Be Excellent To Each Other

Although the nerd in me wants to point out that Legolas would *nock* an arrow, not notch it. These things are important!

A lot of the vote being spread around here. Can we all pick someone and go with them?

Sure.

[vote:Mr Russ]

Let's do that right [Vote: Mr Russell]

Only a Nazgul, full of corruption and chaos, driven insane by their endless, insatiable lust for the ring would ever object to something so obviously TECHNICALLY CORRECT.

Talking to yourself, Squirt? Not a surprise, with all that time you spent along waiting to get your "precious" back!

As a simple Gondorian, I'll not be voting this day.

Mr Russell is eager to get this day over with, I note.

Why not?

No, just to get people active. People seem to talk more when there's someone closer to a vote. Here's the thing, I'm happy to get anyone lynched on day 1 because of the potential chance for hitting a baddy.

I'm actually quite excited about Legolas wading in and shooting someone because it will liven up one of the days, but I don't reckon that'll be today.

And yes davPaz, get your damn vote on.

If I am commanded, I shall

I absolutely command you to vote in each day phase until instructed otherwise.

As you wish, my lord.

[vote: Mr Russell]

Heh, fair enough, totally asked for that.

Also, just noticed that the Ringwraith Terror can block 2 people each night if they choose to use that action, rather than just one.

[vote:davpaz]

Gondorians will surely want to vote, it is their given right, fought for over centuries.
For the blokes anyway, women can't be trusted with the vote.

Yes he is [Vote: Mr Russell]

I shall [vote: malc] as he's dangerous, even when he has a goodie power role.

Especially when he has a goodie power role.

And when he has a kilt.

So, we're at that no one knows anything about anything phase.

I know who I am.

I'm awesome.

The main thing we learnt at Cottage Scum is that I'm always right about everything. Just saying. I'm basically Gaffer.

Not sure who to vote for yet but I agree that given the night time terrors we're probably better off lunching than not.

I could lunch.

And after we've eaten, let's discussing this lynching lark.

*Cue 10 hours of singing*

Always.

See?! Always right.

Although irrelevant.

So playing blind, I'll check back in the morning and vote for whoever is in the lead. It's currently Russ and Grim..., We'll see if anything changes overnight.

Well, in that case:

The game has only been running for around twelve hours.

Desperate much?

Also, data from ("previous tomes of lore" - Ed) suggests that the amount you talk has zero bearing on whether or not you're good or evil.

Also, you know, you voted for the talkiest person.

But that was coin spinning science!

Ok, if you insist.

[Vite: THE TALKY PEOPLE]

Wrong again!

Mr Russell is talking too much for it not to be suspicious

[vote:Mr Russell]

Also I'd dearly like to know what Russ would like people to be talking about on day one. It's not exactly a strategic planning session.

I am not a power role, so you don't have to worry about me, and I'm not wearing a kilt. I do have a beard if that helps.

I am unsure of what's what at the moment, I think I need to sleep on it, and go over the day's events in my head to come to a conclusion.

Well I have nothing to go on really, so just for the sake of hopefully getting a bad guy. [vote:Mr Russell]

A lynch is better than not.

[Vote: Mr Russell]

Ugh. Obviously we want people to talk on day 1, in this game more than any other, because there's a recruitment faction at play. So how can we tell if someone has been recruited?

Well, possibly if their tone of voice changes. Maybe they talk lots and then go quiet. Who knows??

But if someone rocks up on day 3 and has only made 1 post on day 1 and 1 post on day 2 then you don't have much of a chance.

Oh, and because it's looking likely that when people log on at work today and think "oh, might as well throw my vote in here" I have a request for the rest of the game.

Please vote off the quietest people if you're not sure who to go for. This has the double advantage of getting rid of the boring players, and forcing bad guys to talk more, which hopefully gives you a shit-ton more to go on.

While I agree with the principle behind that, given that we always say the same thing it gives an easy way for bad guys to not get voted out - be mouthy.
