From what I've put together from the very little time I've been here, people like playing while at work more than any other location .

Linki- Bahaha alloy? Really? Well then...might as well get the ball rolling...

And begin discussion.

I hope sable posts at some point. I was interested to get to know a new player.

Just a gentle reminder from your friendly neighborhood Mongoose on what constitutes info dumping.

Stating you know someone's alignment or stating your own as mafia constitutes info dumping as this shows you have information regarding the same. You may state that you are civ.
Stating you know someone's role or starting your own constitutes info dumping as this shows you have information regarding the same.

If you have a question on what constitutes info dumping, please ask S~V~S or myself. You can even send me a prospective post and ask me to verify whether it's crossing the line or not.

If you have a question on interpreting any of the other rules, please ask S~V~S or myself. We would be happy to kindly clarify them for you.

Remember, it's not actually better to ask forgiveness rather than permission. This post was not to call anyone out but a beginning of the game reminder for all players, since we are just coming out of the gate.

As you were, and enjoy the game!

AP checked in at least, and Epig and Eloh are camping. That leaves:

Boogs
Hedgeowl
Keterman

I'll probably vote for one of them for being delinquent in their duties, especially if they haven't shown up by tomorrow.

It's early to be throwing out that kind of thing isn't it? Missing a day zero vote isn't exactly a sign of being a baddie.

As we learned in Fight Club, you can miss several votes and it still won't make you a baddie.

Yes, but it doesn't make you NOT a baddie either. ANyway, I was mainly just trying to goad people into showing up. It worked with Boogs.

The poll doesn't have an end time so Mongoose is likelywaiting until the holiday is over.

Llama your plan to vote someone bc they did not check assumes you know when the poll will end.so do you have some kind of inside info privvy only to you?

Do you know more than me? I doubt it tbh

I'm just stirring the pot.

He's just jealous i am hanging with his family and he isnt. Go ahead and revenge vote me logan, plus cant pass up a chance to call me Hedgebaddie right?

See? It worked with Hedgeowl too! Peer pressure.

Roxy wrote: Do you know more than me? I doubt it tbh

This could be read either as "I don't think llama has any info (civ)" or "I have so much info it's doubtful whether anyone else has more."

Ehh, inactivity this early in the game, especially with such a (relatively) short day 0 doesn't surprise me. Especially on a holiday weekend.

someone did indeed poison me

but who, what, where, when, why, and how is not the question

the only thing i do know for sure is that time is short and you must find my killer as quickly as possible

or else there will be dire consequences

in other news i am having a contest

whoever can correctly mention the word i am thinking of will win a prize from the lovely, beautiful, intelligent hostess

whoever posts the word first wins the prize so get to it

Is it felt by any chance?

Feel free to interact with the Big Boss's Assistant's Ferret's Ghost. The contest is legit and open to all players. Please do not post more than three times in succession, however. Please put something even vaguely on-topic in each of your posts.

And go!

It reads to me like I find it highly unlikely llama is smarter than me bc I am smarter older and wiser.

Linky is it denim?

It better not be moustache.

Is it one of these?

Felt is a textile that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibres together. Felt can be made of natural fibres such as wool or synthetic fibres such as acrylic. There are many different types of felts for industrial, technical, designer and craft applications. While some types of felt are very soft, some are tough enough to form construction materials. Felt can vary in terms of fibre content, colour, size, thickness, density and more factors depending on the use of the felt.

Many cultures have legends as to the origins of feltmaking. Sumerian legend claims that the secret of feltmaking was discovered by Urnamman of Lagash. The story of Saint Clement and Saint Christopher relates that while fleeing from persecution, the men packed their sandals with wool to prevent blisters. At the end of their journey, the movement and sweat had turned the wool into felt socks.

Feltmaking is still practised by nomadic peoples (Altaic people:Mongols;Turkic people) in Central Asia, where rugs, tents and clothing are regularly made. Some of these are traditional items, such as the classic yurt (Gers), while others are designed for the tourist market, such as decorated slippers. In the Western world, felt is widely used as a medium for expression in textile art as well as design, where it has significance as an ecological textile.

Felt is used everywhere from the automotive industry, to musical instruments and home construction as felt paper. It is often used as a damper. In the automotive industry, for example, it damps the vibrations between interior panels and also stops dirt entering into some ball/cup joints. Felt is used on the underside of a car bra to protect the body.

Many musical instruments use felt. On drum cymbal stands, it protects the cymbal from cracking and ensures a clean sound. It is used to wrap bass drum and timpani mallets. Felt is used extensively in pianos; for example, piano hammers are made of wool felt around a wooden core. The density and springiness of the felt is a major part of what creates a piano's tone. As the felt becomes grooved and "packed" with use and age, the tone suffers. Felt is placed under the piano keys on accordions to control touch and key noise; it is also used on the pallets to silence notes not sounded by preventing air flow.

Felt is used for framing paintings. It is laid between the slip mount and picture as a protective measure to avoid damage from rubbing to the edge of the painting. This is commonly found as a preventive measure on paintings which have already been restored or professionally framed. It is widely used to protect paintings executed on various surfaces including canvas, wood panel and copper plate.

A felt-covered board can be used in storytelling to small children. Small felt cutouts or figures of animals, people, or other objects will adhere to a felt board, and in the process of telling the story, the storyteller also acts it out on the board with the animals or people. Puppets can also be made with felt.

German artist Josef Beuys used felt in a number of works.

During the 18th and 19th centuries gentlemen's top hats made from beaver felt were quite popular. In the early part of the 20th century, cloth felt hats, such as fedoras, trilbies and homburgs, were worn by many men in the western world.

I bet its Fez.

Maybe dirt or aloha I cba to be sure.

I bet it's - oh

I think I guess who won hahahaha
Linky aperson - lolololol

Ah man, I bet Roxy won.

Hello everyone! Camping was fun and went very well for it being our kids first time going. (They aren't used to being surrounded by so much dirt .) I am glad to be back for most of Day 1. I've caught up, but there don't seem to be any suspects yet, I see.

What, you expect me to do all your work for you? Come up with some opinions and we'll talk.

My opinion is there is not much to go on at this point other than we have some talkative players and some not-so-talkative players. BUT...I don't like to play the "quiet" card on day 1.

This is slow-goings so far. -_-

I suspect AMattMattPerson for being so quick to post on Day 0. Usually it takes him a while. I suspect Keterman for not showing up. I don't like people who don't show up. I think MR and Roxy (despite Roxy calling me stupid compared to her ) are probably good. I don't trust you and your husband one bit, but you have been away, so I will give you some time. Hedgeowl is bad in every game. Let's see, counting questionable felt there are five people to kill, so that about covers it for now.

You're a bit of a nut .

I bought a big thing of honey roasted cashews today.

I ate them all already.

I had some soy nuts earlier. They were good.

I would like to see Keterman post more, he was at least around to vote as a non-player before he subbed into Monty Python, iirc. So it's not like he's totally m.i.a.

You mean more than... zero times? Yeah, I would like that too. If I don't see it, I'm voting to lynch him.

I was eating Brazil nuts while writing that post I'd like to see Keterman pop up too. From my experience with him, he is not a very quiet player.

Brazil Nuts are radioactive. If you walk into a nuclear power plant with a pocket full of brazil nuts, their radiation detectors will go off. True story.

Also, bananas, but not so much.
