Re: Gil. Couldn't agree more. It doesn't help us any gamewise, unless he's trying to hide wolfishness behind not knowing the rules. Re: Kath. Good to know. Perhaps, though, we could discuss that toMorrow, as we can't do anything about future reps before then? Not to say that you can't let your opinion be known, but I think it'd be better to talk about potential wolves than potential reps at this point. (And again, I'm tired, so if I misunderstand your post in some way please accept my apologies.) In short, good thoughts. Now what do you think about wolves?

Can we assume that Gil's out? His confusion looks pretty genuine to me (however, I haven't played with him much).

Turned out I'm busier than I thought I'd be. But I'm here now and I'm slowly catching up on the last couple pages. After my first skim it's good to see some extra villagers are joining the fray.
As far as the comments regarding "The Terrifying Triangle of Doom!" (aka the Boro-Phan-Leg Triangle) I'm not sure what to say. Boro and I interacting is pretty standard. Legate's 180 might have been planned, maybe not. But I'm not sure anything can be taken from it. And as far as my selection of Legate for Rep, it was rather simple. Though I don't trust him (and I said that well before I picked him), I know I can count on him to be around and give me something to go on. In addition I did not want votes to be wasted and thus desired to give my vote to someone who already had a vote. I couldn't vote for myself. Agan hadn't shown much and looked busy, so I wasn't going to pick her. I didn't have a read yet on Green, and wasn't sure I'd even get one from her on Day 1. I thought of Lommy as my pick, but I didn't trust her not to use my vote and stab me in the back with it. Who is left? Legate. And the fact that he had given his vote to me made him an even more obvious choice. But now I'm off to read more carefully. I'll begin more posts after lunch.

Oh my goodness what a read!
But I did it! And it only took something like 1˝ hours... So I'm updated at last. It will now take a cigarette and a glass of wine but I'm back pretty soon.

Di, Legate, Boro, Ilya, Shasta, sally
voted against filibuster. That's six out of 21. So for the time being it seems that filibuster is possible. At least I'm not going to vote against them (not that I'd be around at deadline anyway). I don't know if I should be happy or terrified of phantom and Nog appearing at the same time.

It's not in vain that democracy has been called the most civil form of government! Just look at the civility with which thoughts are exchanged here. And those who tend to go after each other in every game smile and say they tend to trust each other - and all the lists are full of people whom the posters feel innocentish and in the extreme occasion they only would like to hear more from some...
Okay. It's not that, but this game really is different. After we have used 24 hours thinking whom we trust we seem to have stayed the course and I'm seeing far less actual suspicion than I would have wanted to see at this hour. Staying with the general issues for a moment still before going actually back to check some ideas on people that the read araised (and possibly starting to suspect someone openly?) I'd like to comment on the issue of choosing the delegates & reading the intentions behind those choices, which subject aroused some discussion earlier toDay. First of all I wouldn't get troubled by the line up of our representative body toDay even if it consists mainly of some quite battle-hardenend independent-minded loudmouths. I would have been surprised were it any other way on this Day1. But as Days and Nights pass many of us get lynched or killed, some start to suspect one and someone else starts to suspect another etc. So the representatives will change and many people are brought forwards to bear the burden of responsibilty and looking-glass scrutiny the following Day on their turn. That brings me to my second point. Someone said (Lommy it was?) that voting for someone as a representative would be nice buttering up, done by a wolf that is. Some might actually think so as trust feels good every time. But I'm not so sure how great a favour that will be. I'd be even more inclined to think that the best buddying up of a villager would be to call her/him "trustworthy" or "speaking sense" or "having great points" - and not vote her/him to be a representative. Btw. the reason I'm getting an innocent feel from both Di and Rune is their apparent eagerness to make it to be a representative. Thirdly about the eagerness of wolves to make it to being a representative which many here have taken for granted. I must say I'm not so convinced about it. Well, some might really wish for that as wolves just for the fun of it - and sure later it might be very important for the wolves to have their say in critical votes by the representatives. But on Day1 in a village this undecided? Someone wondered why I proposed some quieter ones as representatives as going against my usual way of playing. Lommy already answered that (I wish to get the quieter people talking and taking responsibility and stop hiding in the shadows - or I wish to see more of the players I've not played before like the case with Ilya). But I couldn't imagine trying someone out of the blue as my representative on Day5 just to see her/him perform. Or at least that would require some exceptional circumstances. All in all this game is different so not all age-old and proven ways of thinking apply.

This hardly seems to be the attitude of logic and confidence regarding your vote that you presented in post #324. Which one is the reality?

