hmmm... i would have to agree with Manwe there... Legate is now on my list... but at the bottom, but it could be just a character flaw

but for now, my main thoughts are still on Saucepanman, and thus so must my vote be for i may not get another time to say it...

++SaucePanMan

again as usual, apoligies if i have made a mistake

I agree, it is a game. So maybe fun bantering should be a part of it (and I think it is, whether it "should be" or not. But you question someone's denunciation of bantering, while you have not only denounced analysis but also pretty much deemed it "wolfish."

Thank you for the analyses, Roa. I actually find your analysis of Hookbill most interesting to me because I can't say I've considered him much, unfortunately. He played Day 1 undeniably safe, and asserted mostly typical humour and "banter," keeping his posting light. Without accusations - with evidence backing them or no - or even serious *investigation* of people, there's no lines crossed, no one's offended, no trails. And on Day 1, you can get by with that.

We'll have to see if he continues to try and do so toDay, I suppose.

I'll be back as soon as I can (if I have a brain left after more Latin and some calculus in the mix). The Garin voters need serious looking at, as well as the no voters.

Oh...and anyone want to venture a post-by-post analysis of Roa?

Whee! Takin a break!

So... where is everyone? *sigh* Not the quiet thing again....

Please, to everyone, the last thing we need to get into is a debate about what should or shouldn't be part of the game. Banter, role-playing or whatever else, everyone has their own opinions on it. A debate about it will only get ugly, fast, and people's feelings will get hurt, and it will all just be bad. TRUST ME. Save the critiques on how people played until the post-game.

For now, the only banter that bothers me is Hookbill's, and that because it's 90% of his contribution to the discussion from Day 1.

Good luck! I'm trying to beat Nogrod in post count this game.


I'm going to start on the other Garin voters, since no one else seems up to the task.

Well, I do not do post-by-post analysis and I am a Garin voter, that might make me baised when doing the analysis.

Anyways I did not spot anything overly suspiciouse when I looked over the posts, I guess I will have to read through them again as having no new to add is normaly not apprichiated.
