I want to explain, even in more detail, why I voted Gil.

Two main reasons.

1. I want to eliminate the wolves hiding place of little or no posting. It's far too easy a strategy because we are all willing to make up excuses for them when they post nothing to give us any information about them.

2. I'm sorry that his Dad isn't letting him get on the computer much but if that's the case why do you start a game. This is not a direct attack on Gil but in general. If you can't fully participate it's best to sit it out. We've seen many people do this. SpM is one example.

So it may sound callous or perhaps even a wolfish ploy (take as you like) but I'm of the opinion that if they can't contribute one way or another that they are good cannon fodder especially the first day.

What I don't understand is how Gil can yell that he can't have fun playing because we kill him off and yet he also states that he doesn't have time to post anything. How can it be fun if you can't post? Could be a wolf trying to get our sympathy and it seems to be working. I have no certainty as to whether or not he is a wolf, but we all seem willing to just say "oh that's just Ol' Gil and the way he is" Well maybe we ought to look more into it than we are.

Right now I have high suspicions of Holby and she's raised many red flags of what I look for in a wolf. I don't have time to explain why I suspect her sufficiently right now so I will post later on that.
