Ok, since it's just me so far, here's what Brinniel and Groin have said, briefly summarized. This is just for my own reference, and I have been unbiased in recording this stuff.

Groin
Post #4: In-character introduction, nothing out of the ordinary
Post # 14: In-character, likes Noggy’s call to action, cautions that Noggy could be a wolf all the same. Remarks that Legate is quick to suspect
Post #57: Thinks Brinniel is a wolf for not expressing suspicion
Post 80: Gives thoughts on players—Thinlo has good insight, is helpful. McCaber is too quiet. Menel tries to dampen debate. Has no opinion on A Little Green so far. Is satisfied with Brinniel’s explanations, but still is going with his gut and saying she’s a wolf. Noggie is loud and helpful. I am a scapegoat, he is “uneasy” about my silence. Has no opinion on Might. Is uneasy with Legate, but thinks he’s a good guy. Valier trusts no one—a mark of an experienced player? Ka he finds difficult—plays the innocent one minute, suspects others the next.

Brinniel
Post #42: In character intro. Understands reasoning behind a first-day vote, but also thinks it’s not particularly useful. Points out that the wolves don’t know any more than the innocents, observes same-old same-old day 1 discussion.
Post 44: Does not dismiss the importance of Day 1s overall, but finds this particular one to be useless.
Post 67: Says she just hasn’t gotten around to expressing suspicion yet. Worries that people are going to get too caught up with what happened Day 1 and disregard important things that may come up later. Thinks Lommy is suspicious, giving only an appearance of being helpful. Wonders that if she happens to change her mind later on, people might find it suspicious.


I really don't want to base anything off the first day, since that was just an awkward little thing. I believe there was a lot of testing the waters going on from everyone, people just trying to get a feel for the group and for the setup--this is new and strange for everyone, after all.

However, here are my very early, preliminary, subject-to-change opinions.

Brinniel is reading as innocent. She's helpful and careful to explain herself. Gut instincts aren't worth much this early on in the game (ever?), but mine is saying she's innocent.

Groin, however, strikes me as odd (I know that may sound a bit hypocritical coming from me--my first day was spectacularly poor, even according to my own standards). It strikes me as odd that he criticizes both Legate and, later, Ka for expressing suspicion, but does so himself with very little to back it up. At the moment, I'm willing to chalk that up to him being new at this, and I'm more than willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
