Especially you and Rune, because you voted each other into positions of power, and yes, because you all voted the same.

I think me and Rune voted each other is we have a mutual respect for one another and have not played a game together in a long time and don't want to see the other die....yet. (well that's kinda my reasoning) but my votes are my own and not influenced by others votes.

++Roa for NG

Because I think we will need her reasoning and analyzing tomorrow and I don't want to see her killed over the night. (though killing her would be silly as a wolf as of yet) but you never know

Sorry, I changed that...

I don't think Rune and Boro are wolves. They're acting slightly suspicious, and in my mind, that doesn't equate to wolf. I would think a wolf, especially on the first day, would act either flamboyantly wolfish to make people think they weren't, or so not wolfish that no one would consider them as a candidate. Neither of them fit those categories.

I'm finally here! This has been an incredibly busy day: lecture, making research for essay, work and even now I should be writing the essay instead of playing, but I'll do my best to share my time smartly between the two.

I want to vote as the Captain someone whose judgement I trust. Of the current candidates, it could be Roa or Legate, but not Rune because I disagree with him generally more than with the others and I've seen him being wrong more times than the other two. I haven't decided which one to vote, because a vote for Legate would feel sort of safer, but then again, the village could benefit more of Roa's sometimes drastic moves. Anyway, I will try to be active in thinking of electing a new Captain because obviously one person shouldn't have a lot of power for a long time. (In fact, I'm wondering if we should elect a new Captain every Day.) And as a last note, if others would agree with me about making Lady Valier of Incredible Hunches as the Captain, I'd be happy to start a bandwagon... (unless she said she doesn't want to be the Cap...?)

As for NG votes, it does make sense to vote for someone who you don't want to see dead after Night2, but at least I will also consider who would benefit from being able to PM with someone else during the Night and who could be able to use the PMing to the village's advantage, or who should be under some surveillance during the Night too.

Lastly, lynch votes. I don't have much idea, but I was thinking of taking the list of players in front of me and writing what I think about all of them...

Fea - seems okay this far, I can sympathise about the retrackies
Nienna - seems quite the same as last game when she was helpful and innocent
Inzil - not giving any kind of vibes
Sally - seems more like her innocent than guilty self, but I have a funny feeling about a thing or two she does so I'll keep an eye on her to see whether it's random or indicates guilt...
Hakon - innocent enough, I'm not sure a wolf would boast of making a good leader
Macalaure - quite quiet - maybe because he's afraid I'll catch him if he posts more? anyway, seems ok this far
Kath - her usual self ergo unreadable
Loslote - not enough material to form a proper picture of
Valier - seems quite innocent and I want her to make it until Day2 at least becauseI haven't played with her for ages and I like her!
Greenie - no idea
Nerwen - seems relatively trustworthy for herself
Roa - what I said about Valier + what I said about Kath + we should definitely not start by killing the one who's been creating the most discussion
Lommy - me (surprise )
Boro - actually, I'm slightly suspicious of him. Not because everybody else is, but because of the way he reacts to pressure. However, to be honest, I wouldn't want to vote him toDay, because I've been boasting of having a failsafe bororadar so it would be quite a wound to my ego if I voted him on vague suspicions on Day1 and he turned out innocent. (Yes, you can call me stupid now, but at least I'm honest! )
Legate - seems rather innocent, but I know better than to trust him. (Do I?)
Gwath - seems ok
Brinn - no idea
Rune - a bit weird, but I have the gut-feeling that he's innocent - unless he's the cobbler and making a mess deliberately, but it feels more like an innocent Rune making mess accidentally

That's like one vague suspect I don't want to vote and 16 no ideas or innocents out of 17. Wonderful.

I hope someone does something very suspicious in the next two hours or I get a brilliant idea.


edit: xed with everybody from Sally onwards

++Roa for Captain

Because I just realised that I had mostly been considering Legate innocent for saying he thought Nienna is either innocent or wolf and that he could well have been thinking she kind of looks like a wolf and kind of doesn't even if he was a wolf.

Besides I've trusted Roa's judgement since she killed me-wolf as a hunter.

I'm letting Greenie have the internet now. I'll be back!

PS. Nogrod! What if the same person is elected to be both Captain and Night Guard? Will the Night Guard title just pass on to the person with the third most NG votes?

Because it's hard for me to conceive that a wolf would be that obvious.

Maybe that's what he is hoping for... What I can't understand is why he is being so vehement.

AND just because you don't think he is wolf doesn't mean that he will make a good captain. Bah.

++Rune


If nothing else I'm uneasy with someone who's that happy to take power. I think it's possible he's not just a really bold wolf, but either way he squicks me out.

(I'd also be happy with any of the people from my list earlier. Aka Hakon and maybe Fea, though I was mostly kidding about her. Also, Boro's a bit odd but I'm not sure it's a wolfish odd so I'm not going to support a lynch for him toDay.)


Sorry, must dash for a bit. Hopefully more discussion time later.

I do find his zealousness strange. Then again, I've never played with him before and it's been said that's just how he is.
He may not be a good Captain, of course. We've no guarantee whoever we choose will be.

x'd with Nienna again

Nienna: your vote count has a flaw. Valier didn't vote Roa for Captaincy but for to be a Night-guard.

Rune is perhaps acting strangely, but I don't think it would be wolfish. I think he acts like that more if he is in a kind of "freelance" attitude, which would suit him more if he was innocent.

But there's no rule against voting oneself for Captain? (Or anything else, for that matter?)

Oh, and Fea - if you are around, or later - could you give any reasons for your votes? (Especially the lynch one.)
