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

x/d with Loslote, Nienna, and Fea

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.

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.

As he is being the most suspicious of everyone:

++ Rune

I do not want Rune to be captain... I think today is the most important time for wolves who want to be captain as we have to vote one in that he can be playing very bold in hopes that people would think a wolf wouldn't be so bold.

++Captain Legate

He is seeming innocent for me and making some good points and I really don't want Rune as captain.

++NG Roa

I'd like to keep her around for a while. She's making good posts and analysis and her being able to talk to someone else might be good.

You know you don't need to just follow the crowd (which to me it seems your doing) You say that Legate seems innocent to you and has made good points, but so have others.
To me your votes all seem bandwagonish.... all your reasons are what other people have said. Seems to me like a wolf scrambling to vote someone safe.
I've done it before as a wolf on day one. I'm not sure, but I'm getting a bad vibe from you Nienna

Oops...

I hadn't thought you would like to both lynch and make a Captain out of a same person.

How bad of me...

So here's the rule if that kind of situation comes real.

If the same person has been voted as the lynchee and as the Captain, the fate s/he has more votes for will be the decisive factor (eg. whichever decision is called for by more people).

If that person has as many votes to both "positions" the difference between that person and the next one down the line decides the outcome (fex. if people wish to lynch X and the next lynchee is two votes down - and with Captaincy-vote there is only one vote difference to the next contender = lynch, etc.).

If even that is even, then it is the relative number of people voting vs. the support for X to be dealt with either giving a captaincy or lynching (in case not all make all the votes which is possible if not desirable).

If even those numbers are the same it will be decided on which vote was given the last (kind of creates the last minute feeling by those not voting for the person and thus turns them towards the last-voiced vote...

EDIT: The same rules apply to someone being voted the NG and the lynchee...


Heh, I knew I would have to fill in some details...

The Captaincy takes precedence so we'll just pick the next one from the line to be the NG...

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.)

Nienna spends too much time in werewolf games dying early, and the only memorable post Hakon has made thus far was bizarre and I'm not sure I have faith that he'll prove useful later on.

Okay, if I am not stealing too much of your time, could you define "bizarre"? Do you mean these secret messages and stuff? Like, do you think it has anything to do with whether somebody is a Wolf?

Anyway. I am probably going to support Nerwen in something, not sure if Captaincy has much sense in her case, maybe NG then. We shall see. In some more general thoughts, Nienna looks okay to me as well. There are few people who are just plain weird, like Rune, but not actually suspicious. Same I could say about Boro or Hakon. Inzil makes me slightly worried, but it's more like a gut feeling. Valier could be something mischievous, but on the other hand, she speaks quite sensibly in many of her posts (the question would be whether it's not calculatively planned). Lommy could be called slightly disturbing as well, the most probably if she and Hakon were wolves or something, but not in any really strong way this far. Many people like Mac have said too little to make me make a better picture of them.

I do not really have a very clear picture of whom to vote for lynching toDay. Like I said already, I may choose to NG somebody who is rather quiet.
