I'm not having any trouble.

They are terrifying!

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

Yes the narrations should be clear enough as to whom killed who. For your other question, don't trouble me with abnormal scenarios which are unlikely to happen. Kidding, oi that's difficult, right now all I'll say is a super battle will take place. I think bears like anything sweet, and nothing might be sweeter than syrup covered legs. Although, the millions of flies may mask the syrup and spare your life

Use it as often and as long as you want. Of course I won't stop anyone from wating to lynch you for it, but it'd be highly amusing.

That sound much better than doing it the whole time I can't speak for anyone else, though.

Roles will be sent out Tuesday at around 10pm, and Night 1 will then start at 11pm. Making Day 1 start Wednesday at 11pm.

So, by Tuesday (say roughly noon - 1pm) I will need from:

Brinn - power and answers
Hakon - power
Lommy - power and answers
Pitch - answers
Shasta - answers

P.S. Thanks sally for pointing out that I used the wrong word...I thought that was Nienna's power? Oh wiat, she just analyzes people based on the frequency of words used. Apparently I used "power" and "answers" a lot...what's that say about me?

Getting on it now, sir. *salutes* Oh, and as a point of interest (or perhaps not, but either way) I may be busy after the first couple days of the game. My mother's getting out of the hospital next weekend and I'm to take care of her a bit so I'll be here but it might be a bit sporadic. Just a heads up.

*runs off to do Master Boro's bidding*

I just happen to have some busy weeknights this week. So I will need to vote early on Thursday this week.

I have two questions.

Are the days for this specific game going to be 12 hours or 24 hours? What was a junior werewolf game?

Although I can read the backwards, I can't really say I like it. That being siad, if you maintain it through day 1, I've already got someone to vote for on that silly day.
