I'm holding out for one of our dear Mod-Goddesses. ;)


*stops reading long enough to roll her eyes*


Gah. Some initial vibes from what I've seen. Mind you, spur of the moment, gut stuff, most of it kind of silly, so if I read things again I may change my mind. [/sleepy disclaimers]


Phantom: needs to shut his gob. ;) I'm trying to decide if his questions are really to get more *cough* unnecessary *cough* information or if he's just being talkative to be a distraction. But he's always like this. *sigh*
Shasta: he's psychic?!?!?!?!?!?!? *covers head in tinfoil*
Legate: seems fairly sensible and help out-ish.
Boro:
Nog:
Eon: See the post where he says (I believe) that the discussion so far is pointless. This strikes me as very odd. We have to do our best on the first day (not that I like them either) and no discussion is pointless/unhelpful in the wolf-catching effort. Especially in a village this size, the more people talk the more we have to use to evaluate them.
Morm: Monkey with a gun. Yipes. But for some reason my Morm sensor is NEVER right. Ridiculous, really. I think he's innocent, so he must be guilty.
Cabbie:
Gwath:
Brinn:
Ilya: Haven't played with her before, but she strikes me as almost too innocent. Then again, I'm paranoid. WHY ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT ME?!?!??
Kath:
Ka: cute little posts (at least the ones I've read so far) and fairly friendly. Which isn't to say that Ka's not always friendly, or that wolves have to be rude, but she seems legit, at least for now.
Greenie: Sneaky little minx. Is she a wolf in this game? I'll let you know, but for now I don't think so.
Agan: always a wolf. Always.
Di:
Nerwen:
Fea: is the den mother. obviously. I mean, how hard is it to see, people? She's obviously evil! *runs off flailing* hehe

If there's nothing by your name I think nothing of you. (Take that how you like heh. Kidding, kidding.) Off to term paper world.


EDIT: x'd with two Shasta's. Odd Couple. Oooo....

the phantom 11-11-2008 07:29 PM

Sally seems okay thus far. Boro still hasn't set off an alarm. So far so good.

My Brin and Green read-through will have to wait though. I have a task that I must complete in RL.

And I just realized that there is no rush anyway, because we still have another day of Day 1 left to us. All that I need to be sure and do is vote for a Rep, and I'll certainly get that in before the deadline.

satansaloser2005 11-11-2008 07:31 PM

Going to take a nap, children.


My original rep choice was going to be Noggie, followed by Phantom, Agan, and Legate in no particular order. Noggie's already got his two required rep points, and I know that Phantom will be paying attention to the game (too much, if anything, heh) so he'd be a good choice too. However, my vote goes to....


++Legate for representative



I feel fairly comfortable with my choice, so if anyone wants to back me up on it (someone might have already, I know for a fact I didn't catch all the votes) feel free.


EDIT: x'd with Phantom.

Not at all. He has long believed her secret real life identity is this lovely lady... I simply can't compete.

"Braaaaainnnssss"?

Boromir88 11-11-2008 08:01 PM

Agan seems pretty genuine in her first post. I would like to go with her as my rep, but have some questions as far as her involvement in the next 24-hour period. Hmm...doubt she'll be back before this 1st period ends.

Brinn, what do you think about being chosen by Agan and Greenie?

Boromir88 11-11-2008 08:05 PM

I want you to be my rep Shasta, the only reservations I have is if you do get the power, I can picture you using it to end up lynching me for sweet vengeance.

Well, right now I don't really think you're a wolf, Boro, and contrary to popular belief, I don't consider myself to be spiteful. :p

I guess if I went with someone else, that would make me the spiteful one then. :eek:

Boromir88 11-11-2008 08:17 PM

To hopefully make it easier on the adored puppet-master.

The Reps (votes):

Brinniel (2)
Ilya (2)
Nogrod (2)

Lommy
Boro

Admirable, but unnecessary. :p

Ilya 11-11-2008 08:39 PM

As I have a film test tomorrow, I'm going to pretty much be out for the night, although I'll try to (procrastinate) check back in around the deadline. So, my vote:

++Boro88 for representative

Even though I'm still not quite sure about him, his logic is sound and his points all seem worth consideration.

