Better add my explanations before I get in trouble.
Every 4th night, I have to work late (day runs 6:30AM-8PM). And every other of those 4th nights is an overnight shift (6:30AM-1PM the next day). Our beginning Monday night was my last one, so Friday will be next. Then I sometimes wind up at a relative's house with dial-up where I keep getting bumped offline (like now). That at least will be fixed in about an hour. I hope. Anyway, it all adds up to an early vote for me today, most likely.

Announcement:
There's a good chance I won't be able to post on DAY 3, due to extenuating circumstances--the state of my finances, mainly, but also temporal considerations.
I'll make it up on DAY 4, I promise!

Adding up to Nilp here, I might also not be able to post on the third Day. Not for financial reasons, though - a princess should never have that kind of problem - but Saturdays for me are just heavy with church stuff. (You know, similar to those things Eomer's trying hard to do. ) This Saturday in particular, they will take practically the entire day.
I hope you'll all understand. I'm quite sure some of you will. If not, I command you to. |

I'm sorry about that. We discovered at a UCAS day yesterday that there may be a possibility of me getting a scholarship so I've been writing an essay all day for it since the deadline is tomorrow

I have to say that I am really rather angry at having been labelled a cheat.
But if that is the way that people feel generally, I shall withdraw from the game now.

Thinking about it, it is probably not a good idea to have this discussion here and now.
I would suggest that, if you think that I should withdraw, then PM Shelob. I will stand by the decision of the majority.

I apologize for my hasty, angry reaction, SPM.
I don't think the inside information should be allowed, but that is not reason to take out my frustrations on you. I'm sorry. Perhaps it would be best if I drop out? |

Nobody should drop out. This has obviously caused some varied and strong opinions but they should be worked through and the game shouldn't suffer because of them. By the look of it lmp you're going to die anyway, but SPM you stay put!

And I'm going to get irked...man this is annoying...
Alrighty, here's my view on this whole thing. Yes, it wasn't entirely in the spirit of the game. Yes, it causes a somewhat uneven playing field. Then again the spirit of the game is to lie, decieve, and 'kill' each other, and given varying levels of experience and familiarity with the said lying, decieving, and 'killing' there's never really an "even" playing field. The gifted players do often try to leave hints to tell others that they are gifted, there's no rule anywhere saying that other players can't do the same thing. Mind you, innocents are usually more concerned with hunting wolves and it's not really in the wolves better interest to go around leaving hints to the effect of "Look at me, I'm a werewolf!". So far as I can see it is acceptable to leave whatever hints you can to your innocence or gifted-state, but it can detract from the game and certainly doesn't guarantee anyone's innocence. That Nilp, Lhuna, SPM and others left anagrams cannot now be changed. I saw Nilp and SPM exchanging Acrostics in a previous game and passed it off as them just being them. I put no stock in it because honestly I wasn't going to take a poem as evidence of innoence. Littlemanpoet is clearly irked at this, and clearly wants out of it. Fine, either give him the majority of the votes or (and I'd prefer this if only for the sake of the game) go about buisness as usual, if he really wants out I'll gladly kill him off, I said "no double lynchings" but that's in the case of a tie but I'll gladly begin a whole new discussion about who can break rules by breaking the rules of MY game. If people really do wish for me to take SPM out of the game too, fine, PM me I'll consider it...but really people, if you want me to take out Saucepan Man shouldn't I be taking out Nilp too...and wouldn't getting rid of 3 people (LMP, SPM, Nilp) all at once rather ruin the game...4 people if you want to count Mormegil's response to the whole thing... Really people, we're in game 18 here...do you seriously expect us to ignore the previous 17 games? And that's not even counting the WWJ games...pheh, "past lives", "I've seen this in other villages", and you get mad at an anagram...

I should probably clarify, "if he really wants out I'll gladly kill him off" translates to "if he really wants out LMP should PM me and I'll gladly kill him off"

Personally, I don't see any reason for anagrams not to be allowed, unless we also disallowed all "hints", which would be utterly absurd. |

What we need to know is this. Is Lmp going to drop out or no. Because if he is, would that not make all the votes for him void? This is so insane!!! I have no problems with the anagrams. And I ahve a thought in my head about why we shouldn't have them but it's stuck in my head. Anyway, let's get back to the game.

I'm going to throw in a few thoughts here on this. I think everyone playing should remember that this is Shelob's game. Those of us who have had the honor of modding a game know how special our own game is to ourself.
Please, please don't ruin it for Shelob that it holds resentment for her and not good memories.

