But if she says something you find clever and can agree about, I think you shouldn't say she isn't doing anything.

I am planning to vote in an hour since I would love to get to sleep a bit earlier than during the last few days, and if I had to vote now it'd probably be for Sixth.

True, true.

edit: WAIT A SECOND! I said she wasn't doing anything useful, not that she wasn't doing anything. You're twisting my words Aganzir. Sounds like wolfish behaviour to me.

Dodgy post, y'know? Complete over-reaction.

Also, Mithalwen, you may think Sally is being opportunistic, with her vote for 6th, but I could equally well say it about you. Whatever Sally had it was gonna be weak, and this is another chance for you to step in with a righteous comment. She's taken the position of early-voter-with-bad-reason and you've matched her in becoming critic-of-early-voter.

Two sides, same coin.

Maybe I did slightly over-react. But after sorta-agreeing with Agan, I realised that that was not exactly what I said. To me the meanings do make a difference... I'm sure Sixth will explain (if he survives).

x-ed with everyone since... aah! Noggie.

Haa I didn't even notice this before Eomer posted the quote.
To me "do something" and "do something useful" are practically the same thing so I wasn't even trying to twist your words. Maybe I just don't think idiomatically enough.

Hello! I'm here for a little bit! Maybe even til the deadline, it depends. Would someone mind posting a voting tally if there have been any votes so I can see what's going on while I start to read through?

My dad went asleep and I seem to have what... 1½ hours to do something useful. Okay. I'll start with having a cigarette (gah, there goes the mod-status ).

I still have my faith on Day 1's being possibly productive and I'm not going to give it up just because of one Day1 when I have not had a chance to do any thinking beside the PC. *fits the IC-situation as well! *

Sorry I'm late, I didn't realize the day was starting (I was reading HoME for the 16th time).

The Elf-Warrior just seems evil to me, although I couldn't quite explain it - a sort of nervous, tense vibe, much like Maglor's wife observed in Legolas after he swallowed his own hand and turned into a werewolf.

How do you figure? I didn't have that impression at all. Nilp and Form, in particular, have really given nothing to go on game-wise, so why latch on to them? (Not that giving nothing to go on will be perfectly fine as the game continues).

I'll second Nogrod on Kitanna's vote being eyebrow-raising. It is overly self-conscious, somehow.

I was wondering when you'd immediately add me to the evil list. Tisk, tisk, Aganzir you're growing a bit forgetful. Or is it just because you remembered you'll never let poor Radagast rest?
I know I have serious traumas and I'm working on them, I really am! But this time only your role tempted me to do that.

I think the tone is somehow apologetic or over-explanatory. But I'm not too concerned about her because her posting looks more innocentish otherwise.

Have you been reading some fanfic of your own writing?

There's something that is bugging me about Rikae right now. Today seems to be one of those days I can't find proper reasons for my thoughts, but something makes me uneasy. I don't know... She looks like she was weaving a complicated web with truth and lies shattered all around. That's the best I can explain the feeling.
Or making shoes.

I assume you were asking this from me, but I'll answer even if you weren't.
He had one IC joke in his first (and only) post, and then he accused Nerwen, half-jokingly and also with IC reasons. Wolves often throw random suspicion around and wait for someone to carry it on. That's why I'm also suspicious of Nerwen.
Out of those who have posted little and mostly in character, he's the most suspicious.

That's one thing they do. But the thing I've found them doing more often is waiting for any decent or half-decent suspicions to raise up and then go for it - stronger or milder eg. trying to turn it into a major suspicion or just going with the flow and getting an excuse for their vote.

Looking things from this anlgle would point at least to Eönwë and Kitanna and little less on The Sixth. Both Eönwë and Kitanna had only picked up the talk of the town and managed to include all three in their suspicions (Nilp / Form / Nerwen). I do understand what you people (Boro and Agan) see as innocentish in Kit - I see it as well and am thence a bit worried about voting for her. But I do also see her over-consciousness or carefulness or whatever you'd call it. Also her answer to my quite slight note on that caused a kind of stiff reaction I didn't like.

Ah, I missed that statement about Nerwen, Mith, which was in the post previous to the one I was paraphrasing (#63 was the one I talked about).

Too bad Shasta and Eomer can't just duel and get a few things out of the way.

(Edited because I figured I should really mention who my first statement was directed to!)

Why Sixth? I know he has only posted once but he wasn't entirely IC?

Formendacil's vote is still niggling me a bit ..... and he was very pompous and used eucatastrophe twice.... that word - I never really understand it .... but he was first up. Could be most annoying.... despite great competition.

My head hurts ... I have lists but the categories are "Trappists, Loons and Irritants" I think I had better keep that one to myself. However some of the Trappists have been amusing even when they have made their isolated posts. Kitanna has been very confident, perhaps the least in character though the last post could be taken either as IC or serious and therefore somewhat defensive.
