What a nice vision

Anyway, of course, Nogrod is right... well, I will be a minimalist here and just hope that the random votes will at least end with Day 1. And if possible, of course, that the people who are going to vote yet will avoid them.

I agree with the quit roleplaying. Or at least make sure you have enough game related material to counter the banter, in-character stuff. Otherwise, you can just float through the game - looking like you are being helpful and pro-innocent, when you are truly hiding behind your created character.
All right, Isabell actually continues to scare me: it is basically that when you appear to post, you agree with a few people and then go again. Sort of unconflicting behavior - and you are giving input of your own.

Isabellkya is actually one of those I am considering for my voting. Others could come from the list of people I am watching: wilwa, sally, Eomer... I am more positive on Kent now after he started to post some substance. Let's see, I will think now about my vote.

Is he? Really? If so, then okay. (Well, not "okay", but at least nothing bad with that.)

Edit: x-ed after Lommy

I disagree with Eomer that Rune's vote was the only "sensible" one of the bunch. Rune said his vote was 98% random, how is that sensible? Also, his reason for voting Izzy was she feels 'too careful?' I know now not to expect much out of Day 1 reasons, but I am more worried about someone slapping on a general feeling of uneasiness, then a random early vote, or people making role-playing posts.

I will continue to attempt role playing syle posts, when the time seems right, because afterall the name is Jeremy and I am an entertainer. We all are entertainers of sorts, seeing this is mirth and mirth is fun. The way I see it, we chose characters for a reason, why choose them if we are to not have fun with them?

Edit: was interrupted by having to set up a table crossed with everyone since Nogrod's post

Legate.
What else do you expect me to do while I catch up on the missed material? Simply read it, and act like it was never spoken? xD


Nog - he is his usual self, and I haven't found anything suspicious with him.

Nilp. He is quiet, and he voted for himself. Usual behavior, I'm not suspicious toDay.

Kent. Not toDay. I don't get how the whole deal making works into the game, and finding the Wraiths. Though I've learned my lesson, and will watch him - since he can be tricksy.

Shasta - I've got my eye on you, like I said I would. If your participation doesn't bolster up, you most likely will get my vote toMorrow; if I'm still alive and there isn't a better candidate.

Rune. I don't believe I've ever played with him before, so I can't judge what is typical behavior and what is not. Watching.

Legate and Eomer - I keep reading their posts as from the same author for some reason. They/him make logical points, though they/him seem to be hovering a bit.

Sally. Oh dear. She is Sally. While I don't like her vote for Nog. I'm just going to watch.

Wilwa, Kath, Brin, Nienna. I've no idea. Quiet. I think Brin is the only typical loud one of the four. Will watch for now.

Nerwen, Lhuna, Eonwe, Groin - no idea really.

X'd since Nienna's #80. Fixed a rogue tag error.

Ancient Greek? I can't remember "ph" nor "h" being in the old Greek alphabet, but F is there for certain.

No, of course you may agree on what's been said if you do agree, that's certain. However, don't you have any contributive thoughts of your own? After you spend the time with reading all that's been posted, don't you have anything else to add?

I think he's referring to the letter "Phi", which we transliterate as "ph" (making the "f" sound), though it may have been pronounced as "ph"(as opposed to "f") in ancient (classical) times.

Anyway, this is no time for philology...

Might be trying to throw us off the scent or just messsing with our minds. Anyway, I haven't played with him before so I have no idea how he plays.

A three way tie. I'm tempted to leave it this way.
Because tie's are always fun to watch get rolled.

Then it would be a more random Day one lynching.

Pfft. Wrong push of a button.

Sorry dear. I would rather vote for you; compared to myself or Nog.


X'd since my last post, and corrected an M with an N.

I feel like I want to make a list, but I'm really not sure what I think about people yet- toDay is Day 1, and an exceptionally quiet one at that. We still have half an hour, as I make it.

"ph" is Greek original, "f" is English (or is it just American?).

I am here for the DL, so I can wait, if I wanted to vote somebody quiet, until the very end of the Day if somebody who posted nothing before does not post something of substance (especially after being warned or such).

As to who that would be... well, I am still thinking of Isabellkya. She might be as well my pick #1 for toDay. But still a short time till DL.

EDIT: x-ed with Isabellkya and Kent
I see. . . so you are a moderate version of Nogrod?

I shall answer these two together.

I wrote 98% random, because that is essentially what it is!
I felt that Isabel's post seemed very controlled and carefull, but this is based on 1 single post, that hardly makes a proper case. . .

In my post you could read my selection prosses: I had no proper suspects and did not think I could make it back before the deadline. So I had to decide between not voting or making an early voted based on very little evidence, I chose the latter. Then I decided to go for the posts which I had felt indifferent about upon first reading, you know. . . taking a close look at the ones where nothing catched your eye at first. Here I noticed that Isabel's post seemed sort of fabricated.

So there is reasoning behind it, but it is vote based on so little that I would call it a quite random vote.

EDIT: Cross Posted with plenty of people. . .since post 84 or so

Yes, "Nogrod with human face"

Anyway... as for my voting... I might as well go with my vote for Isabellkya now and be done with it, because I can already see the mass floodposting coming in the last few minutes... but then again, if Nogrod was to be lynched, I would not like to see him go now, so maybe I should hold to see...

Okay, but let's give it a basis then. I guess the floodposting won't do any good anyway.

And here we go.

If permitted tomorrow, I will of course go over the votes in more detail; but for now allow a quick description.

Sally's for Nogrod: dodgy vote, and suspicious.

Lhuna for Legate: that's ok.

Kent for Rune: disagree with it, but wouldn't say it's dodgy.

Nienna for Sally: understandable.

Legate for Isabellkya: also understandable.

I'd like to save Nogrod so I will most likely vote for Isabellkya or Sally, and I'm glad it's down to those two as they are both suspicious-looking to me anyway.
