So is this a party? I don't like parties. They make me nervous. Too many people, all acting like they like each other.

And I have a headache.

They tell me I should be left alone, but I don't really like being alone. But I'd really just rather you all went away.

I'm hungry. I think I could lunch any of you right now. I mean lynch.

Okay, so Boro is a Wolf because he talked about a student killing Batman in a picture, and had first post, and I just plain think he's going to be no help on this camping trip. Sure, he's good at cleaning and cooking, but we're in the middle of the Sahara Dessert with no bathroom in sight!

Durelin is a Wolf because of the lunch thing. We're all hungry, but if we don't get rid of this peskiness now, we'll be hearing it for the rest of this camping trip. Oh, and I call NOT sleeping in the same tent...or doing dishes for that matter....that's just a big no....

Oh, and Wilwa is a Wolf just on principle.

Actually, if there is any merit to that, he could be Two-Face trying to hint. That should definitely be taken with a hint of salt, though, and hinting is always doubtful.

Yay! Go wolves!

Or he could be a wolf hinting to Two-Face.

Or that could be a hint. Really, we can't read too much into this...and I do think we're blowing it quite out of porportion. My "hints" the last game were a) I meant to include a line in my song parody of "everyone's got a helpful cobbler" but forgot and b) I said "we're all evil". My hinting failed.

But I actually did have a point with all this: cobbler hinting is not neccessarily straight forward, and I don't think we should automatically assume Boro's evil. However, I'm also not saying he's cleared, either - just don't blow it out of porportion. Much. Some blowing out of porportion is fun, methinks.

Tick-Tock and Crocodiles make me think of Captain Hook and Peter Pan.
Batman makes me think of Captain planet.
The joker makes me think of Jack Nicholson.
Jack Nicholson makes me think of The Shining.
The Shining makes me think of Stephen King.
Stephen King makes me think of IT.
IT makes me think of Clowns.
Clowns make me laugh.

Summation: I hope no one is afraid of Clowns, I like Clowns. xD

Oh, but you won't need a bathroom in the Sahara, Glirdan. Just rub yourself down with sand. It's a wonderful exfoliant!

*shrugs* Oh you want a serious answer? Well, then: wolves and cobblers don't often jump straight in and start hinting away in the very first post of the game. So it probably wasn't a hint. But then again it might be. Or maybe not. Who knows?

Me too. Why, none of us would be having such a wonderful time right now if it wasn't for the Joker!

Does this mean you're going to revert to eating everyone who is lynched? I don't think I like that idea.

This whole post blows it out of proportion seems to me. Though you're advising us not to do so.

Interesting.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

And poor, poor old Granny Smith as well... and all her cousins & relatives.

Otherwise it has been just like I thought a madhouse would be.

Whatever her role, Dury's "I think I could lunch any of you right now" looks plain calculated.

Or Lottie saying "I don't think we should automatically assume Boro's evil" looks just soo out of place. I mean really.

And talking of cobbler hints, Nerwen's "Yay! Go wolves!" is on a class of its own. That she pleads insanity doesnt't do away the fact that she decided to voice that sentence in the first place.

Pitchwife · 03-04-2010, 10:03 AM

Well, blowing things out of proportion is, I think, a legitimate way to start a discussion on Day 1 - often the only way, with nothing but banter and in-character lunacy to go on. So please stop jumping on Lottie for her attempt to get the game going (she seems to consider that her special duty of late, and she does it quite well).
Glirdan, it's way too early to be unnerved yet. Unless I misunderstood something, the whole cobbler-hinting-to-wolves-or-vice-versa business was about Boro, not you, so what reason do you have to be unnerved (unless you happen to be packmates, of course)?
