I see the mere thought of death makes this Legate lose his wits and reason. Don't mention it anyone, it's too upsetting! He'll be no use if we need some steel so we should probably discount him.

Also this Shasta, for whom an evil child couldn't possibly exist.

Ah, humans...

*shakes head* Terrible person. Well, I have heard about those wild folks from the inland who are too close with these wild animals. They are half beasts themselves. No real manners.

But whatever. I would like to see who else is here to speak up.

Let me introduce myself then. The name is Phillip and I am the wealthiest man in these parts. Give me 300 gold pieces for travel expenses and I will gladly finance your rebellion. This offer will not be on the table forever.

Impressive, though I am far from dealing with dealing with people I hardly know. But perhaps after the time spent here we will know each other better and hopefully, then find a common talk. However, I have been able to incite a rebellion on my own and I am sure I will be able to continue it on my own if need be.

By the way, I would like us to generally at least try to say more than just a few words concerning our outside business: after all, now we are facing a situation far more imminent. Whatever important matters await us in our homes, it is irrelevant if we don't get out of here alive.

What would you like us to say? Let's kill Legate? A bit early to be setting yourself up as community leader, methinks.

If you have nothing better to say, then yes. Even that tells the others something about you. I have nothing against discussing private business, after all, we came here also with aims to seek military and trade alliances and I believe those who have not spoken yet would perhaps like to use this opportunity to give us some recount of the happenings in their homelands or whatever. However, I believe it should not be our main concern now, at least while the threat is present. It is now a secondary matter at most.

A deal with whom? Aren't you a bit too eager to suggest that? The baddies would like to make friends from the very beginning, but decent goodies will be on alert and will not trust anyone; at least from the start.

So "dealing" a friendship? Looks like a baddie trying to make alliances with the goodies...

The baddies have every reason to be nice with people they think are influential in any given village. And Legate - if innocent - fits that description well enough.

Many of us would love to trust someone around. But that doesn't happen on the first hours of Day1 - and suggesting a deal on friendship (or suggesting beginning to deal with it) looks very much like a baddie trying to search for alliances rather than an innocent looking for mates... as that would take place only gradually and later in the game, if even then then, openly, I mean...

Don't be too hasty there... Even the innocents may have reasons to shy away and some people sleep when others are awake. But what I was talking about was the overall participation which can only be assessed at the end of the Day...

But anyway, we should keep up the pressure for everyone not to post only once or twice with nothing to say but to actually take part. And that needs to be said in the beginning of the Day.

We know who has contributed at the end of the Day, but let's pressure people to do it already now by keeping up this mood of everyone requiring others to either speak or face the gallows...

I will vote for a "non-participant" toDay - and will call for others to do so as well - unless there is a very good case against someone else. The last game was proof enough...
