Crap!

Lommy, I am so, so sorry. I competely got my timezones mixed up and thought that the deadline was six hours off.

I feel horrible.

Thinlómien · 11-15-2007, 01:45 PM

Ok, Shasta and Sally, I understand your situations and you both will have mercy, but you'd better vote toMorrow because then I won't be lenient anymore.

Thinlómien · 11-15-2007, 02:40 PM

Narration's up... I can't understand how can it take me about 1,5 h to write something that sort and simple... don't ask...

Nogrod · 11-15-2007, 02:56 PM

One calls it quality...

(Okay, I have not read it yet...

)

Nogrod · 11-15-2007, 03:07 PM

I finally got to read it. I'd say definitively: quality.

That was hilarious!

And I even got the German lyrics!

(well, a few parts were a bit unclear to me but anyway...)

The Might · 11-15-2007, 03:11 PM

Good job with the post Lommy!
I guess a spoof of the Ärzte called "Balrogs sind Schweine" would be better

Aganzir · 11-15-2007, 03:15 PM

But surely a Balrog wouldn't think they have anything in common with swines.

Kath · 11-15-2007, 03:35 PM

I'm so sorry I didn't vote. Time just ran away from me this evening and it wasn't til I got back from gym all of 10 minutes ago that I remembered I needed to.

satansaloser2005 · 11-15-2007, 09:26 PM

Oh i loved it. Just got a chance to read it, and I laughed half of my face off. Need to go glue that back on now.

Oh and I'll definitely be able to vote tomorrow. It'll be early most likely, but I'll show my little face sometime before day's end.

Lhunardawen · 11-16-2007, 05:08 AM

*tiptoes around own shattered skull and scattered brain - whatever's left of it*

I'm sorry for committing suicide without so much as an early notice, but Lhuna the ordo was right: I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired. Or at least I really will be, to the point of actual suicide, if I didn't pull out.

Oh no, mum, not again... I do hope your father gets well soon. I'll keep both of you in my prayers.

Mithalwen · 11-16-2007, 07:12 AM

So far so good... basically my dad is eighty-one so stuff is going to happen but he had a funny turn on Tuesday and seemed fine then when I got back on Wed he seemed aphasic then a few minutes later he was ok but I was freaked. It might be just effects of medication combined with anno domini - or it could be TIAs. He is on the apropriate drugs but the procedure to clear the blood vessels surgically is deemed more likely to cause a stroke than leaving them be... so it is a case of being grateful for every uneventful day..

The Might · 11-16-2007, 07:25 AM

Sorry to hear that Mith, hope you dad's situation will improve.

Posting here t say that it is possible that I won't be able to post the following Day, since I'll be away from my computer and I'm not sure if I will have Internet access. Will however do my best to manage to post at least once.

Gil-Galad · 11-16-2007, 11:08 AM

posting to say that i probably won't be as attentive tomorrow, probably just skim an post my thoughts. i'm going out for my dads b-day dinner tomorrow and having some buddies come over for some Halo 3 action...

Nogrod · 11-16-2007, 02:50 PM

Here's my situation then.

I will leave very early tomorrow (RL), around 3-4AM GMT and need to vote before it.

I have been assured that the major hotels in Santiago de Cuba at least should have workable net-accesses with modest prices (no broadbands of course...).

But that means I might actually be able to come in and read the stuff + post myself once or twice a Day if alive.

I'll give you notice - if not otherwise then through Lommy - if things are not so easy as I now believe they are.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 11-16-2007, 02:55 PM

All right, Nog. Hope to see you around even in the further days. Enjoy your stay out there.

Strange, I have almost the feeling as if parting with a friend who leaves on a long journey...

Indeed, looks like that

Nerwen · 11-16-2007, 08:51 PM

I'm going to have to vote early. Just letting you know.

Thinlómien · 11-17-2007, 06:24 AM

Because Day3 started late (it was Downs' fault, not mine

) it will also end later. So Day3 ends 7.10 pm GMT. Thus, Night4 will be 10 minutes shorter than the standard Nights and Day4 will begin 7.00 pm.

Also, I'd like to add that I've co-written all narrations this far with Aganzir. She has been helping me more or less with every single narration and I guess (I hope

) this will continue in future as well.

Mithalwen · 11-17-2007, 06:26 AM

A splendid collaboration

Oh and since you have all been so kind to be concerned - my dad seems to be ok so it will I hope only be work and limited access that now affect my game

Hahaha, you should know how much I laughed at that aspect when I realised Cuba is so close to the States. (Geography...

)

Glad to hear that.

Brinniel · 11-17-2007, 09:42 AM

Okay, I have to run off to a film shoot, so I really don't have any time to read or post right now. It's going to take most of the day, but there will be a lunch break, so I should be able to return briefly before deadline. If you don't hear from me until then, that's why.

Thinlómien · 11-17-2007, 01:14 PM

Ouch.

Legate voted probably a few seconds before Mith so Sally dies. Now that must have been the closest lynch I've ever seen.

Thinlómien · 11-17-2007, 02:55 PM

Narration's up. My tired brain worked extra slowly this time (and extra sadistically, it seems...).

Thinlómien · 11-18-2007, 12:48 PM

My deepest apologies to everyone, but the Day might start late. Hope you can all bear with it.

Thinlómien · 11-18-2007, 01:22 PM

Again, sorry for the delay, I had some difficulties along the way.

Because the Day started 20 minutes late, it will also end 20 minutes later, so 7.20 pm GMT.

I will take the extra 20 minutes from the next Night and hope that we'll finally be for a change on schedule after it...

Gil-Galad · 11-18-2007, 02:35 PM

that was probably one of my better games in awhile now... i discovered two wolfes from my hunches now that is luck...

Didn't catch that post; just saw it now. Explains a lot hehe. I feel pretty snazzy myself, calling out at least two of them, regardless of who the third is. Especially since this is my first game. But I admit my accidental erasing of my post....not good. So I kind of deserved it. Either way, I feel I did pretty well.

Yes. That was gruesome! (Sally's death, I mean.)

Thinlómien · 11-19-2007, 01:38 AM

Shhhh... I'm the only corpse who is allowed to talk about in-game matters.

If this game is still going on late this week, is there anyone who would absolutely need a Thanskgiving pause?

Thinlómien · 11-19-2007, 12:55 PM

Since the 'downs were down for such a long time, I will give you some extra time. The day will end at 8.00pm GMT. That probably means that I might not be able to write a proper narration in time, so you'd better not finish the game toDay...

Thinlómien · 11-19-2007, 12:57 PM

Forgot to add, but that means that next Night will be only 23 hours.

Nerwen · 11-19-2007, 07:10 PM

I'm sorry I didn't show up to vote. The site was down during the only time I had.
