*sigh* Something tells me that the wolves are going be deep down undercover this game.

At this point, Rikae, Kath, Greenie, and Lommy have yet to even post. Greenie's a quiet one, fine, but what happened to the others?

I will probably vote someone who isn't here yet for captain. That way, if they are evil, at least they won't have a chance to do serious damage.

And at the moment my top suspect is Boromir. Yes, my points against him are circumstantial, but no one's posting.

So do you actually think that the wolves should be found amongst the silent people or was it just a feeling?

I can see that you fear that the role as captain can damage the village. I know that today we have to elect a captain, but maybe it would be smart to have a talk about wether we want anybody to be in that position of power later on.

Brilliant revelation, isn't it? Though you see, even though it seems like stating the obvious, the point is the dynamic behind the thinking. I have concluded that myself, I wasn't told that by the rules.

Well anyway, I may as well ask, Nienna, are you innocent?

Legate, you really frustrate me. Your post can make perfect sense and seem quite ordinary for you and then they can really confuse me. I really don't know what to think of it. . .probably slightly suspicous.

Which if I was a wolf would probably be the way I would go, lol but just me saying that could be construed as suspisious, but hey it's true. When trying to catch wolves one must think like them.

That is the beauty and the curse of the game, people can do almost do what they please and argue that it points towards their innocens.

Of course we should not lynch people just because they are being helpful, that would be stupid indeed, but I do think there is some merit to Valiers theory. We should be on the lookout for relatively helpful people, that post a fair amount and seem helpful, but don't produce much. Like if people make very detailed posts about what others have said, but never really conclude anything.

Actually I must admit it's only because Nog put the link on the admin thread which I get emails from ... but never mind! I am here. By the way a 10pm deadline is always a little bit of a rush for me as I tend to forget until the last minute so don't be surprised if you suddenly get a flurry of (and by that I mean my usual 3) posts all in one go at about half 9!

Off for a bit now. Will return later.

Damn, it would have been so funny if you had not turned up on day 1 again, especially in Nogrods game.

EDIT: I Cross posted with everbody since Little Green (My post was deleted so it took me ages to write)

Okey dokes, so I've been running through the thread doing my usual list/analysis etc. Odd for Day 1 I know but with the role stuff it feels like there has been more 'use' toDay than usual so there you go. Anyway I've only got to the top of page 3 so far.

Roa – good idea about limiting the captain pool. No point voting someone in that you think would be good if that person then can’t do it. Happy to be captain. Suspects Rune a little for being too eager. If Rune is being truthful about having been drinking before posting then it would certainly explain that! Questioning Boro about being suspicious of Fea. Says she’ll vote for someone who hasn’t turned up yet for Captain because if they’re evil they won’t do much damage. Odd reasoning. No reason that they won’t turn up later, be evil and mess the village about. Then says maybe she’d vote them for the NGs, I’d think that was more sensible. Top suspect is Boro.

Boro – playing. Likes Rune’s behaviour and would vote him captain. Seems suspicious of Fea because she picked on him for her retracting. Still playing. Has reacted strongly to what’s gone on with Fea. Has given his reasoning. I actually entirely disagree with him as if I was randomly voted for in that way on Day 1 in order that someone rid themselves of retractables I wouldn’t think much of it. Especially as they haven’t actually voted FOR me.

Inzil – takes himself out of the running for captain. Little bit of suspicion of Hakon for saying ‘I’m innocent’.

Valier – puts self in running. Suspicious of Roa but not of Boro or Fea.

Legate – since playing with him in RL I think I just suspect him anyway! But of all the first posts I find this the most ‘obvious’, though any role discussion at the moment should be fair enough really given that they’re new. Disagrees with Nerwen, thinks the wolves would be more subtle about trying to become captain. Depends on the wolves I suppose. Don’t quite understand where he was going with the whole Nienna thing.

Sally – no captaincy for sally. Questions Boro about why Fea’s actions were suspicious. Short list of people she won’t vote for captain, good reasoning. Oh yeah, I was in BED by the time the game started missy so shush.

Fea – up for anything … as usual! Gets rid of her retractables. I don’t see any problem with her having chosen Boro. First on the list is a fair reason. Good reasons for the retractable thing I’d say.

Rune – I do wonder why he feels he and Valier are the most obvious choices. I’d say he is too fixated and Valier … actually am I confused? Was it Valier or Valesse that was ridiculously good at spotting wolves? In my head it was Valesse so Valier has no extra edge but I might be back to front.

Loslote – newbie! And I like Lottie as a nickname sally. I think it would be interesting to see a new player as captain actually, seeing how she (?) reads players without prior knowledge of them.

Hakon – puts himself up for captain. Why would it be bad to vote a gifted in by the way? Have I missed something in the rules there? Ooh hate him already. No not really, it’s just the secret messages thing, never been a fan.

Nienna – putting herself to rights. List but no thoughts on it.

Nerwen – guesses the quote … right? Good point about taking the Captain thing seriously, but there was still time when she posted to settle into the game. Thinks it’s odd that Fea wanted to get rid of her retractables. I don’t particularly see why. Suspicious of people wanting to be wolves. Nerwen then agrees with Legate.

Gwath – hang on, Gwath the voice of reason? Inconceivable! ( I just recently watched Princess Bride)

Brinn – Brinn’s playing! Warns about limited time and possible non-vote. Good to know early.

Mac – ah our accidental player!
