For posterity...I actually do put stock in my comment to Agan, otherwise I wouldn't have said it. The "It's D1 and mostly silliness" was me trying to anticipate the normal Day 1 response. "Oh it's D1 and people are acting loony, wouldn't YOU vote the same if you didn't have any good ideas?"

So, yes, in sincerity I do suspect Agan...rather strongly too I might add. "If I had to vote right now, I'd be willing to go for one of those who have been posting mock votes," is a part of it, but not all. I'm waiting to see if anyone else caught the classic BN trick that Agan has attempted in her first post.

Well, (s)he(?) has said Nate was acceptable. What else is there? Rock (granate=granite)?

People use them for different reasons. I would say some among us are probably naturally irrepressible (*glances about*), and just can't help themselves.
Others could utilize them as filler in lieu of substance, though.

I'm actually all right with Agan, though she did call me "pompous". What can I say? We must all play with our strengths.
Seriously though, I didn't get any alarm bells from that.

I noticed no BN trick, and I found her post half-joking. Who would legitimately suspect a person for this:

Quote:
Bom. Chaotic Evil doesn't sit well with defending the Realm of Men from the threat of Mordor.
Or this:

Quote:
Boromir88. Puts a personal grudge ahead of giving Pithwivion a respectable burial.
???

And you say you strongly suspect her... what's there to suspect for? I understand the mock vote accusation, but what BN/wolf trick? I don't even see her accusations being too serious!


Edit: xed with Agan herself. (I wrote this post and then left the computer for about 10 minutes before clicking the post button. )
