Also, I don't find the thought that it could help to change somebody's mind impossible, although it's quite unlikely since you cannot make a proper case for/against anyone if you have to post every two minutes. If there were more than one person of the like mind it could work, though.

Ah, but the problem is precisely that I don't want self-confident innocent villagers grasping the situation to their hands and doing something reckless. I prefer it that no one has such destructive power. And as for affecting people's opinions by flood-posting, you don't need a filibuster to do that, especially as a filibuster is most probably just going to annoy people.

No, it isn't outrageous, but I think there's a huge difference. I think a rep fails his/her responsibility if she doesn't vote, whil s/he only fails the wishes of those who voted for him/her if she votes against their wishes. A rep's duty is not to oblige his/her voters, but his/her duty IS to take the responsibility s/he's given.

I cannot explain it any better than that people may seem innocentishly suspicious, or to borrow your own terminology, not everything is black and white.

It usually indicates that, but not always. And I have to admit that I was maybe flip-flopping there but I still meant and mean both of those things I said....

Tsk, tsk, one step futher and it's putting words to people's mouths...

Although I don't really like Agan's smooth withdrawal from her suspicions against me at all, I'm now less frustrated with her accusing me stupidly and she doesn't strike me as horribly wolvish. I'm keeping an eye on her though. Especially as her first suspecting Legate, then expressing surprise and maybe slight disapproval of the great (here we go again ) suddenly appeared suspicion against him and then voted him. That's what I'd call flip-flopping.

Also, I don't like morm's and Ilya's suspicions of Legate. They just don't look genuine. There's also something fishy in tp's manner of sort of prancing around behind the scenes (can't phrase it better...).

Boro's long ramblings on McC make me think he's probably innocent. Just because he was killed last Night.

Hmmm... I have to go soon and won't be back until the next phase... And I'd love to make a list before that, and I have to choose my rep... oh jolly I'm gonna be busy...


edit: xed with Boro's #501 and onwards...
