Right, I am here, and have read all, it seems most of the people have shown and even contributed, at least to some point. So, here is now a short list of what I think of the situation this far. Already some thoughts are beginning to crystallize (shoton, as people say in my homeland), so I hope by the end of the Day I should have enough to come up with at least partially clear picture.

Kath - so far little input. Kath already makes me feel uncomfortable, as always, and I can't read her. As always.
Nienna - despite the first sort of exchange with Nog, I am inclined now to see her behavior as genuine, and not as a particular intention to fly under the radar. Thus, hope to see her posting more in the future: like I said, this far, the picture seems genuine.
Kent2010 - he did not say practically anything this far. I don't know whether I should take the "let's make a deal" as anything worth considering: actually, I thought that it is a mere in-role talk and thus did not give it any in-game value. Well, though of course, I don't know him, so it may be possible that he would try to win people's favour in this way, "buddying" with them. But anyway, I would need to see more from him to be able to judge anything.
Nogrod - Nogrod is being his normal quiet-people-chasing self, and seemingly something has happened in recent games that made him pursue this habit even more forcefully. Let me say in this place that I agree with him, but this far it seems that hopefully people will post. Nogrod himself does not particularly raise my suspicion: if something happened to him, he's perhaps a bit more of a zealot?
Shastanis Althreduin - posted a bit and even voted, but just a little; so I can only hope that there will be this more participation that he promised in the future.
Isabellkya - stating obvious and dismissing Day 1, well that's quite simple and everybody could do that: I would like to see more.
wilwarin538 - the first impression is somewhat positive, I think she is trying to make some input, I only once again hope that there will be more in the future. It is yet quite some time till the end of Day 1, so let's see...
Nerwen - well hey, I would like some more out-role input...
Nilpaurion Felagund - not have been around yet
Rune Son of Bjarne - he actually reminds me of the typical Rune who weighs arguments of everybody... so he makes me feel him as rather innocent.
Lhunardawen - I guess my dear wife should learn her place, but now I would like to see more than one-(or few-)liner input from her.
Eomer of the Rohirrim - well that is one I cannot quite relate with, okay, he has this "offensive" mask, but overall, I am not quite sure what he's up to. Unclear, I'd say: sort of casting suspicion, or something, or rousing feelings, in a bit unclear way. So is there anything he is okay with, except for hating everybody, or what part of it is actually just roleplaying? Or what part could be casting wraith-y nets with hiding behind roleplaying? (By the way, I think people should slowly quit roleplaying after second, third post they make anyway. Or at least try to not mix the reality with roleplaying to the point that it is unclear.)
Groin Redbeard - not around yet
satansaloser2005 - this far, she's being more or less like her usual self, though it seems to me a bit defensive with her reaction to Brinn's vote, which was, like Brinn said, random. Well, whatever - let's see what comes in the future.
Eönwë - not around yet
Brinniel - all right, seems that she is now mostly busy with RL stuff, so I'm leaving her out for now, hope to see her around more in the future!

Okay, actually, all in all, for Day 1, it is quite good. Might have been worse. I am probably going to leave in a short while, but I will be around perhaps for a minute or two yet. Anyway, I shall be back in the evening (several hours before DL), so then. Hope that by that time, people who haven't posted yet will post, and those who posted will post more so that the picture of the may become clearer to me. So, till later...

Absolutely not, it'd be duller without. I say Lommy wants this game to be remembered and what better way than by impressing our 'strongly-drawn characters'.

So, now, let's see, kill all humans, yes, well...

I think we, as a group, can perhaps make this Nogrod go crazy. Let's encourage this healthy suspicion. Did you know he's been thieving Lhuna's coins?

And pilfering Sally's pockets?

I wouldn't cry if we strung him up.

Here be a thing I'd like to share with the company:

Now, I've seen a deal o' bloody work in my time. Sad to say, thing's ain't always friendly among we corsairs. There be fights over treasure; there be sheer boredom at sea, and most of all, there be rum. Often a man be found dead in his bunk with his throat cut, and nought to say which o' his shipmates did the deed.

And then the whole crew takes a vote over who's to walk the plank. And many's the time we've found out that the poor soul were innocent as a newborn lamb (well, apart from everything else he'd done in his career) and that the scurvy dogs who sent him overboard were the guilty ones. (Or, were he a wrong 'un indeed, they'd been all in it together.)

And what's the thing I've heard dogs like that say so often that the ship's parrot starts copying 'em? Why, just "It's only a random vote... it's only a random vote..."

I be not sure whether 'tis the same among landlubbers, but I be keeping a weather-eye out for this Brinniel now. And I be finding it strange, too, that no one else sees fit to comment– not me husband dear, not His Majesty the King O' Harad, not the sorcerer. Why, even the wench she voted don't seem to mind!

'Tis strange. I need to think on it some more.

In the meantime, who's for a song?

Fifteen Men on the dead dwarf's chest–
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Drink and the Dark Lord had done for the rest–
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!


EDIT: X'd with a host.
