Secondly this one from Gwath discussing Rikae caught my eye and the things he has been doing after it have raised my alarms a bit more. (underlining mine)

My first question was the following: are we now supposed to think that as Gwath now plays clearly actively (raising points about people) he is not a wolf as when wolf he (always?) plays low key? Interestingly enough his post began with suspecting Rikae somewhat just on the grounds of her trying to declare herself innocent - and now he does about the same thing himself in the very same post albeit indirectly!

But it gets more interesting.

Nerwen pointed out that Gwath knows about Rikae playing a wolf and wondered why Gwath bothered to ask about it? And Gwath answered:

I was thinking out loud - or, rather, on-screen.
Which I find quite a peculiar one as answers go. So his question that he made about Rikae after his own indirect "I'm innocent" is somewhat fishy then? It makes me wonder at least.

But the last one is the one I got worried about.

Now comparing this with the other underlining in the first quote really sends shivers down my spine. So when he's a wolf he's quiet and now he has to explain that as he has to go it doesn't mean that he is being flying under the radar...

Because I have enough faith in his ability to figure out why, and because there's always a really great chance that I'm right.

Btw. This Con is not only quiet in regard of the quantity of speech but also in quality. Too many I think have gotten through this Day with no effort at all just bantering or being IC. And to top it: the old "Day1 hater's club" has clearly been re-established from the grave where it should have stayed for ever after!

Anyway. I think the voting stands now at:

Rikae -> Sally
Shasta -> Boro
Brinn -> Mac
Gwath -> Rikae
McCaber -> CoD
Lalwendë -> Brinn

So six votes, six candidates...

EDIT: X'd with Isabell & Fea...

Corrected Vote-count:

Rikae -> Sally
Shasta -> Boro
Brinn -> Mac
Gwath -> Rikae
McCaber -> CoD
Lalwendë -> Brinn
Fëa -> Boro 2

My top four(ish) votees:
Boro: he just seems too together, I mean it's day one but he seems....blah, I should have had a longer nap. Alternatively, I know he's a slick little son of a Slitheen so if he worries me a little he worries me a lot, know what I mean?

Captain: I've played with a few Captains before, and it's always interesting. Harkness always wants to "meet new people" and that creepy woman from UNIT had an obsession with left-hand turns. This Captain? Votes, but doesn't. At the same time, though, I've never played with Captain before, so I'll just leave this alone, at least for toDay.

Brinn: Overapologizingish. Basically just covering my bases.

Rikae: Disregarding the fact that she voted me. "I'm voting (insert name here) but if people jump onto it they're probably wolves." Hmmmm....let's consider this shall we?


My first choice is probably Boro, with the other three close behindish and a few others that I didn't have time to mention. And I still didn't get my nap, dang it.

EDIT: x'd with Fea


EDIT #2: Sorry. That should be x'd SINCE Fea. Fea's vote, to be exact. Just so it's clear.
