I just wanted to take the opportunity to explain my lack of participation... I was unable to get to the computer until late on Day 1, and only got home too near the deadline to contribute much, since I didn't really have time to go over the previous posts. I would normally not be a 'quiet' player, and if I had lived, I would have been much more active in subsequent days. I hope I won't be banned from WW for being so annoying.

No one has ever been banned from werewolf, and unless a mod specifies that his or her game is closed to public sign-ups, as Fea's game was, you're welcome to sign up for whatever game you please. I did not feel your participation to be annoying in any way.

People play at different levels...some, like Gil-Galad post briefly only once or twice a day, and others, like Thinlomien, post reams of thought and information once an hour at least.

Either approach is fine...

The only consideration I think a player should take into account before signing up for a game is whether he or she has time to be as loud a villager as he or she wishes to be.

I will be the first to apologise if you have taken any ill-feelings from my declaration of annoyance with your first post. I didn't like the way you popped in and just voted for the most talked of player at the time with nothing else. Afterwards you came up with your reasons and I was totally satisfied with them. And surely one has a right to just pop in and vote - and others have a right to dislike that gameplay-style (which you were not into as it turned out after I had reacted to your vote)...

But really. Don't take those things personally or anything. They are things people say in a game where they try to do something (helping the village or trying to bring it down against others with their own motives).

I have seen no bans on the WW. One case was near it, but it was more a question of abrasiveness to the fullest, not for inactivity or things like that which can be looked as preferences in style...

Yeah, Rikae, don't take it too seriously, it's just a game. Besides, I don't think anyone has anything against you or your playing style. (I've seen a lot more quiet and a lot more annoying - you even weren't annoying btw - villagers and they have never been banned.)

I'm flattered of being used as an example, but I really think I'm not that bad...

I figured the flood posting made up for actual regularity.

I'm back home so my votes will again be quite early.

EDIT: thus I won't post anything today anymore (most probably)

Do you know what I want to say? Do you? It's rude... Know now? It's in Balrogish... Now? No? Well... Zwei to you too!

I've just got my Valier-summary ready and was rather happy with it (having more "I told you. I told you! But you didn't believe me"s in it). I thought that the day would end an hour later, but it didn't, so Zwei! You won't see the summary anymore, luck
