Yay Game!

yay roles and yay game

Hostesses, does anyone have any info about the poll choices?

Cool game.

Yay game! This lookz like a fun one.

We cannot wait to vote until the last minute on this poll, people, since it ends once everyone has checked in. I am going to sit at the Table of Happiness. Peace without happiness is death. Love without happiness is torture. I hope you will join me so we have at least five!

Why 5?

I picked the Table of Love, because I'm a lover, not a fighter.

The rules are weird, though.

"Each table must have a minimum of at least 5 people sitting at it.
If there is less than 5 at a table then that table will receive a boon."

If each must have 5, how can one get a boon?

Also happiness without peace is insanity, and happiness without love is hollow. You can't really have any of them in isolation.

I am considering Peace, though. Peace transcends the individual, and maybe if enough of us select Peace, it will spread out to us all

And yeah the 5 thing is weird.

Wooooot game has started. Epic game is epic!

I expect our gracious host meant to say "bane" instead of "boon," but of course that iz just speculation.

Fe Fi Fo Fum
I spell the blood of a baddie...

Um...


Yeah, I got nothin'.

Dilan Bluemoss haz been reading the rolez. If Rumplestiltskin can choose *any* word, he would be massively overpowered, since he would be able to direct the majority of the votez eery day by choosing "I" or "The." Dilan Bluemoss hopez thiz iz not the case.

OK, there are worse things having to choose from than between Peace, Love, and Unde... Happiness. I will vote for Love as I like Love best, and do enjoy sitting at tables periodically. I trust we can get five at each table.

I choose love

Well I know and I suspect Bea knows, if you mean players then no.

I bet we know why.
The question is will everyone make sure that there is at least 5 per table so no one gets a boon of unknown advantage?Or will you allow some to get a boon of unknown advantage?

I doubt it. LOL. To "receive" a bane would be to receive death, no? bane and boon are quite different. I don't think our hosts would make such an error in speech.


Also: Yay sockpuppet game!!

I voted Peace. Why? Because peace rocks. More so than love and happiness.

Sorry guys, went to vote the Host/non/Mod option, accidentally voted a game option~ ignore silly SVS~

Silly SVS but you can change your vote in this poll

Yay game! Should be good times. As for the table, all you need is love, so I will sit there.

Yay game on!

Going with Peace.

Game wOOt! I am going with Table of Happiness!

I think I shall join you, my dear Fane. Table of Happiness for me.

I gotta admit, I kinda am too.

Peace

The illustrious Me has decided to vote for the Table of Peace, an ironic twist of fate considering the long and violent history of the Moonlit Krackens. Though, that happened under the watch of our old king, not sickly and incapable. As King Regent, I will steer my realm back towards peace, this being the first step.

I think happiness and maybe love would grow from Peace so if I counted right I'll be the fifth person at the Peace table.

This in indeed an unusual move for the Moonlit Krackens, once the terror of many a peaceful folks nights. Perhaps this is a sign of good things to come. I am happy to see such a diverse fellowship at the Table of Peace.

Lyel Lambboat seems to have added a 6th vote to Peace without posting.

I am going to perhaps make a seating chart.

The Purple Sea Elves have always had great respect for the finely wrought seating charts of the Twilight Pixies. Their workmanship is without equal.

So Far:

Happiness:
Dylan Bluemoss, Baron of the Purple Seas Elves
Grutfud Orangesprite, Spirit of the Teeming Rivers Seers
Fane Winebattle, Sahib if the Forbidden Dwarves
(any relation to Fern Winebottle, Tart of the Drunken Dwarves?)
Eurolyvn Blissfulone, Sister of the Flourishing Flower Fauns

Love:
Dierdre Wonderbird. Tzar of the Lost Star Trolls
Callic Lustroushair, Queen of the Stone Sun Ogres
Miyuki Lovelymouth, Witch of the Blosson Streams Imps
Jorhan Poisindart, Bishop of the Bloody Moors Dragons


Peace:
Shand Azureye, Margrave of the Dawn Faeries
Bac Wunderelin, Rajah of the Twilight Pixies
Mainchin Ironbeast, Duke of the Clockeork Mists Centaurs
Queran Gloomsoul, King Regent of the Moonlit Tropics Krackens
Bronwyn Mightyfeet, Vicerine of the Yellow Gypsies
Lyel Lambboat, Count of the white Mountain Giants

Keeping this list updated might be helpful, since it ends when everyone checks in, the hosts may take the poll down as soon as that happens, and although only 14 have voted, I see that a few have checked in and not yet voted, and the post says "checked in".

Thank You

Poorly wrought chart that misspells the name of so gracious an elf:

Dilan Bluemoss, Baron of the Purple Seas Elves

Wow, this is so exciting! I'm going to choose Love, which gives us 5. Hello, tablemates!

This vote-changing thing could be veeeeery interesting. I think we'll need to keep a close eye on changes. It's possible baddies could vacate a table so a teammate or 2 get a boon, though I don't see any incentive for civs to change tables since each has at least 4.

That love table is looking awfully intimidating. It is filled with trolls, ogres, dragons and gargoyles.

By the way, is it strange to anyone else that there are 25 players listed but only 18 roles? Any ideas what that could be about?

These woods are indeed filled with mysteries...

Yes, plus don't the tables only fit 15? Very odd this is so far.

And I had not counted the roles, that is interesting. I wonder if secret roles are spread across the affiliations? Seven secret roles is quite a few, that could be an entire bad team plus a few spare serial killers.

I was mistaken earlier. Each table has to have a minimum of 5 - I read it wrong.

Changed Tables. Now Happiness.

Good observation Gobnait! This struck me as odd too. So there are seven roles unaccounted for. I know I am probably reaching, but I also counted six players saying "Yay game" in their first post. It does seem like a lot of people used that phrase, and the number of players doing so is close enough to the seemingly secret roles (maybe the last of them hasn't checked in yet). Maybe this was one of the things the hosts had them do? Who knows? It's probably just coincidence, but I thought it was interesting enough to mention.
