I am flattered that you think me famous as I wouldn't say so myself but i'll take it anyway. Though I am afraid that I do not recall you at all though I would have thought I would remember a fellow Victorian.
For the sake of avoiding ambiguity, I live in a state called Victoria - not the historical era.

Just don't use the pure metal, you'll as soon set your face on fire as stabilise your mood. Unless you are into that kind of stuff EURO.
Stupid question really, this is EURO we're talking about.

Have you checked out the two Mesos? You may see it differently but I found Meso I to be intensely enjoyable to review, it was truly a mind-bending experience to try work out who had what motivations. Falc actually votes against me when I point out that the two packs should cooperate on Day 1, and thus the two leading candidates were likely wolves from different packs since a wolf got lynched - which was totally true, and I knew it, because I was a waffle. OTOH I think Meso didn't go beyond two games because it was geared to wipeouts either way and to pack retaliations (which I went to do in Meso II but reneged on because Mal I think got upset at it).

I've previously re-read Meso I for the iambic pentameter face offs and Bagricula RP; and had a second look at whichever Meso where I lynched the seer that had scanned me, for the sheer humour of my incompetent play. I've not looked at them in their whole though. As a hapless villager in both I've not got any positive fond memories of them :p

I've heard lithium is a good mood stabilizer. Not the Nirvana song, the third element on the periodic table. Or rather the salts thereof.

Lithium turns my brain off. I like my brain; it amuses me.

I know. I do too.
I'm going to play the odds here and guess that you're a resident of Melbourne, but you have the redeeming trait of actually having traveled further north than Keilor. Am I correct?

It amuses me too, Euro. There's a reason I temporarily worshiped at the Altar of EUROO7. I stopped because nobody bothered cleaning it, and it was littered with crusty eyepatches.

I've previously re-read Meso I for the iambic pentameter face offs and Bagricula RP;
That was possibly the finest bit of a very fine game. Alas, my meter was often wrong since apparently I can't count and secondly my accent's a crime.

It was Meso I where you lynched the seer. I'm fairly sure Adamus scanned Napoleon XIX who was a waffle, scanned Reis, contacted him asked him to out Napoleon "at some point" I believe the PM said, then scanned you, told Reis, didn't contact you, Reis contacted you, and you both got very suspicious about this seer, especially given the propensity Meso had for IJLs. Hilarity ensues. I think my favorite part was that Adamus made no attempt to clarify the situation even after you two begin to run him up.

Indeed! :)

Although the GM never specifically told me that was a trait... GM, can we get a clarification on this? Are we or are we not told if we get the "north of Keilor" trait? Also what excatly does that trait do (I'm too lazy to check The Rules)?

But I think this goes for pretty much everyone in this game. Except maybe Capt. Kiwi?

Apparently I currently live almost exactly level with Keilor, within a few hundred metres either way. I certainly travel north of Keilor most days of the week.

Those lack the "Have Traveled North of Keilor" trait are restricted to only voting for players who also lack the "Have Traveled North of Keilor" trait because they fail to realize there's a whole world outside of Melbourne.

@ Kiwi

I'm going to guess you live in Hamilton.

Hamilton is one of two 100,000+ people cities in New Zealand that could potentially meet the criteria I gave, hence being able to say that without divulging too much :ninja:

Fair 'nuff. I don't know that I'd be comfortable saying which Victorian town I'm from.

EDIT:

When is the line of death arriving?

Cheers. Lucky I didn't think for myself because I'd have got it wrong; I just add my offset to GMT in my head, and if it's over 24 subtract the amount required to hit 24 from my offset. Which works if you remember your offset, but W7 told me it's +10 when it's +11 right now. Thanks W7, you're always there when I need you.

Not Slumbury, I hope!
Sunbury? No I live south of there. In the East too (the nicer part of town for non Australians). That is as much as I will give you as clues.

Hey 8am is kinda doable, hooray not having the deadline at 6 is an amazing thing (I am assuming you kiwis have daylight saving like we do).

It's more than enough. Once I know you've actually been outside the metropolitan area you're okay by me. And if you're wondering, yes, there are people who never go past Keilor. I was briefly involved with a girl who thought Cragieburn qualified as having left Melbourne...

Yeah. Doubt I'll be on for at least the first deadline since voting's irrelephant but it's doable.

How long ago were you involved with this girl? Given how the city has sprawled in the last couple of decades it is not inconceivable that Craigieburn was not a part of the city within her lifetime.
