Err - your goal is to be bad at hunting wolves? I sincerely hope not. (And yes, that movie is crap, but Oldman is good fun and I won't deny Jeremy Irons' son is a cutie. )

Ahem. Back on topic - the back-and-forth between Agan and Boro is very interesting. I'm reserving judgment on both for now; I want to see a bit more before making up my mind. On one hand, my gut says Boro is genuine enough (though I remember saying this before and remember, also, promising never to trust him again) and knowing him, he might really have spotted something others didn't. On the other hand, if there was something to spot in Agan's post I clearly missed it and, also knowing Boro, he might just try and pull off an easy Agan lynch (her being a relatively popular Day 1 lynch anyway), starting with a suspicion he has no need of argumenting any further than some secret code he managed to crack. It is also possible that they are both genuinely innocent, meaning that Boro found a lead that isn't actually there. So, as yet, I'm undecided.


EDIT: x-ed with Lottie

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I have now read through all the posts twice without coming up with much, this can hopefully be attributed to it being day1 and the excessive silliness that has become the trade mark of the rangers(and not to any lack of skill on my part).

I found myself increasingly annoyed with the banter and random silliness, which was taken much too far. I think that both Nogrod and Aganzir’s frustrations are completely understandable and that we need to pull our selves together.

Boromir’s argument that it is entirely possible to have fun, be overdramatic and play a serious game of werewolf at the same time does have some merit. However until recently, the seriousness that was supposed to lie behind the silliness has been hard to spot.

Pommy’s (I am used to Lommy playing in these games, so you will have to serve as a substitute) joke-accusation against Galadriel was of course a banality, but a breath of fresh air. It for a brief moment changed the discourse and we were actually being productive and generating material worth analysing.

Thoughts such as those expressed by Aganzir and Lottie can of course be dismissed as attempts at “easy” lynches, but based on what has happened so far they seem quite reasonable.

Personally I don’t like the way BomT made excuses for his voting future voting pattern in a post otherwise written in jest. I am probably over critical, because of how annoyed I got reading through all the jesting again.

Rune, do you have any suggestions of what we could bounce talk of? There's the Agan-Boro matter, but they didn't come to elaborate yet. It's good to say "let's talk seriously", but you also have to consider that there's hardly anything to talk seriously of.

I actually do agree with Lottie in her accusation of G55:s jumpiness, adding to her material G55:s reaction to Agan's comment:

You weren't serious in the list, though. Not entirely, right? Right?

I can understand that's half-joking, but it exists anyway. And besides, Agan wasn't even saying she would've voted for her. Not that it would be anything but someone not wanting to fall out of the game on the first day, it's still, I think, more suspicious than anything else we have.

Except Boro's accusation on Agan, which seems strangely serious at this point of the game. With the decision not to reveal what he saw, it's definitely curious. I'm not sure what to make of it, however, not just yet.
