I feel like I want to make a list, but I'm really not sure what I think about people yet- toDay is Day 1, and an exceptionally quiet one at that. We still have half an hour, as I make it.

"ph" is Greek original, "f" is English (or is it just American?).

I am here for the DL, so I can wait, if I wanted to vote somebody quiet, until the very end of the Day if somebody who posted nothing before does not post something of substance (especially after being warned or such).

As to who that would be... well, I am still thinking of Isabellkya. She might be as well my pick #1 for toDay. But still a short time till DL.

EDIT: x-ed with Isabellkya and Kent
I see. . . so you are a moderate version of Nogrod?

I know now not to expect much out of Day 1 reasons, but I am more worried about someone slapping on a general feeling of uneasiness, then a random early vote, or people making role-playing posts.

I shall answer these two together.

I wrote 98% random, because that is essentially what it is!
I felt that Isabel's post seemed very controlled and carefull, but this is based on 1 single post, that hardly makes a proper case. . .

In my post you could read my selection prosses: I had no proper suspects and did not think I could make it back before the deadline. So I had to decide between not voting or making an early voted based on very little evidence, I chose the latter. Then I decided to go for the posts which I had felt indifferent about upon first reading, you know. . . taking a close look at the ones where nothing catched your eye at first. Here I noticed that Isabel's post seemed sort of fabricated.

So there is reasoning behind it, but it is vote based on so little that I would call it a quite random vote.

EDIT: Cross Posted with plenty of people. . .since post 84 or so

Yes, "Nogrod with human face"

Anyway... as for my voting... I might as well go with my vote for Isabellkya now and be done with it, because I can already see the mass floodposting coming in the last few minutes... but then again, if Nogrod was to be lynched, I would not like to see him go now, so maybe I should hold to see...

Okay, but let's give it a basis then. I guess the floodposting won't do any good anyway.

++Isabellkya

And here we go.

If permitted tomorrow, I will of course go over the votes in more detail; but for now allow a quick description.

Sally's for Nogrod: dodgy vote, and suspicious.

Lhuna for Legate: that's ok.

Kent for Rune: disagree with it, but wouldn't say it's dodgy.

Nienna for Sally: understandable.

Legate for Isabellkya: also understandable.

I'd like to save Nogrod so I will most likely vote for Isabellkya or Sally, and I'm glad it's down to those two as they are both suspicious-looking to me anyway.
