OOC: Listen guys I'm really sorry but my day has just become unexpectedly busy and this is the last chance I'm going to have to be online.

Therefore I will vote as abstaining is never helpful but as I've only had time to skim through the thread I really don't have much to go on. My vote goes to:

++RIKAE

She seems very testy for it being so early in the game. Could be just a defense of her ideas which do seem to be being rather heavily pounded by Boro, but then continuous defense of ideas rather than coming up with anything truly constructive could be wolvish.

And before anybody goes to accuse Kath: That, if anything, is her style!

Rikae also feels like the Wolf Rikae. So, a reason not to vote for her then...

Volo, is this what you meant when you warned us in the Admin thread that your logic will be weird? Because I find this weird, if not even suspicious.

How can you think someone is innocent if you have a feeling s/he is a wolf?

Exactly this. I think somebody whom I think Wolf is innocent, because usually they are innocent.

Yes to you too. Last - and not only last - game I was so far from catching the Wolves as possible, except after I was already dead.

Yup, that's the one. But I'll laugh if Nogrod and Menel are Wolves, again.

What tgwbs said there is true. So, I'll vote for Xyzzy is we don't find a better alternative. After all, he'll probably remain a mystery for as long as he's here...

Hmm, I think xyzzy was sort of more active toDay than he usually is (well, mainly by the vote for Kath) As I said, I don't like lynching the quiet - btw why don't you lynch morm then? It will be the most logical, because he didn't appear yet! (<=this is a joke, of course, but it has logic in it: if I were for the idea you present here, I'd lynch him, since he didn't say anything, point.)

I wouldn't be so sure. I did just that as a newbie wolf myself.

Honesty, as I read over the thread I was composing my own post in my head, and had decided long before I got to Kath's vote that I would say that she was the one who felt most evil to me. Now, seeing that she voted for me, this might appear to be vengence; but what can I say...there was something about her posts that feels very calculated and very tense. It's not much, but it was the strongest hint of wolfishness I had seen so far.
I also don't know why she claims that I'm defending my ideas instead of being constructive. I didn't think I was doing that...or being testy for that matter. I simply don't feel like beating around in the bush this time around.
Actually, though, Kath's somewhat defensive response makes me suspect her less; but I am still uneasy about her.

Xyzzy could be worth voting for today. Mind you, I don't think he's done anything overtly suspicious; but Day1's usually end in the lynching of an innocent who is either quite talkative or behaving erratically - and these will be the very people who will be easier to read later on. I admit, I am on principle opposed to the "I'm quiet, take it or leave it" attitude Xyzzy displays, and if he's a wolf, he might just coast to victory while the rest of us kill those who make more noise. If he's innocent, at least his death means a more active ordo won't die in his stead.

One other thing...I have a feeling Lommy's buttering me up. Watch it, girlie, I haven't forgotten how you tried to steal my man!

Greetings, all folks. I am the DeLegate of Amon Lanc, whose people live now under the shadow of the Enemy, near the gates of his very citadel of darkness, yet they are unbeaten and still free, like the white doves of peace flying under the horrible stormy clouds. For this, I am not surprised by the terror that came upon this village. I see that the discussion of how to stop this threat has already started, so I'm diving in.

First, I think there's been quite a lot of speculation about "quiet ones" and "not quiet ones". Though I have experience from very recent past that indeed these were the quiet ones who were a threat, I will be careful about not getting into the other extreme, that is, starting bloodthirstingly killing all who say nothing or a little. It is true however, that in later time of the game, I will be for lynching people like this, because you'd say they had enough time to speak and they didn't. I mean (as someone already said here before) that on the first Days, I'll back from doing something like that (some people might not even get much online, e.g. Fea today). However, as three or four days pass, I'd also focus on the silent ones, because if they wanted, they could speak. I think it was Rune who already mentioned it here somewhere and I think it's a good opinion (even if it were not good to lynch the quiet ones, when this is said now, people can act according to it and if they don't, they can't blame those who lynch them, if you understand what I mean). On this point only I would point that Isabellkya posted just a in-character post, saying she'd be back (or so I understood it) and then disappeared for good, which is sort of, you know... irresponsible? (at least)

Now to the other debates running here. I think xyzzy's accusation of Kath, whatever hasty it might be, was a good start if nothing else. Personally I think it's not to be classificated rightaway as wolfish, because xyzzy has never acted much and this might just be his style (though speaking of him, I'd like to say that I see he promised to post more and still there is not that much from him).
What I mean by saying it was a good start: because something like that, even though it's not supported much, is at least doing something and not just talking about nothing. Because, after all, there might be some truth on the first poster being a wolf, why not, it can be a good "hiding in the light". Of course then, xyzzy's move might have been just that one of a Wolf waiting for a person he can accuse, but from the little I know of him, I think he can be bolder than that (accusing like this surely brings attention). For the time being, I'm not for building anything against xyzzy, and not even for kath, whose behavior I find "normal" (without anything suspicious).

Who might seem a little bit suspicious to me is Nogrod, or also Meneltarmacil, "ye olde knighte". Of course Nogrod generally speaks much, why not, he's one of the stable "vocal" players. However, this time he seems a little bit sneaky, like a creeping shadow accusing here and there with thought-through intention... (that's the imagination I get from it). Normally he is more vocal and his posts seem sincere. This time I get the feeling it's somewhat slippery.

And Menel...

...he seems, I think, misusing the silence too much. Cf. what I said above about it. So whatever nice ye olde knighte be as charactere, I don't like ye looke of his behavioure.

Other things. I don't understand (as probably many) Durelin's vote. Just a random shot or what? As someone said here, we have no retractions, so what?

Lommy by the way seems also a little un-natural from the structure of her post. But that may be just a feeling. Other people who were spoken about loudly here I feel quite good.

One question to Volo: is that what you meant by saying that you'll be behaving weird here? Doing the opposite than how you feel? Trying to see if your senses always deceive you?
(EDIT: x-ed with Aganzir, who asked exactly the same)

That would be it, basically, for now. Will be back later.
