Okay people, let's move like we've got a purpose.
(Cpl. Hicks in the movie Aliens)
I like to see Lommy's, Hookbill's and Brinniel's posts here. (I think it is far better to come and see five new posts since you left than seeing a 40-post long thread like I did in the morning.)
First, only in reaction to them, I have to say only that I quite agree with Lommy's post. To your concerns, Brinniel & Hookbill, I supposed I can bear the one-liners about Hookbill only as a funny, maybe a little rpg-ish chatter (since he hasn't even posted when it was spoken about), or at least I thought so. I think it'd be better to be careful not to start anything from nothing. This is/are a serious thread, right? Do you really seriously think they are accusing you, Hookbill? And Brinniel, do you really seriously suspect Hookbill of something because of this? If not, I think it'd be better not to even start with it, or at least, if it seems we decided not to be too much roleplayish this time (which is a shame, I think).
In general. Seems to me (only seems, I might be badly mistaken) many people assume too much here. I already said that about Mänwe, the same is with the Saucepan Man (see Lommy's post). Although I understand we need a good deal of people who are more forward, because otherwise we'll never move out of place, too many accusations won't help us, I think.
I think I now understand how important is that all people post, because otherwise there is nothing to learn. And who sits and says nothing, is likely a wolf (err, Faithful) - or in worse case, he is a villager (who is not worth anything for the community, if I say it very nastily). But the wolves also need to go around and make a mess by putting us on wrong track, thus, if everyone participates in the discussion, possibly "the one who speaks the loudest bears the banner of the Tree".
Mänwe seems generally most suspicious to me because of, as I mentioned, his ruthless behavior. Also for some unknown reason he seems "mixing apples with pears" (Roa with Nogrod). Perhaps I am completely ignorant, but while Nogrod might seem a little bit suspicious (but so far I put Nogrod under the cathegory "posts strange, but perhaps it's normal like that and there are more who post similar"), I don't see anything suspicious about Roa, and I don't know where some - namely Mänwe, the Saucepan Man and Garin - take that she seems suspicious.
Anyway, I tried to express my feelings on all the matters here, and this is just the best I can do for now. Hopefully, in time I'll learn how to walk in it better. I'll be back, but don't know when yet, but surely before the evening.
