Me too, Yo Yo. And "Chap" and "Jolly" isn't specifically non-period. I mean, it's better than some of the conversation we've had thus far.

Lol, I forgot bloke. I would have used a lot of stereotypical english terms. Just as I'd expect some of you to say some stereo-typical things if this were set in America.

Well, the King's English was used in America too for a while. Maybe not in the 1880's though.

Hmm... I think maybe you all have a slightly skewed view of how people would have talked then... you should remember that it is likely only two of the people would have had even remote links to the aristocracy, and the rest would be fairly common. And common people would most likely have not spoken King's (or at the time Queen's) English. :roll:

Right, I understand that, Surly. Hence why I made the caveat about it being the 1880's.

Well... I shall ask again... I am assuming that we are not supposed to use OOC reasoning in this game even though it has been allowed in the werewolf games?

Probably not, although there's not much chance of people not using it somewhat...

Well, but we should come up with some other explanation in game?

You could try... I can't really help you out because I don't know what kind of ooc info you're using...

The whole voting thing is getting really confusing with people votring more than once. Please if you vote again unbold your last vote so as to keep things from gettign confusing.

Time is ticking....I am going to bed now, but as soon as I wake up, one of you will be dead! So finalize your votes now, you've all had ample time to change your minds.

@Dragonslayer:

Was that actually planned beforehand or was that just spur of the moment... or am I not allowed to ask that question? :?


EDIT: Meant to say 'ask,' and I changed it.
