But you can't get the same results. When it's coming from you everyone knows you may be a bit insincere, and are simply trying to further your own ends.

But when Candor Man says it, well... it really means something.

Heh heh... The last thing I remember was receiving a PM from you which said... um... something rather interesting.

It's possible I saved it, just in case I needed to blackmail you for your vote in some future game. If you don't know what I'm talking about, ask Fea. I shared it with her.

Which you didn't respond to. Still upset about that, by the way.

Tsk, tsk. *shakes head and places red X next to Mira's name*. I was going to let you go with a warning, but I do not even want to point out everyhing wrong with what you have just stated. Plus, seeing how you should already be aware of my disdain for any post containing those wretched words, or anything that reminds me of that team, such as "T.O.," a certain player's jersey, or "America's Team" than I must tell you you are not starting out on the right foot with me. I don't know how many X's you will be allowed, but that was not good.

It's time for me to be Buzz Killington and say kill this conversation. I see enough skwerlz where I am at, they scare me...even worse than evil butterflies, and I do not want to see skwerlz here.

Please save all this material for a few days, if you do you will have a mod in a marginally good mood. You also may hold conversations with the disembodied voice of the mod, and that would make me super happy. But save it for then, don't want anyone to be burnt out.

I have my starbucks in hand now, and will crank it out for you to read and hopefully enjoy.

*is jealous of Starbucks* I should mention, before you write me into the narration, that my "useful" magical charms are more like "useful if they don't go wrong." Think Ron Weasley attempting magic at Hogwarts in his early years. That's how great of a spell-caster I am.

I've already written you in, hopefully it's to your liking. I think you'll enjoy it.

Edit: I should say I've written you more as a Luna Lovegood...is that ok?

I'm just going to chug along with the tryouts, because it made me super-happy writing Part I, and this will be the final piece of the story before the Night 1 narration tomorrow at 11pm.

Thanks to everyone for their kind comments. I'm glad you're enjoying this, it makes it worthwhile, and I know we're all antzy to get going, but it won't be much longer now.

I'm quite enjoying the narration. Do Wild-eye's super powers aid him in catching a speedy bird?

Sorry for taking so long, but it took me way too long to come up with a superpower.

I am Butterfingers (also known as The Klutz): I destroy everything I touch. It's quite awesome, really.

Thanks Brinn...I went ahead and made up one so I could keep going with the narrations, but I'll go ahead now and change what I wrote for you in the narration to fit your power.

So. I was really hoping people would be around at the start of the Day to talk with since I'll be at work all day tomorrow and might/probably won't be around for deadline. I'll try to catch up before I leave in the morning, but no promises on that one. Please don't lynch me for having to be a big girl and contribute to society!

So I'm all caught up (for now at least) but have to leave for work before I can actually post anything of substance (or otherwise). Hopefully I'll be back for deadline, but like I said last night, no promises.

You can always cast a ++No Vote

Ahh, but seeing as you did make me aware of this...if you do miss it shall not count against thee.

Simple as that folks.

Psh. I'm not even playing any more and all y'all are still gonna try to kill me on Day One? Well then.

My thanks for the concern expressed by several of you. Everything's okay, but by the time I realized I totally could have just kept playing, I already knew your roles.

You say this like you think I've never hit on chicks before. That's just charming.

Look, I'm serious now...I don't want to be a jerk, but right now I'm not in a good mood and I really don't want this to get loaded with posts of back-and-forth chatting. This is for questions and concerns about the game. I know I've been partially to blame, but enough is enough.