Having just read the last post: Gwath, Rune said at the top of that post that nothing he was saying including that comment was actually based on the game, it was simply a first post nonsense thing.
Can I ask, what do the representatives actually want us to do? I mean obviously we can't vote but do you want to know who we would vote for if we could to help you make your decisions? Basically - do you want your votes to be based on the feelings of the whole village or are you on your own, votes based on your thoughts/gut feelings depending on which you use? It would just be nice to get an idea of how this is going to work.

Secondly, I diasgree with your suspicion of Legate. I think his anti-phantom thing was more like a sort of prejudice that simply wore off. And like I've said before, I doubt a wolf would have made such a 180 degree turn. That would have served no purpose but making him look more suspicious and gather attention. Honestly, Aganzir's suspicions strike me as rather forced. I think she's merely trying to grasp any kind of behaviour she can call suspicious and make a horrible mess out of it. And she claims I'm exaggerating. How rude. Simply put, I don't think her behaviour looks like hunting wolves, it looks like hunting supicious behaviour. I cannot phrase it so that it makes any more sense, but I hope at least someone can understand that. Quote:

Kath - I think we non-representatives should argue with the representatives and comment their suspicions. We should disagree with them and challenge them, but also tell them if we agree with their suspicions. Defend those they accuse but we think innocent, question their trust of those we find questionable. All in all, we should try to make them see what is good and what is bad in their judgement. Of course, we can also bring up totally new cases for them to consider.
We should simply help them make a good choice. edit: xed with Mith - why do those corpses keep popping up all the time?

I try to be as objective as possible when reading through Lommy's posts.
Her first post consists mostly of quotes. She suspected werewolves would just try to lay low and vote innocents for reps because "it's more probable that a village lynches an innocent anyway." But what if not? I don't like such generalized assumptions. In my opinion, speculating about things like wolf tactics (or what roles there might be ) don't lead anywhere. There are so many possibilities. About that the blame cannot be put entirely on Lommy, though, since it was I think phantom who started on the subject. I don't understand Lommy's negative attitude towards filibustering. Do you really think there are no advantages to it? It might create chaos, yes, but it might also be of some use. I pretty much agree with Lommy's #89. Etc. She looked more innocent than not and I agreed with a lot of things she said during the first half of the day. It was only during this half that she started to sound odd. She expresses concern about Agan-Brinn & Legate-phantom alliances because they are a good way to buddy up with fellow villagers. What's so curious about them? How are they a great way to buddy up? I was voted by Shasta and Brinn but that didn't make me change my mind about either of them (once that they explained their reasons). I don't think voting somebody for your rep is a matter of trust (but I might be in the minority when it comes to this). I think everybody is critical enough not to give their trust to anyone automatically. If you're worried about wolves voting one another in order to become reps, I can understand that, but what does it matter? It's still so early that we can afford to lose innocents. In the end I really fail to see what's so strange in them. Your way of thinking is too black-and-white for me. Quote:
I'm still wondering why Lommy thought Greenie and I had great trust on Brinn. I assume she's going to respond to my earlier questions about it, though. She made a list of people, concluding that everybody looked more or less innocent, with the exception of maybe phantom. Quote:
Given that Lommy has pretty much posts compared to most, there's almost alarmingly much chattering instead of actual substance. I'm not saying her posts lack in substance - there just seems to be relatively more other stuff. She brings up points, "we should do like this," or accuses people a bit (cannot trust phantom, morm, &c), but that's about it - mostly her talk seems to concern game mechanics and be rather shallow. I get an empty feeling from her posts. As for empty posts, her #274 is a good example. I dislike the evasive way she responded to my suspicions. What can you make of this? Quote:
More exaggeration: she says neither Greenie nor I spared positive adjectives when trying to justify our votes for Brinn. I called her trustworthy, Greenie good & sensible player and innocentish. To me it doesn't look like either of us was trying to flatter Brinn, least of all me. Then she claims that exaggeration is a part of her style and that she doesn't think she had been exaggerating that far. Quote:
The result is that I suspect Lommy and it annoys me because I feel I suspect her just because of the way she is. I also find myself unable to compare this Lommy to any Lommy I know from the previous games. However I wouldn't probably suspect her half as much if not for those carefully self-consciously careless trying-to-say-nothing-or-at-least-sound-normal answers. They vaguely remind me of the pathetic Dueling Wizards wolf me who was trying to avoid suspicion and accusations when they kept piling on me. I don't know what to do with Lommy. edit: xed since Nog

