Wonderful, isn't it? All this fear, paranoia and loathing. It is the the sweetest entertainment. Reminds me of the old poetry, it does...

But if we want to get down to business:

Behaviour. Patterns. Tone. Utilise them.

Roa and Boro have the right idea and I think them the wisest among us at the moment.

To make something else happen:

Kitanna is a vampire. I am very suspicious of what she has done.

(By the way, are the numbers of votes given in the next day? Because that would surely give us a huge advantage.)

Lomiella emerged from a more distant part of the cave, combing her long, black hair with her fingers and yawning. "I needed sleep after such horrible events... I hope you excuse me." She flashed her eyelashes and settled among the others, straightening her yellow skirt.

I, too, agree with SPM's suggestion. It will put nice pressure on the baddies and will give us something to go on. It's very sensible. Then we just have to take care that we remember to both vote here and send the vote to our mod - (I know I could make the mistake and forget actual voting since I'd already have voted once. ) We must be careful not to make these mistakes since that might cause fatal errors in the data.

I don't see what this mess about Rikae is. I think she seems pretty normal and bantery. Noggie and Gil seem to be allied against her, and I find it very weird.

Lomiella gets up and casts a pretty smile - with fluttery eyelashes of course - to all the other people gathered around the fire. "Ill take a little stroll around the cave and think more about things. I'll be back."

Mac has a knife again now. He examines it gleefully and then hides it with and evil smirk on his face.

Anyway, please, don't be suspicious of Rikae for flirting with me, I'd make me feel guilty.
The thing that does make me suspicious of her, however, is that she does little else than flirting, in-character things, self-defense and a flimsy case against Nogrod and Gil.

Which can be a huge benefit to us as we now know someone in that group couldn't vote and therefor is a vampire.
If we do get the exact number, it will be even better if the figures are correct! I mean, that would be a lot of known innocents all at once, wouldn't it? (though the semi-innocent shade might be among them)


So far, there has been a lot in-character stuff. It's all nice and funny, sure, but come on...

A lot of vague and baseless accusations there have been, too, but that's how Day Ones are, and better have them vague and baseless than have no accusations at all. Of course the chances to catch a vampire toDay are slim and those to kill and innocent are high, but that's how it works. It's a slim chance, but it's the only one we have.


Talking of vague and baseless accusations, here are mine now:


Boro has already said it, and I agree: Legate is being too nice for my liking, too.

It seems like everybody (but Six) is approving the idea, but this approval here somehow sounds like it has been said with a little reluctance. I'm probably interpreting too much, but it looks to me like she's agreeing and sowing a seed of doubt at the same time.
In her later post Brinn takes a clearer stance, but still.

I'm also perceiving some strange karma from Meneltarmacil.

Rikae emerges from the shadows, carrying a large pillow. She places it on top of the broken pillar and sits down again.

"I think Eomer has a good point about Kitanna. I can't quite believe she would honestly make the mistake of thinking the gifteds were on the vampires' side. I would be interested in hearing more from her.
And as for you, Mac, I ought to suspect you for claiming I made a case against Nogrod when I did not.

As I recall, I said I didn't trust Esspiem and Gil. In retrospect, though, since Esspiem had self-defense to think of and Gil is almost always suspicious; Menel's reaction worried me more. I admit, I made a mistake in my response, translating "accusing people based on in-character bantering is suspicious" to "Gil is suspicious" in my mind, simply because that's what Gil did when he called me "very suspicious" for "suspecting two people" (Mac and Esspiem.)

I might seem to be harping on this too much, but I didn't respond for self-defense so much as to point out that Menel is not making sense here.

I have cast my vote for Kitanna. On reflection, it was rather odd to think that the vampire-seer/ranger/hunter were additional roles.

And now, I must be off to wander the streets of the village.

Well, I just sent in my vote for Rikae, and that should be all for toDay.

I think that, for clarity's sake, we all should vote like we normally do. So in order to find these two again later:

Celuien: ++Kitanna

Menel: ++Rikae

On Kitanna

I understood that she was referring to the vampire-gifteds not to some additional gifteds that are on the vampire's side, yet everybody else seems to be interpreting her words the other way... Is there some problem with my interpretation (as my English is, regrettably, slightly faulty) or are some people jumping on weird conclusions?

I've just had a last-minute change of heart. I was going to vote for Rikae, but reading over the posts, decided it better if we left her alone for a while. I am, however, afraid that Day 2 we might forget about her comments here.

The person I have decided to vote for is Gil. As I said, for me at least he is very indescernable, and it is Day 1 after all. We may as well have a shot in the dark than take out a potentially valuable innocent like Nogrod or Rikae.

Hell, I don't know how to act on Day 1. Last game we got a wolf Day 1 and it was wierd after that.

Sorry guys but that was my last post for the Day. Looking forward to the bloodbath that will follow with so many gifteds and vampires. Back in the next 10 hours or so.
