Yes, your greatuncle, Sigobert Flowingrass wiped out an entire Sunrise Pixie village that way. Since then we no longer build on the ground

Yet you stick out your tongue!?

Going to the wood. I feel comfortable in the woods.

My vote will go to Eurolyvn. I find nothing wrong with Euro Livin' in most cases, but she has, in my opinion, contributed little to discussion, and she admitted to following Fane's vote to join the Table of Happiness. It's a small ping, admittedly, but it'll do for Day 1.

I also want to caution other voters against spreading the vote too much. There are only 4 mafia as far as we know, but this level of spread is still well within manipulation range for 4.

I did not choose to sit at the Happiness table because of Fane, I only joined him in the sense he had opted to sit at the table I was leaning towards already. Everyone playing in character made me feel like I should have said more than "Voted Happiness." or one such other common statement of intention, lol. In other words, don't make too much of that statement.

As to this current choice before us, We fauns feel most comfortable within the woods so I am most likely to choose that option, but I want to ask a question first.

Dear hostesses, does anyone have info on these current options?

I do hope it gets easier. All these places seem rather shady to be honest lol. But.... I think I will choose the castle. I feel the safest there than for wild beasts to chase me through woods or into Grandma-ma's cottage to be trapped with no way out.

I mourn for the loss of the beloved Sleeping Beauty.

Sorry to see you go, Caillic! The Lost Underworld Gargoyles will welcome your spirit to our abode. (And try to get directions on your way down; we really need to get out of here!)

Thanks for your response to my vote, Euro Livin'. That does make me feel better about you.

Being a Gargoyle, I would feel most at home in a castle. However, this Lady's practical side wonders if this poll functions in the same manner as Day 0's. Perhaps a table with fewer place settings receives a boon, or perhaps we will be forced to vote for members of other tables. Time will tell whether the practical or sentimental side of my stone heart wins out.

Oh, and a hearty welcome to Renfrew! If your posts to this point are any indication, you're an excellent chap to have at a party!

I'm going to my grandma's house, that's where I shall feel the safest tonight.

As a Vicerine, I have been invited to several castles and would feel more safe than in the woods or at Grandma's House.

I am pondering whether to journey into the woods or to the castle. Grandma's house and the woods both sound sinister. Bad things always happen in the woods or at grandma's house.

I think I'll journey to the castle. (There may be good wine. We satyrs do love wine).

The Vicerine has found the wine and is happy to share with the Archduke.

I thank you for acquiring the wine and for sharing it, Vicerine. Cheers!

Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go! I'm expecting hot chocolate and marshmallows.

With the initial few votes scattered across more than half a dozen people, all the Big Bad Baddies had to do was to pick a target and pour in just enough votes to seal the deal. I wish, as I have often wished in the past, the mafia gods could decree that all games commence at day 2.

Actually, as the gypsies well know, it is the mafia who wants the vote as spread out as possible so that it only takes a few votes to lynch a civv.

Quite right, dear Bronwyn, my point exactly.

I was not saying those who extinguished Lustoushair were devilish. In fact, I am a but a goodhearted gypsy without bts. Perhaps my friend the princess can check my background to assure that what I say is true.

Or perhaps goodhearted is a problematic word in which case I would say: I am not capable now or in the future as i know it today, nor am I a member of a bts group who is capable now or in the future of extinguishing life. I would be most grateful if the princess would check my background.

Sorry for not being around. I've been dealing with some righteous headaches for days now and it's addled my brain.

RIP Caillic.

Picking woods because I like woods best.

Trying to catch up, sorry I've been fairly absent so far this game. RIP Caillac Welcome Rhinfrew!

RIP Callic! And welcome Rhinfrew! I hope you don't end up drinking all of the wine. Or at least save some for me. :P

I think I'll stick with the castle. Definitely better defenses there than anywhere else methinks. And I wouldn't mind taking a crack at any potential wine cellars. As long as I don't have to fight off any giant rats for it.

Ok, given the response to my question, for which I offer my thanks to our hostesses, I think I will stay with voting woods. Bad things can happen in castles or woods or grandma's house. But I feel most at home in the woods and thus I will opt to go there.

Rip Callic

I want a castle votes

sorry i missed the vote.

Grandmother's are often evil in such lands. Her house may be constructed of confection though. Woods are full of wolves and suchlike but as a Centaur most proud they do not trouble me overmuch. I will go to the castle. Off I trot!


Votes castle

Sorry if you were not a winner this time please be sure to join the fun Night 2.

And there goes the last hour of my life as i try to find the best pics for the contest...