NOTICE:
Littlemanpoet has dropped from the game. He and whoever gets the majority of votes will be killed at the end of the game. (EDIT: *cough* DAY...) ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR LITTLEMANPOET IS ALLOWED TO CHANGE THEIR VOTES I'm sure you all understand why. Now, for the rest of you. CONTINUE LIFE AS NORMAL. Please... It still stands, if you feel this whole thing constitutes cheating PM me. HOWEVER if you do you should keep in mind that if a majority finds this to be cheating EVERYONE who posted an anagram will be taken out (unless they've already 'died' in the game). Now I'm going to go eat lunch...after clearing my PMs, just in case.

Thank you, Shelob. I hope the game's enjoyable to you from here on out.
Sorry for having caused such a mess within the game. This issue will need to be resolved after XVIII. |

Trying to limit the amount of posting I do in the other thread...
Quote:
Umm...here's an interesting thing for me, what effects will telling you now have? Since he's going to die at the end of the DAY just as if he'd gotten a majority of votes I feel I ought to just tell you then, as if he'd gotten a majority of votes. Then again LMP is being taken out of the game and unquestionably in unusual circumstances, so arguably you people should be told now and allowed to work with that information for the rest of the DAY... ...hmm... Alright, it goes against my judgement, I feel you ought to wait for the end of the DAY, but then I feel bad for you people having things so confused (bad for you, worse for me, downright sorry for those either insulted or accused of cheating) so...yes, littlemanpoet was an innocent, ordinary villager.

Ok, I won't comment on all that above, I wasn't around and it does not matter anymore.... I guess no-one noticed but I pretty much disapeared today... It's not a clever wolfish plot, I overslept, then went volunteering for six hours and then went for a coffee with a fellow volunteer to talk a few things over. By the time I got home it was well past the deadline. Sorry guys, it seems to have been an intesnse day to say the least, I should have no further problems for the rest of the week 'till next Saturday, but I'll let you know if anything comes up

Since it seems that the suspicious Morm cannot take a sick man at his word unless he drags himself out of his sickbed, hobbles across the village, and painstakingly puts up a notice on the Town MessageBoard, let this serve as official notice:
"Formendacil is sick with the flu. He has been sick with the flu, to varying degrees, for nigh on a week now. He is beginning to recover, and as a result, it is probably pointless to be posting this now." Thank you, and good day.

Sorry, friends.... no excuses for my no-vote toDay and I see it's two in a row so if I shall be killed I'll accept my faith... I got confused with last WW's game and came back too late.

*cough*
The Mod/Author would like to apologise for the inconvenience, however, due to German club this afternoon being followed by delays caused by a teacher meeting which kept her mom rather later, and due to the fact that the mod didn't wish to strand her mother at school just so she could get a werewolf death done on time, The Mod/Author has just got home and the Death for toDAY will be delayed by approximately 15 minutes.
She wishes this was not so but German Club means free food and a better understanding of a foreign language (in today's case a better understanding of Reflexive Verbs in any language) and stranding her mother is more than her life's worth so, to conclude, she doesn't even know who died yet herself. Sorry again, but I hope the explanation makes sense...

Wonderful, cheers morm.
I'm breaking the 'dead players tell no tales' rule just for a moment to find out if there is a queue for modding beyond Nilp?

I actually thought we abandoned the mod list, cause otherwise I think I announced I wished to mod a game ages ago... But I'm not going to be able to until April / May, so be my guest anyway.

As much as it's promising to see a list of mods up, I would like to make a brief announcement regarding my game, so I'm sorry to interrupt all your planning and plotting, but if you'll forgive me.
NOTICE: Due to the end of the last DAY happening to land of the day with my German class, and due to me wishing to make the final death (whomever it's for) a good one, expect the final ending to be delayed by at least half an hour. I'll try to keep it as close to the actual deadline as I am able, but can't really promise anything. My thanks future mods, I only regret that school shall keep me from playing in your games. Speaking of school, I don't suppose anyone would be willing to do my Calculus for me? No, fair enough, if you need me I'll be being anti-derivatives...no, I'll being solving antiderivatives...meh, I'll be both

From the desk of the Lord High Scorekeeper
The Three have won 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, and 18 for a total of eleven wins.
The Ordos have won 4, 6, 8, 12, 15, and 17 for a total of six. The Black Beornings have won squat for a total of naught. A Tie occurred in 16 making one. Back to the ole’ drawing board...
