Hmm....

How does one post posts of sustantial content on Day 1? Unless someone is foolish enough to make some major slipups (and that's unlikely in a village this experienced), there is no reason as yet to start jumping on people's cases. Glirdan, for example, is chronically known to overreact to accusations. Until another day has passed and we see the death of another of our number, there is no point or reason to trying to analyze each other's votes. All we can do is make a lot of senseless noise, post a vote, and then move on to the Night....

Or one can post suggestions about how to make Day 1 more useful and helpful. Quite frankly, I have nothing in common with such suggestors. A look over my Day 1 record will reveal a good deal of irreverence on them. I'm not, by and large, inclined to take them overly seriously.

Of course, I must at some point in this Day vote. Here's my list of candidates:

dancing spawn of ungoliant: With a name like that she's probably evil, and ought to be killed, but her being Nilp's paramour and all, I think that, on this day of mourning at least, I shall give her a bye.
Kath: Perenially suspicious, typically an Ordo- typically quiet. We may as well lynch her and have done with it.
Lhunardawen: Dear little sis... Like one Eomer of the Rohirrim I cannot vote for thee so soon, and with no reason. But think not that mine brotherly ways shall save thee if a Wolf thou art!
Caranlondien: A newcomer to this realm. I'll let her have a full day at it rather than casting my random vote at the newbie.
tar-ancalime: A witch, and a history of being a Werewolf. A tempting vote, if only to be safe...
Cailín: Always a suspicious player, but so typically an Ordo (but not always...). Not crossing her off as the "recipionist" of my vote today.
Celuien: A frog and a psychiatrist? Typically Ordo, though...
Naria: Always vaguely suspicious. One is inclined to vote her off just to clear the waters a little.
Valier: Suspicious this one can be, but transparent is more accurate, I'd say- a transparency that some paranoid players translate into suspicion. She'll not get my vote- today.
Lalaith: The epitome of the quiet wolf- if she is one. Otherwise, seems fated to be an ordo. Killing her may be advisable just to make sure she's not a Wolf again...
Thinlómien: Don't know her playing style well. I'll leave her be this day, at least.
Garin: His playing style begs suspicion- always and everytime. And his track record's not so good either (two out three times as a Wolf- I think?). A consideration...
Formendacil: Unless I did a Nilp, this would not even be a consideration, and since doing a Nilp has already been done, I clearly can't do that. Too easily misconstrued as a cop-out.
littlemanpoet: Verbal, noisy, and confident player, but not one to be stereotyped as an Ordo. I'll pass him by today if only to keep his keen brain around.
Glirdan: As previously mentioned, he's perennially jumpy. Looks completely normal thus far. No vote from me...
Farael: Why do I suspect him of developing an SPM-complex, of "Never having been a Wolf, so must be an Ordo"? He's a possibility for the random vote...
Anguirel: Typically a very keen player, one the Wolves should fear. I see no reason to think him anything but an innocent- save maybe that he's being a bit more helpful than he usually does on Day 1. Not enough reason to receive my random vote, that.
Eomer: With his wolfing record, he'd be a possibility for today even if I was Seering Partner with him. Definitely a possibility.
Gurthang: Been an innocent all the times I've played with him, but Gurthang does tend to attract suspicion. Too early to say...
the guy who be short: Don't trust anything this Guy says, unless he's given a clear bill of non-Wolfishness by a Seer- then listen to everything he says.
SamwiseGamgee: Never played with him before. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for today...

So, that leaves me with Kath, Tar-Ancalime, Cailín, Celuien, Naria, Lalaith, Garin, Farael, Eomer, Gurthang, and TGWBS- more than enough people to be going on with for a Day 1. No real suspicions here, just reasons ever so slightly better than the people crossed off the list.

I shall return.
