This is my first forum game, and I don't want to mess it up.

I know who I am, but I don't believe I'm supposed to give it away, right? And now we decide who dies?

(Of course it is possible that I'm merely playing dumb.)
is though an innocent merchanteth caught up in this foulest way. To deceive and not give away whom one is is the most important aspect of ones being. but thou can trustest me with such vitality bits of information...evil is amongst us looking for peoples who are special, they home in and target such people of such vital importance they are. be wary of the words you whisper doth i sayest.


(dont you love making up words here? kind of fun...a dash of though, a sprinkling of thees, a hark here and there and toss in "eth" for good measure)

in plain english...dude holman...if you are a special...shut up and blend in...if you are innocent...pretend to be a special or dont pretend to be a special and look for the evil doers. First thing that evil does is try to find our specials...fyi. not saying you are or arent...just saying.

Better to PM Grund with questions than drop possible hints to the bad guys. Of course if this was a sneaky ploy then kudos to you.

What I gave away, I gave away by design. Unless I gave nothing away; this too was by design.

Only this, and nothing more."

Or maybe Chaosraven did check in before the kill...just not in this forum.

I think it might be CR, but it is day 1, so I am blind ass guessing.

You always guess CR or RW. :)

But in this case, I might be willing to also go that way....

Not sure stessier was serious. I mean it was the first day and Chaos had not been seen yet.

Because of the timing. It was still very early in the (game)day when you followed bb with a vote on Chaos. You were the only two votes on record, so it appears that nine players (eight, excluding Chaos) had "reservations" about voting for Chaos at that particular point in the game.

What struck me as odd was not your vote on Chaos, but your voting for bb based on a reason that also applies to yourself.

So you are trying to paint your actions as acceptable because everyone else was doing it. Don't stand out, blend in with the crowd. Got it.

I went in the first day with the intentions of voting Chaos because he had not been seen, but BB already cast a vote there so I just posted a Shakespeare quote instead.

Been a while since Lagom has played, hell been a while for all of us, I was trying to remember if he had any good reads on certain people and that is what got him killed.
