I thought you wanted some fun. Anyway, if I was to take this seriously, I would say that this would be an easy way for you to disguise your views and opinions of people. But I don't

Ok- It's votin' time!

Well, this is a very unproductive day.

I'm was thinking of voting Nogrod- he seems very reasonable and is talking a lot of sense (but maybe trying to be too helpful). He would have gotten my vote but for his time constraints. And now it seems if I do vote for him then he becomes a rep. So, I won't force it on him.

Then there is Ilya, but I don't really know her well enough yet, though she seems innocent enough.

Then there's Greenie. I just feel good vibes from her post, and she seems innocent, and also seems to be looking at things similarly to me. But then she voted Brinniel, which I wouldn't do. What the heck...

Good. Freaking. Gravy. I'm at work for only a few hours and....wow.

*goes to catch up*



Telling you all now that toDay I'm going to be extremely scarce. So on the off chance someone wanted me to be a rep (not likely, but still) don't do it. I'm going to have enough trouble keeping up as it is, at least tonight.

Ilya looks like she'll be around and will give opinions, so I don't mind that selection at all. I hope to get to know her better via her status as Rep.

And I agree with Gwath's nomination. On Day 1 I can hardly expect Nog to pick accurately, but I do expect that he will use good standards for voting.

I should probably vote now, just on the off chance that rehearsal runs long. So without further ado...

Really? And what would you consider productive (than five pages)? And that says the one who gives two one-liners and then votes.

And this I call kind of an alibism, of sorts. But okay. Well, I am really raising my eyebrows at this post.

And now finally goodnight.

I really want to go to sleep in an hour.

Could you Eönwë answer to my questions before that since you are one I'm considering.

I'll go, have something to eat and take a shower. Back soonishly.

Another list, to help me get my thoughts in order and to see just who I want to go back and look at since I haven't had time.

Aganzir - No alarms, I'm glad to see she's here today.
Boromir88 - Seems sensible.
Brinniel - Still innocent.
Diamond18 - Where is she?
Eönwë - No read.
Gil-Galad - No read.
Greenie - Not much of a read, but what I've seen of her so far I think innocent.
Gwathagor - No read.
Ilya - No read.
Legate - He's pinging my alarms a bit.
Lommy - She and Agan seem like our brawling innocents.
Kath - Seems helpful, but in the shadows. I'd like to hear more.
McCaber - No read - hardly surprising. Pops in with a comment and pops out again.
mormegil - Seems sensible.
Nerwen - Still innocent.
Nogrod - Probably innocent.
Rune - Seems sensible.
Sally - No read.
Shasta - Obviously a wolf.
The Ka - Ka is one I'd like to go back and look at.
the phantom - Obviously a... well... hmm. I think he seems innocent-ish, but you never can tell with this guy.

Hmm... And yet again there's a Lommy-Aganzir thing going on. The last time I saw something like this there turned out to be something to it. Let us hope it isn't a waste of time in this village either.

That said I almost wish we could keep them both around and let them continue gunning, for I believe that will help us get a feel for them after the day is done and we can go back and read the posts without time constraints.

At this point I'm thinking I may have to vote more on principle than feeling. I haven't gotten to read as much as I had hoped. Schedules don't always go as planned.

I'm back.

I don't think I will vote Lommy today. It was after all just a few things that made me suspect her in the first place (which is not enough to make me lynch her on day 1 twice in a row), and her replies to me seem genuinely frustrated in an innocentish way. I'm still suspicious of her but I rather give her the benefit of doubt for now.

I wouldn't like to vote Eönwë before he has answered my questions, which I hope he will do before I leave.

Legate might be one option, but I feel uneasy with how many people have expressed suspicion on him since I myself don't feel there are that good reasons for it.

Nothing's changed on my No idea list, so basically those three are my option.

I trust Shasta more now but I have a slightly uncomfortable feeling about him anyway.

edit: xed with phantom and Eönwë

Shasta, may I ask what's your motive in pointing out a Legate-phantom-Boro triangle? I'll give you the jovialness with the phantom, but I'm not sure how I've been friendly towards Legate; considering I said he rang me suspicious alarm and I have yet to recant that statement.

