Phew, I'm back. Like I already said yesterDay, I'm really sorry for my total lack of participation.

Well... though I agree that it sucks if people (ie. me) need to abstain from voting or participate very little during one Day, I think you are being a bit too hard - you don't really believe people have sudden RL obligations just for fun, do you? Sometimes one just can't help it, and though it sucks, it's just the way it is. It's a different case entirely if you are like that for the entire game, but if it's just one Day it shouldn't be such a big issue.

Related to the previous issue, I don't quite agree with your logic that practically says that people with RL obligations are automatically innocent since if they were wolves they'd be foul and unfair wolves. Like I said earlier, sudden RL obligations are not a question of game tactics, and therefore in-game conclusions can hardly be drawn on that basis. Do I make sense at all?

Personal character and the general involvement in these games is a major factor but I won't go into them too much as I don't want to engage in that meta-game discussion we had yesterDay anymore. But in a situation like this, would it be an ordo who would decide just not to vote or one of a pair of lovers? That indeed is a question.

As for why I didn't vote - like I said yesterDay, I had no time to really think about the game and I would have felt entirely silly to vote even though I had no time to think about who might be a baddie. It would have felt almost like a random vote to me, and I rather don't vote at all than vote randomly without thinking.
I'll be back soon with more stuff on other issues.
EDIT: x-ed with Eomer
