Actually you're right... *flashback to WWJ I* Ah, 'twas a lovely game and I did play a major role in snatching the win for us... actually I did in II as well so if I snatch the win in IVI'll be laughing all the way to the bank. Thanks for the vote of confidence, I'll be acing those exams no matter what and after that if I'm still in the game I'll go back to my actual theorizing. The one that makes sense. [At times]

I'm here now. Sorry for being away. Taking care of those penguins is such a hard job.

I have skimmed through the thread, but I will read it now more carefully. Then I'll post some thoughts. I just wanted to tell you that I'm alive and online.

And: JennyHallu - I'm a she
everyone - if you shorten my name I prefer Lommy (but I don't mind if you call me Thin)

Whoops...Sorry, Lady Lommy. If you'll notice, you're not the only one who has so suffered at my hands today...perhaps I have become a little short-sighted from long hours spent auditing people's taxes.

Not yours, of course. I'm sure yours were fine.

Just really logging that I am back ..I did manage to sneak a few peeks since lunch but not enough to draw significant conclusions. At least there seems to be some more serious discussion going on now. And everyone I think has posted. Excuse me while I read. I should be here to the deadline now.

Jenny doesn't sit well with me. Her behavior harkens of a new wolf, soon to be innisiated into that brutal fellowship of lupines.

++Jenny

Please note that this vote is not so much on concrete reasoning as a fealing in by gut. As if anyone has any conrete reaonsing at any point in this torturous ordeal, much less on the first day.

No problem, Jenny.

I'm a bit suspicious about Wilwa. She hasn't really said anything, just posted a popping-in post. Of course, she's (probably) living on a different time zone than I, so maybe she'll pop up later. Or maybe she has real life business. Being silent doesn't mean being wolf who doesn't want to attract attention. It might just be being busy with other things than WW.

Firefoot is a difficult case. I say, if she isn't killed by wolves soon, she's a wolf. (Wolves seem to prefer killing the villagers that have something to say or are making themselves important for the village.) And now the wolves won't probably kill her anyway, because it serves them well to have her there under my suspicion. And on the other hand, they might think that a reason to kill her. Oh no, I'm making this meaningless babbling.

Valier's posting style also makes me suspicious. Don't ask why. It's just a gut-feeling.

Sleepy hides well behind his rockstar-role, so he doesn't have to show much of his real thoughts. A good tactic for a wolf? But the long post he made at the bottom of the previous page makes me less suspicious about him. That was no roleplaying; it was commenting comments.

The others don't make me think about anything special, so maybe they are the most dangerous ones; the invisible ones.

Well I threw a stone, the target had gone but it caused some interesting ripples... interesting but not particularly helpful.

Firefoot, now I have had time to take into account the time she was posting, I think was really out on her own with not much to react with. She probably was truly just trying to stir up discussion - but in 3 of the 4 games I have played before suspecting the first poster would have been justified so, for me it is worth a look.

At the time I posted last, Jenny was the second most frequent poster. I just put it down to a new comer trying too hard and gave her the benefit of the doubt then. It may well be that still hold true. Does 2 votes count as a bandwagon?
I don't know but I will not add to them now.

So I am not much further save that if I must go for a relatively random vote, I shall probably go for someone who hasn't contributed much... and by that I mean quality not quantity. Some people have only really posted references to their profession - I know there isn't a lot to go on on day one but ..... "frothy" posts give the impression that someone is active without actually helping.

However I would like explained why limiting the vote is better than people following their insticts however duff? If people choose from the 13 (effectively 12 others - suicidal votes are generally unhelpful) then at least all the wolves are in the pot - yes with all the gifted and ordos. If you limit it then you might be choosing from all innocents /gifteds.... or have I misunderstood the situation?

Time ot reread and see if there have been more posts while I pondered.
