Sick from the flu, but mentally well and celebrating my one-year anniversary with my girlfriend. <3
Why do I get an image of you in a labcoat cackling over a sewn together pile of body parts when you say that?
Get better and have fun. I need you to be in tip top shape for this game so I don't have to do any work.

Because that's not too far from my actual reputation on a different site? (Not joking, you're actually hitting the nail on the mark when it comes to my persona on a different site. )
At a town hall meeting, a group of individuals gathers to discuss affairs of a fine city. The meeting goes as such meetings typically go, with many ideas raised, much support behind these ideas, and yet conflicting opinions on how to go about implementing the idea, until ultimately some different topic takes priority, shifting discussion and tabling the prior matter until the next meeting.
Usually, as it happens, the only thing the townsfolk actually end up implementing is the last thing to be discussed, frequently something which wasn't even placed on the initial agenda. Quite often, as a result of an aired grievance, shared by a small vocal portion of the citizenry, a change is made abruptly which affects the whole community and not simply those in attendance.
Such bureaucracy doesn't tend to work well, but it is all they really seem to have and it's better than nothing. "It's not the best system in the world, it's just the
only
system in the world" is the common mindset to these proceedings, and as a whole, people tend to simply accept the results for what they are: imperfect, but leading to significant changes to the community that should theoretically be for the better.
"Now, I know we could use some renovation to the town square, but the gallows there are a city treasure! We simply can't replace them."
"But we don't even
use
them anymore. They're a relic of the past."
"Hmph. If I had
my
way, we'd still be using them! Why, so many of our issues would be solved if we could just get rid of the troublesome individuals in our community the old-fashioned way!"
"If you had
your
way, old geezer, those 'troublesome individuals' would be everyone except for you."
"That's beside the point."
"While I might not go to the extremes of ol' gramps here, I share his sentiment. It's undeniable we have our issues, here, and I think we all know what they are."
"Yeah!"
"We should rid our city of dirty cri--"
"Wolves!"
"...Uh, I was talking ab--"
"YEAH! WOLVES!"
"Why, just the other day, I was taking a walk during the night. I saw a wolf prancing about, and I was so startled that I fell on my back! I broke my tailbone from that fall! If it weren't for those damned wolves, I'd be fine!"
"Would you believe the nerve? I saw some wolf assaulting a group of punks! I swear those sweet innocent kids couldn't have done any harm with what I'm pretty sure were just some utility knives, yet that monster was clearly attacking them!"
"And wouldn't you know it? I saw a wolf holding an old lady as she was walking down a street! That was obviously harassment!"
"That's nothing. I was driving my car down Main Street, cruising at a fine 60 mph, and a wolf out of NOWHERE appeared in front of me! I swear it musta jumped out deliberately, to force me to swerve and wreck my car!"
"Isn't the speed limit on Main Street thirty?"
"What? Everyone does it."
"...No argument there."
"You think that's bad? Well, I tell ya. I had one of my chickens disappear overnight, with nothing but a blood stain remaining. And you know what I found? Tracks, tracks through the chicken coop door! There's no way that could have been anything other than a wolf murdering my poor chicken!"
"I think we can all agree then...
"It is time to...
Lynch the Wolves
."
"...Where do we begin?"

So Creature gave me an /in via PM; I'm counting it for now (though I probably need to have him post an explicit confirmation), which gets us at 15/18. Almost there!
(On the note of players giving PMs, the anonymous three-headed hydra has had all heads individually confirm via PM...but what I really need is a post from any head on the hydra account in here, because it aint much of an anonymous hydra if by virtue of me NOT KNOWING WHAT ACCOUNT TO SEND MESSAGES TO I am forced to send messages to each individual head. )
EDIT:
The account apparently has activation issues, but I know who they are now, so they're good so long as they get activated before the game starts.
