My thoughts exactly, about lynching wilwa. Wilwa is smart enough to be a good asset, and should have been saved for later, even if she was suspicious. which she was entirely not, seeing as if she had been a wolf, she wouldn't have let that happen to her. I put much more faith in her skills than that.

That bring me back to the first and last people to vote for wilwa: Roa and Jenny. And I think Jenny is by far teh more suspicious of the two.

Ack! Poor Thin! I may not have have liked her hunting such a rare animal, but she was still a good nieghbor! And Wilwa? I certainly wasn't expecting her to get lynched. My vote was really half random, and I didn't really think anyone would follow it.

Thankyou, Firefoot and Folwren for the analysis. I think I'll save mine for when we have fewer villagers and more evidence. Besides, last game I did analysis, the wolves killed me that very night.

I have a few people that I'll be looking at much more closely today in mind, but I'm afraid I won't be able to post my questions for a few hours. I hope O find some good discussion has taken place when I return.

Yes, Valier I did not vote, for I was experiancing technical difficulties, but I suppose its all right because it was the first day and not the fifth, and I wasnt decided on anything truly, so it might be all right....but not again.

But since I probably wont have a chance to vote again when I get home tomorrow....oooo this is a big risk...I will try and vote sometime 8-3 EST at school at the library....well.......nevermind too risky....

Because she has been quiet today: Maybe she wants to see some response to the murder of Lommy before posting? Seems like she waits until the last couple of hours to put her twoo-cents in. I wouldnt outright accuse her now, but she seems to be the most suspicous to me.

Have I retruned to find only one post? This isn't any good. When will society realize that issues can only be solved when they are not ignored? Really, where did everyone go?

I'll agree with Elu, Valier's post have all been very frothy, but she may eventually return to us with something of substance, as she said she would. I'd like to hear in her own words why she has posted this way. *pointed look in Valier's direction*

Elu, you've been very accusatory today of Valier. Is this because of her vote for you yesterday? You have little reasoning in your posts except her frothiness. And this confuses me:

You say you won't accuse her outright, but you'll vote for her to be lynched instead? I understand time contraints, but still, I think I'd rather risk not voting than throw my vote away in such a manner. She's very suspicious, that's true, but I find your reasoning weak.

I'll be honest - one of the more frustrating things to me is when people post and really don't say anything, just joke around or say oh, wow, Thin's dead, let's do something. That is totally unhelpful. It isn't like there isn't anything to talk about - there is. I found plenty to say, and Folwren has made several useful comments. I'm not pointing out anyone in particular since there are a lot of you doing it, but my plea: when you post, try to bring something to the game. Say something useful. If you feel there's nothing to talk about, make something to talk about. Respond. Analyse. Defend yourself. Accuse someone. I don't really care. Just, please, say something helpful. And post. Please.

Sorry for the rant, but it is hard. I know I have to vote early, and I'd like there to be something new for me to consider when I vote, and at this rate nothing much seems to be happening.

I've been looking over Thinlomien's posts, and I'm not getting a whole lot out of them. She mentioned Wilwa, Sleepy, and Valier as being rather suspicious, but she said herself it was mostly a gut feeling. No one really accused her either. I think that's probably why the wolves went after her: she was pretty innocent-seeming, rather useful to the village, and she doesn't leave a trail for us to follow. I'd say that makes a sensible kill.

Folwren's comment about Eonwe being very careful about what he says and does really struck a chord with me. I had mentioned it before in my post, but I was thinking, and I realized that it's very true. "Careful" is something that I would more associate with wolves than innocents. It may not mean anything, he could just be a blind innocent trying not to blunder into the middle of everything and is trying to be careful, but it's showing up on my radar right now as trying to fly under the radar by posting but being too above reproach.

Cross-posting with Roa. Yes, I agree.

[Gandalf_the _white]

well once again my computer troubles are causing suspicsions but i'm used to it already so i'm not that bothered its unlucky that our hunter should die on the first day!! but no-one could guess that and from what i've seen of the posts they were random votes. Because of my computer troubles, whenever i'm online i'll probally vote, so if I make early votes thats why.
Ok this early in the game I still don't see anyone as suspicsious(spl?) but i'm not as good at spotting stuff anyway so my vote will be random.
btw valier yes you are right.

[Mithalwen]

I have to be quick now but I just wanted to say that I am here.... I know a lot of folk won't be and that is a hindrance. I certainly will want to see something substantial from Valier today to give me reason to change my vote from yesterday. I don't have to vote quickly though so ..... thsoe of you who can't be here to the end please still vote thoughtfully. I think Gandalf pointed out yesterday (a brief appearance but at least not a "frothy" one (yay I coined a phrase of popularity!!!) that keeping quiet is a good wolvish strategy (at least for a while) ...however quietness can also just mean unavoidable circumstances - as we discovered to our cost with Wilwa yesterday.

More later .... good to see some proper discussion today -I want to be able to give it the attention it deserves.

BTW Roa - I thought Thinlomien fished with penguins not for them!!!!

[Firefoot]

Well, this is disappointing. I have to vote now, and there has been all of one post since I went to bed.

I had a thought just now. I commented earlier that I thought that Nogrod's vote for Eonwe was strange. However, since I have come to suspect Eonwe a little bit more, I can see a possibility of a wolf voting for another wolf just to take suspicion off of one of them if the other should die - a "look, I voted for another wolf, I must be innocent" scenario.

In fact, that's how I'm going to vote.

Well, gandalf, i don't think they were random votes for wilwa. At least not jenny. I actually kind of blame her for that. Unless she is a gifted herself, she should have taken the rap, instead of weasling out and taking the risk of killing a gifted. That is waht i would have done, assuming I was and ordo. But I do realize the temptaion to stay in your first game ever, so im not blaming you that much Jenny. I just don't like how your acting as a whole. I thik i willl prolly vote for Jenny later today, if nothing else delvelops.

Other tahn that, i can't really find any suspious people. Mith, firefoot and Folwren are all looking pretty good to me, but they are teh type taht would look good if they were wovles, if you know waht i mean. That is just how they would play. So that doen't clear them by a long shot, in my book, but you know, you have to start somewhere.

I agree with Firefoot. That is always one of my big frustrations in werewolf, especially the first day. Everyone comes out blazing away, but waht really do they have to go on, execpt occupations? Nothign really. I don't really mind joking around, as long as it doens't degenerate into accuations. You ahve to have some basis for a vote on day one, and I dont' really mind if it is a joke, because there is nothing else, if you are playing against wolves of high quility. Anyway, that is my two cnets.

I have to get to class. I might be able to vote in another hour, or if not, sometime after 1 pm, my time. It is now 8:56. Class starts in four minutes....
