Just a short remarc from me before i sign off...

So Galadriel is stealing the thunder, this kind of behaviour is infuriating. It can at times be helpful, but mostly it just results in confusion that bots/wolves can hide in.

My guess is that people don't want to vote for an active person on day one, and under any circumstances it would be wise to look furter than Galadriel.

Despite Legate's remarc earlier he seem relatively harmless, or rather he does not seem overly suspicious.

Weather or not Morsul is his usual self, I cannot judge. Very active, but nothing special. Probably just a result of this being day 1.

I want to say something about Boromir as well, but I cannot.

See ya.

Rune isn't being very helpful, at least in the last one, but given the stage and time of the day (resp. night), and that he's sitting here next to me, I'm going to let it pass.

Well, for the time being, off. I hope I'll wake up early enough to appear before the DL. So far, there isn't so much to go with. Hope to see everyone.

Gah. I don't think I'll be around much longer andI doubt I'll be awake before DL. stupid sickness...

So I'm trying to decide if I want to vote early based on flimsy as Mordor "evidence" or abstain.

For me the DL is 7am, and I really don't want to wake up that early tomorrow. But I don't want to stay up horribly late today either. I was hoping for a bit more activity. I want to echo Morsul's sentiment: there's nothing of enough significance to cast a vote.

If the silence continues for another ~3 hours, I guess I'll have to get up around 6 tomorrow to read and vote, and I be very cross with you silent lot.

Sorry, everyone - I completely forgot that this was today! I'm here now, though.

I don't want to spend too long on G55, but since she has been one of the loudest, I may as well touch on her briefly. She seems like she's being purposefully distracting but doesn't seem dangerous - cobbler, maybe. I get the feeling she's after one of the seer's dreams, so I'd suggest not wasting any on her. That being said, playing the cobbler could be a decent strategy for a wolf, so we shouldn't write her off completely...but I wouldn't waste my energies barking up that particular tree.

Zil and Legate, on the other hand, strike me as their usual, squishy-brained selves. I haven't really gotten a read on anyone else thus far.

EDIT: xed twice

If she's evil, even if only the Hacker, she's certainly playing with abandon. That rauses the question also of how the Hacker would show up to the Seer. If only as an innocent, that would really be a waste of a dream.

I'm going to have to vote in the next couple of hours. I don't as a rule abstain from voting, so I'm going to have to decide.

Oh, and Morsul is square in the middle of my 'innocent' list. I definitely don't think he'd have voted Rune the way he did were he a wolf - I'm sure he'd be at least a little more self-aware than that.

(And yes, I do know this is Morsul we're talking about. I haven't forgotten that un-self-aware is his playing style...but he usually does try to look better when he's evil.)

There really isn't much to go on, is there? G55 is playing a bit more off-the-wall than she normally does - that's really the only thing that's stuck out to me, like, at all, and it really doesn't point at one thing in particular.

I don't have a vote yet. I'll be back in a bit.

Edit: X'ed with Lottie.
