Balogna or hogwash, I still think you're grasping at straws here and yes, I still do wonder why.
Gwath contradicting was the minor issue, the thought of his motives behind that contradiction were the major issue. Fullstop.
I'm going to end this debate on my half right here with that.

Indeed.
To other matters then, reading the thread forwards....
The fact that
Gil didn't vote for a representative (or actually post other than that short row with
Shasta) looks like he's an innocent. I suggest he should not be lynched. Had he a role he would have been a lot more engaged says my experience with him.
Hah, figure this:
Nogrod is saying we should leave a submarine alive on the first Days!
But really, he doesn't have a role and couldn't care less it seems. So let's not waste a vote on him as he will still count on the tables and if this game turns out bad in the later stages we will need him as a number on our side even if he didn't post...
Some people seem to keep on questioning the rationale behind my vote for
Boro as a rep so let me state this (once again
). On Day5 with a couple of wolves still around I would only vote as a representative those I really trusted the most were having the good of the village in their mind (unless there were some really special circumstances). But on these first Days the selection of the representatives is a different thing and it can be made a powerful tool to have a closer look on some people who wouldn't otherwise be forced to take responsibility and to make decisions - or to see how someone you suspect acts with power invested on her/him.
Remember that those decisions are the ones we can actually read afterwards when we're getting some solid information (eg. the first wolf dies, someone breaks a tie in favour of a known wolf in a suspicious manner, etc...). In this game only the representatives vote so we'll have a bunch of wolves there being just too happy not to be cast into the light of the scrutiny following from being a representative - or they could be forced to make decisions they'd rather not do.
I'm not saying
Boro is one of those who wishes to lurk in the shades. Hah, anything but that. But what I'm saying is that we should use the representative-roles also as a way of looking at how people behave and what kind of mark they leave during these first Days when we can afford it. Those decisions can be read afterwards when we have some real knowledge.
Yes, but he could get me lynched you say? Yes he could. But I do think we should be ready to make certain sacrifices if that would help the village win *. Although I must say that looking at
Boro's posting toDay looks better - and I have myself cooled down to be sure living some RL in between last night (RL) and this. So whatever way this turns out I think I made a good choice.
Nerwen's gigantic task of going through the discussion between myself and
Boro made me first think she was trying to be a bit too helpful without actually contributing anything (and morm actually commented on that as well) but then I realised that if I had time in my hands and were not a party to the debate I might have done the same thing... So I don't think we can actually make a point on that.
I find it interesting that
Boro backs
tp up with saying "killing
McCaber was not something
tp would do - and
tp says that killing
McCaber doesn't smell like
Boro... Paraphrasing
Ilya *consider some eyebrows raised*
I need to take a break now. I'll see if
Greenie or
Lommy wishes to post meanwhile.
* and winning that way would be beautiful indeed...
