Yeah, I do always banter, I'm not going to argue that. But Nerwen didn't really banter much herself. Her play was more rolling her eyes at the banter, or at least, that's what I got from it.

Rereading it I see what you mean... Though you have to admit at a glance it does seem reminiscent of your many song parodies(I spelled reminiscent correctly proud of self.)

I don't see the connection, really. But glad to see I wasn't completely off.

autume98 has just left Hobbiton.
Yay! I'm here! I'm hoping that the internet here continues to work. It's been kinda spotty.

Looks like an exciting Day 1. Wish I could've been here to see it, however being here has been a LOT of fun, and I wouldn't trade it.

Anyways, on to the game...BTW I remember someone posting "I lost the game." So thanks, now I did too.

I've been spending the last several hours playing catch up to see what I missed, and what's happening. I haven't really drawn any conclusions at this point. I do have a question though. I noticed Boro is under suspicion for bandwagoning Lottie yesterday. Is this the only evidence we have on Boro is there something else? I feel like such a newbie at times, I guess technically I am since this is only my fourth game. I just wish I had a better handle on this like some of ya'll.

1. I just did, too.

2. That's basically it, but we don't really have much besides voting records at the moment. Voting record, or lack of it, is most of my suspicion on Morsul, too (although his later posting has been somewhat troubling, as well). Based on Boro's later posting, I can't say - but his voting is troubling. It's not enough to assume that he's a wolf - but it's enough to guess.

Glirdy is always evil. Even when he's not.

I wish I had butterfly wings right now to fly around in here... but I'll settle for grabbing the walls with my sticky frog finger tips... maybe that makes me a Gollum...

EDIT: crossed with the nickname discussion. Hi there!
More banter, with a reference to Glirdan.

I think I shall wait for more of the fallers to wake up before selecting suspects. So far, I've nothing to go on, but am greatly enjoying the nicknaming.
Says needs to see more of everyone to form opinions.

Explains voting protocol to I think, BG.

However, all of our cotravelers who aren't at the party yet are definitely wolves.
Hmm. This might seem a bit off, but it could also be just part of her style.

More explaining rules.

Likes that she doesn't know us all.

No one dies on the first night except the mod to give everyone a chance to play.
More rules explanations.

Goes catching up on the last page...
My only problem with that statement is that she contributed precious little substance herself.

Arbitrary kill off, Shasta??
So no one looks suspicious. Says the discussions of the rules bother her, but again, she did quite a bit of that herself.

I won't vote for anyone who hasn't been here. Of those who have, the only one I can't get anything on at all is Elfie. And so...

++Elfie
Says that the Gifteds, singling out the Seer, should hold onto extra powers and not use them immediately. I agree that two dreams in one Night possibly would be useful to the Seer later rather than sooner, but I still worry that the Seer might leave it too late, and have the bad luck to be Night-killed, with us getting nothing.
More concerning is the vote for TEW. Voting someone just because you don't have any sort of read on them? That seems awfully arbitrary, and a very safe vote for someone of the furry persuasion.

x/d with tum and Lottie
