Anyone can answer this, but in particular I'd like to know what the remaining reps think about Glirdan and Boro.

Even that, though, in his case isn't suspicious. What Day 1 ever goes by without Phantom suggesting some crazy plan that would leave him with all the power, and that no one in a million years would go along with? Especially in games like this, where the dynamic is different, he waltzes in with some idea along the lines of "I'm the bestest and the smartest, do what I say and we win", so we really can't suspect him for that. (and he greatly amuses me and Timmy, I'd hate to see him go so soon)

Now regarding Boro and Glirdan? Boro seems fine to me, though I haven't had as much time to really look at people as I'd like, but his reactions to Phantom are to be expected in my opinion, and nothing really seems evilish to me. Then Glirdypie, well his logic always seems rediculous to me, considering how well we mesh in RL I still have no idea why we clash so much in WW . So I'm going to give him a Day or two before I pounce on his logic. So no, I shall not vote for either of them.

Now Sallycakes and Lottiepop, well I hearts them greatly *snuggles*, but would be willing to lynch them both. At the moment the way Lottie defended Phantom so much earlier seemed strange to me (I think it was Nerwen she was talking back and forth with, and the whole exchange was just so weird), so I'd be leaning more towards her, she just seems so sneaky.

I feel very good about X'ed, Shasta and Noggins, and fairly neutral about the others.

I'll be on for the next half hour, and then I have to vote.

x'ed with Phantom, Izzy, Phantom, Izzy

So that there's one on this page.

Lommy for Lottie (3)
Green for Sally (2)
Nerwen for Sally (3)
Nerwen for Boro (1)
Celuien for Boro (3)

Lottie- 3
Sally- 3
Boro- 3

STILL TO VOTE:
Phantom: 3
Izzy: 2
Wilwa: 2

Hmm, nice little tie going on at the moment. And basically it will be whoever of those three Phantom wants to lynch, since he outweighs Izzy and I (unless we vote the same).

x'ed with Izzy

I have 5 minutes before I need to go.

Izzy, who are you planning to go with? I may split my votes between Lottie and Sally and see what happens. But I don't think I'll be going for Boro.

Ok, so I'm going to do this than, since I don't know which of the two Izzy really prefers to vote for, and I'm cool with lynching both:

++Sallycakes++

++Lottiepop++

That way if Phantom goes with Boro (like he seems to be wanting to do) and Izzy feels like lynching one of the girls instead, then she can still accomplish that and get a double lynch.

Meh, now I don't like Wilwa either (her vote, and what she says about Glirdan).

Izzy- any chance at all you'd go with Glirdan? We'd need all five of our votes to shoot him into the lead.

Just realized, Izzy- if you vote for one of the girls and I vote for Boro, it'll be a double lynch.

I assume it Loslote, because I don't believe any of your posts prior to your vote indicated that you had given it thought. In your most recent post, you even admit to not thinking of the implications until after you voted.

The second part of Wilwa's post I find eyebrow raising. Seems to be she is for a double lynch.

Right now I'm leaning more Loslote than anything.

X'd with phantom.

With four minutes left, it didn't give me time to look at Glirdan's post in isolation, even though there were only five, since I was responding to Loslote.

I would rank my preferences of those five as::
Loslote
Sally
Boro
Glirdan
Wilwa

I said nothing of the kind. I did not think of the implications while I was bantering. I then thought of the implications, and voted because of the implications.

Well, if you're planning on voting Lottie, then I'd say you have all the power, as I have no interest in forging a tie on Day 1.

Risky business this is. I wish I had six votes and could just slap them on Glirdan or Wilwa and get this over with.

That is a good point Wilwa, and it looks like phantom will have the deciding vote(s).

I can just feel this ending up in a tie, and phantom voting Boro all by himself with all of his votes, and Boro would be lynched.

All of this talk about not letting phantom get power crazy, and look where we are.


X'd with phantom x2

Why do you assume that, just because I voted early, I did not give my vote thought?

I believe you responded to Nerwen of how could she distrust Phantom on banter. Well.. how could you trust him on banter?
This is redundant; you already asked this, and I already answered.

Yes...yes, that's about right. How is this a problem? If someone were to accuse you for flawed reasons, I'd defend you, too - even though I trust you about as far as I can throw you at this point.

You seem to think that information relies solely on what occurs during Night. Which is ridiculously .. flawed and lazy. Your entire stance is rather odd, and it definitely shows you are up to something - but when aren't you. It also seems like you are faking here, and I question how it is productive and good for the Cave.
Again, why do you assume I did not give my vote thought? This is rude and condesending. Simply because there were fewer posts does not affect my own ability to think and vote the way I thought would best help the village.

Early on was banter. I did not think about the implications of voting him; I simply went along with the 'oh, that phorc, he's so silly' state of mind. After I thought about the implications, I realized that voting him was actually not a bad idea - for reasons I later stated. Honestly, I thought it was obvious if people thought about it - give phorc a chance to have the spotlight, let him prove himself, and try to get a feeling for an inherantly slippery player. Since I didn't think much exciting would happen (and, as it turns out, the only real discussion later was about my vote), I decided to go ahead and vote. I expected to go to sleep hours before I actually did, which, sadly for my mental state the next day, did not happen.

Have you never played with me? Start of Day 1, I'm, for lack of a better word, bouncy and happy. Usually at the start of most Days I'm bouncy and happy (unless we've lost a Gifted, in which case I'm bouncy and sad).

So...what? We elect people we don't think will do what's best for the village for fear that the wolves will kill the people we honestly think will be good representatives? That's like, in a normal game, ignoring someone who makes sense in favor of someone who doesn't because you don't want to lose the player you think is making sense. In that case, you've already lost the chance of utilizing the player's good ideas, and instead are following someone who could well be on the evil team.

EDIT: xed with the Remaining Reps
