Let's see...

Agan, Kath, and Rune already have a vote, so I suppose it would make sense for me to vote for one of them.

As far as the tie scenario, we don't have to worry about that during this stage. It's up to the Reps not to allow a tie.

I highly doubt we're going to see sally, Gil, or Gwath before the deadline; I don't think it's a big issue.

I will say I think since they have refrained to vote, they have officially revoked all rights to complain about the reps.

++Aganzir for rep

Keep it up and I'll vote for you first and give Fea the filibuster she's been oh so dying to have.

Now I'm going to bed.

I'm leaning towards Kath. She said she'll be around the second half, and she has not yet been a Rep.

I have less of an idea about where she stands, so I'd feel safer going with Agan (as far as her lynching someone I'd like lynched), but if you're leaning towards making Agan a Rep already yourself then I'd like to give Kath a shot and see what she does. At the least I do feel that she is innocent.

EDIT: x-post Boro

So, the no-voters are Gwath, Gil, and Sally.

Does anyone know anything about their whereabouts?

Well, according to the BD clock, it's final.

I'm off to do RL things for a bit, and then bed. I'll be around when I can tomorrow afternoon, I'll miss a few hours, and then I'll be back again an hour or so before the deadline.

Well, here I am.

I am honoured by the trust my (two) constituents have placed in me.

I give my word that during my time in office, I shall endeavour to be beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!

...Oh, and I'll see if I can't manage to lynch a wolf while I'm about it.

Thank you.

Well, I missed the deadline. I could have posted this afternoon, but I decided to go see a movie instead. I apologize.

First of all, I don't like that "If you are innocent, you'll do as I say and be content with my better judgement". To me, meekly following phantom's ideas without questioning them first seems more like the behaviour of a wolf than of an innocent. Phantom's phrasing looks like blackmailing of sorts - like "If you don't agree with me, I will think you are a wolf." As for me, I don't see that mysterious reason he is talking about at all and would like to remind mr. phantom that even if you yourself know you are innocent, we others don't and have no reason to trust you. Now I don't think you are a wolf nor do I suspect Gil, but if I suspected either of you that argument wouldn't sway my opinion.

Excuse me, Boro - though I don't suspect phantom either, I honestly don't know how come you are so convinced about his innocence. You treat him like a known innocent, and I'd love to know why.

What do you think tp?
If we are talking about the "experienced veterans" click, this is certainly a good example. Why ask only phantom, why not ask the other four as well? It looks as if only phantom's opinion was worth considering. Sorry, I just tend not to like this kind of phrasing.

As for the second, in WW people usually use slip to mean a Freudian Slip, so that confused me a bit. Do you just mean her confusion?
Like you said later, I mentioned this quote before; and like I believe I said in that post, I guess that was a pure typo. We'll see what Lommy says when she gets back, though.

Other than that, Rune brings good points and seems genuine, I have a good feeling about him now that I've read more of his posts. I didn't understand Boro's bologna-thing, but I trust it was nothing too important.

Is anyone else around? If yes, I'll hang around to discuss with that someone. If not, I'll go writing an essay on The Picture of Dorian Gray.
