Hey! Don't you underestimate reindeer abilities!

...Wait, you are one.

...whatever the above is supposed to mean.


Legate's post made me laugh about the first part and go "well, that's a valid question" in the second part. Modlote, if you happen to read this, I add my voice to the plea for elaboration.

Boro makes a semi-serious post, which I'm not sure how to interpret. I can't really tell how seriously it should be taken. But it's a good attempt to transition people from IC to the real stuff.

Not much beyond this. Except for the Reindeer talk translations. I was trying to piece it together for a while, what would it mean if Lommy/Nerwen/Boro had certain roles, but then gave up on it because it's semi-banter and while it could be a message it could just be banter and it's useless to go in this endless cycle. Message! Banter! Message! Banter!...


Hopefully this will get some talk started.

I'll be around every now and then between now and DL, cause the day turned out less busy than I thought. Goodie.

EDIT: xed with Morsul

Not, sure if I'll be back before DL... A lot of people not even gotten a chance to speak yet...

Innocent. (Does the Cobbler ever count as a Wolf? I don't think I've played that way before.)

And regarding Seer-dreams, since it hasn't been mentioned in the rules, I assume the Cobbler shows normally as Cobbler to the Seer, and not as innocent, like it was in some games...

That is correct.

To the Moddess, thanks for clarification, now to the rest...

Okay, I do not want to start sounding like Nog... and I won't, I will just say that had he been here, we'd have been likely all mass-lynched by now. I am not blameless myself and I do not take away anyone's right to post random IC banter and so on... I think in fact it was quite refreshing, let's have fun, but.

But as the Day goes on, and more people show, even though not all yet (due to timezones or whatever), but if you are around, and not sure you are coming back, then you might at least try to post something beyond the IC banter *looks at Mr.Grinch*

Not the least because timezone-wise, I will probably have to cast my vote in something like two, three hours (well, and the rest of us will have to cast it a couple of hours after that anyway). And I would not like it to go that randomly as it seems to me now.

Because what do we have of substance? Truthfully, nothing, unless all those, very many, sometimes even long IC posts contain some hints and secret meanings. Which I am pretty sure some do. After all, we have a Cobbler. However, the problem is we are not really trying to catch the Cobbler, but the Wolves.

So actually if I were to throw an utterly random guess, I'd look for people who might look like Cobblers and people who might try to "answer" to these people. Boro-Nerwen-Lommy exchange is what sort of stands out in this respect from the general banter, however there is nothing more about it than that it stands out (and then of course one can question how much of that is a joke or observation of warning against the Wolves - especially referring to Lommy's post now - and so on).

But well! Maybe people can actually start telling their opinions on some of these things (or others), so that we can move a bit before the DL? (I really hate sounding this starchy, but.)

[Boromir88]

Well, it really just comes down to a normal Day 1 conundrum.

1. No information to base much of anything on.
2. Wait to see if someone else does something in order to start
3. Leads to a bunch of staring, as the best information comes in the forms of the voting record (excluding gifted information/reveals)
4. Go back to 1. No votes = no information.

I suppose others comments on the Lommy-Nerwen-Me posts will be as good of a starting point as any other. Personally, I would put Copper in there too, who asked what I had to say about Nerwen's translation.

*cough cough*

Sorry I'm late, folks. It's this leg, you see. I can't get around fast enough on these crutches.

That means it's my responsibility to get abandoned in the inevitable wolf chase scene. I'm sure none of you would have an objection to leaving the pitiful cripple behind for the wolves?

(please have an objection to leaving the cripple behind for the wolves)

Why'd I get singled out? Given Boro's hinting style I had a legitimate idea he might have been hining... with reindeer calls I don't know, it was a thought ad I shared it.

So far
Boro seemingpretty tame
Thin tosed out some general feelings in what looks like a genuine attempt to get the ball rolling.
Legate This post seems like a good a jumping point as any
Galadriel had same thought as me regarding Boro which scaresme not furry scary just in general Galadriel might want get checked if she thinks like me... shudders

everyone else not enugh to say much about.

What did you mean here, Morsul?

[Eönwë]

Sorry everyone, I was out on the ice flats when- What is going on? Is that Suzy? [/IC]

Sorry, I've had limited time toDay, but now I'm here. Doesn't look like much has been said so far, but I think I'll give it a reread.