The way I see it - and the way I'm going to act unless shown being totally wrong with my ideas - is that as a representative I will be the sole responsible person concerning my vote and I have no escape whatsoever to hide my vote behind what you people say. That's the position of a representative (you pick us, we pick the lynchee - and stand behind our votes). But I'm the most willing to hear your views concerning suspicions if not for anything else then just for the fact that this thread is already such a megalomaniac thing that I would never have time to concentrate on all the things said. So you (and I when I'm not a rep) have a duty to bring forth ideas, suspicions, point out inconsistencies, tell about your hunches... and then the rep's make the choice. So the villagers do their best to help and the representatives make the decisions based on the info they have gathered themselves, the info they have gotten from the villagers and other representatives and at the last stand relying on their own judgement. And if one is not happy with a representative's judgement one does not vote for that one any more - and has a liberty to encourage others to not vote for that person either. That's how I see it. Uhh... X'd with a host of novellas...

Just checking in to see what's happened so far in our little government.
Not a lot, apparently. Anything I would say right now has already been seen and commented on by the actual reps, so I hope they know what they're talking about. I mean, we elected them. And even after this many WW games, I have almost no idea where people are getting so much Day 1 arguments from. Ah well. It gives me things to think about.

There's been awful little of that critical discussion between the villagers and the representatives. But that's also for us reps to blame as I haven't seen too much suspicions made by the reps either (myself included). Okay. Now I'm going to go back into the thread.

First of all, an apology for being late in the latter process of things. My internet and electricity in general went out before I arrived home from work and I've had to use a friend's computer so far, so I probably will be juggling my time a bit.
Quote:
Okay with that aside, now to give a bit more opinion for Boro88. I agree with your observations on Nogrod, and if he was a wolf, what he'd likely be inclined to do to have more involvement in his base. If you can't convince in all groups of innocents, it makes more sense after you've been elected to have your hidden wolves sent out to bring in the rabble lot of us. Like I said in an earlier post, even an innocent representative can have a few wolves in their fan base and not even know it. I don't doubt that there is at least one wolf as a rep, but I don't think they would direct their wolves to themselves only. As for Legate's big turn around, I was a bit unnerved by his reaction in the beginning. I couldn't follow any of his reasoning near the end, until he was on a better footing with the rest of the more vocal voters, and it seemed rather smooth and collected. Though, I wouldn't immediately point my pitchfork and cry 'wolf!' over it, since it reminds me of typical Legate behavior. That's the only thing so far that I disagree a little with Boro88 over. Though, I'd definately watch for him in the future, at least in reaction to less than collected suspicion, where not everyone is rabbling over his behavior. Immediately putting him up on the block and trying to lend a ledge to indecisive players to chirp in sounds like the beginnings of a wolfish bandwagon. I don't have anything on Kath. Though, I'm more curious whether she was a safe vote, or seemed safe to others who either trust her for her wisdom or, are trying to suvive by echoing the thoughts of others. I don't distrust Kath, but more of those voting her way. I don't have much playing experience with her either, unfortunately. So far she seems rather innocent, while I need to look back over other's votes for her. For once Agan, you haven't gotten my immediate suspicion (I think Lobelia and Radagast have come to terms through counciling... Or good tea). Usually I always keep a focused eye on her work, but with RL and such and then now I can't see much in the way of obvious or slight wolfy actions. I just don't have a definate judgement for her behavior. Shasta seems, interesting at least (and comedic, this game needs it for sure...), but either through a lack of previous experience with their playing style or what else, I don't have a distinct suspicion on Shasta, though neither a definate feeling of innocence. Though, I can agree with this: Quote:
In short, as far as voting is concerned, Shasta isn't alarming. I need to read a bit more, but this is mostly what I have for now. I should have more outlined opinions come later, plus I need to give the computer back to my friend... ~ Ka

I really want to go to sleep in an hour.
Could you Eönwë answer to my questions before that since you are one I'm considering. I'll go, have something to eat and take a shower. Back soonishly.

Another list, to help me get my thoughts in order and to see just who I want to go back and look at since I haven't had time.
Aganzir - No alarms, I'm glad to see she's here today. Boromir88 - Seems sensible. Brinniel - Still innocent. Diamond18 - Where is she? Eönwë - No read. Gil-Galad - No read. Greenie - Not much of a read, but what I've seen of her so far I think innocent. Gwathagor - No read. Ilya - No read. Legate - He's pinging my alarms a bit. Lommy - She and Agan seem like our brawling innocents. Kath - Seems helpful, but in the shadows. I'd like to hear more. McCaber - No read - hardly surprising. Pops in with a comment and pops out again. mormegil - Seems sensible. Nerwen - Still innocent. Nogrod - Probably innocent. Rune - Seems sensible. Sally - No read. Shasta - Obviously a wolf. The Ka - Ka is one I'd like to go back and look at. the phantom - Obviously a... well... hmm. I think he seems innocent-ish, but you never can tell with this guy.

