I noticed the very same thing. And I still haven't read through those two Days I missed in the beginnig of the game - and thence I'm a bit unsure with all these cases against or for
Izzy,
Shasta and
Eönwë... It really does affect one's motivation. Agreed. Although had I been killed by Night by the mutineers I might have been more keen to get involved as some people might have listened to me. But looking at
Boro's and
Nerwen's reactions (in particular) it feels sometimes like a waste of time alltogether... and as you have seen, I have mainly commented on discussions that have been going on right when I have been around - and maybe on some general principles. That's where the lack of the threat of personal survival gets one into. Laziness and a kind of disinterestedness.

I think it's definitely worth to spend a thought or two on the dead, especially you and Nogrod, who are still participating lively and having influence. If someone could give us a convincing guess at the identities of the dead mutineers, it'd probably be the key to victory, since in the given setting, the mutineers were/are probably less careful in their interactions than usual.

You're kind of right here and then at the same time looking like a bloody mutineer... Do you think
Shasta would make a detailed overall analysis - from Day1 onwards to the present - or
Eönwë... or even
Izzy (well she might, possibly) - and then use hours to make the connections between what they had worked out from the dead to the present living? You're suggesting a sidetrack
Mac and you know it.
There is no way to be sure about the dead - but there are chances of hitting it right with the living if you make an effort towards it. Using the energy to look at the dead - where nothing firm can be found - is waste of energy from this lazy crew we have alive. So let them stick to the actual matter at hand with the few posts they have an interest to make in the first place...
Could I prophetise that the dead will post more toDay than the living - even with these motivation-issues?
