You sure you have your MR preferences set to PDT?

Whatever I have it set to, MR's time stamps match my clock(s).

My thinking: CET (UTC +01:00) = 07:00 AM means PDT (UTC -07:00) = 11:00PM. That's wrong? You should be 8h behind and I definitely posted at 07:33AM.

(With the help of Wikipedia) Aha! CET is UTC+1. PST is UTC-8. PDT is UTC-8+1, or UTC-7. Right now, you presumably are in CEST which is UTC+2. Hence, Pacific time is nine hours behind.

Both you and SS think most of my post are irregular :).

These days, yes, very peculiar. Neither rhyme nor reason to them. But that is a topic for elsewhere.

Re time, and its measurement, isn't it incredible that we live in an age when we can meet over a virtual board - here - quite literally spanning continents and time zones - straddling the world as it were - simultaneously?

I think it is quite extraordinary and really rather wonderful.
 
Well, seeing as the first round of voting is a complete guess, I'm voting for curmudgeonette. Mostly because they voted for me.
 
My, how my heart races as I consider the name that I shall bolden, which signifies a damning vote for one of my brothers and sisters in this village which has provided us with so much, and yet made such demands of us that I have begun to falter, both in mind and heart. My fellow brother Plutonius, who has made such an exclamation of having 'scanned', a phrase he has uttered in the particular manner of speaking that he employs, one or more of us and in short succession, declared his affection towards an accusation thrown in the direction of his very integrity, or Koodauw, who has declared himself as being among the fur-covered ones enamoring to consume us down to our very bones.

As my heart slows, my mind inches towards an inevitable conclusion; the evidence, which mound reach to heights unfathomable by even myself prior to this lamentable chain of events, show that it is not only possible, but also probable, that Plutonius, followed by Koodauw, are both of the fur-covered persuasion after which we are pursuing, both in intellect and in our haste to ensure the continuation of our very survival on the land which we call, affectionately -- but somewhat unwisely, and as I consider this nomenclature, quite coincidental and frighteningly accurate -- Werewolville.

Thank you for going on the record. I can now change my placeholder vote...

What a sight here in our village pub: Plutonius and Sythas have been brawling for hours, with Scepticalscribe taking sides against Pluto. Koodaw and philbeeney have been going at it nearly as long, with Moyank24 taking sides against Koodaw. And now Intell wishes to engage in a war of mutual accusations with me. Instead, I'll step back and choose someone else.

Who to choose? Plutonius has now garnered three of the vilest type of accusations. But perhaps we should consider others? Who's voice(es) should I join? I'll level things out a bit by choosing from the other brawling duo: philbeeney.
 
I suppose I should probably add something before I head back to my rootbeer. Rick for no other reason than I don't particularly like to pile on on day one. Leaves too many people able to hag around in the shadows for a while.
 
Brothers and sisters, my friends, in the search of full disclosure, I present to you my role as a villager. I am a good, positive and benevolent influence on the village, and a deep glad has resounded within my heart at the thought of being able to assist my brothers and sisters with the search for the fur-covered ones who endeavor to feast upon our flesh for both their nutrition and their entertainment.

You care to make any revisions ? I scanned you twice before the game started (to make sure) so I know the truth.

Sythas is a friend in the village and we haven't been brawling. He just needs to be turned into bacon (ok, not Canadian bacon) since he is the seer.

I only scanned you once since I thought you might want some privacy.

I am keenly aware that the situation surrounding my oblong object, of which I shall endeavor to avoid naming, and its particularly awestriking heft urgently warranted a secondary scan, however, there was quite no need for you to hastily bring it up in discussion, especially in such circumstances as those in which we find ourselves in.
 
I'm heading to bed now so I will not be around at the deadline. Thanks for the game and I'll see you at the next one.

Writing yourself off so soon?

Hm.

Such calm acceptance of the hangman's noose usually betokens or signals that the individual giving voice to it is possibly not of the furry persuasion.

My vote is not cast in stone, but I like to hear a defence before changing it.
 
Day 1

It was a merry get-together, the sun was shining and comeagain? was finally content with having a fresh rootbeer in his hand as well as obtaining his favorite spot on the couch they brought out into the garden. While he was blinking into the sunlight, observing the former herbary and now provisional dance-floor, something disturbed the peaceful scene and made him slowly turn his head into the direction of the round card playing table they had placed near the roses..

"You what?!"

"I, I, I just said that I scanned you before..you're alright! Trust me!"

"YOU WHAT!!?!"

"But, but only once I swear - I thought it might disturb your privacy!"

Comegain was smiling to himself..that fella was a strange one, ha! Came with a pompous tinfoil hat and some oversized clownshoes to the garden party, said he thought the invitation said something about bringing your own costumes.

"No, no, you don't understand: I scanned everybody else too!! Moyank even twice :)!"

" - "

That was it, even ravenvii has had enough of that, took Plutonius at his lapel and kicked him out of the gate. "Ah well, see you guys at the next party then!"

Everybody was still shaking their heads as a fine and funky tune made itself audible again..
"JAMIROQUAI? AWESOME!!" And everybody was heading back to the dancefloor already forgetting what just happened. Comeagain was smiling satisfied, whipping his head and feet to the beat while pondering whether he could risk to get another beer while leaving the couch unattended.

---

Plutonius was lynched and a villager.

Next deadline is "today" PDT 11PM / CET 07AM / CEST 08AM - send in your orders!

sorry to see you go pluto. I enjoyed your humor. I think I'm onto something with this philbeeney thing.
 
Night 1

While the party was in full-swing a horrible discovery was made: an empty fridge!
Who was to blame? Suspicious eyes were wandering around and finally found comeagain?, lying in full length on the couch with numerous empty bottles of his favorite rootbeer lying around him. As the angry mob approached the unconscious culprit to serve justice, koodauw pulled out a huge black marker and painted him a beautiful mustache.

comeagain? has passed out (=eaten by WW). It is now Day 2.
Next deadline will be extended due the week-end and ends on Monday 11PM PDT / Thuesday 07AM CET.
 
Yes, I, too, have been wondering about curmudgeonette.

But there are some older hands lurking in the undergrowth, too.

We still have some time before the deadline. Therefore, I'll actually hold off casting a vote until then.
