*shrug* If you want to vote this way, that's cool.

Sorry for the indifference, I'm hung up over whom I want to vote for now. Ilya is certainly appealing for pervious reasons I've mentioned already (repeating is annoying, frankly), but so are a few others.

Plus, a little bit of difference on the take of things between base and representative would more than likely force others and I to have an opinion. Especially if said representative acted in a way that I dissagreed with.
I'm liking the idea of a healthy dose of friction as a self-help. It might seem a gamble, but I guess that's what I get for working at a casino.

++Boro88 for Representative

I've always liked Boro88's level of common sense, even if it's not exactly how I or whom I trust as innocent see the situation. Plus, I agree with his point of action on that representatives are not going to morph into something completely different just because they have their own playing field later on.

Habits taken in, I'm horribly notorious for being an observer and probably too cautious. It definately works some of the time, but I like the idea of my representative taking a risk, and thus making myself more involved and opiniated. I'm not definate of anyone's real role just yet, but I know if something bothers me enough I form more of an action and want to help problem-solve.


Okay, I have to leave for work and bring food to poker players. Later.

Notable occurrences:

Agan and Greenie making Brinniel a representative. I was actually leaning towards voting for her myself, but now it seems my vote won't be needed.
Greenie made a list, with which I agree, on some people.

Especially phantom.

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not nearly as anti-Phantom as I usually am, because he's been making good points and asking fair questions. It just annoys me that the discussion becomes so very Phantom-o-centric. There are other issues and other people playing, after all.

There's also been some discussion on "weak" and "strong" reps. I think I am correct (though feel free to correct me) in saying that the Representative's power is based on how many votes he or she received; a Rep with 4 votes will have double the voting power than a Rep with only 2 votes.

Legate also made a list. What's odd is that he seems to be on very good terms with both Boromir and Phantom... a bit flip-floppy on Phantom, actually, based on his earlier attitude. I think Lommy's right about a possible Boro-Phantom-Legate triangle, but to what purpose? Surely they're not all wolves... are they?

Unless that is if there are no better... (I just don't want to hear those certain arguments again for the hundreth time).

I agree with this, actually. In a game of this type, I think it's much more important to not let people slip under the radar. I think I could vote for Nogrod for rep today, but I'll keep looking.

I've noticed a couple of people have been thinking of voting me. Hooray, it makes me feel special. I'll use a seperate post as my "campaign" post, so as to not muck this one up.

Who's Immanuel Kent? I feel out of the loop.

Ka is one person I'm getting a weird feeling about. She hasn't said much, but I'd like to look at her later.

McCaber is also slipping nicely under my radar, but that's usual.

Yes, innocents can have it wrong but as the wolves know they are faking it they - at least some of them - could be caught that way.

I disagree. I don't think quiet players... hmm, I'm not sure how to put this without sounding mean. I'm not sure quiet players will have participated enough to know what is in the best interests of the village. Did that come out alright? I apologize if it didn't.

In other words, you want to be the power behind the throne.

I'm fine with being made a Rep. I'm gonna be here for the deadline, and I promise, I won't arbitrarily vote Phantom (unless warranted ).

As for opinions, I really don't think quiet, unobtrusive players should get nearly as much leeway as they do in regular games. If you're not talking, you're not participating, and if you're not participating, you're not working for the good of the village.

My read-through is being interrupted by something. That something is that I'm at work and must occasionally keep children from killing each other.

But I've finished Nog at least. So my updated read-through list-

Shasta- Despite his high number of posts, I am not able to form an opinion on him. I'd like to see a few more serious opinions from him. (He seems to be back now, and my opinion of him might change soon.)
Boromir- I have not received a full read on him yet, but his vibes thus far have been innocent.
Nogrod- I find myself suspecting him for no reason whatsoever, but he makes sense and his talk seems to make for a productive and thoughtful atmosphere, and so I am more than willing to push my weak feelings of mistrust aside for now.

Ok, so toDay I am voting

++Nogrod

as my representative. I think he'd do a good job of keeping the quiet players on their toes, making the ranks of the sub-reindeer-sitters a less than safe place for a wolf to hide. This, at any rate, is my hope.