So reading back and catching up, I noted a few little things, nothing big but enough to make a note of them for later.

First off, the only real topic of discussion on Day 1 was Rumpy and potential ways around his power. While I applaud discussion, and I think the back n forth was good, it inevitably led to one of the thing i hate about Day 1s which is that someone got lynched for something they said about a side topic which everyone seemed to admit could have been said by a civ.

With no real case or suspicion, it feels to me like the idea of finding someone in the Rumpy discussion to lynch would be a good move for the mafia, but more than that, a smart mafia would promote the idea in theory, let it take root, and then back away from it to avoid being attached to the lynch.

So I'll say that I've got my eye on Laine Crystalsteam. This progression of posts is ping-y to me. It's all promoting voting for people who had certain kinds of posts about Rumpy and then BAM, I'll just vote for this guy who said he'd vote for the lowest poster but then didn't quite vote for the lowEST poster. It smells.

Laine Crystalsteam wrote:I think I may vote for Gaerwen Gleamingrace, as I found it weird that he/she was against using foreign languages to circumvent Rumpelstiltskin's ability. I know it's not much of a reason, but it is Day 1 and that's all I have to go on.

Yes, I suppose you're right. It would be difficult. I just don't really have a reason for voting anyone.

I'm also minorly pinged by Mainchin,

This:

Mainchin Ironbeast wrote:I pray to the gods that there is at least one mafia on each table. Otherwise some of our number might be voting a table entirely made up of good denizens. Is it possible our gracious host has made it known to the evil ones that they must seat at least one of their horde at each table?

sounds like something a mafioso would say after finding that exact fact out from the hosts.

Also, this:

followed by a non-random vote is a bit odd. If you are going to random, why read through their posts? This is all minor, but my gut is telling me Mainchin may not be a good guy. He's on the watchlist, let's put it that way.

I have to agree with your ping, Dierdre. Mainchin's theory of having one mafia at each table seems a bit specific. I am going to go back and read the rest of his posts so I can make my own conclusion of him.

After Dilan responded to my post, I thought about it and realised that Gaerwen and Dilan were right and that communicating in another language would not work, thereby negating my reason for the vote. I then looked and noticed the contradiction in Bac's vote and voted for him. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Dierdre, I was also pinged by both of the posts you mentioned, and I hope Mainchin shows up to offer some explanation for them. The concern in the first post struck me as weird even if he didn't have any info. Civs getting votes isn't necessarily bad as long as they don't get lynched. "Random" voting always bothers me, as well.

I don't agree so much with your case on Laine; so far he's read somewhat confused civ to me. It could be an act, but I doubt I'd be ready to lynch him for it just yet.

And sentimentality won out; I'm going to the castle, upon the battlements of which I have frightened many a foe.

woods

Voted castle, still haven't had an opportunity to catchup sry. Rl getting in the way. Will do my best to be around soon.

I do have some thoughts, but at the risk of putting the cart before the horse I'll wait until sun up to voice them.

I do

I did not do so, I never mentioned "no shows"; I mentioned people who low posted. You extrapolated. You were reaching, very much so.

I must say I agree with Diedres analysis; I think Laine wanted to vote for me for whatever REAL reason s/he had, and made up a reason.

The Illustrious me, Duke of Farmville, Grand Puba of the Order of the Runny Nose, Clap-On-Clap-Off The Clapper, He Who Zigs When He Should Zag, does herein profess the following postulations in regards to the enclosed quotables and notables.

Firstly, the following:

And sentimentality won out; I'm going to the castle, upon the battlements of which I have frightened many a foe.

Seems to me to be a bit of a stretch, as I doubt any mafia conspirators would so haphazardly recall such information into the public pool. Secondly, the accused mentioned they "may" random post. The fact that they did not drew scrutiny from the quoted posts above. Once more I must draw from the rich and glorious history of our beloved Moonlit Tropics Krackens. Any time someone has a non-random vote, that's a good thing, not a bad thing. It means thought was put into the vote. Random voting is the stuff of cowards. And as for the scrutiny of "why read through their posts?", I seek to remind those gathered here that information is key. Reading and re-reading and re-re-reading should be encouraged, not suspected. Knowledge is power.

Finally I will address the gargoyle that agreed with Diedre's postulation. Given the vote manipulation that is out there, I disagree that civvies getting votes is something we can afford to let happen "as long as they don't get lynched".


So those two are on the radar of this King Regent.

On another note, I'm admittedly quite curious about last nights poll. The similarity with the lynch poll prior is curious. Yet I don't see any immediate effects. Thoughts?
