Right now, there is so much going on in the village it is hard for me to jump in and analyze. The village is falling into crazy-confusion, and I'm going to try to be pretty organized rather than perpetuate the problem. I'm going to mention each villager in order of appearance, I think.

And before I begin: All I am likely to say on the whole Owl/Goose thing: In this village, only Lote is a novice, or even an amateur, and I tend to fall on the "shush up about the Gifted already" side of the fence. No one here is incapable of dealing with a Gifted role in an intelligent, if not brilliant manner: it's the equal brilliance we're likely to see from the Ducks that worries me. Therefore, I am looking for Ducks.

Glirdy: His first post is pretty much nonsense, and includes accusations of SPM and Spawn that I'm inclined to look at as pure randomness. He's not said anything else except for two "Ho Hum, I'm herding trees elsewhere" posts.

Morm: Morm is someone I'm inclined to expect a lot of, mostly because I know how helpful he can be. Today, aside from a single post speculating on the Owl, has been only defensive. Seems out of character.

Valier: Valier, in my opinion, has not been terribly helpful today. Several nonsense posts, one pure agreement post, and that leaves one of substance: in which she listed 4 names that stood out and said they're all being normal. While I wish she put more effort into being helpful day 1, I don't think we're seeing anything unusual from her.

Cailín: She and Ang squabble a little, but it doesn't feel like a serious thing, just joking around when noone else was around. She posts later (41) and starts to feel more like the thoughtful person we know. I don't like that she went back to the Owl speculation...but the tentative suspicions she expressed at the end of that post seemed thought out, or if not she honestly admitted it.

Anguirel: Ang has definitely been one of the more involved villagers today. As I said above, I'm discounting most of his squabble with Cailín. Just didn't seem to mean much. I have a lot of respect for Ang as a player: he's very articulate and comes across as very honest. I'm not going to spend a lot of time here because he feels genuinely innocent to me.

DSoU: She's only posted twice today, so don't expect to see a lot here. She had some confusion as to the rules that's been picked up on as a reason for vote. This makes little sense to me. I'd like to hear more from Spawn, but I don't think her question says anything towards her quackiness.

Lalaith: Has seemed sensible to me today, despite suspicion Nogrod has thrown her way. Once again, I don't like the Owl talk, but I have no complaint with Lalaith.

Nilp: Voted for himself...seems to be standard operating procedure. Withholding judgment (or any sort of opinion, really) until tomorrow.

Noggie: Finally quit beating the horse...*whew* I think it has been established that Noggie drives me crazy day 1. Every day 1. Without fail. But he really settles down into such a helpful person...day 1 is really too soon to tell with him.

SPM: I envy him his time to write long posts. However, I don't really feel that he's living up to his reputation at this point. We have lots of volume, most of it saying "Why aren't we looking for ducks?" His suspicions seem to be leaning toward Morm, Nogrod, and Nilp.

Kath: Says little, but to the point. No opinion.

Mith: As someone with mild blood sugar problems, I can accept her excuse for her posting today. But what she's said just...made no sense to me. At all.

Sleepy: Hasn't been helpful...and I don't really like random votes.

Roa: Now some aggressiveness from Roa I expect, but today has just felt a little crazy. I would rest easier if it didn't feel like she was jumping all over trivialities. SPM gave Nogrod credit for success in Owl-talk diversion, but I think it was Roa's crazy loud arguing that made it an issue.

Diamond: Whoops...how'd she get in there? Definitely innocent, as well as being the smartest and best looking person on the list. We shall miss her.

Elu: Has basically just popped in once.

ME: Again...sorry I haven't been around more. My internet habits are about to change drastically, as I am not really allowed on at work anymore. I fudged earlier, and I may be able to get away with it some...but don't count on it. (Trouble is, there's no more work or anything...just no 'Net. Spent most of today reading the dictionary.)

Lote22: Not around yet. But I wouldn't be too surprised if I cross-post with her. I'm likely to cross post with a lot of people doing this.
