Sorry, Dee.

If it's any consolation, I had to edit my post as well, because I misspelled it the first time.

I love google, but when will these darn computers find a way to answer the question "how do you spell...." and then a pronounced word that you can't otherwise spell? I swear...

[Solfius]

I usually start with MS word's Spellcheck, and then failing that stick it google to see if it corrects it, try a few variations if it doesn't recognise it, and then if that doesn't work, I move on to dictionary.com and similar sites, like wikipedia.

For those who were talking to Sparkle I appologize. My son was rushed to the hospital so I have not been home most off the week.

Back to the game...

This has all been very interesting. I come back to a heart on my chest...um...cute.

I agree with Mikki. Can't wait until the end to see these roles because there are some great actors/actresses out there.

[mortaine]

Obviously, you were in shock, dear. We all understand-- what a horrid thing to have happen!

Also: Hope your son is ok now?

[Floyd]

This is a slow mover..

[Surly]

This is boring, is what it is. And it started so promisingly...

Seriously, this is the inevitable conclusion of the tactic of lynching active people for being active. These games should be restricted to about 2 weeks. And each day should be 3 or 4 days...

[Floyd]

it's true it's true... though i'm the only person who has actually been "lynched" i guess Seko doesent really count as a "Lynchee"

Yup. I've been sick of the game for about 15 years now. The roles were a great idea and gave a nice spark for roleplay, so congrats TSL. The problem was that we ended up with at least 20 pages of frivolity that had absolutely nothing to do with the f***ing game. I don't think people have been lynched just for being active though. It just followed the usual b.s. random fingerpointing pattern that is the hallmark of the WWG.

Could someone please step up and help look at some f***ing clues? Or let's at least move to three day days and let the random lynchings begin. It's not like we ever put any actual thought into the votes in the first place.

I don't think that's the problem. In enjoyed that, it was interesting. Maybe not too you, but to everybody participating it evidentlywas fun. The problem is that everybody abstains, I firmly believe that abstaining is be illegal because it is ruining the game, and now nobody even talks out RP let alone lynching.

Simple solution: ban abstaining, and put a cap on each day.

The game would move faster, even with RP, and it wouldn't reach the point when everybody is bored stiff with the game.

I hate random finger pointing! i'm with surly, ban Abstaining... it's a huge pain...

if you cant think of anyone to vote for, vote for the rich kid, thats my Motto!

[Sparkle]

Well, you also have to realize that alot is going on in the background. Most things are happening that can't be seen. I am very curious to see what will happen next and wichita, I am about to do another investigation. Although everytime I do I seem to be wrong. That's why I keep abstaining...

That's what leads to the random fingerpointing, Floyd. I really don't know if there is a good way to fix it, though. I wish there was some way to make it feel more like a murder mystery than a student council election is all.

[Surly]

With this post there have now been 42 posts in ooc discussion since this day started... more than have been in the game proper.

While all this PMing stuff is fine and dandy, it detracts from the game, because little happens and stuff that should happen in the main thread is absent. It is whispered instead.

Please try and remember this is a werewolf game, not just a place to RP becuase you are out of Cantr minutes. There are people that wish to play that cannot because of the slow pace of this game, and I am not far off just starting the next game while we wait for you guys to finish.

Please be reasonable. This is a game, but it isn't fun for most of us anymore. If you have stuff to say, say it outloud. Notes should be just that, notes. No more interaction. I thought it was fine, but I was wrong. Abstaining? Come on... it is a werewolf game, not a jury.

[Floyd]

I dont mind the finger pointing so long as its not at me... the thing is i have so many good ideas of who it might be from the clues, but i cant share them anymore... 'cos i'm dead... so it's your own fault if you all get eaten, you lynched your saviour!

[Sparkle]

I think TSL has the right idea with the roles that were given. Next time to make it more like a murder mystery there can be roles given that adds a little more to the mystery like giving people features or certain clothes and then adding them into the murder, but it can't be obvious. It should be clues that you have to search for by reading certain things that the MOD puts out everyday like the writings on the people's body. Now that was gold, but it leaves us no one to work with. Except, I think Dee had the right idea thinking those writtings came from a female.
