I think you need to math again.

.... ooops.... 9pm actually, i was only 5 hours off, still it works for me.

I am very excited for Dan's game, and that I am a part of it! I voted yes but quite honestly, whatever works best for most people is fine with me.

On an unrelated note, I have never read or seen The Hobbit. Which is funny because I have read and love The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and even The Lost Tales. I have not watched the movie, because I refuse to do so before I have read the book...

Is it ok to end polls at midnight Eastern Standard Time but get new posts in the morning?

Poll runs till Fri May 30, 2014 3:01 pm

Very wise, young Daisy.

Also, I voted in the poll again. Can I have another 100 gold pieces?

No extra Gold for you! 5 demerits!

O: Rsusit is Dan! Uhm... if I have the sudden violent urge to call you Danny, will that get me modkilled?

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

Only if you act on it.

In the Hobbit, lots of characters have fun nicknames. "Smaug the Unassessably Wealthy, Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities", and Bilbo "Luckwearer, Barrel-Rider" Baggins come to mind.

Come up with nicknames for your fellow players! Top 3 submissions will get 100 gold. Contest is open until Day 0 ends. Mean or demeaning names will not be accepted.

PM or post in thread? How many can we submit?

thellama, Wielder of the Merciless Spite, and Master Caretaker of the Illegible Garden.

Yay Hobbit game!

What is a poo poo platter? Sounds gross.

You're soooo zany.




I have to think about the poll. I don't think I mind that much.

I am not.

It's fun to keep you all guessing.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words. It was really thoughtful
Anyway, my husband is coming back tomorrow, so I'm already feeling better, and I need a break from all the cleaning and tiding up, so I'm here
Just read the last few posts. While I enjoyed all the names you're all coming up with, it seems like a good way for baddies to blend in and take the conversation to more comfortable places. I'll let it slide for now, because it's amusing and to be honest, I don't feel like being too serious myself, at the moment, but at some point, we're going to have to start actually looking for baddies.
By the way, is it still day 0 or are we in day 1?

Are you serious? Participating in a contest set by the host is a distraction? I don't know about you, but I want my gold!

Since I don't really know people here, I find myself at a disadvantage in this sort of competition, so I'd rather focus on other stuff.
That said, here's my poor attempt at this:

It is neither Day 1 nor Day 0, lol. Apparently Day 0 starts tomorrow and the first lynch begins on Friday. A bit of a slow start, so at least we're being faithful to the source material.

Hey, I was just reading about the differences between the two and couldn't help myself. Look what I found:
"Alpacas are shy and quiet, easy to train and handle, and extremely intelligent" :P On the other side: "Llamas are more independent and are often kept separate from other llamas" thought it was appropriate
Kidding, I'm in a snarky mood...don't mind me

@linki: Kitty (K4J)!!! I missed you. Thanks for thinking about me. I figured with all the crap of the last two days, I needed a break

Actually, I'm going to change this once more. All but 6 players have now checked in, and one of those just got her role a few hours ago. Poll is going up now, followed shortly by the Day 1 post. Note that the Day 1 lynch will actually END SATURDAY, JUST AFTER 4:30pm EST.

Because of the repeated changes to Day 0's schedule, ALL players will be receiving their 100 gold for the Day, regardless of whether they have checked in.

Contest entries will be accepted until I go to bed in about an hour. If you read this later and feel that you had something to contribute to the contest but did not get to participate because of the change, PM me and I will judge your entry on its own merits.

@Russ: Are you allowing people to change their lynch votes after they cast them, or is a vote final? (I prefer final, but it's nice to know before voting.)

Seems I missed a vote.

Oh I made it here finally.

Good question! Votes are final and may not be changed. This applies to both Day and Night polls.

Is this a lynch vote now?

Great list, Epi.

Bring it.

I would like the record to reflect how happy I am that so many members of Animal Sanctuary Squad are here! (I have starting making A.S.S. trading cards). I feel like it's been awhile since we were all together.

Been forever since I was in a long game, so I'm excited to get entrenched.
