We thought in the the beginning, that we're only in it for the money, but behold what has happened... Hungry freaks, Daddy!

But to the bussiness.

I see some countering threads of discussion here which both seem to have their justification. If we talk of tactics on Day1 it surely gives a hiding place for the wolves toDay but then again it binds their hands on days to come! If they say something toDay and act differently on the Days to come, we will see it! I mean, any way the wind blows, there are signs of consistency and signs of playing the opportunistic way. These can be seen! The forefathers of our band have seen this all too clearly when they have been forced to go with the dark side, you know, the son of the monster magnet & stuff. Remember: the one who has lied is bound to stay consistent with the lie and the situations may turn very nasty with the liar if s/he wishes to sustain her/his believability. We can observe all this...

So there are more pro's than con's with having a public debate of our conduct, but I think the good outweight the bad. Partly because of the following.

Laying low, or just hunkering down, does not help anyone with a pure soul. Anyone can do that: just post a bit of nonsense or wail the fate of Sleepy and then fall silent.

It might help those who are not interested in the common good but only for themselves (see the citation of Franklin by Folwren above) or the wolves! Who would vote someone on the basis of a little meaningless message on the first Day? No one! We all think there are so many better reasons to lynch someone else (mainly a good-willing innocent who has tried to make a difference by making some actual points). That's just the way the wolves would like it to be and within which they would like to hide themselves...

Yeah, I have said this a many times, but I think I need to recapitulate it here. No, I don't think all the baddies are silent. Not at all! I've seen many a loud and dominating wolves in my family's history. I think the Seer should check them (there may be games when the Seer should take on with other tactics, depending of the personality of the Seer and the way the discussion is bent to, but as a general rule I think this holds) .

What I want to say is that the silence is the best hiding place for a wolf during the first Days and the best excuse for the wolves going after a loud innocent who could be of help later... The dynamics of the game are different on the first Days with little to go for than on the subsequent ones when there is something to take hold on!

So at least my band will concentrate toDay with all those Wovie Zowies that try to slip comfortably under the radar - and to the slips they might make.

That makes me to look at both Durelin and Glirdan more close so far. But surely it's early and lots of things will happen before the deadline.

But now we'll have to go and practise for awhile, because our band leader doesn't like it if we do nor reach his requirements. There's trouble every day with him...
