I must say that going over a few posts (quickly), a few people seemed to jump right on the "let's get rid of the quiet ones" suggestion that I came up with. I say that we look closely at them *coughLhunacough*. Me saying that was a complete ploy to bring out discussion. Not exactly what happened, but close enough.

Firstly, I must say that I'm glad to see that some people saw my vote for what it truly was: randomness. Those people know who they are.

Now, when I say Lhuna, I mean it. She really jumped at me when I suggested it. Then she goes and votes for me for coming up with that idea and my random (which I said in my vote post) vote for Gil. Talk about a quick reaction to it. Definetly at the top of my list.

Now to adress a few things:

Too arbitrary. Let's see what people say (or not). If someone acts suspicious, lynch that one instead of an arbitrarily picked quiet one. There's not guarantee that the three werewolves will follow the ol' quiet/middling/loud format anyway(Lmp)

This is completely true and with in this group of villagers, I must say that we are all too smart enough to do this, especially seeing as this is what happens in other villages. I think if the Wolves were truly smart, we wouldn't have that combination. We'd probably have all three equally loud and talkative. Which really doesn't help us to go through their posting patterns.

Awsome questions you came up with Aiwendil and I will adress them right now:

1. What is the most reliable way of spotting a wolf? Should we focus on the accusations people make, on the general tone of their posts, or on their voting records?

Voting records don't always help, but they are a very good way to go by. The accusations people make is definetly good to look at the Day after that person has been killed or lynched and proven innocent. As for the tone of the post, well, it all depends on how you yourself take the posts. Because one person could take something that was supposed to be humourous and turn into an accusation which could lead to trouble for both people.

2. What should the Gifteds' strategy be? My own feeling is that the Gifteds, and our Seers in particular, should emphatically not risk revealing themselves unless necessary. Especially at the outset, the prime goal of the Gifteds should be to survive.

I find that this question isn't as bright as the previous one simply because that's the intention of not only the Gifteds, but the Wolves as well. As for revealing themselves, I think only if the need is desperate they should reveal themselves.

The third one doesn't really apply toDay. However, I still believe that we should probably spread the votes, slightly. Keep it concentrated on those who voted for the known innocents.

While I have some sympathy for this view and will not look kindly upon those who hold back and do not contribute to our discussions, I believe that some restraint is in order here. Quietness alone doth not a Wolf make. We must look for other evidence in that which is said and, more importantly, in the way that the votes are cast.(Spm)

I do quite agree. As I said earlier, that suggestion was merely a way to start discussion and as you see, it didn't quite work out how I planned it.

I'll have more up in a bit.
