I had planned on being around more on Day 1 but there was the meeting I forgot about plus work is killing me now. I'm not sure when but I am likely to have a funeral for my uncle in the next few days. He's in the hosptial and will likely pass away tonight. I was not overly close to him but I will still be attending any services when they are planned.

Now, I just got home from work and after a little dinner I hope to catch up and post a bit more.

McCaber, pops-in, pops-out, says a couple things and leaves, but I think that makes him extremely effective, as a wolf or innocent. From what I've gathered, he works well off others ideas, and I would not take his short few posts as carelessness. I think he carefully reads through everything, and since there isn't much more to add, just writes a couple thoughts about people. Last time I horribly took how "correct" he was about everything, as him obviously being a wolf, because he seemed to just know too much, and I had to give myself a paper-cut and pour lemon juice on it I was so wrong.

Anyway, where I'm trying to get at with McCaber, is his style makes him a wolf who can go unnoticed. But also a very dangerous foe versus the wolves, because of the quiet, almost un-threatening, yet sound judgement when he's innocent. Would you mind if I nickname you the silent assasin McCaber?

I'm not sure what to think about Kath yet. She seems to be playing rather uncommiting, and safe, but that's usually what I say about her. The biggest thing that troubled me was her question of what the reps expected from the non-reps. On the surface it seems like an innocent question from somebody who is looking to help out, and give some thoughts. On the other hand, it's kind of strange coming from Kath, I know this is a new situation and all, but it looks like she's not wanting to give up too much information. I mean really what do we expect from any innocent villager? Maybe it also has something to do with she did recently figure out non-reps could post during the 2nd part of the day.

Gwath, I really think too much is being made out of his vote for Nogrod as a representative. The whole argument really doesn't make sense, maybe someone can explain it here. But, since Gwath gave the reason of choosing Nogrod, because he believed Nogrod would keep the quiet players on their toes, and since Gwath would fall into this category of "quiet" players so far, that makes him look suspicious? Sorry, but am I reading things correctly?

Edit: crossed with Ilya and morm

I guess the question is, would it be a wise choice to lynch a representative? I agree with Lommy's generalization that there is at least one wolf amongst the reps, simply going by statistics that is actually a certainty. However, is that a route we want to take?

Alright, so I hope to hear more from Ilya
I hope to oblige.

It would set a precedent, but honestly one I'm not alarmed about, because, as you say, it's very likely that there's a wolf among the reps. It counters my initial fear that wolves could gain immunity simply by becoming reps. The way I've approached repping is that I should vote for whoever I'm most suspicious of, period. It doesn't say much about our village's body politic if reps are lynching each other, but it also doesn't create another subdivision among the villagers.

Right now I think Legate's posting is very lengthy damage control, and Eonwe hasn't given me enough to make me suspicious enough to cast a vote, nor has Gwath, and the argument for voting for him seemed a bit Smerdyakov-like, since I seem to be going with the Russians today. Agan backed off of Lommy in a way that parroted what a lot of other people said. Dunno what I think about that.
