Okay, I have again been banished to the computer to make up items in mockery of 50 years. And don't think I haven't volunteered for this! I could have been playing Kanasta, but there are more important things afoot.
Let's take a look at our list of the living, and see what my general impressions are.
alonariel Very little substance as yet. She has at least the face value of making an effort to be useful, but fairly little to go by. In her favour, this could be the result of lack of time--and yesterday, Day 1, I'm hardly one to fault.
autume Suffers, even more than
Alona, from having not said much. In her case, this doesn't have the connotation of
trying to fly under the radar--but possibly that's because she's actually
doing it.
Brinn Seems a bit quieter than usual, but that might be because Day 1 was so excessively noisy yesterday, and I think she's usually on closer to the Deadline. Not suspicious yet, but definitely not going to trust her.
Durelin Oddly,
Dury seems really quiet. I'm not sure if this is just a case of too much noise, ala the hypothesis re:
Brinn, but she's just really under my radar. Apart from distrusting under-the-radar types, I can't come up with a reason
not to trust her.
Formendacil That's me. I trust me complicitly.
Inziladun I've never played with him, but my vibe from other games I was not a part of makes me wary on principle, and I'm not sure I agree with what he says... but agreement or disagreement isn't necessarily a reason to suspect somebody. *thinks about Nogrod*
Lommy Hasn't been around much. For better or for worse, this is effectively giving her a pass for now.
Macalaure Makes sense for the most part, and is not raising alarms, but, in the opposite of
Inziladun's case, that's not necessarily a reason to trust him.
Mira Has been on the quieter side, for this village. She's accumulated a considerable share of suspicion from the village thus far, considering, but I can't quite suspect her. On the other hand, I'm not at all convinced of her innocence. Maybe it's a false sense of safety that says "
Mira can't be all that dangerous, even if she's all that bad"--if that makes any sense, it's a really good power to have harnessed, on her part.
Morm I'm disappointed he's not going to be around today, since I tend to need lots of
Mormery to decide if he's innocent or dangerous... but he hasn't rung the alarm bells yet--possibly a suspicious thing where
Morm is concerned.
Nerwen Has said enough that I feel she's participating, but not enough that I have a gut feeling about her--a problem of the Timezones, no doubt, but problematic in a game played half by one's gut.
Nessa Heh. My vote yesterday on faulty information that
Rikae had voted for her. I'm still more inclined to think her guilty than not, but she's said little enough that I can't say I have a reason "why" and I don't know her well enough to have an idea what's normal for her.
Nienna Well, given that most of my recent experience with her (last game) was all coloured in with the fact we were Lovers, I'm not sure I know what's normal for her... but she isn't raising any alarms. That inclines me to think she's innocent, but she's also not really said enough to go off.
Rikae I've been tying myself rather strongly--toDay and yesterDay--to my belief that
Rikae is innocent, and while my gut still sticks with that, my brain had the mental twinge of "what if she's guilty?" that I might just be that one ordo who falls for the convincing arguments of the wolf. Well, if so, I guess that's where we are today.
sally Has not been as entertaining as I want--or said as much usefully. Somehow, I think a quiet
Sally is an Ordo-
Sally, but I'm not ready to trust her quite yet.
Shasta ToDay, contrary to past traditions, I'm comfortable with everything
Shasta has said. Of course, he's said very little and intimated he won't say much more today. In hindsight, given that last game he was a Cobbler and I was a Lover, it's
possible I'm over-evaluating how much I distrust him on the strength of muddled memories (
Shasta's not
quite an old-timer in the sense that
Boro or
Morm are, and my playing is definitely slanted in the direction of 2006ish. All the same, though he's not alerting me just yet, I can't say I trust him.
the phantom I don't trust
the phantom at all. Of course, that doesn't mean anything. One should never trust
the phantom unless you get to PM him at Night or during the Day, and in that case you should let him guide your every move. Stepping aside from that formidable legend, however, he seems less committed than usual. Is that a ploy? A sign he's not a wolf? Real life? Real Life seems most credible, and I'm willing to put it down to Ordonariness too, but I still don't trust him.
Another post in a bit to see where this puts me (after I make that birthday thing...
)
