I cross-posted with Menel just now


HUH???? Why are you concern now what McCaber and Nogrod had to say? It is just us three in this battle.

Oh, sorry. I guess we can only choose between the three of us, then? Well, in that case I'll go back and read what you've both had to say thus far, not that I think it likely that the early game chat will reveal much.

Hellllooooo(echoes) sure is quiet with three people. Guess I got to make up the talking for us, for now. It seems as well that Legate you are asleep for most of the time that I am on, and Menel I'm not sure of his schedule.

I've read through the posts from yesterday, and frankly there isn't much to go on. Menel mostly said how useless yesterday was and not much else. Legate had his hand in everything having posted a large amount of times. Quite helpful. Menel not so much so..

This is hard to make a decision with nothing to go on.
Menel do you have anything to say or add to the mix? You need to prove us with something about what you are thinking.

I'm going to see if there are some things I can ask you guys that may help me choose. Back to reading. If I don't get back on tonight I will for sure be on tomorrow for hours before deadline.

Just reading through before bed and this caught my eye.

Makes me think he is saying" Don't look at the quiet ones as wolves look to the loud ones." which is perfect if he in fact is a quiet wolf, hoping to slip through.

*Taps foot*


having a conversation with myself is a little strange....hope to have something to read when I get up.

Well yes, I think these Days will be somewhat monologic at certain times... anyway, from now on, I will be mostly around till DL, so no worry.

What to think now? Thank you both for answering my questions, anyway. What I collected is that Menel obviously did not read what was posted before, which only makes sense. I was referring to the fact that in your first post, you said:

While Nogrod before (and me as well, and others) discussed, and indeed, even "pushed" already the idea of people voting.

That of course does not move us anywhere, as this makes perfect sense and in Menel's case, basing suspicions on the fact that he does not read what others said won't be adequate. One could maybe think a Wolf Menel will be more careful and read the thread first. But if he were a Wolf and actually believed in what he said yesterDay (which I don't have problem with believing he does), he as well may not have read the thread carefully. Hm.

Now Valier, yes, what you said also answers my question. Valier... however good overall her posts may seem to me, there are a few things that make me wary.

For example, why to say this? One idea I got was that it could say "Menel, look, Legate is doing a suspicious thing. - But Legate, of course, noo, I am not suspecting you." Actually, on more points Valier is flip-floppy in the way of "come-bite-back away". Hm.

So, I am leaving now (again) for a shorter time, I'll be back in about four hours, and then I'll be around for the rest of the Day to immediately react to both of you if you appear. Later...

A few thoughts for the Day:

-Valier hasn't posted enough for me to really get a handle on what she thinks.

-Legate was behaving rather strangely earlier. He throws his support behind Nogrod's voting idea, with good arguments to match... and then attacks Nogrod for trying to be too helpful, without posting a lot of reasoning for his choice beyond that. This doesn't look good.

Of the two, I'd be more inclined to suspect Legate, but I'd rather hear more from Valier first.

Not quite sure what your getting at...My reason for that comment is simple. I am normally not so talkative and would question someone who questions me. But today is different, I must talk. There is no one else that I can sit back read and analyze like I normally do. I always have a difficult time expressing what I think and feel, so this time I was writing what I was thinking at the time, hoping this would give more insight as to how I think and feel. This could be seen as flip-floppy, but there is always a way to see the good points and bad points of a person. My mind at the moment IS a little flip-floppy.

Menel, what else do you want of me? I think I have posted at least a wee bit, giving something to think about. Your posts are not helping. Why do you think Legate is more suspicious? Legate where do you stand?