Shastanis Althreduin 11-11-2008 08:45 PM

Fifty minutes till deadline, right?

All right, I promised I'd look at Brin and Green.

I have no opinion on them. Nothing they have said has tripped an alarm, but I also have no particular reason to trust them.

Thus neither of them will be receiving my Rep-vote.

Now, stealing the list and updating it-

The Reps (votes):

Brinniel- (2)
Ilya- (2)
Nogrod- (2)
Boro (2)

People with 1 vote:

Lommy
Greenie
the phantom
Aganzir
Legate

Quite honestly, I'm a bit surprised. I wasn't expecting to be voted for at all toDay...though I suppose perhaps that's because I'm so used never getting nominated for anything... Aganzir and Greenie haven't posted much and I can't get a good read on them. Their reasons for voting me seem sensible enough, though I don't know if I would've picked myself. I'm pretty sure Day Ones are my worst Day participation-wise; I always have a low post count on this Day. But I suppose that could be reason to make me a rep...force me to be louder from the beginning. :rolleyes:

the phantom 11-11-2008 09:09 PM

It's time for another list. This is to help me decide and let everyone see what I am thinking about my Rep-vote.

Aganzir- I'd like to see more.
Boromir88- Seems okay so far. A good choice.
Brinniel- I'd like to see more.
Diamond18- I'd like to see more.
Eönwë- I'd like to see more.
Gil-Galad- I'd like to see more.
Greenie- I'd like to see more.
Gwathagor- I'd like to see more.
Ilya- Seems okay so far. A good choice.
Legate- I like having him around, but feel I can't trust him yet.
Lommy- Seems okay so far. A good choice.
Kath- I'd like to see more.
McCaber- I'd like to see more.
mormegil- I'd like to see more.
Nerwen- I'd like to see more.
Nogrod- I like having him around, but feel I can't trust him yet.
Rune- I'd like to see more.
Sally- I'm leaning towards Ordo, but I'd like to see more.
Shasta- I like having him around, but feel I can't trust him yet.
The Ka- I'd like to see more.
the phantom- If only I coud vote for him.

Shastanis Althreduin 11-11-2008 09:10 PM

"I'd like to see more."
"I'd like to see more."
"I'd like to see more."

With only twenty-five minutes to go. Or are we going by BD time?

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-11-2008 09:14 PM

BD time. I thought it would be easiest to use a clock we all share.

That isn't to say that my gut will lead me any better than a coin flip, but I refuse to hand over my voting power to someone if I have no opinion on them and their motives.

Ooh, that means we have forty-five minutes then. Yeah, looking at the BD clock does make things much easier. :)

Btw, I think I'm going to have to fly to Copenhagen and pummel Rune for not showing up on Day 1. Silly boy. :p

Gwathagor 11-11-2008 09:18 PM

Ah politics. I should pull out my copy of Plato. Or Machiavelli at any rate.

Does anyone find it ironic that I happen to be writing a speech for class arguing against the Electoral College at this very moment? :rolleyes:

*chuckle*

Anyway, I'm going back to do some reading before I make my Rep selection.

Feanor of the Peredhil 11-11-2008 09:38 PM

In case there was confusion, I thought I should point out, just for the sake of it, that there will be no intermission between parts one and two of the Days. Just keep on playing through Deadline, but know that you'll be no longer allowed to vote for Reps and that your choices are in their hands for the rest of the day. Is that clear?

Brinniel 11-11-2008 09:38 PM

Hmm....I should vote soon.

I'm currently torn between choosing Shasta or Aganzir...

the phantom 11-11-2008 09:43 PM

I'm sort of going in circles here.

I only want to nominate someone who has given me something to work with.

But of course those people I can count on to speak up no matter what, so is it possible that I could use my vote to encourage someone else to take action?

But then I'm uneasy giving power to an unknown.

But some of the "knowns" make me slightly uneasy anyway, so are they any better?

Of course if I hand someone that seems trusted even more power, might the WWs fear their future influence and off them during the night? So perhaps I should fake mistrust of those who I truly trust in order to preserve them for the first couple days.

Gah!

I suspect I'm making this more difficult than it is supposed to be.
