Well, I'm quoting Mac...

But, defensibly, one could argue that out of a total of 4 votes cast, 1 is a full 25% of the vote.

Also, 4 votes this early in the day is not insignificant--though also not unprecedented.

I'm just saying, Mac's over-reacting... and I'm wondering why. Maybe he was already counting my prospective vote on Mira. Which I believe I'll make now:

++Mirandir

Not at all sure about this, though; I may well change it later.

There, Mac. Now they each have two votes.

I thought that odd as well. The early vote would make sense if he knew he wouldn't be around later, but what was the point of locking it in? I think Sally did the same thing. Why eliminate your chance for retraction, not knowing what may happen closer to DL?

I wasn't attacking you, per se. An innocent would certainly have an interest in pointing it out, but so would a wolf to a packmate who'd just made a dangerous error. The way you worded it seemed to me a bit more along the lines of the latter scenario, that's all.

Indeed. Early in the Day, and many possibilities still.

It looks like Rikae and Mira are being met with a lot of suspicion, which is reflected in the voting. Yes, one or two votes are not necessarily significant, but shall I wait until it's three or four votes until I tell you I don't like the choice? Pitch was lynched with five votes. I'm not over-reacting at all, just trying to nip two upcoming foolish bandwaggons in the bud.

Form's critical yet cautious approach looks innocent to me, but I think Nerwen's flippant way is a bit eyebrow-raising (though, admitted, Nerwen is almost always flippant), and Inzil's wolvish "there are still many possibilities" has in all likelihood secured my vote for him today.


edit: curse of the 2nd language... "flippant" is not really the right word on second thought, I'm meaning something like "relaxed", "casual", "not serious"...
