++ Legate for Captain

Because he seems sensible and innocentish and has already received a vote. I don't like the idea of spreading the votes too much, especially if someone I'm considering myself has already been voted for. By the way, what happens if there is a tie in Captain votes? Noggers?

It does sound familiar...and I was only mostly joking around. I thought her wording was odd is all.
And may I ask why you think I'm suspisious? Just a hutch? or do you have some reasoning to your hunch?

Roa- if I had any idea who I was going to vote for, I'd tell you (probably).

I'm almost certain I'm not actually going to be around for today's deadline. Now that I've eaten a meal and a half, I've remembered that Tuesdays are gym days and if I'm going, I won't be back until about an hour after deadline.

So...

Expect an early vote from me, once I decide.

Mostly a hunch, that is a hutchy hunch...Your first post of the day "Oh no! Nog! Wolves!" and in general a light, joking, playful "lol"ing attitude throughout the day. Very bad reasons? Probably. Has anyone had any decent reasons? Maybe Roa, I think I do now.

The problem is no one is suspecting anyone, and mostly the discussion has been either around Fea and me, which has mostly been people selectively defending Fea and me. We need more suspicions than just letting Roa do all the work. Therefor, I conclude. I suspect you on hunchy, poor reasoning.

The majority of your first posts were playful and silly.

Then you do some work. *quits* (not really)

At this moment, not only do I suspect Boromir, but I also suspect Hakon (cause his first post was indeed "weird"). I usually like to have a top three, but after this it's all me being mostly irritable in such a quiet place.

No, I don't. Never played with him before. But Nilp was weird too, and it didn't stop him from getting lynched, nor did being a wolf make him less weird.

He has been known to make strange comments as an innocent. Still, he may get my vote unless something more concrete reveals itself.

But out of Val's first 10 posts I looked at the vast majority of them contained some sort of "lol," laughter joking, and as she just admitted her comment to Legate and to Fea were both mostly joking. A bit excessive amount of playful silliness for my liking.

My point is Roa, I'm trying to get you to relax yourself, because we all can't analyse like you, nor do all of us have the time during the day phases to seriously think and analyze everyone.

You're really going to tell me to do it? I have been, I've named the people I like to stay around, and I did it also with my votes. I've also named the people I suspect. You may not like the way I do it, you may not like the fact that I'm not being a careful analyzer, but the fact is I'm doing it, and separate that from you just not liking the way I am doing it.

But I must point out Boro, I AM a bit silly and light hearted, just like you ARE always a bit of an aggressive pain the first day. Which is why today I don't think you are a wolf.

Sorry, I didn't mean that seriously. I am well known for being the analyzer (see sig) and I don't expect anyone to do it like I do. Your votes and posts have made your views quite clear. I have no problem with your methods, even if I don't agree with your reasons.

No I don't think so.

I think I am as capable for this role as anybody else and I actually enjoy being in a possition of power, even if it can make me a bit nervouse.

Personally I think wanting it for fun is just as valid a reason as somebody being a skillful wolf-hunter.

btw, can you vote for your self?

So far it is only you and Legate that has said anything that pussled me, I don't have anything based on actual theories of behavior yet.

++Roa for Captain.

Because she's been making the most sense out of anyone, and isn't giving me wolf-vibes. (I did consider Rune, who wants the job and who I don't think is a wolf, but I believe Roa has better leadership qualities.)

++Guard Kath.

Because 3 out of 5 lupine conferences on Night Two contain the phrase, "I know, let's kill Kath!"

EDIT:X'd since Greenie.
I don't like you anymore. . .


Anyways I need to go deliver a suitcase to my sister (she is leaving for Rome) so I cannot stay as long as I thought. It means that I will be voting in a few moments.

I can see that you fear that the role as captain can damage the village. I know that today we have to elect a captain, but maybe it would be smart to have a talk about wether we want anybody to be in that position of power later on.
I was thinking along these lines as well.


Quote:
Of course we should not lynch people just because they are being helpful, that would be stupid indeed, but I do think there is some merit to Valiers theory. We should be on the lookout for relatively helpful people, that post a fair amount and seem helpful, but don't produce much. Like if people make very detailed posts about what others have said, but never really conclude anything.
Have someone in mind?

Well I must say I really don't like the power the Captain has. I don't think I want to give Roa or Boro that power today, since they seem quite talkative and seem to have at least some power with their words in that way. So it's either Rune or Legate... not sure yet who. and the NG is still up in the air for me.

The interesting thing is that I've never played in a game where a wolf decided to hide in the quiet. According to my experience, if a wolf is quiet, it tends to be because s/he is a quiet player in general, not because s/he thinks hiding in the quiet is a good strategy.


EDIT: x-ed with Boro and Roa

Fair point, Boro. I've been lupine with Val (not in this game, obviously) and I know she's clever but if she's innocent she's a likely kill, at least in my mind.

And I totally forgot Brinn was playing, or I'd have considered her for Night Guarding too. *headdesks*

Yeah, I'm totally busy right now. Cleaning out my desk (because it's dirty, for reference). I'll never be on the thread again.

A sidenote: I'll be letting Lommy use the Internet now, which means I probably won't be around in an hour or two. I'll definitely be back, though.

In case of a draw the first one to gain the votes will be the captain. That goes with the NG's as well...

Sorry. I had totally forgotten to add that to the rules. *goes to do that*

PS. I have already added the point that NG's can't perform their possible gifts during the Night... (as the NG and the BG kind of join forces when their number goes down I had just thought it was clear the same rules applied to both guard-roles - but at least it should be clear now)
