Werewolf LXXXI: Under the Misty Mountains

Wilwa. Yeah, I realized it after I had already written it, and was just too busy trying to read to delete it. However part of it still stands. Because those who are non-Reps can easily slide into being inactive. They may think it not as important to participate fully, since they don't actually have a vote, and nothing says they should be listened to.

I think if the count is right, those of us left with votes can add those four with singles.
Wilwa, Boro, Foley and Celuien?


X'd with Sally.

Hmm hmm. Which is why it would be good to get quieter players in there, since more active ones will be likely to talk whether they have a vote or not.

This is not even true, Shasticle. You were there at the time, too. Surely you remember that tp was very much around before I voted? More so, in fact, than anyone else?

I trusted him to be himself, which meant that he was going to be manipulative, not manipulated. I don't mind accidentally putting a SoE in power nearly as much as putting someone in power who is going to let the SoE walk over them. You see, if the SoE is in power, they have to behave themselves. They're in the spotlight. If someone who is going to let the SoE walk over them is in power, they get burned, not the SoE who manipulated them. Better to have the manipulators in full view, being forced to take responsibilty for their own actions. No, I didn't - and don't, fully - trust The Puddingtom. But I don't need to in order to know that he ought to be in power. He ought to have the chance to actually make good on his promises, not hide behind the mask that is his lack of power.

Thanks for that "Nerworc". I much prefer it to "Nerwoblin". (Sorry, Fea.)

Now let me explain something: I am fine with phantom being a representative. What I was not fine with was him being the representative. (Or at least ending up with the controlling vote, which was more probable.) Somebody suggested that it's a good idea to give people power and see what they do with it. This is true. However, if one person has total control of the lynch, that takes away much of our chance of drawing any conclusions from it– plus, of course , if that person happens to be an Elf, then we've got no hope of the lynch going well.

I suppose if you'd rather work than mischievously wobble...

That makes quite a lot more sense. As it was, I was having a hard time trying to figure out where your aversion to him as a rep was coming from. I do agree with you that he shouldn't be the only rep. Logically, that really wouldn't make sense.
