Why bother? If the rep was important enough for me to pay attention to, it would have been signed. Since it wasn't, I can only surmise that it was a tongue-in-cheek comment approving my fictional skills, and that the truly careless repper accidentally hit negative instead of positive. And if I can't trust an apparently high-ranking member of the 'Downs to know which button to push, how can I trust his or her critical judgment? Yes, I thought so...

Not worth the effort.

Actually, it's a shame that the character roles disappeared so quickly, were almost non-existent. I could have had such fun with the milkmaid identity - see the beginning of the notorious 'Revenge of the Entish Bow' for previous milkmaid writing...

Actually, I purposefully did not chose a role this game, so that I could play the role of Diamond exclusively.

Please, try to have some patience. I can only give out so many reps in one day. I'll try to get around to you tomorrow. Thursday is my day for neg-repping all the admins.

Perhaps on a random game, it is simply a random response and there's nothing you can do to encourage receiving one?

And so the game, like all true comedies, will end with a marriage. But how random is that?

Sorry for butting in. Another one of those random, spontaneous outbursts.

*gasp*

I do believe I've solved the case!

Our villain has made one of the most common criminal mistakes...

Returning to the scene of the crime!

I can't believe it took me this long to see it. It's Beth! She's the neg-rep culprit!

Lynch her quick, before she reps again!

You should join one of the rpg-style games Estelyn! We had one this fall and it was actually really nice! At least I loved it...


And just a comment on this neg-rep -issue (sorry to be the bore again): I just don't see how it might ever be defendable to neg-rep anonymiously. I just can't see the justification. If someone has a grudge over someone, let her/him stand for her/his words and come out into the open.

Looking at the players list I'm though inclined to think it's a joke I just can't see the point of.

I'm spending tomorrow in class and in a car, but before I can go home, I need to finish my homework and pack. Therefore I started Day early.

Feel free to post. This is purely for my convenience. Starting Day two hours early will not affect the end time.

Just to let everyone know starting about 11 hours from now I will be completely gone for several hours, but I will be (should be, anyway) back for the latter part of the day.

I sincerely hope you guys don't need me for anything today... classes blocked from nine to one, followed by a few hours in the car. Don't know when, exactly, I'll be near a computer again. Certainly tonight, but timing-wise? Yeah... no clue.

Two votes for lynching someone not even in the game? That's got to be some kind of record for WW, but of course thoroughly in keeping with randomised game.

I'm quite surprised, though, to see phantom join the ranks of those who try to draw Bb into WW. I wouldn't have expected him to bother. And I see Spm keeps referring to my intrusion on the game thread. So I'm toying with ideas on how to reply.

Should I begin a WW analysis like I see you all doing on the game thread?

Let's see; shall I try Esty's balliwick of compliment and praise? "Oh, Phantom, I'm thrilled! It is a great pleasure to bask in the glow of your august regard." Naw, I see where that kind of thing has got Esty toDay (see, I've even learnt WW spelling now)--posting madly to prove her innocence and thereby increasing her visibility. Or should I delete this and maintain a low profile, like Kath? Or do I go for loud bluster like Ang--he who first fingered the wolf yesterDay (I think)? 'Oh what ho and tally ho and bob's your parrot?" Oops, no, alas and alack I fall into Python mode. Like Di, shall I too point out my complete innocence--after all, I've never played a game and so I am-insert applicable latin tag here to impress the loyer and Ang--an innocent. But I inadvertently posted on the game and drew all this attention to myself. *gasp* does that make me a wolf? Should I channel all my energies into a Roa-like analysis of my three fleeting posts? What? and risk discovering what a bore it is to reread some of my stuff?

Honestly, don't you guys have any RL things to do? I'm even beginning to imagine a SpM speaking before the Judge in WW mode--and worse yet, to imagine that staid British judge, complete with his silly wig, answering him, as a wolf.

Must grab ahold of myself before this goes any farther....

This leapt out at me from the narration of our gravedigger’s death. Not sure if it means anything, but if there are clues to be found they may be here. Any red-haired men present?
Why the sound of rolling dice? Wasn't the Evil Moddess going to roll dice if the wolves picked different people or if the villages produced a tie? And with just one wolf, there shouldn't be any dice? And why does Spm raise this point but not answer it?

I think I'm missing sumthin.

Ok, apology time, and I'll reiterate it in the other thread later. I didn't post yesterday due to an extremely long and complicated train journey that should have taken 3 hours at most and took close on 6. I hopped on here quickly intending to post, but was then distracted by Children in Need. Meant to come back around halfway through when they start repeating everything but just completely forgot.

I know, I'm being completely useless this game. If I don't turn up tomorrow lynch me, it'll serve me right and might teach me a lesson for future games.

So I've been invited out for some quality Bonding time with my big brothers tonight. We're seeing Casino Royale, I do believe.

Since I'm not turning down the opportunity, rest assured that there is every chance I won't be around at 10:00. I'll post ASAP after the 10PM deadline, but I don't know when it will be. Apologies in advance...

Since our mod is gone, let's get into trouble on the game thread by continuing to yap after hours. I mean, if we behave all by ourselves, then that would mean we didn't need a mod, which would make Fea feel pretty useless.

Oh, yes, that's a classic joke. It's especially good when the person is in the tub.

And Nog, Di- you were repped? But you're living! I thought only the dead were getting those things. Is no one safe?

Cookie please.

And also- is it just me, or has anyone else noticed a bit of a Shakespeare thing going on in the narrative? At least I think it's Shakespeare that I'm reminded of. Could be Twain though. It's hard to tell those two apart.

Mind you ... worse than people ringing the door bell and running away is people ringing it and wanting you to change your utilities supplier or join a cult or demanding sweets with menaces (trick or treating .... why must British children adopt such Americanisms when there is the far more wholesome home grown activity of getting money on return for making an effigy to be burnt ... I don't know what is the world coming too... ) and so forth

Hate to think what they didn't teach youin school. There has been a lot of Shakespeare but I think we may have gone earlier for Ang - seemed more Chaucerian to me.

The phantom's cookie has been revoked, just as he knew would happen if he compared Shakespeare to Twain in my line of sight.

And Ang, literary scholar as his role declared, was graced with some Chaucer, a bit of the story of Tristram and Isolde... there's a bit of Beowulf in there... and I'll be hanged if I can remember what else snuck its way in last night.

It was beautiful, m'lady. The only problem is I'm unsure who I'm supporting now...I hope, anyway, that there is a chance of redemptive grace for your Ladyship should the village prove triumphant.

In the meantime, I love you.

Ok, I have a grand total of an hour to post today because I'm off to see Muse which involves much travelling, meeting people, more travelling, getting lost and so on. My vote will come extremely early so my apologies.

My turn has come.

My melodramatic rant against blind justice earned me a neg rep.

Not sure how many points, but I assume that it's the same person.

My second post today got one. It said "full of sound and fury". Very accurate description of my post, I must say.
