I think it's more about individual wolves (and incidentally, I would see Roa and Legate as wolves wanting to be Captains, whereas I wouldn't want to be one - not because of the tie-thing, I can do that, but because I would not want innocents questioning me during the Night-time...)[LIST]

Lommy, no doubt not all wolves would want to be Captain – but in my view it would, despite your points, give a big advantage, especially the tie-breaking and lynch-cancelling– and they'd want that in a game with so many gifteds. Especially on Day One– they couldn't know they were going to get the Master Hunter that Night (EDIT: And now there are fewer gifteds but also fewer baddies, so it still holds). I'm thinking now they might in fact have fielded a backup candidate. It would make sense, anyway.

I'm not a fool. I've seen people lynched for using too many smilies, and Legate sounds like he's being reasonable even if he's not. The train has started and there's no stopping it now.

So then,

++Gwath for captain

I know I'm not saying anything that hasn't been said several times already– but honestly, I don't like the whole "poor me" tone of that post. Really, it's like blackmailing. And it seems excessive when no lynch votes had been cast except your own.

And I mean– Gwath? Gwath who?

On a more practical note, that NG vote for Kath doesn't count. You can't be a Guard two Nights in a row.

EDIT:X'd with 1 Legate and 2 Feas.
EDIT2:Added comment.

[Nerwen]

What is frustrating is that yesterDay was pretty much all about Legate and toDay looks like it's going to be all about Roa.

We need to look at other people. There's three wolves, after all.

EDIT:X'd with Sally.

[Kath]

Hi all. Just to let you know I will be leaving for work at 7ish my time so am a little time limited again but I will pretty much be around solidly from now til then. I do need to read up on what happened yesterDay and what's gone on so far toDay so I might not post for a bit but I am around.

I agree. Lets look at Fea too.

Legate: I am hesitant about Gwath for the same reason. I really hope he participates some more so we can get a better idea about him.

I'm now commencing a major look at Roa as promised.

Sally, if you haven't picked someone to analyze I think Fea doesn't have too many posts so it shouldn't take you terribly long.

Edit: x-ed with Kath.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

There is something wildly fun about the prospect of helping a male sibling shop for clothing. Not an opportunity to pass up.

And I'm not sure if I'll be back before DL.

++Lommy for Captain

++Greenie for NG

++Lynch Roa.

If she wants to consider herself a lost cause, who am I to take that away from her?

[Nerwen]

And now I have to go. I hope to be back later.

Look, I'm happy to give Nienna another go as Captain (yes, despite what Fea says about her).

++Nienna for Captain

++Gwath for Night Guard

[Nerwen]

While I am not yet fully committed to Roa's being a wolf (honestly, I'm not sure it's ever a good idea to trust Legate completely), I must say Fea's last post does have a distinct throwing-your-mate-under-the-bus look to it. So I agree, Fea needs looking at too.

Also, now that we know the Night Traitor helped elect Rune, we need to think about how likely it is that she was the only other baddie involved (since that also answers the question of whether Loslote is a wolf or not). It's possible, since Valier and Rune had perhaps managed to guess each other other's identities – he voted her for NG, anyway.

Which reminds me– I meant to comment on this before:

Considering that a.) the party who got the most votes was Runewolf, and b.) it was only because he voted for himself... this struck me as quite funny.

That's all from me for the moment. I'm not ready to cast a lynch-vote yet– hopefully I'll be back in time for that.

EDIT:X'd with Kath and Nogrod.

[Kath]

Sorry, while I busy, could someone possibly put up a vote tally so far?

You're quite right.

To be more precise: no one can be voted as an NG two Nights in a row - and no one can be picked as a BG two Nights in a row. Those two are the only restrictions.


ADD ON: If Roa happens to come back toDay she can change that NG-vote to make it a valid one.
