I was not convinced by the "nothing more complicated than that" statement and asked for further explanation by taking a quote from a lovely book, written by an author I'm sure we all love to read and changed a few words to fit what I was asking for.

The other purpose was to see if anyone wanted my vote for Captain/NG than they would have to answer the questions about the quote.

Speaking of which, only sally has attempted, which she failed that means so far everyone else has failed. I was trying to figure out how I was going to decide on a Captain/NG. I could have approached it a normal way, that is wait to see if there's anyone who jumped out that I trusted, and my other way would be to see how many hoops someone would jump through to appease the monkey (ie me).

Any takers? The offer I made in my last post does have a time limit.

What other motive could she possibly have?

To the person who can identify the noble, wisened figure I'm quoting, you will be considered a NG vote.

To the person who can identify who the noble, wisened figure is talking to, you will be also consided a NG vote.

Now have at it! (One answer per person please).

The Chapter is of course, Minas Tirith. Yay, now you have to vote me.

Actually, people, we need to take the Captain business more seriously. Unless I've totally misunderstand the rules, if we vote in a wolf, we're in trouble... and there doesn't seem to be any disadvantage to the wolves. So I'm kind of wondering about these people yelling, "Vote MEEEE!" toDay.

No, I don't believe we need to (I think I've got that bit straight), but I don't see why we shouldn't... unless gifteds lose their power if they're Night Guards. I'll check.

Also, I want to know what Boro and Fea are up to (even apart from general principles).

I don't understand why Fea (in any role) would want to shed her retractables. I mean, you can say, "yeah, it makes her look innocent, therefore she must be evil," but is it worth it even then?

And Boro...

So why not pick a more obscure quote, then?

Let's not misrepresent. Only a couple of people have actually said they want to be Captain and the rest have only expressed their lack of objection to holding the position.

I should let you all know in advance that I'm pretty busy, so while I'll be here, I won't be here a lot.

Hmm...I'm afraid to say I really don't have any time to devote towards toDay. It's already late and I still have homework to do. Then I have to leave by late morning for classes and I don't get back until way after deadline. Sorry about that.

Anyway, I admit I'm still a bit confused about how this game works, but I figured I'd make sense of it as I go along and play it by ear. After all, it's worked before.

It's always so hard to get a read out of anyone in the first half of Day One, so it sucks I have to vote so early. I've done random votes before, but I'm not sure I really care to do so this time around. For one thing, I'd hate to be partially responsible for electing a wolf into Captain position. Who knows, maybe I'll get a better feel for some players come morning, but if not, I just might not vote at all toDay. Which I think will be a first for me.

Well as for the Wolf-for-Captain business, Nerwen is right about that it's probably the most dangerous thing that could happen. However, I think the Wolves would try to approach such a position somewhat subtly. Though not necessarily, of course.

And I don't get the Fea and Boro business at all and I also have no idea why somebody should be picking in it. Because I thought that it's just something completely normal, like, what's happening? Nothing is happening, so what's the problem? (With both of them and for the others.)

I am sorry for such two-liners, but now I am in slightly bigger time pressure than I thought, I guess the time when I will really properly be around will be in the evening, i.e. some six hours from now. But I will be around yet for a really short while now.
