What is really so weird about the theory?
Would be an interesting idea, wouldn't it?

Anyway, as I'm off eating and afterwards have some stupid German homework to do I'll go ahead and vote now.

Anyway, I personally choose Nogrod, simply because I really don't like his playing style.
Seems to always enjoy speaking of "we innocents" and also seems to rather make up reasons to accuse many.

So, if I had to vote at this point I would say
++ Nogrod

I know he is the loudest, but I really don't like all this noise he's making and I will take a good look at thim as the game progresses.

Thank's for your vote!

I think this just illustrates the reasons why some people back away from the bussiness we need to do. But we should brave these realities where people who try get voted.

Trying not to see or say anything on Day 0.0 is the worst thing we can do. Sorry Might but we need to get the ball rolling. And the ball will not get rolling unless someone throws it.

Also, it'll be very uncomfortable for a wolf if they suspect other wolves vocally know. What will they do when they learn to know one another? Just change their mind: "I have reconsidered this and am sure that my previous top suspect is actually innocent."

So that's why I think it's a nice tactic for a lone wolf to downplay the importance of this day, and that's why I think everyone should speak and suspect. I don't believe that all wolves are doing that (or that all who do that are wolves), but I can't see it being anything but useful if we discuss as much as possible now. Does it make more sense now?
Thanks, I think I got the point. Even though that seems to my little green eyes as a somewhat predictable tactic.

Of course I didn't, I thought you of all people knew that I've never played with Noggie-Woggie before. It was not about him in particular but rather a more general statement.

3. Eek, I suppose I should suspect. I have not really voiced my suspicions today (possibly because I don't have much of those at the moment). So.

3.1. Groin. His behaviour at some points (not all the time, thankfully) reminds me of my first game ever as a wolf. But then, I have no clear notion of how a first-timer ordo behaves, so I wouldn't like to throw too much suspicion on him as yet.

3.2. Noggins. Just too difficult. If he's like that in all of his games, well, then I am inclined to trust my guts about him.

3.3. Azaelia. Actually, it took me a while to realise who was this Zali everyone was talking about. She does seem weird, but not overwhelmingly so.

4. Aargh I'm running out of time, so a hasty little (green) vote:

++Groin

Bah.

I'm somewhat concerned about how much I and Nogrod agree. Surely, the fact that he thinks like me might imply he is innocent, but he could be a sneaky wolf as well. I'll be paying extra attention to him.

++ROA

If there actually was a lynch, I wouldn't vote her, but now I can, for she actually seems (by a slight mariginal) the most suspicious.

Brinn, Menel and Zali still seem suspicious to me, mainly because of their wolvish approach to things, but I'd rather vote Roa, for in her case, at least, I know it's not the difference in the way of thinking that causes my suspicion.

I'm slightly suspicious of Legate as well, but I acknowledge that it's just a gut-feeling.

I think Agan raised a very good point on that people should comment the previous trial Days in their trial Day and I second her suggestion.

EDIT: xed with everybody after Greenie
