What the fuck is all this shit about volcanoes from DP? I've never read a page of any of the books so the flavor means nothing to me.

I was going to ask the same thing.

[Linus]

Very true. On that note, what do people think of magic ziggy?

My general impression is that he has given mixed signals, some townish some more scummy. I'll try to reread MZ' contributions from previous game days in a while and look at specific things.

I noted last night that I didn't trust him (when I voted for Ksen rather than RC), but I'm going to have to go back and re-read everything to put my finger on why. I have to do a couple of hours of work before I can get to that. I'm self-aware enough to know I'm prone to trolley-tracking, so I'm going to try to do it with an open mind.

I also realize I was wrong about why I suspected RC, so I'm going to look a him, too, in a fresh light. He's moved toward Town, for me at least, for now.

I CAN'T SEEM TO HEAR ANYTHING TODAY, BUT I HOPE YOU CAN ALL HEAR ME, THESE EARMUFFS ARE QUITE SOOTHING, ESPECIALLY THE CALMING VOLCANO SOINDS. THANK YOU TO WHOMEVER GAVE THEM TO ME. AT LEAST I CAN SEE WHO YOU ARE ALL POINTING YOUR FINGERS AT TODAY AND REPLY TO YOU ABOUT THAT.

Yikes! I just now saw DP's first few posts about the volcanoes in last night's chat. Obviously, he's been cursed somehow, but I can't make head nor tails of it yet.

[Feck]

I can only think Of Mau from 'Rites of Passage' or Anoia l formerly the volcano goddess Lela.

[Don't Panic]

ksen, amok, feck, athene (in that order) are my top town/non-scum reads.

I agree with the Shizzle lynch:

I SEE YOU POINTING AT MATT, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING THAT TODAY, AM I TALKING LOUD ENOUGH? THAT VOLCANO SOUNDS LIKE IT'S IN THE BUILDING NEXT DOOR.

A shot in the dark, because of the earmuffs: The Hedgehog Can Never be Buggered at All

Are you OK now, DP?

Volcanoes? No clue yet.

[Feck]

Thoughts on Gonzo anyone ?

[BarnettNewman]

This flavour everyone's talking about has me perplexed. I guess it's an acquired taste that I will have to obtain over the next few games.

Ksen, your attempt to get lynched almost worked. Either you are being truthful about your role or you slipped up by posting that you were blocked and made up a very creative reasoning. while I am obviously no judge of flavour it seems believable.

I will reserve my lynch vote for now.

@@vote athene@@

It's the "flavour" of the game topic, Barnett, using the original material. When Zigmen's reveal said Ksen was "allergic to danger," I Googled Discworld and that phrase, and up popped the section on Rincewind, who's a comically incompetent "wizzard." He's a big chicken, but nothing about his discription suggests evil, so I figured Ksen was Town. I did the same re: The Luggage, and that's why I thought Oblivion had been Scum killed rather than UT killing her with an invention. The Luggage eats landscape as well as people and things, and Zigmen said the cause of the missing landscape was nearby - dead Oblivion.

Thank you. I should have realized that these weren't throw sways but actual references to the books.

[amok]

The Greek god of volcanoes Hephaestus lusted after Athena. Athene?

Still looking. Be right back.

[amok]

Never mind. I just Googled Volcano & Each of Our Names, and got hits for almost all of us (including me - ha!).

Going back to the game threads and maybe the Discworld sites, but that was getting a bit ridiculous.

[BarnettNewman]

Lukewarm and not on his town game.
