and yes i admit i messed up with the voting, my bad.

i had a feeling this was going to be a bad idea... maybe i should just step out of the game now before it becomes too late.

Don't step out! Just make sure to read the rules.

Edit: And I never called you an idiot...

i have never read the rules in any WW game,like i said i just wing it and learn from my mistakes.

the last thing i want is to insult people, and if i am inadvertently doing that and i don't realize it, then i must excuse myself from the rest of the game.

EDIT: the whole "its underlined" part makes me feel like you are calling me an idiot and thats what made me go more defensive, so to say.

It was my first game! It left an impression!

I was only pointing out the contradiction. I apologize if I made it seem like I was insulting your intelligence.

*applauds*

I'm thoroughly enjoying the Gil-Shasta double-act. Pure comedy gold.

EDIT" x'd with Rune.

Agan - thanks for clearing the Lommy thing up, it makes more sense now. The response doesn't look like the most innocent Lommy, though I still don't go so far as to suspect her because of that.

The Shasta-Gil-affair is quite weird, like arguing about nothing in particular. Relax, guys.


EDIT: x-ed with Runne and Nerwen

Oh my goodness what a read!

But I did it! And it only took something like 1½ hours...

So I'm updated at last. It will now take a cigarette and a glass of wine but I'm back pretty soon.

It's not in vain that democracy has been called the most civil form of government! Just look at the civility with which thoughts are exchanged here. And those who tend to go after each other in every game smile and say they tend to trust each other - and all the lists are full of people whom the posters feel innocentish and in the extreme occasion they only would like to hear more from some...

Okay. It's not that, but this game really is different. After we have used 24 hours thinking whom we trust we seem to have stayed the course and I'm seeing far less actual suspicion than I would have wanted to see at this hour.


Staying with the general issues for a moment still before going actually back to check some ideas on people that the read araised (and possibly starting to suspect someone openly?) I'd like to comment on the issue of choosing the delegates & reading the intentions behind those choices, which subject aroused some discussion earlier toDay.

First of all I wouldn't get troubled by the line up of our representative body toDay even if it consists mainly of some quite battle-hardenend independent-minded loudmouths. I would have been surprised were it any other way on this Day1. But as Days and Nights pass many of us get lynched or killed, some start to suspect one and someone else starts to suspect another etc. So the representatives will change and many people are brought forwards to bear the burden of responsibilty and looking-glass scrutiny the following Day on their turn.

That brings me to my second point. Someone said (Lommy it was?) that voting for someone as a representative would be nice buttering up, done by a wolf that is. Some might actually think so as trust feels good every time. But I'm not so sure how great a favour that will be. I'd be even more inclined to think that the best buddying up of a villager would be to call her/him "trustworthy" or "speaking sense" or "having great points" - and not vote her/him to be a representative.

Btw. the reason I'm getting an innocent feel from both Di and Rune is their apparent eagerness to make it to be a representative.

Thirdly about the eagerness of wolves to make it to being a representative which many here have taken for granted. I must say I'm not so convinced about it. Well, some might really wish for that as wolves just for the fun of it - and sure later it might be very important for the wolves to have their say in critical votes by the representatives. But on Day1 in a village this undecided?

Someone wondered why I proposed some quieter ones as representatives as going against my usual way of playing. Lommy already answered that (I wish to get the quieter people talking and taking responsibility and stop hiding in the shadows - or I wish to see more of the players I've not played before like the case with Ilya).

But I couldn't imagine trying someone out of the blue as my representative on Day5 just to see her/him perform. Or at least that would require some exceptional circumstances.

All in all this game is different so not all age-old and proven ways of thinking apply.

Turned out I'm busier than I thought I'd be. But I'm here now and I'm slowly catching up on the last couple pages. After my first skim it's good to see some extra villagers are joining the fray.

As far as the comments regarding "The Terrifying Triangle of Doom!" (aka the Boro-Phan-Leg Triangle) I'm not sure what to say. Boro and I interacting is pretty standard.

Legate's 180 might have been planned, maybe not. But I'm not sure anything can be taken from it.

And as far as my selection of Legate for Rep, it was rather simple. Though I don't trust him (and I said that well before I picked him), I know I can count on him to be around and give me something to go on. In addition I did not want votes to be wasted and thus desired to give my vote to someone who already had a vote.

I couldn't vote for myself. Agan hadn't shown much and looked busy, so I wasn't going to pick her. I didn't have a read yet on Green, and wasn't sure I'd even get one from her on Day 1. I thought of Lommy as my pick, but I didn't trust her not to use my vote and stab me in the back with it.

Who is left? Legate. And the fact that he had given his vote to me made him an even more obvious choice.

But now I'm off to read more carefully. I'll begin more posts after lunch.

Be ashamed! Bribe-taker!
