And the statistical arguments then? Those can be made - and they can bite. Like we might say that it's probable that now as 7 people (half of us) have talked at least one or two wolves have meddled in the discussion. That I'd say is a reasonable deduction. Sadly the reasonableness of the conclusion is straight in line with the uninformativeness of the end result.

But whether from all those in the game an X number of left-handers or brown-eyed will be wolves I'm not so sure anymore. From the four Finns one might be a wolf - as well as from the four Americans one might be - or anyone from those not being Finns or Americans can be a wolf... Which doesn't mean I wouldn't be ready to suspect Agan as well as you do. She's just too sneaky to be true. Everytime. And I know that and thence I suspect her everytime which is good in a sense but also may backfire badly - as has been seen as well...

What I mean is that without making even a slightly justified case for your choice of the statistical groups these kind of arguments are just sham or only statistics.

The question remains, whether you Mith just wish to look good by making these statistical arguments or whether it's a deliberate trial to turn our attention away from certain people... or towards some others. Or whether you just have nothing else to go for - and I do appreaciate your early-Day activity. Without people like you we could never get forwards.

Oh Nogrod you really don't know me at all.....

Teh thing about the gifted was just that in the "no edit" environment of a WW game when I checked over my post I was still reading what was in my mind not the page and didn't realise I hadn't posted what I meant. Had I been a wolf I would have perhaps been more cautious.

Teh simple fact is that this is the first game for a long moon that I have joined completely of my own free will because I can probably participate to a level I find satisfactory, it claims to be a nice basic game (which Miss Thinlomien could mean no gifted or just a seer as in WW1). So I decided to enjoy myself.

As an ordo the best service I can do Monsieur Nogrod is to be la rabouilleuse - that is the woman who stirs up the mud in the stream to send the little fishes into the waiting nets. If I can have fun on the way so be it. Yes it is dangerous to do such a thing ... makes you an easy target. But it would be the wrong one. There is nothing else to do on day one especially if you post early but talk nonsense really but if my gibberish has meant there is something for after comers to discuss. I am content.
