Wow. I've attracted 1 vote per post so far...wonder if I can keep it up...

Roa, just out of interest, why did you narrow down your voting list to Boro, Gil and Rikae? Because they've posted more than most?

I'm going to have to resist my habitual urge to humble the loud and the proud, as it caused some disastrous consequences recently. I may even have to give up my passion for duelling in Werewolf. So sad.

Celuien m'dear, don't be defeatist; I've often seen Day 1s bag villains by hook, crook or sheer blind chance. With retractable votes I hope this village will be able to react more quickly to trends. I suggest that everyone does their best to be present near the deadline with at least one vote in their quiver.

Lal suggests I was "taken along by Gil's triple-bluff logic". I don't think this was the case, though I know she meant it more or less in my defence. I was simply commenting on an undoubtedly interesting situation, and didn't make much of it, I must admit.

I see a general mood against Boro in the air; Rikae feels his behaviour is out of its norm. I don't see that that's the case. Forthright, trenchant, slightly abrasive, it all seems to be there.

I agree with Macalaure that discussing the poll, the swords, the Eagles or whatever won't yet help that much. Some people know what it means; at this early stage, I suppose they should be left to get on with it, though pooling resources might help later.
