I had to get up early on a weekend... *grumbles*

I'm not sure why Legate finds me so unpleasant, but I'm getting a little tired of comments of this sort in every game, I must say. Oh well...

It seems to me that people are misinterpreting Macalaure's behavior - if I understand it correctly (as I think I now do), he was basically trying to stir the proverbial pot. Am I correct in thinking, Mac, that you didn't intend the content of your conversation-starter to be misleading, but rather were looking for wolvish behavior of hovering around the edges of a debate?
That's a noble endeavor, and one that does run the risk of attracting dangerous attention to oneself - my opinion at this point is that Macalaure is innocent as a little lamb.
As I'm confident in my assessment of Macalaure, the misrepresentation of his stance I see from Nerwen is alarming. For example:

Quote:
if your idea was to encourage the wolves to act silly, and to go after anyone who was being helpful (thus revealing themselves),
I also don't feel too comfortable with this:
Quote:
Mac will probably jump on me now, and announce that I'm obviously trying to distance myself from my wolf-colleagues.
This is just too defensive and self-conscious. I daresay it's not the sort of thing that innocents usually come up with.
Aganzir is troubling as well, as she seems to be putting words in Mac's mouth.

What else? I don't find Menel suspicious, though he certainly makes it difficult with his single-minded and poorly-supported attacks on me. Still, that's like him, which, I fear, is why he tends to be lynched early on so often - giving flimsy reasons for his suspicions. From someone else it would be worrisome, but not from Menel.

Shasta - well, I'm tempted to vote for him simply because "I'm not going to be helpful and you can't make me... lalala" attitude (my interpretation) is downright annoying. No one likes day ones, but making an effort is, to my mind anyway, a responsibility to one's fellow players (even if they call you unpleasant... .) Still, I don't think it's necessarily wolfish behavior (and if he is a wolf, he can hardly use the same excuse toMorrow), and I wouldn't like to waste my vote.

Nogrod, I have to disagree that Greenie's comment about Sally was clearly a joke. The line in which she says it seems perfectly serious - I'm perfectly capable of following a serious suspicion with a joke, so I assumed Greenie was as well. After all, if there was nothing serious in her post, it would be decidedly unhelpful, so I assumed she was using the in-character stuff as a vehicle to voice a few suspicions.

Well, that's all for now, I guess... I'm leaning toward casting my vote for Nerwen at the moment, or possibly Aganzir.
