Telling y'all now, don't vote me for captain, at least not for a while. I'll be far too busy for a few days and I really don't understand the rules. I'll have to go review things but for now it's dinner time and I'm bloody starving. Back after some tidying and foodstuffs.

Hello.

You may make me anything you like, but I make no promises I'll be any good at it. Deadlines shouldn't be a problem for me.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-21-2009, 06:15 PM

Personally I think Valier and I are the most obvious choices for captain, but do we want to the responsibility?

We might never know. . .

Anyways I expect this will be an even more random day 1 than normally, as there is sure to be alot of confusion surrounding the rules.

OK! I admit it, this purpose of this post is mostly to tell that I will be arround for a short while.

Out of curiosity, why are the two of you the obvious choices?

We are good looking and eat lots of carrots!

Actually, it is because we are fantastic. . . Maybe not as wolf killers, but as persons and personal relations is often what people base their trust on.

Erm....okay?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 09-21-2009, 06:24 PM

Zil- perhaps they're eeeeeevil?

Hm. Perhaps I shouldn't post when I'm sleepy.

In any case,

++Boro

--Boro

++Boro

--Boro

Because I loathe having floating retractions around. I like my votes to mean something when I cast them.

(Boro was chosen as the first alphabetically. Nothing more complicated than that.)

And maybe I should not post while tipsy, but I did (and you did) so we just have to live with it.

Anyways I realy dislike retractable votes as well, it confuses me and at times enrages me.

*pops back in*

Pst... Rune... I can see you...

I'd like a better reason than "good people skills" for voting you captain. Why do you want to be captain?

And what exactly are you trying to say about the rest of us?

I have fantastic people skills, as everyone knows. (riiiiiiiiight....)

Oh, it occurs to me to answer my own question: I have no logistical issue with being captain. I make no promises on being a good one. Or socially adept one.

Roa_Aoife · 09-21-2009, 06:38 PM

Also: I find it suspicious that you seem so eager.

Thanks. . . I will probably forget to become visible again after the game, it is kind of an unintentional tradition.

I want to be captain because I have the most faith in my self, although it could be interesting with Fea as captain.

Ok I will go to bed now, I will see you guys tomorrow.

Rune typically likes to be put into a position of power and extreme importance, if my memory is accurate. It's good to see Rune, and his normal persona back, and because of that he has quickly shot up my list of Captain candidates.

Sorry, but that last sentence I find it hardly convincing.

"Nothing more complicated than that?" said the noble, wisened figure. "Well, my lady Fea, it is your task to explain yourself still against your words, which few now look to see."

To the person who can identify the Chapter this references, you are up for being my Captain's vote. I'll give a hint: I think you'll find this book very...fitting. (Granted I tweaked the quote to fit the situation, and it probably makes no sense, but whatever)

To the person who can identify the noble, wisened figure I'm quoting, you will be considered a NG vote.

To the person who can identify who the noble, wisened figure is talking to, you will be also consided a NG vote.

Now have at it! (One answer per person please).

Edit: crossed with Roa twice, and bolding important key words.

I'm confused. What exactly are you trying to say?

Also, what is unconvincing about what Fea has to say? What aren't you convinced about?
