I really want to go to sleep in an hour.

Could you Eönwë answer to my questions before that since you are one I'm considering.

I'll go, have something to eat and take a shower. Back soonishly.

Another list, to help me get my thoughts in order and to see just who I want to go back and look at since I haven't had time.

Aganzir - No alarms, I'm glad to see she's here today.
Boromir88 - Seems sensible.
Brinniel - Still innocent.
Diamond18 - Where is she?
Eönwë - No read.
Gil-Galad - No read.
Greenie - Not much of a read, but what I've seen of her so far I think innocent.
Gwathagor - No read.
Ilya - No read.
Legate - He's pinging my alarms a bit.
Lommy - She and Agan seem like our brawling innocents.
Kath - Seems helpful, but in the shadows. I'd like to hear more.
McCaber - No read - hardly surprising. Pops in with a comment and pops out again.
mormegil - Seems sensible.
Nerwen - Still innocent.
Nogrod - Probably innocent.
Rune - Seems sensible.
Sally - No read.
Shasta - Obviously a wolf.
The Ka - Ka is one I'd like to go back and look at.
the phantom - Obviously a... well... hmm. I think he seems innocent-ish, but you never can tell with this guy.

Hmm... And yet again there's a Lommy-Aganzir thing going on. The last time I saw something like this there turned out to be something to it. Let us hope it isn't a waste of time in this village either.

That said I almost wish we could keep them both around and let them continue gunning, for I believe that will help us get a feel for them after the day is done and we can go back and read the posts without time constraints.

At this point I'm thinking I may have to vote more on principle than feeling. I haven't gotten to read as much as I had hoped. Schedules don't always go as planned.

I'm only likely to try a filibuster to save my own life, and as I do not appear to be under threat currently, I would say you don't have to fear a filibuster.

I see Rune showed up late and has started campaigning to be a Rep. Naturally we should kill him for it.

And after reading more from Boro, I've decided to consider him innocent for exactly two days. Just because.

Green creeps me out a little, but maybe it has nothing to do with this game.

Aganzir... she's either playing well as a WW or she's innocent. So I'd like to give her a pass for today.

We can't all be grumpy like you, no matter how hard we try.

But seriously, I'm just feeling a little carefree is all. It's Day 1, and when it's over there will be so much to look at and examine! And guess what? I'm off of work tomorrow and Friday, and so I'll be able to examine until my eyes fall out!

Because of this I figure I'll try and not be too serious this first day and just thrash around a bit and then when it's all done I can put the thinking cap on and look things over.

If it would make you feel better I could start being insulting.

Jerk.

Okay, just to let you know, I am here (for already some time) and now I am at the end of page 7, resp. the beginning of page 8. Try not to post too much and I should eventually be able to post here... hopefully soon.

Ah, so Gil is here. He usually figures out who the WWs are, but he also tends to get himself lynched. Careful laddie. You sit well with me right now due to your location. Strong Bad is awesome.

The Shasta-Gil exchange made me laugh. That's enough for me to keep Shasta around despite not trusting him yet.

Excellent question. The explanation of post #324 is quite accurate. But note that the logic of picking Legate is due to the fact that he is the one that is left after I rule others out, and also because he voted for me.

In other words, it doesn't stem from trust or anything of the sort, and so I picked him as my Rep because he simply had to be picked- not because of any strong desire to select him.

That attitude comes out in my selection post. The "sigh" is basically saying, "I'm not allowed to pick the only person I trust (me), and really my choice is already made for me, and I have no clue if this is good or bad, but it needs to be done anyway. Oh well. I hope things turn out well."

Yeah, I know- that's an extremely meaningful sigh, isn't it?

Hmm... What's something that I can do to turn my name into something cool like that?

I'm one of those who were a bit uneasy with Gwath's vote for me as a representative. The contraditory nature of that vote was clear indeed. And it could be looked from the devil's advocate viewpoint quite easily and deemed evil.

Like: "I know he tends to go after the submarines in the early Days so why not vote him to be a rep and say that the vote is for keeping an eye to the non-posters" - at the same time rubbing me the right way to make me choose someone else from the quiet-ones instead. So if he thought I was going after the more silent people anyway (and there was a good chance I was going to be voted as a rep anyhow looking at the posts before that point of the game) what would have been a better way to avoid my eye (well, it was a bad way if that was what was intended as I noticed it... a good try? )?

But I have to give Gwath credit for his question for tp. And I'm still a bit bothered about phantom's first Day "maybe I requested to be an ordo with my special relationship to Fea" -stuff. I don't think he would make that kind of thing his main defence. Not at all. He has much more brains than that. But what kind of worries me is that he slipped that in anyway. I mean jokes are jokes and playing it is playing it, but that looks more like a slip (not the freudian one but a slip when one has entertained possible defences and in the rush of gaming posts one that is not too good - and obviously those who need to think about this game via thinking possible defences in advance are the wolves...) than either of the former.

But yet again I seem to be reaching a dead end. It's too little to vote for tp - like what I was suspecting with Legate was too little to vote for him.

This is a crazy village! Why don't you just be nice and look a bit more suspicious?

I'm back.

I don't think I will vote Lommy today. It was after all just a few things that made me suspect her in the first place (which is not enough to make me lynch her on day 1 twice in a row), and her replies to me seem genuinely frustrated in an innocentish way. I'm still suspicious of her but I rather give her the benefit of doubt for now.

I wouldn't like to vote Eönwë before he has answered my questions, which I hope he will do before I leave.

Legate might be one option, but I feel uneasy with how many people have expressed suspicion on him since I myself don't feel there are that good reasons for it.

Nothing's changed on my No idea list, so basically those three are my option.

I trust Shasta more now but I have a slightly uncomfortable feeling about him anyway.

edit: xed with phantom and Eönwë
