Werewolf XLII: The meaning of life forever

[THE Ka]

Yay! Glad you are here.

I was weird and decided to wake up at 2am my time, but I had to go to sleep after an hour or so or I'd passout on the keyboard. Sorry.

I just wished to point this out when we consider the playing taking place on the first trial day, especially since all three of them were seasoned players, but I can understand clearly trying to get back up to speed on the ever evolving ww game. Since, for example, I don’t know half the roles sometimes without reading them over and over again, thankfully this game Volo was nice enough to explain things to an old daft and sparse player.
Anyways, even if Roa was deciding to be mellow, I wouldn’t doubt her cleverness too easily because of this. Though, with the trial day she gave me more reason not to hold an over eager amount of suspicion about her. Others seemed inclined to suspect her on this account, but she clearly states the technical terms why. So, I don’t see this post as being one to ring bells of alarm.

As for Menel, I in some sense want to think he is just Ordo or gifted, and that he is just playing in his own style which sometimes might cause others to take what he jokes too seriously. Though, the pre-trial day of making the loud vs. quiet mini-argument (is there such a word? It wasn’t everyone’s argument though) suddenly the object of concern (even if it is to disband it) seems rather wolfish, since it is a good distraction. For that, I do have concern about the actions of Menel.

As for McCaber, I can see reasons why he would want to really, play it safe. Though, I’m not going to let the ‘newbie’ air cloud anything around him, since there have been first time players before who’ve really changed the course of the game, especially aided for better or worse, by the nodding off that ‘well, they’re just new’. Personally, when I think someone plays for the first time they might be new to werewolf, but I don’t think they are new to the concept of hiding and talking artfully, on any level of pragmatics. So, I am going to keep an eye out for him, just because I’m ‘nice’ and think he has far more to show just yet, and explain.

I don’t have much of an opinion on Legate just yet, but after reading his later posts, this especially stuck out for some reason:

Which is true, but the innocent wouldn’t say it flat out. Plus, anyone could claim to be anything as of now, whether they knew another’s statement was true or not. It doesn’t mean the other person knows who they are.
This kind of bothered me a little, but I have far more suspicion on Menel at the moment than one little thing by Legate. Since, we all end up doing little things in werewolf that we look back on say, ‘Doh!’
As for the voting of Legate, that does have suspicion, but I think it might have been done to avoid as what happened the second day, plus there was a general rush to the vote. Which can be good if you’re a wolf and want an easy way out of things, then to just bandwagon and hide for the next six days going over things and what to say.

But I'd hate to actually vote him with that reason, so please, Shasta, talk.

And lastly, I really have to agree on this. Shasta, please if you could say anything it would help, just opinion wise. It doesn’t have to be a polished theory or anything, though it would be nice if you said something. I don’t see the reason in voting because of this, because if anything I would want to vote because of a reasonable logic.

I'm sorry about leaving now, but I have a class in the morning and I should be able to be back in about 2 1/2 hours or so, and maybe later on after that if there is enough time.
Sorry about this, it looks like our day's access was completely chopped up.
