I haven't been able to read through all posts, so could somebody please tell me: Am I in major danger of being lynched?

Anyways, I don't have much constructive to offer on this day one, the only thing that has caught my mind is how easily people have made a major deal about the early posts. . . Which is really silly! Sure it is a thing that needs attention, but enough is enough!

Is it better than banter? If so, then quit complaining. If not, sorry - but *I* prefer discussion - on however silly a topic - to:

"So...how's about them votes?"

"Exciting."

"I hate Day 1s."

'Cause I'm just funny that way.

Ok... so the rest of my votes:

++ Wilwa - because I think she would make a good Simon
++ Form - because I think he would also make a good Simon... if he paid slightly more attention
++ Nog - because he's been making good sense.

So I kind of wanted to use my last votes, but I think it would be strategically unwise . . .

Anyways vote for me, because I am kind of brilliant (in that non-Indira Ghandi kind of way)

I will leave you guys now as I have to get to Walsall in the morning.

----------------

And apparently it is ok to make a fuzz about nothing, just because nothing else is happening on day 1. Basicaly that is what I get from Loslote's post.

Just because I haven't discovered a smoking gun or anything else that might indicate wolfish behaviour, doesn't mean that I cannot argue with people who makes silly cases against other players.

No, but to start up discussion, it's okay to be silly.* Silly gets people talking so you can get a read on them.

*That needs to be a song: It's Okay To Be Silly. Just sayin'.

Yeah it is okay to be silly.
But there needs to actually be some sort of game related substance included.
Otherwise it is all just banter.

I don't mind people pointing out odd behaviour or things they think needs to be debated. . . I just think it is silly when people say "I think this nr. of wolves posted at 3am" without any proper theory behind it.

Yes, I am silly. I admit to sillyness. Sillyness is, in my book at least, a Good Thing.

I don't see anything particularly suspicious with Izzy, but is it worth voting for her if it's just going to create a messy tie situation? Though it look like only a two-way tie now..

Okay.

++Izzy

and..

++Fea

Because I know she loves winning popularity contests...

EDIT: X-posted. Okay, others voted for Izzy too it seems...

I don't have much of an opinion toward either Pitchwife or Izzy right now. Which is a dilemma because I think I'd like to vote for one, but I'm not sure which. I don't want to vote for both since at the moment it'll make a three-way tie.

Now would be a good time for those in danger to plead for their lives...

EDIT: Okay, so Pitch has a vote now..

Same here– if I give my last vote to Izzy, who basically does seem all right, it just creates a 3-way tie.

Okay, if none of you want to see Izzy go, vote for her - and if enough of you do, she doesn't die and doesn't tie. This is a popularity contest, so vote for who you want to stay!

My mother's lasagna is cutting my reading short, so I only got to the first few posts of page 4. But here is what I had quoted and my thoughts:

This sentence doesn't make sense to me, and it's fishy.

First sentence is what I'm looking at. And this may get me alot of scrutiny but a Seer is really only useful if they've revealed. I mean a Seer could dream of 3 wolves and then die before saying anything, and then what good were their dreams? Unless they left really awesome hints, but even those can be hard to catch and are risky, especially if the dream was for a wolf. So a Seer reveal is actually almost necessary for them to be helpful. Yeah, it's way better later on in the game then on Day 1 when they've only have one dream, but to be "entirely unnecessary" is kind of rediculous, it's actually usually necessary at some point.

No idea why she made such a suggestion. Lynching is all we have, of course we want it to happen, even if we don't get a wolf it's better then not trying. Considering the number of Fenris wolves out there it's obviously possible.

Of course, we'll still have the same problem now, but now no-one who isn't voted is safe and have to work to gain the village's confidence, but if we do the lynch-thing, people that aren't on there will be "safe" and will probably not be looked at as much as those under suspicion.
But it's not like everyone will vote for the same people every day. suspicions changed, I mean 10 minutes ago I had no opinion on quite a few people, and now I'm suddenly paranoid about a bunch of you. So I doubt people could skim through as easily as you think. Also, I don't get why you fought Nog's suggestion so hard, Pitch did as well but I think Eonwe took it a bit too far. It really was not that big of a deal.

*breathes*

Gonna stop now and go eat, I'll be back later. I will try and get out of this foul mood I seem to have landed in.

x'ed with nog, oh and the underlining is mine..
