Alack, you are right,
Kath! I'm at a loss. I guess I'll actually have to think. Think? In my first post? That doesn't sound healthy...
But what makes this Day 1 even crazier than the lack of various "role-playing nonsense" is our numbers. While we ordos are 13 strong, and we have some help on our side in the way of a Seer, Ranger, and Hunter, we're up against five nasties who want us all to die. Now I see that some people are rather optimistic about this, and I'd like to be, too, but...that's a lot of us to just go at each other's throats, isn't it?
Everyone who's discussing how the wolves are/will behave is out of their minds. It's Day 1. The wolves don't have to do anything but sit back and let everyone get confused, bogged down by theories and plans.
So what do I have to suggest? Not much, unfortunately, other than stirring things up a bit more. So I quite agree with
SPaM and
Noggy...and I apologize for not having more time. I'd rather be catching Faithfuls than scanning Latin poetry at this point, trust me...
I find the bits of back and forth between
Manwe and
SPM interesting, and the simple fact that
Manwe is so keen in his fisherman routine. But I suppose after so many WW games starting off with everyone at least a little in character, he wouldn't want to miss out.
I find
Mith's comment about the Gifteds rather strange, as well. It's nice to know who your allies are, but not if it means your enemies know all about them, too. She seems "easy-going" in a way I would think speaks to her innocence, except it feels a tad forced to me. The "oh, if anyone just so happens to know how to find out who the gifteds are, that'd be dandy!" thing seems forced in this way to me...but that's just me.
Glirdan's post irks me, as any post does that says nothing but complains about people saying nothing. While it's understandable that there's not much going on and so not much to do, I think a little effort to "stir something up" (yes, I'll use that phrase as much as I want!) would have been nice.
I see that
Nogrod and
SPaM have posted the most...all is right with the world...
Another interesting remark, this one from
Garin...

While I quite agree with not basing guilt/innocence on past experiences, I can just imagine a new-Wolf thinking "don't trust those people you've played with before, but trust me."
Nogrod and anyone who's even played one game before comes with a lot of baggage that can mean a person is considered more innocent or more guilty.
Agh, I need to stop before I start reading things into every word of every post.
Unfortunately I'll have to go in a few hours not to return till just about an hour before the deadline tomorrow, so...give me something to read!
Oh, but don't worry...I'll give you a vote to consider before I go.
