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.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 09-21-2009, 06:59 PM

It's simply that I needed to vote for somebody in order to un-vote for somebody, and I forgot to see if self-votes are allowed, and I was too lazy to go look before posting, so I needed to vote for somebody that wasn't myself.

I knew that anybody I voted and unvoted for would be questioned, so I attempted to preempt the problem by saying point blank that I'd merely gone alphabetically.

Anyway... I'm an old lady, and it's time for me to snuggle under my blankets with Isak Dinesen.

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?

Loslote · 09-21-2009, 07:04 PM

I'm here...but I probably won't be super close to deadline, plus this is my first time, so I won't be a good captain.

Roa_Aoife · 09-21-2009, 07:08 PM

Loslote, you're visible. Go to your control panel, click on edit options, and then check invisible mode. Unless much has changed sinceI've been gone, it's a requirement for playing.

I was not convinced by the "nothing more complicated than that" statement and asked for further explanation by taking a quote from a lovely book, written by an author I'm sure we all love to read and changed a few words to fit what I was asking for.

The other purpose was to see if anyone wanted my vote for Captain/NG than they would have to answer the questions about the quote.

Speaking of which, only sally has attempted, which she failed that means so far everyone else has failed. I was trying to figure out how I was going to decide on a Captain/NG. I could have approached it a normal way, that is wait to see if there's anyone who jumped out that I trusted, and my other way would be to see how many hoops someone would jump through to appease the monkey (ie me).

Any takers? The offer I made in my last post does have a time limit.

What other motive could she possibly have?
