Adam Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Slips a leash around Danyelle's neck and starts grooming hair with a brush. Okay doggy, let's find these monsters, just like our pal Scooby. Ruh roh... ...
CMP Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Tosses Danyelle a dog biscuit. Who wants to come pet my new doggy?!
LegoDad Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 It is my observation that my sister Alicia's top totally clashes with her eyes. Plus, that outfit makes her look fat. Honey, you wouldn't know style if it slapped you in your weave. Mom's right, I am the better sister. I have come up with a song for you too, because we all know how good of a singer I am, at least somebody in our family got some talent. "Margret,.....Starts with an M OMG, she's got a snag in her hem. When she turns around, I see a giant butt All the rumors are that she is a s**t!" Aaarrghhachcaafchaf! Is he speaking dog?
Waterbrick Down Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Hm, that was less than stellar, I must say. Okay, okay, I'll give you more time. But don't be so rude to Paris, analyzing posts is a good strategy. It's not her fault there are no posts yet. No one was rude to Mr. Ms. Paris. Don't you think you're being a little prematurely defensive over something no one brought up? "Margret,.....Starts with an M OMG, she's got a snag in her hem. When she turns around, I see a giant butt All the rumors are that she is a s**t!" What is that sound that brings such sweet rapture to my ears, could it be nothing less than an angel that has humbled herself to trod upon this earth with mere mortals? Oh, Alicia, ever since you walked through that door, you walked through the door to my heart. Please don't stop.
Tamamono Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 No one was rude to Mr. Ms. Paris. Don't you think you're being a little prematurely defensive over something no one brought up? *falsetto* Dahling, refer to me as "Her Majesty". It's so~ much easier. And yes, now that you mention it, it is rather odd... At first I thought she was agreeing with me, but now, upon re-inspection, I see that she was literally telling people to lay off me. It's ridiculous, really, because analyzing things and lynching Monsters is what we're here for. Sure, I'm happy to roleplay and share tips from my blog with you guys, but I don't want the entire Day to fall into useless roleplay and then a Council lynch (which is what we seem to be seeing - the same usual Day 1 routine...). Rosie should understand that, and see that others obviously understand it as well. And if anybody stepped to me for wanting to actually play the game, I'd stick 'em like a pig without anybody's help. (Who's to say a lady can't defend herself??) Perhaps she thought that the fact that I wanted to get right down to business would be seen as premature? Again, ridiculous, it's never too early to butcher scum. Plus, I've never had premature problems of any sort. I do things right when I mean to do them. Rosie, why did you feel the need to tell people to "not be rude to me"? You don't need to worry about me. I mean, really, dahling, I can hold my own. Tip #3: If you can't hold your own against haters, don't even bother stuffing a bra before going out.
CMP Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Is he speaking dog? Yup. He's asking for someone to give him a treat and come rub his belly. ....I think he means his belly, anyway. Rosie, why did you feel the need to tell people to "not be rude to me"? You don't need to worry about me. I mean, really, dahling, I can hold my own. Tip #3: If you can't hold your own against haters, don't even bother stuffing a bra before going out. That is a little odd. It'd take a really dumb scum to even vaguely try to lower suspicion on someone, but it's worth pointing out, I suppose.

(Who's to say a lady can't defend herself??) First off, I think I might have a cavity, because you're real sweet. Second, the day's still young, you can't expect us to spring into action right away. You're acting like the entire day, like you said, is going to be made up of mindless role play and then a random lynch. No one has evidence right when we start and the only way to start getting valid suspicions is to just start talking like we are now.

You'll do better with a girl your own age, though. You seem to be misinterpreting me, dahling. I suppose I could have phrased what I said better, though. Whatever. What I mean is that in recent past lives, people have spent the first 24 hours of the first Day either roleplaying or talking about something entirely inevitable (such as a young lady's miller claim in an old Western I saw). I'm not saying the entire day is made up of role-playing - just enough of it so that we can't get a scum lynch carried out. I see a lot of people accusing scum on Day 1 in past lives, but almost always it's someone town who perishes (due to townie laziness and over fluff posting (going to start calling it fluff posting because role playing is great. I'll be role playing like this for the rest of the game, dahlings.)). I'm ready for the accusations of scum to start carrying through into scum lynches. You're absolutely right that we have no evidence. If we ever did on the first Day, I wouldn't have to stress the importance of trying extra hard to lynch scum. All I'm saying is that we should take a more proactive approach to this game of life than we (namely I, in a lot of cases) have taken to past games of life.

