I think we should play Name That Tune.

Da da-da da DA, da...

Hint: a holiday classic, jazzed up, can you name that tune in six notes?

Sorry to hear it. A miserable cold is a miserable cold. Liquids, chicken soup, plenty of rest. Probably stay home from work for a couple of weeks just in case, right? Feel better!

And the same to you, although it's not morning any more. Well I guess it is morning somewhere.

... what do you mean,. the evil Elves aren't black-skinned and white-haired Underdark dwellers? Bah, humbug!

Now if people said they didn't understand THIS post, I could empathize.

It's some D&D stuff, right?

If Archangel can explain this to me I will reciprocate by explaining Meeko. if I can.

Hey, CatsMeow, good to see you back! I would not worry about typos. Everybody makes 'em.

Hi, Silverjan! What is with all this confusion? Has everybody had too much eggnog?

Hm, there's an idea, too much eggnog...or other potable...hmm...

Is this a multi-vote game, or just one vote per player per Day?

Silver Coyote, a good mix. But I thought Colby was in the game.

(Okay, I stole that from the Rhymes With Orange comic.)

I thought you were a guy, could still be, but I guess not, maybe the name should have been a giveaway.

One active vote per player at a time. You have to unvote to place a new one, but you are allowed to unvote and make new votes.

[Prof. Pepperwinkle]

Colby said he wasn't playing this one after the way the last game went.

Or maybe it's the dip. Or the eggnog.

I am not following how you're having trouble. Looks like a typical first day to me. Hmmm...

Overtired after driving 12 hours in the 24 hours before that.

Sounds like a Pink Panther to me. Not that any such monster exists - it wouild appear in my seminal work, the Monster Manual.

Beholders have no legs. They levitate everywhere.

If Archangel can explain this to me I will reciprocate by explaining Meeko. if I can.

But, what if, watch this now.... What if Meeko can explain this, himself?

Mord is basically comparing .... Shall we say North Pole, Earth, Santa Elves ..... To Forgotten Realms, or similar elves. .... Mice and Rats. Dogs and Wolves..... Kind of thing.

[Meeko]

Further.... A beholder is a huge floating eyeball..... Thing. With tentacles.... That are still yet even more eyeballs.

[Meeko]

Precisely.

I responded with ""Critical Miss"" / Crit Miss to let Mord know that i know that he knows that I know. You know?

What do you mean, "Not helping?"

[Meeko]

The amount of snuggling, tho.

I’m currently in my first D&D campaign ever, but my daughter says it’s some kind of eye monster?

Not to be confused with iMonster ... That's Apple's play in the electronic disguise market.

[Christmas Sock]

Anyone excited to play is sus. Methinks you'll be getting coal this season.

Please excuse them as typing is a part of my therapy after stroke recovey. Very happy to be here and to be a part of the Giraffe Boards.

Can any of the current players tell me how to utilize the Vote Counter?

Thank You all!

Seriously, for not understanding what on earth you were on about. FOS on Meeko for not knowing he is always difficult to understand, especially when he goes off on some tangent that means nothing to me and I didn't know about your sock. Do you know any of my socks?

This is what I mean, it means absolutely nothing to me and I don't know what you are talking about

I believe Annoying Christmas Singer is set to be wrapped if nothing changes. Still some time left. And no voting me! That's the main advantage of being the mod. I can survive the game for once!

[A Poor Shepherd Boy]

If the Cop claims and the Doc protects the Cop then we get Cop reads until the Doc dies. Though Town lost last time using this method, I think the concept is sound and that loss had more to do with poor play than poor theory.

With three potential kills per Night and a Doc who cannot self-protect, this plan maximizes and directs the use of Town resources.

Assuming 17 potential choices for the Cop toNight and only two at most potential bad reads, this semi-clearing of Town players while hunting for the four vulnerable Scum puts Town on the offense.

The vaccine made it very minor.

Getting Covid tested today at 2. Normally feeling like this I would just take over-the-counter meds and go in to work, but that seems risky now. The store will be crowded and we are short-handed to say the least. But what else to do?

[Swammerdami]

I just read that quantum physicists think they have entangled a whole animal with two qubits. Google "tardigrade quantum entangled experiment." Some of you appear to be in a superposition of town AND scum.

I'm afraid I'll need to use the I-Ching Bot for toDay's vote.

I can always re vote you, you know.

And, I'm almost certain that I can talk Meeko into voting along with me. .... Although, he is never in the same room as me.

[Meeko]

I've been meaning to post this one. ... And watch it again this year. You'll forgive me, my timing for like, all things here, has been off this year. A lot.

@Vanta Black, why did you want *me* to explain the D&D monster? Or did I misunderstand what you were asking me?

What game was this that you're referring to as "last time"?

As a D&D Dungeon Master since 1978, one does not explains a Beholder. One simply runs from it. Quite fast.

I don't see a problem with this scenario, and I'm the Cop.

It would seem to me that BC's claiming of a Power makes him a target for either or both of the two Scum teams, and unlikely to survive for long. I don't see a need to vote him toDay.

Ok.


The lot of you just lost all right to protest me posting Magic : The Gathering Collectible Card Game related asides in my Mafia post making.

Keep it up, and I'll be forced to include My Little Pony Collectible Card Game asides as well!

The fact that they both made a card named "Time Warp" and both use extra space on their respective card to reference Rocky Horror... Still amazes me.

Without block or redirect, it’s the clear play.

Unfortunately, I won’t protect you.

And if he is the town doc, your claim of cop makes your lifespan limited

[TheCatsMeow]

Loving the first day posts! How is everyone doing today?
