramatic.

Hopefully...

So unless I or Fea retracts the result holds, right?

Mithalwen · 03-29-2009, 04:53 PM

There might be modfire and destruction.

But I think maybe not....

Goodnight.

Post scriptum.....

As for being high up the puppet strings ... wellI always remember the comparison of an organisation being like a load of monkeys in a tree.

The monkeys at the top look down at a lot of happy faces.

The monkeys lower down look up and see a bunch of.... well ..you get the idea...

Therefore you must be a duck, too?

Whether or not you believe me, I don't care, the following comments have nothing to do with that - but stop letting Mith make you feel bad. Obviously there have been a couple roles in this game that have enabled people to just kinda "know" or act like they know precisely what's going on. Playing their own game. Ignore them. If they really do have some way of helping behind the scenes, they'll just keep doing that.

Kinda late to remark on that. Ah well.

Aw, come on Mith. You're instructed to change your vote and that's the best you can come up with? You're better than that...

Edit: Crossed with the co-moddess. Trust me, I'll tell him to go to bed and won't try to keep him around. I love sleep. It's why I hate college.

Nogrod · 03-29-2009, 04:30 PM

Nilp ++ Everyone
Nilp ++ Nilp
Fea ++ Dury
Mith ++ Dury
Nogrod ++ Dury
Mith -- Dury
Mith ++ Mayhem

Kind of like I predicted earlier on the Day...

The ducks to vote still. Luckily it is the first person to reach the highest number of votes that counts.

EDIT: x'd with Mnemo & Dury.

Mithalwen · 03-29-2009, 04:35 PM

Aww I am just trying to be sporting... which is hard when you have to fish with a depth charge...

Mithalwen · 03-29-2009, 04:36 PM

And mayhem is my drug of choicel..... that and chocolate of course... but such a tired Mith... bout to turn into pumpkin...

Mithalwen · 03-29-2009, 04:39 PM

It is inevitable ... I think.... but she has played so magnificently I thoil to deliver the coup de grace.... but now Mnemo is being fierce with Nogrod I couldback off
