There may be an innocent explanation, but as it stands it looks very odd.

Normally I'd agree, but since it was Morm who posted it, well I'm conflicted. A bold bluff on his part to declare someone innocent. However it could just be one good old joke from games past or he's trying to lead us off the scent. He's crafty like that. I find Morm extremely hard to pin down until a few days in and even then I'm only sure of him when he's dead, because, well, all doubt is removed when someone bites the big one.

Kitanna -

I can't really be said to have a playing style, since this is my fourth game. However, in my first game I was quite talkative, as those who played with me might remember. The second caught me during midterms, and I was lynched early in the third.

[Rikae]

Farael, well, I can not defend myself and let the accusations stand, or defend myself and be accused of being overly defensive. I'll just be upfront - I was a bit insulted, to tell you the truth. I know I shouldn't be so touchy.
Regarding Morm's goofing around; nothing wrong with joking, but it could be used as a smokescreen to avoid substantive posts while still participating.
Mac I've played with twice before, and he was much the same as both a baddie and an innocent, as far as I could tell. All I can say is I hope he's on the village's side.
Farael came up with the "lynch the quiet ones" plan, though everyone seems to think it was me. I don't approve of that plan, but am not necessarily suspicious of Farael; it seems like it may have been a strategy to get players posting, and it seems to have worked. Without a seer, we especially need to have everyone posting so we have something to go on.
Naria hasn't posted, which probably doesn't surprise anyone.
Eomer and Valier are yet to post.
Nogrod is himself, as far as I can tell, right up to his suspicion of Folwren for agreeing with his argument. (Might I remind you, Noggy, that you suspected my innocent mum for the same sort of reason?)
Folwren looks pretty balanced; an innocent or a clever wolf.
Kath hasn't said much; I will have to consult my lorebook regarding her normal behavior.
Kitanna's timing (posting immediately after I commented on her absence) is slightly suspicious, but it could be a coincidence, or innocent.
Cailin Seems reasonable and calm; maybe too much?
Celuien Seems innocentish at this point
Holby doesnt' seem especially suspicious, but she did go for the "lynch the quiet ones" plan a little too wholeheartedly for me to be entirely unconcerned.
Lalwende I can't decide about, except to say she seems to be quite the savvy newbie.

[Celuien]

So many posts. I'm never going to be able to keep up with everything at this rate.

I see that we have a little battle between morm and Rikae. I don't really make much of it. Such a thing isn't unknown for a pair of innocents in the lorebooks of Werewolf history. There are some rather notorious incidents, including one between my ancestor and an great-grandmother of Cailin's.

mormegil - seems almost normal for mormegil. Though he did say Eomer is innocent, and I automatically suspect Eomer on principle (see below). And this quote is a little odd:

Well, it could be normal Morm joking since we obviously don't have a Seer and because the PM reference is strange, but it still puzzles me a little. So I'll be watching him toDAY...
Kath - also seems to be normal Kath. No alarm bells.
Farael - seems like the usual innocent Farael. And has suggested the lynch the quiet ones plan. Since that always gets debate off to a running start, it seems to be a particularly innocent move.
Rikae - defensive. The height of defensiveness reached seems a little too attention drawing for a wolf at the beginning of a game, particularly considering that it looks like it was only in response to a single retractable vote. Probably innocent.
Nogrod - the usual Nogrod. Helpful, analytic. Not suspicious.
Lalwende - feels innocent. I'm watching mostly because I'm not familiar with her in werewolf.
Kitanna - another who does not alarm me at all.
Macalaure - first post was cited by Farael as possible evidence for shoe making. Don't know. It doesn't seem particularly out of line for day one behavior, and he did suggest the entirely reasonable modification to the lynch the silent ones plan of lynching those who say least when they do appear. *shrugs* He doesn't seem suspicious to me.
Eomer - A clear werewolf. I've suspected him since his lupine ancestor convinced my ancestor to attempt to save him at the last minute my impersonating the ranger. Should be lynched immediately. (Since he's not here yet, this is only a pure statement of old grudges )
Cailín - again, seems calm and isn't really appearing odd to me.
Holbytlass - another who seems innocent.
Folwren - elegant and stoic. Not suspicious.

Which leaves me where I usually am on day 1. Essentially clueless.

[Celuien]

Crossed with Foley. And there's a typo in my post above. "My" where there should be a "by". Garr, no editing rule.

[Kitanna]

This is just a head's up that I will probably be voting in about four hours. I get to go to work nice and early tomorrow and I won't be able to get back on until well after Day has ended.
I'll probably be reviewing the posts for a bit before voting. I really have no idea which way to go.

[Farael]

I think I'm going to be voting tonight as well. I don't know if I'll be able to check in to the 'downs tomorrow before the deadline, and since we have retractable votes...

I have nothing to comment on the latest posts. I'll wait until later on tonight and then cast my vote.

[Valier]

Valier spins softly as if floating, towards the now assembled group of dancers. Her eyes closed, humming softly, she pauses, sighs and stops. "Excuse me? I don't think I quite understand......someone is dead? Why would anyone want to hurt some one at such a lovely place?" She now twirls her hair on one finger as she stands slightly on one leg. " I mean oh yeah now I remember....." Looks confused for a moment. " Poor, Poor Miss Durelin and Captain as well!! What ever shall we do?" Valier quickly looks side to side and gives a little shiver and takes a deep breath
"I know that killing the silent ones may sound like a good idea, but I think it folly. Whatever we say the wolves will certainly take into account. If we say kill the silent ones they will talk lots, if we say kill the loud ones they will back off. As a wolf the easiest way to get by is to talk quite frequently and try to sway votes whan they need to or if villagers want to kill the quiet ones they will just sit back and let them get killed. I say if anyone should go it is because of the way they react to others and the inconsistencies in their posting and opinions. I have had some experience being bad (though I've given it up for a more calmer life) I will try and post more things that I did and noticed with other wolves as soon as I can. I know today is random, but lets at least try and put some effort into it, seeing as we have no Seer or any other gifted to protect or help us. Every choice we make can hurt us if we don't think it through." Valier shakes her head suddenly and stares vacantly into the distance.
"Oh I love this song!! Would someone care to dance?"

[Kitanna]

Macalure wrote a really long and pretty much useless post. If we had a seer I might have thought it was a seer leaving hints, but since there's no such thing... cobbler anyone?

Really? I thought of Mac's first post as nothing more than a normal good old first post for Day One. However in response to Folwren's post:

Like you?

In response he simply answered "Yes", now that I find far more useless than his first post and far more suspicious.

Aside from this it looks like people have quieted down a bit since I was last on. Most posts are who people think are guilty and who is thought to be innocent. I hope there's at least a little more activity before I turn in for the night.