End result sounds like someone strangling Fran Drescher with a stuffed weasel*
Fred Daniel Yam Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Welp, here I am everyone. Second, the day's still young, you can't expect us to spring into action right away. You're acting like the entire day, like you said, is going to be made up of mindless role play and then a random lynch. No one has evidence right when we start and the only way to start getting valid suspicions is to just start talking like we are now. That is pretty much what happens, unless someone just slips up and makes easy for everyone
PsyKater Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Analyzing people is a difficult thing when everybody is just talking about styling tips without even noticing my favorite sweater, I am wearing today. It's handmade!
Endgame Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Sorry I dozed off there for a second, everyone! All those scientists say that the timezones are caused by the earths orbirotation or whatever... But I know the truth! They were made by aliens! Aliens, I'm telling you! No one was rude to Mr. Ms. Paris. Don't you think you're being a little prematurely defensive over something no one brought up? I'd have to agree with this, and not just because you complimented my eyes, either. It may have been a simple slip, but still, I don't think sitting around and talking about their blogs and sweaters is the most productive - and although my superstitions are obviously true, they don't have too much of a place here, either. It's essentially just garbled fluff that has nothing in it to analyze. Like I said, the slip may not be the most concrete of things, but we should at least try to pursue it. Like he-she-it-or-something-inbetween said, we can't just faff about infinitely on day one. At least this is creating some conversation.

Oh, Alicia, ever since you walked through that door, you walked through the door to my heart. Please don't stop. Thank you soooooooooo much! I really pride myself in my singing and songwriting. I will have many more where that came from, just need more inspiration. Oh, you are so mature. And who says I don't have talent? I'm a great singer! *Attempts to sing "I Dreamed a Dream". End result sounds like someone strangling Fran Drescher with a stuffed weasel* You only WISH you could sing like me. Everybody says I'm tone deaf, but I know they are just jealous. These pipes needs to be heard by the masses, I mean, just look at the compliments I've already received!
mostlytechnic Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 *Attempts to sing "I Dreamed a Dream". End result sounds like someone strangling Fran Drescher with a stuffed weasel* Making a sound THAT horrible is a certain sign of scum, or so I've heard. But then again, at this point I think ALL OF YOU are scum. I know I'm not, so if we just lynch everyone but me, we win, right? But you all are just overwhelming me with strange people. It's making my teratophobia flare up I tell you!
Kadabra Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Personally, I'm more worried about over thinking and then piling on someone who makes a D1 mistake (like over-fluff-posting) than under thinking, because in my past experience the former is the standard. We need to keep an eye out for scum, but we also need to realize that most townie will be 'scum-telling' on ?d1 until things really start to get going.
LegoDad Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 It does seem to happen more often than not, though, that there is an early defense that gets overlooked, or not pursued, and the individual ends up being scum. The last time we got all locked up I called someone out about it and it was brushed aside, and he was a bad, bad man. Reminds me of a song I wrote "Early defenses.... Seem kind of scummy Cherry chapstick Is kind of yummy We shouldn't just let her off the hook Or she might just kill us with a book" "Early defenses...... Not so townie God I could really go for some fresh made brownies Did we just see, a scummy hiccup? Did we just see, a scummy slip-up?" That's how you write and perform, folks. I really wish my sister would have the same talent I do, we might have made for a nice singing duo. She ruins everything for me!
Peanuts Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 No one was rude to Mr. Ms. Paris. Don't you think you're being a little prematurely defensive over something no one brought up? I was talking to Henry the Hair Brush. He was using very harsh language. As you might have noticed by the fact that the sentence before was addressing him, as well as the sentence before that. I sometimes talk to Henry, you know. Henry may be a jerkass, but he's a damn good hair bush. [should I use some kind of color or font when I'm talking to myself from now on? I can see how this is confusing]

