I see that the village has been busy in my absence. I do apologize; but a girl's got to make a living.

Here are my thoughts thus far:

I've divided this list into "benefit of the doubt" and "baseless uneasiness" as opposed to "innocent" and "guilty" because, well, what do we really know toDAY?

Benefit of the doubt:

lmp has quite adeptly controlled the conversation all DAY, both in content and in sheer number of posts. Is he a truly helpful innocent, appointing himself as our leader in the absence of an election? Or is he a wolf, cleverly steering the discussion from the very beginning? Either way, he's not getting my vote toDAY--he did get us talking, and if he is a wolf he won't be able to hide in plain sight like that for long.

Firefoot, Glirdan, Kitanna, Kuruharan, Eonwe, Celuien, Kath, and Meneltarmacil have made thoughtful and original posts that have given me pause and helped me think through this DAY. None of them will get my vote.

Baseless uneasiness:

Anguirel's flippant posts are amusing and in character, but I would like to hear more of substance from him. He has named a lot of names toDAY and invoked Orome more than once, but there's something in his posts that feels wrong to me. Despite Kath's assertion that he gives reasons for his suspicions, I think he's simply casting his net as wide as he can toDAY.

Bergil and Wayne have been very reticent, and both voted early. I'll reserve a strong opinion on that for a DAY or two, until we start to see how everyone's schedules shake out. In the future I want to see more substantive posts from both of them, though.

I'd like to hear more from Lalaith and wilwarin; however, since neither has voted, I suspect their contributions will resume after I go to bed (very soon).

As it's getting rather late in this longitude, I've got to cast my (mostly random) vote now.

++ANGUIREL

In the end, his net of suspicion is cast just a little too wide. I've got an unsubstantiated, first-DAY feeling that he's trying to divert our attention from something.