Quote:
I'm just wondering why you tp and Boro are so much against some risks or tests on Day1 in this kind of a game?~Nogrod
Either just by random innocencentness or through wolvish intent, a wolf will end up a representative at some time during this game, so why help them out? I like being risky, but it better have a big pay off. I don't see a big reward in handing a suspected wolf a right to vote. As I said, this is our advantage, a chance for wolves not to muddy-up the voting tally, we should use it. If I can help it, I would not like to give the wolves voting power.

On morm...Nothing stands out about a guilt or innocence. He was involved early, talked about devising a plan, which I know morm loves organization, and definitely off-the-wall plans. He was an early possibility as a representative, but now is out of the race, due to his business/lack of time.

On Nogrod...it struck me odd at first why he wants to advocate the less-loud villagers as representatives, considering he usually goes after them. But, now it looks like an attempt to get more involvement out of the quieter ones. I just don't think it's going to work, because I don't think being a rep will change anyone's style. Also, if Nogrod can not be a representative, it could be an attempt to keep the power out of people who could potentially be dangerous for a wolf-Nogrod. What is Nogrod really up to? Care to answer?

I feel good about Ilya, but I'm going to run back over Lommy's post. I have this strange churn in my stomach about her, and maybe that's just because several people feel she's looking innocent.

Hmm. Perhaps it's more of an angle, with Phantom at the center. I just latched on to Lommy's phrase because I saw the same thing she did.

Wolves will lay low, stay out of things to let innocents lynch innocents, or they will attempt to get rep votes by sounding reasonable? Which one is it Lommy?

Latched on to Lommy? Oddly enough that makes me feel you're innocentish.

This post doesn't mean much, I just want the vicarious thrill of posting in the middle of rehearsal, watching The Odd Couple.

*stops reading long enough to roll her eyes*


Gah. Some initial vibes from what I've seen. Mind you, spur of the moment, gut stuff, most of it kind of silly, so if I read things again I may change my mind. [/sleepy disclaimers]


Phantom: needs to shut his gob. I'm trying to decide if his questions are really to get more *cough* unnecessary *cough* information or if he's just being talkative to be a distraction. But he's always like this. *sigh*
Shasta: he's psychic?!?!?!?!?!?!? *covers head in tinfoil*
Legate: seems fairly sensible and help out-ish.
Boro:
Nog:
Eon: See the post where he says (I believe) that the discussion so far is pointless. This strikes me as very odd. We have to do our best on the first day (not that I like them either) and no discussion is pointless/unhelpful in the wolf-catching effort. Especially in a village this size, the more people talk the more we have to use to evaluate them.
Morm: Monkey with a gun. Yipes. But for some reason my Morm sensor is NEVER right. Ridiculous, really. I think he's innocent, so he must be guilty.
Cabbie:
Gwath:
Brinn:
Ilya: Haven't played with her before, but she strikes me as almost too innocent. Then again, I'm paranoid. WHY ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT ME?!?!??
Kath:
Ka: cute little posts (at least the ones I've read so far) and fairly friendly. Which isn't to say that Ka's not always friendly, or that wolves have to be rude, but she seems legit, at least for now.
Greenie: Sneaky little minx. Is she a wolf in this game? I'll let you know, but for now I don't think so.
Agan: always a wolf. Always.
Di:
Nerwen:
Fea: is the den mother. obviously. I mean, how hard is it to see, people? She's obviously evil! *runs off flailing* hehe

If there's nothing by your name I think nothing of you. (Take that how you like heh. Kidding, kidding.) Off to term paper world.


EDIT: x'd with two Shasta's. Odd Couple. Oooo....

Sally seems okay thus far. Boro still hasn't set off an alarm. So far so good.

My Brin and Green read-through will have to wait though. I have a task that I must complete in RL.

And I just realized that there is no rush anyway, because we still have another day of Day 1 left to us. All that I need to be sure and do is vote for a Rep, and I'll certainly get that in before the deadline.

In case there was confusion, I thought I should point out, just for the sake of it, that there will be no intermission between parts one and two of the Days. Just keep on playing through Deadline, but know that you'll be no longer allowed to vote for Reps and that your choices are in their hands for the rest of the day. Is that clear?
