WW: XCVIII ~ Game Thread ~ Death at the Foot of Taniquetil - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I need to vote soon, but four people haven't posted in this thread yet, and there hasn't been a lot of discussion. I'll look at the people who have posted so far:

Nogrod: Has some ideas to discuss, wants to stir the pot. I don't know enough about his playing style to know whether his tone and style are normal for him. I don't want to vote for him because he's the first poster and was willing to get the conversation going.

MCR: Wrote a stylish in-character segment. If it reflects her actual views, it might indicate she's going to pursue an especially non-co-operative strategy, which would be interesting to see, if so. But it might be very good cover for a wolf. It's her first game, so I won't vote for her on the first Day without better suspicions than this.

Pom: Seems bright and makes good observations. I don't want to vote for them.

Nerwen: Made a good joke! But in paranoia-vision, was that good joke a handy way to say "I really am a wolf, so don't kill me" to the wolves? I don't want to vote for someone who makes a good joke like that, but can't rule her out on those grounds.

Rune: Brief post, makes a quick mention of his opinion about Nogrod's proposal.

Boromir: Had RL problems delaying him. Writes an amusing post and decides to vote for Nerwen, although he seems to have find a point interesting in Nogrod's posts too, on the topic of signals. I can't seem to find that bit.

Greenie, Shasta, Sally, Skip Spence: aren't here yet. Do they know the game is running? Out of these four I've only played with Shasta and Sally before and don't know anything about the other two.

I am really loath to vote for someone who hasn't shown up. If they did know the game is on, leaving things this late is suspicious. If they didn't know, then I don't want to vote for them, but I have no way of knowing which it is. I'm also loath to select my vote only from among the people who have shown up in a timely manner, as doing that seems unfair. This is difficult.
