Werewolf LIII: The Republic

[Boromir88]

Looking over those choices...

Have a funny feeling about Lommy, as well as Legate.

Agan I'm not sure how involved she will be.

Greenie won't be as active as the phantom, but I know won't be silent. Also, the phantom has made clear he would still be active in an "advisory" role if need be.

++the phantom for rep

One minute Boro.

Brin- you didn't highlight!

EDIT: nevermind

[Brinniel]

Don't worry, it counts. I fixed it before you even posted.

[the phantom]

So, we have-

The Reps (votes):

Brinniel- (2)
Ilya- (2)
Nogrod- (2)
Boro- (2)
the phantom- (2)
Aganzir- (2)
Legate- (2)

[Boromir88]

That is correct, I'd love to stay and chat, but it's time for me to catch up on other work before I go to bed.

[the phantom]

One deadline down, one to go.

As for me- I have to be up well before the sun tomorrow, so I am going to bed! I'll check in briefly before taking off in the morning.

I should be around quite a lot between 1 PM EST and 7 PM EST. I'll be absent for a couple hours after that, but back well before the deadline.

If any of you Reps are going to have odd schedules, it would be good to know ahead of time.

[Boromir88]

I will be absent from for a good chunk of the morning and afternoon, but will be around from about 6 EST until the deadline.

[Ilya]

I won't be about until about 5 EST. But then I'll be around until the deadline.

[McCaber]

So I apologize for not voting. Schoolwork ambushed me two hours before DL-1.

I am confident in our Day 1 reps, though (as far as Day 1 confidence goes, that is). A good mix of talkers and ponderers.

(For the record, my vote probably would have been for Legate.)

[Thinlómien]

Alright. So our reps are Brinniel, Ilya, Nogrod, Boro, the phantom, Aganzir and Legate? Not bad. The one I voted got through and none of them (except possibly tp) strikes me as suspicious. Although, I'm still wondering whether I like the fact that a majority of the elected are loud, experienced players. (Yes it's me who's saying this...) I don't doubt their wit, but I only fear this will lead more and more to the village being divided in two parts - the loud expert elite and the less experienced or less loud ones. Also, someone talked about a charismatic wolf representative leading the village... I generally dislike that kind of talk, but I can't help thinking about that right. Well, whatever, I trust my own ability to stay critical...

Then, another thoght... voting someone as a rep is surely a great way of buddying up fellow villagers. That's why the Agan-Brinn and Legate-phantom "alliances" make me wonder... I mean, of course it's just natural too to reward trust with trust and one is subconsciously inclined to trust someone that trusts them and blah blah blah, but such vote exchanges are curious. I'm not sure what to think about them.

I'm right about what exactly? That they form a triangle of sorts? That much is pretty obvious...

Well see the current rep situation and see for yourself... Agreed that it might be a bit dangerous- admittedly I was only looking at it in the suspiciousness perspective.

Morm makes me very uneasy. But I think that's just a reflex...

Why do you ask? It should be obvious that different wolves probably employ different tactics. Also, it should be obvious I may come up with possible wolf tactics but I can't just name one they're most probably all going to use.
But now that you made me think about it, I think many wolves would be tempted just to lay low, because the reps will be questioned over their decisions over and over.... but by no means all the wolves - although the thought doesn't quite cheer me, I think it's even quite probable that one of our newly elected reps is a wolf.

And what if my name isn't on the list at all? *refrains from adding any kind of smiley because of the silly limit*

I will probably do a list to order my thoughts about people next...

PS. Now that tp is elected a rep, I feel inclined to vote against a filibuster...
