its my experience from the other forum, but isnt day one always pretty much a crapshoot? I mean sometimes we get lucky, and I love it when we do!

[Telle]

Day 1 always sucks because you really have nothing to go on.

[EagleFan]

laxjunkie? lacrosse I presume? I haven't watched much lately but I used to have season tickets to the Philadelphia Wings for 12 years. Great seast and great fun.

[Barkeep49]

No point in dillydallying while you all have your fun and games. While you are all good subjects, no doubt, of the King, the King simply does not feel that the Day 1 lynch can be trusted to other persons and will be making the decision himself as to who should be beheaded as a Reformist scum.

Indeed, many people dont come up with lacrosse at first, believe it or not the first thought that normally comes to mind is laxatives. Why anyone would be a junkie on that I have yet to figure out. I played a couple of years for my High School, and keep up with the college scene. The whole three pt line in the pros is a little weird.

[EagleFan]

Have you watched indoor much? The Wings are indoor and that game is intense as hell.

No time wasted in that reveal...

[Telle]

So much for having a Day 1 vote to analyze.

In fact we have an indoor team down here in phoenix, went to a game once, and it is definitly more intense than any outdoor game that i have seen. And quiet honestly it combines the two greatest sports; hockey and lacrosse. The goalies have sooo much padding, but i wouldnt want a 100+ mph shot coming my way either...

[EagleFan]

Why make that kind of reveal now? Now the wolves will just lay low to see what happens instead of makig anything that seems like a move.

Oh no. Please do vote. The Royal Person is very interested in your opinions so he may decide which way the rope should swing. We must expose the villainous scum and the King does know that record are important in that way, even if the record keeping is best left for others.

[st.cronin]

I like the reveal.

[Telle]

But now the wolves don't have to worry about hiding their votes or saving someone or anything like that because they know the actual votes won't count. So there's really not going to be anything there to analyze.

[laxjunkie62]

who said it had to be his true role, he could be trying to pull something over on us all, admittely quiet bold on the first day, but always an option.

Wouldn't this have been a better reveal in about 22 hours from now instead of now? That's like announcing that the police will have a speed trap at point A and then being surprised to not catch any speeders...

Who says they are out to catch speeders, sometimes they announce it just so that people do what they want ultimately, to slow down.

We did not wish to bother Cardinal Wolsey & Edward Stafford with shenanigans. Shenanigan as we have witnessed in some recent affairs.

[henry296]

I'm a good villager supporting the King.

Who really believes its about making people slow down and not about collecting the money from fines?

Well if you remember what happened the last time you tittered my way, lets just say it was quite a remerable expierence

not that i disaggree with you, but i would like to give them the benefit of the doubt

[Lathum]

checking in.

I guess I should say welcome back laxjunkie

[DaddyTorgo]

checking in - got my PM

[DaddyTorgo]

I can't post anymore tonight - I gotta finish studying for this exam I got tomorrow and then get some sleep - I should be able to post by tomorrow afternoon though (well before 9pm) -- what time depends on if I go into the office or go home after the exam

yeah its been so long since i was last on...haha, ill take whatever compliments i can get.

[oliegirl]

I'm around most of the day today - working a ton of hours

I had forgotten when I told Alan I'd play, but I am going to be out of town this weekend, leaving Saturday am and will be back late Tuesday afternoon. I'll be able to check in over the weekend and Monday, but Tuesday morning - early afternoon I will be driving back from the beach and out of touch completely. I should be able to catch up before deadline, but will likely cast a vote (or PM my vote to Alan if need be) for Tuesday just to be on the safe side.

With 10 people in this game, the game will be over Friday at the very latest. There won't be any weekend play at all.

Sweet...that much more time I can spend laying on the beach soaking up the sun!

That is cold. What makes you think I had anything to do with you dying in the Spawn game????

VOTE PATH12

Retaliation vote

[Lathum]

vote LAXJUNKIE62

[DaddyTorgo]

okay, well i'm in from my exam (and i passed, thanks for asking). So I've now got my Series 7 and 63.

Doesn't look like much has gone on as of yet, so I will withhold my vote for at least a little while.

We wish you the most hearty congratulations.

[DaddyTorgo]

lol - and my boss isn't even happy that i passed, because i had to blow off some feedback-forum to take the test.

"why don't we communicate better? what's the hangup?" blah blah

[EagleFan]

Grats on passing DT!!!

[Telle]

Congratulations DT.

[Telle]

I'm going to toss a second vote out there rather than expanding the field of choices more.

VOTE OLIEGIRL

[DaddyTorgo]

thanks all. now i can really consider other job opportunities that would pay better, if i so desire.


when in doubt, it's always a safe way to start to:


VOTE LATHUM



*this vote subject to change, and is simply a D1 random vote

[DaddyTorgo]

so wait, are we sure that we have 3 evil roles, and conversely that we have all 3 of duke/bodyguard/seer?

If we do indeed have 3 evil, I have to say that even though the # is high, I like our odds.

I don't want to consolidate too early and create a runaway, but i'm happy with path/lathum as a showdown tonight, and oliegirl is also a decent choice i suppose.

[Lathum]

unvote lax
Vote oliegirl

[Barkeep49]

We seem to be heading in a direction where those known for evil are made to account. This is perhaps wise but also potentially depriving us of use of their minds. We are not sure that this is the best course for the preservation of religion in this island.

[DaddyTorgo]

Interesting reveal by BK. I also find the timing strange, as it does to some extent seem to take some of the usefullness out of D1. If proven correct by actions though, it is useful, no doubt, because it eliminates BK from needing to be worried about by the other villager roles, freeing them up to focus on a smaller pool.

not sure if i "like" it or not, timing-wise, but maybe he wanted to make sure that everybody saw it in this quickish turnaround first day

You are not in favor of explaining ourselves? Merely acting? We do not think this helps the cause.

As someone who has revealed at the drop of a cummerbund, you should understand why we did what we did better than most.

[DaddyTorgo]

The drop of a cummerbund? Not quite my style.

I understand why you did what you did I think.

I'm enjoying your use of the royal-we BTW.
