So be it...

No particular reason other than I don't want one of the active people today. Nerwen did post once and, if a wolf, best to take a shot at getting rid of her now, or we're all dead.

'Let's lynch her now because if she's a wolf she'll be oh so dangerous." That's plain truth, but if she's not she'll be oh so dangerous to the wolves, so why should we lynch her without any evidence? Since when do we lynch people just in case?

OK, I just realized I've been up for close to 20 hours, and nocturnal creature though I am, this undead vampire bat has a lot of sunlight damage to recover from.

Nerevar guide me!
++Boro

Good night!

So... was there a reason for this, or...?

And Rune... well, Rune's post is bulked out by a big paragraph about voting, after which the content comes down to:

-Zil only posted once.
-Boro is having fun.
-Pitch is productive.



The first three points have all been previously made in the thread; the last is an expansion of other people's suspicions (as was his original comment on Boro), and is pointed at the person who's several times named him as number 1 voting candidate.

There's nothing here to make me reduce my suspicions, so in the absence of other candidates, and on the principle that a voting record is helpful to the village:

++Rune

hS, roosting upside-down in a tree and hoping for the best

Huey sort of suspects me, but decides Rune is a bit worse, so votes for him.

His suspicion of Rune seems a bit forced, but is it Day 1/New Player uncertainties, coupled with "I gotta vote for someone?"

If nothing else happens thee next ten minutes my vote will go to Inzil.

The contributions have mostly been good natured banter, and comments on Huey being a bit jumpy. Perhaps more will follow, but as things stand this behavior seems to needlessly shy away from confrontation (in my opinion). What does it mean that Huey is a bit jumpy (Inzil has pointed it out twice), is this wolfish behavior or not? Furthermore the posts interact with a fair few of the villagers, but without leaving any real traces. Of all the active players, this is the behavior that seems the most wolfish to me. A relatively low key day 1, staying out of focus, but with a degree of interaction.

Now this seems forced as well, though it is me saying so. What kind of 'confrontation' d'ya expect on Day 1?

I can sympathize to a point, because Nerwen always worries me. I strongly disagree with the 'just because' vote though.

Curse these transatlantic voting deadlines, cried the fell voice. It makes for very sleepy decisions.
Also, where are Shasta and Morsul? And I also seem to remember a Sally in "oh my ears and whiskers I just need to rush off and do something and then rush in again" mode being a Very Bad Sally.
Well as we all know first days suck and often the most active participants get unfairly picked on. I will spread the vote and go for a quiet one... although not an absent one as that could be too risky

You're right in that submarines often do slip by early on. Where's Nog when you need him?

That said, the squeaky wheels naturally get the attention, rightly or wrongly.

This time we have two votes for the (mostly) absent thus far.

[Inziladun]

I think for me it's down to Boro or Rune.

I don't like Boro's vote, but it really seems reckless for a wolf.

Rune strikes me as worse, because of the way he initially seemed to grab onto Huey's initial, mild suspicion of Boro, then Pitch's comment that Boro could be Moon Moon, then moved from all that to vote for me.

[Inziladun]

Ok then.

Touche, but in this case, my phone just died and I couldn't post again until I got home just now.

[satansaloser2005]

I don't like things being so spread out. If my calculations are correct, five different people have votes. Easy to manipulate such a situation.

Purely to avoid a sudden shift we didn't expect:

++Rune

I hope I don't regret it.
