Work has been a bit crazy, but I just caught up the past day or so. I will be V/LA this weekend, but I will definitely get a post in today before I ship off and def a post sunday night...saturday might be unrealistic
A few notes:
-reading from pages, 33-40, I'd like to say that I'm super happy that the doom and gloom tone that took over has dissipated. This is my first time, and I want this to be fun.
-In speaking of fun, I want to say that, Munch, I totally agree about previous games. I also acknowledge their importance to this game, and how they invariably play a role, but this game is crazy enough...I don't have the time or interest to read through previous games (taking notes here is hard enough, as is). In the end, i also think people overvalue previous games' importance. My guess is that everybody here is pretty smart and conscious of not wanting to conform to previous playing styles. So yeah, we shouldn't end talk of previous games, but let's make sure it's related and clear for those who might not understand as well
-Welcome to the game Young Nick
-Personally, I have a town read on Munch. I don't buy the fact that his explanations of previous wagons were roundabout, hedgy, and manipulative. they read as genuine and town-like to me. I think he is really just trying to analyze what's gone on and jumpstart the group, and for that I have respect. When I come back later tonight to answer Voltaire's question about who I vote to lynch, I think his analysis will be useful. Plus, I got love for a fellow newb.
