We must be steadfast in our vigilance for the agents of mordor who no doubt will seek to cull our numbers and claim the one ring for themselves unleashing times of unspeakable horror upon middle earth. Be careful my friends.

Fear not my friend, for we will not always have the mental fortitude to speak in such a manner, and the old ways will fade.

This remains unclear, we should hope for many yet they have not made themselves known so far. Come forth friends and let us set about destroying this damned ring before it corrupts us all.
Let us hope that our allies have skills that may aid and protect us in our quest.

Flavour my dear, so far we have only begun our journey and nothing is clear, only that Gollum is the SK and we are likely among several wolves. So far a lot of postulating and guessing has occurred but nothing of note. Seeking to discredit me for simply joining in the fun would be a fools errand. We need to watch ourselves and hope that whomever among us are the hero's can work to prevent the wolves from harming us.
It is unclear what abilities may be at play, the Lord of the rings central basis is around the ring of power but each race also has skills or abilities that may play a role here. Could there be an elf character that can see through disguises and reveal roles? Maybe someone is Aragorn and can either defend allies or kill foes.
Either way we should watch closely and not cast random aspersions over flavour posts.

They are a provable liar from this post.
Do please help enlighten me? Wherein did I lie?

They are making up a narrative as opposed to regaling what actually happened.
Is that the correct usage of regaling?
Recalling and expressing.
If that is not what regaling means then i meant that.
Having the first post and joining in the fun are the same. This is a game we've all agreed to engage in and I consider posting/chatting to be part of the fun. So you can look at this as a lie if you wish but I don't see what you're seeing.

So it seems less than half of those who are alleged to be here have participated. Thank you for the stats, I've not the time to pull this detail together. I dont yet have a firm direction to point a finger but will review more over the morning and hopefully more will join in the meantime. First, I must attend to my obligations.

Why begging and scrounging for coin of course, so that I might keep my pitiful belongings intact, and some modicum of warmth about me in these dark times.

Have you any thoughts outside your method acting about the players or are you just going to play in character for the game.
That is fair, I'm enjoying the acting quite a bit. As mentioned I will come back with some more substance later in terms of whom I think is worth pursuing. For now other than some players firing accusations all around I couldn't give a particular person I'd suspect with any real belief. I feel its too soon/difficult unless some one would be so kind as to reveal themselves wolf or SK?

Doesn't help I suppose but I don't think I'd know whether they were acting normal/abnormal regardless.

My ability to detect jokes seems a little lacking this morning 🙃
@Ina May the Midwife Playing to the character somewhat and somewhat fluffing out the posts with it, i thought their response to Wendy was suffiecient, i even questioned Wendy with that one. there was a little something in their posts that piqued my interest but i'll be keeping that to myself for now.
