Werewolf LIII: The Republic

[Brinniel]

Oh geez, so many posts. No wonder I always have such trouble keeping up on Day 1.

When it comes to voting for a rep...

I think I'd like to avoid voting for one of the louder players for toDay. Innocent or not, some of these players talk so much that it becomes easy to overlook the quieter players. Which may be a reason why the louder players often seem to die first and the quiet players don't get noticed until later when you only just realise they're not dead yet. At the same time though, I don't think I'd want to vote someone who's too quiet (as it seems others are contemplating). Because if all the reps were silent players who only made one or two posts, then I don't think very much progress will be made towards lynching a wolf. So perhaps someone in between loud and quiet.

And when it comes to picking a rep, it's obviously gotta be someone whose judgement I trust. Of course I want to vote someone I think is more likely innocent than not, though that may pose difficult at this early stage when I seem to think everyone looks innocent.

As of now, my top two candidates are Kath and Shasta...two players who make good judgements and whose voices haven't been strongly heard yet (while Shasta's made a high number of posts, I wouldn't consider him a loud player as far as substance goes).

Though I could also consider Aganzir who also makes wise choices, at least when she's innocent. I usually can get a good read off of her though this time not so much since she's only posted twice (what's up with that?). But voting her as rep would be one way to get a better read of her.

I could also consider voting Di, who made such an excellent campaign for herself.

I'm going to eat, but I'll be back soon. Parting thoughts:

1. I'm having a bit of an issue with Legate's voting stance, even though it's been thrashed out on the thread already. There was one post I read that sounded sensible, but then another that made me go "Huh?"

2. I like Boro's voting stance; it's somewhat like my own. When I vote for a Rep, I want it to be someone who thinks similarly to me; the whole point of voting a Representative, after all, is to have your voice heard, so if you vote for a Rep whose thoughts are drastically different from your own, whether or not they seem to be trustworthy...

All in all... I am in a bit of anti-Nerwen mood (stated above, I am used to her posting, and posting sense: just what was that?), and in a bit of anti-Brinn mood (this "large front of support" simply does not sit well with me, taken that Brinn, from my part, gets no reading) and Shasta-worry mood (somehow, I get the feeling he is very randomly picking things from the thread even though he just skimmed through it - or so is the impression it makes on me). Anyway... should vote for a rep soon... phantom! Answer me. Would you accept, if I give you my vote?

I would certainly do everything possible to bring about a favorable outcome for the village. But of course I would require one additional vote to become a Rep. If you think that I am likely to gain that vote then feel free to go on. But if you don't think it's likely, I would not want you throwing your power away.

I'll have to give Brin and Green a read-through later. If I'm remembering right Brin didn't give me anything yet, and I didn't like Green for some reason. But as I said, I need to dedicate a reading to them. Perhaps in an hour or so.

Hmm... I was taking a look on how this is looking this far... Brinn, that's for granted. Then Nogrod, Boro, Lommy... all I consider innocent-ish, not sure if I'd vote them all, I have perhaps a bit for and perhaps a bit against every one of them... Ilya, I don't know anything about (yet I agree with those who say she seems reasonable), but perhaps she has support from somebody else...

There is still a large bunch of people going to vote, but I wonder if it is good to spread the votes yet, or not... though better if we have five reps than three, if you get my meaning. Being in the position of the "beginner", I may give some good starting position to a person to whom I give one vote...

In either case, I will be careful about giving too much executive power to one person: that means, let's hope all the Wolves are not Americans.

I actually have very good reasons, and would be even in the mood of voting for Nogrod. That would mean easing up things a lot, for certain. Still, if I only knew how others are going to vote... if tp is likely to get at least one vote more, indeed... (or again, if I knew he's going to get fifty votes, I'd also have no problems with choosing).

What about flipping a coin? Last time, it worked... sort of (well, I was picking from two Innocents. Hey, while, this time it would be good )

Nay, let me see - if there is any really good time in the game to vote tp, it would be possibly now. Later, if I were unsure, I would pick less... hmm... eccentric people. Now I am only maybe somewhat not entirely sure about where tp's suspicions would be going (says the one who said it does not make any difference... apparently, this game is full of switches on my part). As for what Nog says about people he suspects or not, he actually fits well the patterns of mine: that is, thinking innocent those I think innocent - more or less - and I can go with most of his opinions. But then... just, heck, let us get moving. Nogrod is probable to get a vote anyway, I think - and about the phantom, then I say, let us see. ToMorrow, he, or anybody else, still can be switched - that's the advantage of the democracy.

So:

++The Phantom for Representative

*gasp* I actually did that. Tp, I hope you are going to keep that signature of yours for long. For it proves: "Kdo to říká, ten to je, k tomu se to šikuje" ("Whoever says it, is one who does it, to him all's moving, to him all flocks it"). First to deny it, first to do it.

Goodbye and see you in a short while tomorrow.

EDIT: x-ed since phantom's last one. Okay, I say.

I've finished two more, and I'll update Shasta-

Shasta- I like that he is being vocal, but he is much different than the last time I saw him. But if I'm not mistaken he was very busy last time, so that is to be expected. Due to my lack of feeling on him I certainly don't feel like I can trust him, but I'm certainly not feeling like being rid of him. He gives me someone to talk to in the early hours.
Boromir- I have not received a full read on him yet, but his vibes thus far have been innocent.
Nogrod- I find myself suspecting him for no reason whatsoever, but he makes sense and his talk seems to make for a productive and thoughtful atmosphere, and so I am more than willing to push my weak feelings of mistrust aside for now.
Lommy- Nothing she's saying is setting off alarms, so I'm fine with her for now.
Legate- I swing back and forth on Legate when I read him. But for now, see my reaction to Nogrod.

Okay, that's all the read-throughs for now. I covered everyone with double-digit posts.

morm feels... busy. I can't read him yet.
