Werewolf XLVIII: When Virtual Becomes Reality - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Early votes may be a bit harder to justify in general - I mean to give credible grounds for them - but I do not like the way either Form or Kit give their votes.

Form backs it twice: saying it's a random one and using IC reasons (I know he used to be the most staunch Day1-hater there was but still that is pretty much downgrading the whole Day 1). Kitanna feels like she tries and tries to find anything even remotely called a reason for her vote... just read her votepost and you may see what I mean. There is something forced in there to my eye.

That's not much I must say. If I'd need to guess I'd say Form is the hacker from the two, but the thing that I disagree with him so heavily over the usefulness of Day1's may cloud my vision here - and the fact that "just randomly" he voted for me...

I will be around later toDay a bit more and try to do something more constructive then. Gah. This has been pathetic from me (but sorry no time now).

Well Nogrod you have participated more than many already.

As for the votes - I found Nerwen annoying but I don't know if that is just the first day banter or something more sinister. It is such a change from her usual calm, almost calculating style that I find it hard to judge. Maybe she is just having fun.

Formys vote was ... interesting .. I know day one can produce random votes but this seemed to have more to it ... is there some vendetta that I haven't noticed? I do remember Formy used to hate Day ones - I was thinking of him in my previous post.

And there are still a lot of people who I haven't even looked at really..... and it is a bit quieter than I expected - even from those who aren't mourning their separation from my fair homeland

. I hope there might be a bit more to look at before I too have to vote and go....

Forced? If you believe so. But I would rather vote for one who raised my suspicions for even a remote reason on Day 1, then randomly pick a name from a hat.
