Just a quick note in referral to Glóanna...

What the wolves would like to do? To jump on any even remotely believable sounding suspicion in the very early on and back it (like she did with the three dwarves stating in-character in the beginning, following Bori88). My forefathers have used that tactics pretty succesfully many times. Or trying to crerate a feeling of random (like she did with going for the rhyme-stuff).

I'm not saying I'm suspecting Glóanna a lot, but surely she has managed to raise my eyebrows with her latest. Even if I hold the overall theory quite plausible. The thing is in the way she seemed so happy to cling into it and even use about the exact words Bori88 used... that sounds a bit suspicious.

You should vote for Oddwen, then...

Dori88 = Bori88 = Nori88 = Sorry88.

Nofur seems in a hurry to start killing people. But I guess it's kill or be killed.

Hah, I didn't even know Kathin had posted...but that's pretty standard for her. Which is always worrisome.

In an obvious attempt to be mildly helpful, I shall list who we have not heard from yet, in plain old Username Runes:

Nilp
Naria

Aha, two silent N-Wolves... Obviously Nogrod is the third.

Nogrod, from what I know, always gets away with being Nogrod...I say we lynch him for being Nogrod, or for getting away with being Nogrod.

Add Lommy to that list.

Naturally I forgot her because she was at the top of the players' list.

I'm going to have to vote soon and there is not much for me to go on right now. No one has said anything to truly make me suspect them, the only one to come close is Dori88 and even that doesn't have me overly suspicious of him.
I have about half an hour and then well, I can't really say how I'll vote.

**Any name with () is for the help of clearing all the confusion Eomi (Eomer) is having with names.**

I'm sorry Anguirelshield (Anguirel), sir, for being too jovial for your hard-nosed personality.

I see some people are having trouble with what I'm doing here, so let me explain...wait there's not enough time, so let me sum up.

On Day 1 I go by measuring tone and genuinity, and do a process of elimination. It is strictly on a post by post basis (meaning people change throughout the day therefor my thoughts about them may also change). Oh and Meneltarbo Baggins (Meneltarmacil) nothing I do is random. I always have a reason, just because I don't say a reason don't mean I don't got one. I like to keep the workings of my own mind to myself as much as possible. Of course to get anything constructive done we all must share and discuss our feelings...but on Day 1 I don't like to give a lot of info out as to what I'm thinking as that makes it all too easy for the wolves to use and manipulate me down the road. As far as my process of elimination business...if someone seems innocent to me, I mark them off as not going to vote for them on that specific day. So far today, Durin the Deathless (Farael) and Dancing Spawn of Fundin (Spawn) seem genuine, so they're not going to get my vote...and that's all I'm going to say.

Also, Bofgrod (Nogrod) is going to most likely not get my vote today. I see that what he posted earlier today was an attempt to get information on people. And the way he's sounding it looks like he got the information he was looking for. If he be innocent it should greatly help us. If my feeling is correct there shouldn't be any reason for a wolf to come out and try to get information about people. They already know who's innocent and who's not, they don't need to come out and post things to try and figure out who people are. They come out and post to see where the village consensus lies.

Which leaves me to agree with him that Gloanna (Kitanna) looks especially suspicious for the very reasons he has said.

Also Voloin (Volo) worries me for his post saying I'm confusing and I'm giving out coded messages.

I hate having to vote so early, but this will be the only day I will do so.

So now here's the frustrating part for me. I hate random votes and I now whatever vote I cast now will most likely be seen as a "safe vote", but what I hate more than random voting is no vote at all. Sooo... I said before I have no real suspects or at least nothing serious. Anyone I've accussed thusfar is pretty much based on role. I'm uneasy of Dori88, but not enough to vote for him.

I found his post about being sure of Spawn and Farael's innocence unsettling, but with his latest post my mind is slightly (and I do mean slightly) eased when it comes to him. At least for now.

So to vote I am left with little choice aside from picking a number and finding the player who it belongs too.

Boromir88, while I do understand why keeping things a secret from the wolves is a good thing, it also creates its own problems. For instance:
-There's no reason to trust what you're saying if no explanation is given.
-Making such a claim could be seen as a good way for a wolf to avoid giving an explanation if there's no good explanation to give.
-If the wolves kill you overnight, your secrets die with you.

I'm really not convinced you're a wolf. However, I do not entirely trust you either.

Also, Kitanna appears a little wolfish to me, with her jumping on Boromir88's suggestion that Rune, Nogrod, and Farael were wolves. B88's suggestion clearly appears to be a typical Day One joke, and doesn't really appear that suspicious to me regardless of whether he's a wolf. I'll most likely vote about an hour or so before the deadline so I can see if anything else develops later on.
