Eomer, you did not quote the sentence that followed - I said that of course one can post in-role, but it should be discerneable what is in role or not. My point of saying that people should quit roleplaying after second or third post meant: Quit posting posts which are NOTHING but roleplaying! If you post for half a day just about what ships you have looted or what wargs you have cloned, it is perhaps funny, but not the point of the game. This is Werewolf, not the RPG room. You should catch Wraiths and not play pirates. You can do that elsewhere. You can of course put in pirate slang or use a sort of "enhanced" way of expressing your doubts (instead of saying "we should lynch X" you can say "X should walk the plank", like we have seen f.ex. in Nerwen's recent post), that's fine. Or you can open your post with ranting about the lack of troops in your home country - but it should NOT be the only content of your posts.
The problem with you in particular is that I cannot tell how much of your post is in-role: or actually, if there is anything out-role at all. Because even the things you say which sound like suspicions or doubts or in-game questions, are mostly based on some in-role posting. That's why I said in my former post that I don't get you.

Well, simply - because if she says she has RL things to do, I can excuse her. Of course, for now - if she were doing this every day and saying "oh, sorry, I can't post" then of course, it would be nonsense. But it is just Day 1, and if such a thing happens once - well, it can happen to any of us, right?

Now that be strange, true. The wench be sweet as sugar to the one as tried to hang her– 'tain't in nature, I'd have said. But then why does His Majesty say she's defensive, when she's just the other thing?
Okay, saying defensive - I simply meant the fact that she is commenting on something like that in such a way. Okay, wrong use of words. By "defensive" I was aiming mainly on the aspect of her saying "I'd ask you to consider some other people tomorrow..." But you are right about the sugar part, yes.

Okay, otherwise: Nilp's appearance and self-vote does not look good to me at all, why is he doing that? I think that's a bit silly, if nothing else. I mean, it's a way of bringing attention, of course, but he could have as well not voted at all. This is just asking for attention.

wilwa's vote and the reasoning behind it is just bad. I mean - okay, maybe she does not have a preference of one subject over the other, but saying "" would be just a too easy cover for . Many people do that. Okay, I see - some just won't have chance to come back again, and have to vote, and it's Day 1, and they don't have that much suspicion - we know the stuff. But I think one should at least try to vote based on his or her best opinion, because then there is some actual stance behind the vote and not just "okay, it ended up that way". All right, true - wilwa basically said that both me and Eomer are equal suspects in her eyes, so it was just a choice between two similar things. But still.

Okay, so for now: I guess I will be watching sally as well as wilwa and Nilp, and Eomer is a whole chapter for me. From those who have not posted that much before, Nerwen now seems quite okay to me from the last reading.

I guess I'll be more or less around from now on, and see and think of my vote then.

Edit: x-ed with sally. Hmm..
