So... I read like a page and a half. Now have to go to a meeting, class, and work. Am grumpy about this fact. Would like to know what's in it for me if vote phantom for rep. Read more at work and hopefully make legitimate contribution.

As far as the Emperor's cat comment, I think it was a reference to me generally disliking cats and being allergic to them.

Greenie, in response to post #93- No, no, by all means, give it an effort. My cynicism is not meant to discourage effort. Rather I'm saying it's not proper to be too upset with those that try something a bit different on the first day, as that is exactly the time to do so. It serves a purpose and may turn out being a better vote than many cast at the deadline. By in large I'm saying that jumping on Sally and Lottie for their votes is far too easy, and ignoring the time in the game at which we stand and the various strategies that are viable at this stage. As someone else agreed with me earlier, it actually would not be a disaster to vote incorrectly at this point anyway, so it doesn't matter at all that the girls didn't have suspicions when they voted. Not to mention that suspicions will be weakest at this point anyway even were they allowed time to form. Also how would early suspicions form without early action provided by the votes that people are criticizing? No, votes aren't the only source of suspicion, but the other sources draw directly from votes (reactions to votes), and so votes can be said to be the ultimate source for nearly everything since much discussion is about votes. And then of course the late-day suspicions of "responsible" voters could well prove wrong (they're likely to in fact), so really what's the difference? People are making far too big a deal about something that isn't bad at all when you place it correctly in context. Anyway- I'm off for a bit.

 I was going to say wilwa and Nogrod's same proposals was a good idea. We should still probably stick to that. Give 2 votes to someone, making person a rep, and stop it at that. Phantom will just have 3 now, no reason to trash the reasonable proposal.

So I think I should slowly start deciding about my vote for the representative. Let me see...
Boro - okay, but slightly weird with some of his opinions, I don't like his radicalism so much. If I want an opponent for the phantom, Lommy, who has already one vote, is enough, and Boro said something like that he wanted to vote her, which is fine by me Celuien - not seen her around? Foley - looks sensible, looks innocent, unless she is really so sly as to fly under the radar, but somehow I can't imagine it very easily. Not sure if she wants to be a Rep, if it came to that, she could get my vote, on the other hand, if she is somewhat busy or whatever, not sure if she will have as much insight as for me to vote her. Glirdy - rather in the bacgkround. Actually, if somebody is under the radar, it is him. Might vote him for Rep just for the sake of that, to sort of bring him to the light, but then again, I'd prefer to vote somebody I trust more. Hmm... although... if I wanted to get more info about him... I'll think about it. Greenie - actually seemed reasonable, around and seeing into things; might be one option Izzy - very little to work with, though seemed sensible - might be one option if she shows more Kath - nothing Legate - that's me, that's me... Lommy - see Boro. I probably will not vote her myself, as I think also that quite likely somebody else might vote her (like Boro) and she already has one vote. Lottie - nope, she is a questionmark with the phantom-support and not seeming to be very much around anyway Mira - nothing to work with this far Nerwen - had posted some reasonable stuff in the beginning, has one vote already, might be an option, although I would probably prefer to read more from her before I'd do that Nog - with his somewhat lessened participation not sure if I want to entrust him with the task, although on the other hand, with what he kept saying about the SoEs not wanting to become elected, it would be interesting if he was one of them and... okay, but probably not voting him. I get very little reading on him (while, again, that might also be a reason to vote him...) Phantom - no. Said that before. Rune - nothing particular against, but there is still the "buttering up" possibility. I don't feel like voting him much. Sally - like Lottie, at most might be good for experiment, but not really wishing to vote her, especially if she is barely around. Shasta - hmm... actually no real knowledge this far... Steve - was he? Vanilwa - had a few good points, might be one of the candidates Zil - very random for voting, also see Glirdy. So there would be several options - will think of them and see also what happens here, if anything new that will help me decide.

Let's see tp being one of the many representatives where his power is like one sixth or seventh of the total - and that's it. Please. EDIT: x'd with Mira... *bangs head to the desk and cuts the power off from the computer frustrated*

So how is it... tp has two votes (enough) and Lommy and Nerwen have one each?
I have nothing against those three ending up as representatives. Basically I have nothing against more or less ayone becoming a representative at this stage of the game: it would be interesting to learn more about everyone. So for me it comes down to deciding whether to vote for someone I tend to trust a little, who is loud and enigmatic, who is very careful, who is hiding in the shadows... I think you will take care enough loudmouths get to be elected so I'll start a new trend then. ++ Izzy for representative She is very good and I always have hard times reading her. I'd like to see her contribute more, already at this stage of the game and not only when the numbers have dwindled. See you on the latter half of the Day. Be sure to elect enough representatives! X'd with Leg & Steve
