Ahh...and I realize I didn't answer Hakon's questions about the shirriffs.

Many moons ago, in WW, there were 2 shirriffs. They knew each other and could PM back and forth during the day. If one was the killed the other could reveal as being the other shirriff. So, basically similar to the lovers role, only lovers typically have a choice of getting a 'revenge' kill, and hope to stay together until the end. Where the Shirriffs could just reveal and be a known innocent. I can't remember the last game that had them, they weren't all that interesting.

So, Boro, dearest darling please,

could I beseech you to use the proper number-- LXV (65)--when you start your game thread? It'll make all of us nitpicklers MUCH happier to get back on track.

To be fair, I noticed the admin thread after I put it up. I saw it and then went wait...no, I did that wrong there has to have been a bunch more games than that! So I checked Mnemo's game thread and then I checked Brinn's to make sure the numbers seemed right. And they did.

Yes, yes.

And...what's a sheriff? I don't think I've seen that role and now this thread of mentioning it.

You're a silly girl.

(Look at the post above yours, dear one.)

Lariren Shadow · 08-08-2009, 08:30 PM

Wow, I fail. I read that post and didn't think that was what I read about...

alonariel · 08-08-2009, 08:35 PM

Lari, may I inquire as to your superhero name - Hover Girl?

I came up with the most useless superpower I could think of. I was sort of just like "ok being like three feet off the ground and hovering, that's totally useless!"

Not unless the ground spontaneously caves beneath everyone on the planet!

It's quite good, at least in my head. I'm imagining you sitting with your legs crossed hovering above the ground at precisely three feet.

Is it a constant state of hovering...or can you control it? It would kind of suck to never be able to touch ground. haha

Form, welcome aboard...and now it's time for me to correct you. The 13th is Thursday, but maybe you are thinking that would be Night 1, so Day 1 would then be Friday? I can send out roles and have Night 1 on the 12th (wednesday) and then Day 1 would start Thursday.

That would mean I would need the surveys by the 11th (Tuesday).

I changed the title in the post, but I can't change the Title that displays in the forum, that we will have to get an Admin to do I believe.

Have you discovered your super-power...expertise in Roman numerals?

Oh wow... Shirriffs is a LONG time ago. Long in the sense of "I think they might not have been used since before Formie started playing." I don't think I ever played in a Shirriffs game anyway--I KNOW I wasn't ever one.

Yes... basically Lari-style lovers (both on the Ordo side), but weaker. And less mushy.

My first game ever, which was like game number 3 or 4 or something, haha, a looonnngg time ago, I was a shirriff. It was quite fun.

Cannot believe how fast this game filled up! Awesome!

For anyone who cares, besides Boro

, about my butterfly myths, here are the three that I used for my little minions (awesome names were given by Mr. Mod-God though):

~ In mythology, the butterfly is rarely distinguished from the moth, so since the moth is irrevocably drawn to a flame, both are related to Fire. (hence Firefly)

~ In the 1600's, a dwarf spaniel was developed that is named for its broad, erect, and feathery ears, ie. the Papillon, (aka Continental spaniel) which is the French word for "butterfly." (hence the vicious dog)

~ Choas theory: described as the disturbance of the air caused by the movements of a butterfly's wings that can, over time and with changing circumstances, become a hurricane. (hence Gust boy)

And in case anyone is finding it hard to picture the beauty that is a butterfly as being evil, the Dalai Lama said that butterflies are extremely uncaring creatures.

I am having waaayyyyy too much fun with this, haha.

I'm not having any trouble.

They are terrifying!

Heh, I'm not the only one around here who is afraid of them, either...
