Sorry this will be quick because I must get back to my deliveries (ie the RL work connection is as slow as a lame tortoise). However I will be around later and up to the deadline so I do not have to rush my vote.

I am sorry that RL has made Firefoot have to rush hers though, since on the surface she does seem slightly more suspicious than anyone else - posting first always looks suspicious to me. Also she has posted a lot and slightly contradictorily - first saying that there is no plan then suggesting we limit the vote (which as I am sure our resident professor could confirm) is unlikely to improve our chances.

However she admitted this herself so it may be that she was merely trying to stimulate debate. I hope she won't take this too personally. I am very grateful for the high esteem that she holds those of us that work in plain trades (especially since our village is so highly populated with those who work in the more glamourous but less steady entertainments industry).

Jenny can confirm that my taxes were filed accurately but only just on time. I need the deadline to be really scary before I can face the tedious paperwork. We bakers find numberwork hard (our dozen is 13 afterall!) .. so I really will need my attempts at statistics checking.

Today is bound to be random. We can not expect our Seer to be explicit so early. I think it is far too early for a voting strategy. We may well not find a wolf today - statistically we are most likely to choose an innocent (fortunately a Gifted is the least probable) but today's discussion may well be useful later on.... so it provedfor one of my kin in a similarly afflicted village recently.

I hope there will be a lot more to go on on my return. I feel mean for concentrating on Firefoot now but her posts have given most scope for discussion.