Preach it, Janice! I was talking to Henry the Hair Brush. He was using very harsh language. As you might have noticed by the fact that the sentence before was addressing him, as well as the sentence before that. I sometimes talk to Henry, you know. Henry may be a jerkass, but he's a damn good hair bush. [should I use some kind of color or font when I'm talking to myself from now on? I can see how this is confusing] Hm. I suppose that makes the most sense of everything. Yes, please do change your tone when talking to your... pet, dahling. Tip #46: Speak to people and animals differently. To one, say things like "Fetch!" "Who's a good boy?" and "Mhmmm, you like that, huh... To the other, don't bother, it's an animal.
TrumpetKing Posted July 26, 2013 Author Posted July 26, 2013 Everybody is downstairs, enjoying lunch. Everybody except Balthasar Jameson. "Grumble bumble." Balthasar sits grumble-bumbling as he plays with his ball, a guilty pleasure he's found from working with kids for so long. Voting is now open! With 20 people, it takes 11 people to form a lynch
Kristel Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Lunch! I hope you morons left me some honey sandwiches. Where's the homeless guy? You'd think he'd be the first one here, stuffing his face. Seems today's chatter has been pretty predictable, full of fluffy posts and statements of the obvious. The only thing that has stood out for me so far is this: No one was rude to Mr. Ms. Paris. Don't you think you're being a little prematurely defensive over something no one brought up? I found it odd that Tybalt would try to cast suspicion on Rosie for this when it seemed obvious to me that she was talking to Henry the Hairbrush. I love stories! Care to read us a book or two? Only for the kiddies ...
Esurient Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 I found it odd that Tybalt would try to cast suspicion on Rosie for this when it seemed obvious to me that she was talking to Henry the Hairnrush. Interesting, I would like to hear what Tybalt has got to say about that. Since our bumble bee storyteller only tell stories to kiddies, I think it's time for another edition of The Adventures of Romeo Barnaby ... Monday 12 June 1993 2359Hrs. Bedtime. Just had the most eventful day. After attempting to capture that annoying bird as my pet, I got myself lost in The Great Desert. Great. And coincidentally, I ran out of water. So I was literally on the verge of death. It was so hot and Sandman didn't have any water to spare. Suddenly, at a distance I saw an oasis. Woohoo!! Water! And I ran towards it, I kept running, but never seemed to reach it. Then I passed by a giant cactus, which I slashed it open and I was saved. Phew! No more pets for me!!
Tamamono Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 *falsetto* So, dahlings, let's maybe get this show on the road? I would cast a vote for someone, but there's really nobody who stands out at this time. Now that she's explained that she was talking to her hairbrush, I see no reason to find Rosie particularly scummy. I'm not sure why Balthazar thinks Tybalt's scummy for calling her out on it... he saw something that pinged his scumdar and acted on it like a good townie would. Now, at this stage in the game, he definitely could be scum, but there's no reason to suspect him more than anyone else at this point. While I of course don't expect there to be anything remotely concrete at this point, the time has come to get our sorry megablocks in gear and start hunting scum. Currently, the ones who have only posted once are: Brittney Tybalt Lawrence Ronald Amanda Abraham Rocky Melanie Of these, both Tybalt and Ronald posted fairly on-topic posts. While not towntells specifically, I feel like these people need less of an incentive to participate than the others. I do realize it's early on, dahlings, but the faster we get people to come out of their shells and participate, the quicker we're going to catch scum. Come on, it's fun! *falsetto* Oh, also, Benvolio has yet to post. Benvolio, Benvolio, where for art though, Benvolio!?

We need to keep an eye out for scum, but we also need to realize that most townie will be 'scum-telling' on ?d1 until things really start to get going. So, are you saying we should not analyze? The thing about Day One is there's usually some room for error, so it's not a national tragedy if we lynch a fluff-poster. If people can't find something to contribute to the game, then we have to wonder if they're trying to hide or if they simply can't be arsed to do anything. I don't agree with your assessment that "most townie will be 'scum-telling'". Certainly a few might be acting cagey and refusing to stick their necks out too far, but I think you'll find that the vast majority of townies will want to do their part to help the town and make it clear that they're helping the town. That usually does take the form of close analysis. It sounds to me like you're giving people a free pass to act scummy and suspicious, simply because it's Day One. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a dance number to rehearse. *Attempts to tap dance. Trips on shoelace and faceplants hard*
Purpearljellyblob Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 *Yawns* *Rubs eyes* Did someone say my name? Its Laurence, not Lawrence. I had a read on the logs and I find it interesting that we get 2 totally varied responses in response to what Janice had said.

Preach it, Janice! 2. So, are you saying we should not analyze? The thing about Day One is there's usually some room for error, so it's not a national tragedy if we lynch a fluff-poster.
