Werewolf LIII: The Republic

What I mean is, trying to avoid saying straight that you are new, although you make it quite clear in a more subtle way, looks suspicious to me. And it looks like you were trying to do just that. And it looks suspicious because you're trying to excuse your participating in a bandwagon (or any other suspicious thing you might do) by saying you're just a newbie.

Oh, ok. I get it. I wasn't trying to excuse my behavior by playing the new card, in fact that's why I didn't mention the newbie thing to begin with - because it could be seen as fishing for innocence. I said I jumped on the bandwagon because I was suspicious of Legate but I wasn't sure, and I trusted Boro, so I went with his vote. I mean, it's partly because I'm new and nervous about being perceived in a way that'll keep me around, but it was mostly because I suspected Legate and trusted Boro's judgement, and I think my posting reflects that. What were some of the subtle ways that I hinted at it?

As to the method thing, it had to do with keeping all the reps at the same level of voting power, ie. not end up in a situation where somebody has 6 and all the others have 2. Just, you know, being aware of spreading the wealth. I dunno what I would suggest for a method. I think we've been doing that without any formal rules or any such structure.

What more is Ilya’s respons to accusations confuses me. . . sometimes I just have a hard time understanding what she means and have to read it over a few time and that might have gotten stuck in my mind and make me uneasy about her. She is fast to admit to playing it flip-flopping and other stuff, this could be a way of trying to kill the accusations before they become a major case.

People don't admit when they're wrong in this game? I was as wrong as wrong could be yesterday. I'm still making mistakes. You can talk about them for the rest of the day, and indeed no matter what I write I think that y'all will, but I'd rather have it on record that I admitted them when they were pointed out to me. I'll try and be clearer for you, Rune. Just tell me where it's muddled.

This was the thing I quoted in the post where I first mentioned it.

Ah. Yeah. You know, I was on the fence about whether to even write that or not. A cloying type thing but I decided to go for it. I was anxious about ending a thought with "and that looks wolfish," because then people would think I was trying to buy sympathy for admitting that I what did looked like a wolf move. Now I realize I don't have to cater my thoughts to you people.