Hmm... And yet again there's a Lommy-Aganzir thing going on. The last time I saw something like this there turned out to be something to it. Let us hope it isn't a waste of time in this village either.
That said I almost wish we could keep them both around and let them continue gunning, for I believe that will help us get a feel for them after the day is done and we can go back and read the posts without time constraints. At this point I'm thinking I may have to vote more on principle than feeling. I haven't gotten to read as much as I had hoped. Schedules don't always go as planned. Quote:

Hmm... (It was actually 2, but still). I am going to have to make a list of the quick (in part 1) reps that got voted for seemingly out of nowhere. At least, after I finally finish catching up.

I'm back.
I don't think I will vote Lommy today. It was after all just a few things that made me suspect her in the first place (which is not enough to make me lynch her on day 1 twice in a row), and her replies to me seem genuinely frustrated in an innocentish way. I'm still suspicious of her but I rather give her the benefit of doubt for now. I wouldn't like to vote Eönwë before he has answered my questions, which I hope he will do before I leave. Legate might be one option, but I feel uneasy with how many people have expressed suspicion on him since I myself don't feel there are that good reasons for it. Nothing's changed on my No idea list, so basically those three are my option. I trust Shasta more now but I have a slightly uncomfortable feeling about him anyway. edit: xed with phantom and Eönwë

Oh my... I had a few ideas that had made me wonder while I read through the thread earlier toDay but it seems they were ill-gotten. Like that I had a strong impression that after Lommy and I argued for the benefits of choosing a less known person as a representative there was a wave of points out of thin air made to suggest Ilya was also their choice for a rep but they just didn't act that way because she had been already elected. So they were basically going with the flow and trying to look like they thought similarly with the majority. I really had a kind of a parrot-feeling on that and that always sends the alarms ringing with me. But there was no such a large and unfounded thing to be found... except possibly Eonwë who posted a little after my vote.
He considered myself and Greenie as his representative and as a third option he gave... Quote:
But I'm not too confident on this. It could go either way. To other things. At the moment it looks like on the top of things there are: The row between Aganzir and Lommy. Argumentwise I'd say Agan looks the more innocent one, feelingwise I think Lommy looks the more innocent (she felt genuinely frustrated - although a wolf might feel the frustration as well to be sure). So I just can't avoid the idea that it's two innocents tearing each other apart. The skirmish between Gil and Shasta was amusing indeed but didn't tell us much. But just looking at the row it would make me feel Gil more innocent (I don't think he would make such a number were he a wolf) and leaves me quite empty-handed with Shasta. Shasta's enthusiasm to get on Gil could be seen as a wolf finally finding a target - and his retreat from it after Gil got personal would be just wise from a wolf as well. The problem is there's a host of "if's" there. Legate's 180 (how easily catchphrases are born...) and his involvement leave me as baffled. His defence of himself yesterday was genuine-looking to the fullest but the act of turning around with tp looks bad. Agan already made the point that as most of the people who have discussed it have thought a wolf would never do that is a reason to consider it a succesful move by an intelligent wolf as a possible option. One thing I would like to add here is that we do have a seer around here and the wolves wish to avoid her/his gaze. So doing something spectacularly innocentish-looking would be a decent tactics on that as the seer needs to consider whom s/he wishes to dream each Night. That kind of spectacle might be worth trying as the seer could well think: "well Legate... hmm... but he wouldn't have done that were he a wolf, right, maybe I have more urgent reasons to check X this Night... I'll check him later when it's less pressing" And we all know those less pressing times never come... It seems I have the weightiest reasons to suspect Legate then? But I'm more than reluctant to try him out toDay for the case is more speculative than I'd wish it to be were I to vote someone who could be such an assistance to us. Taking a short break and coming back with hopefully refreshed thoughts... EDIT: X'd with a lot...

I see Rune showed up late and has started campaigning to be a Rep. Naturally we should kill him for it.
And after reading more from Boro, I've decided to consider him innocent for exactly two days. Just because. Green creeps me out a little, but maybe it has nothing to do with this game. Aganzir... she's either playing well as a WW or she's innocent. So I'd like to give her a pass for today. Quote:
But seriously, I'm just feeling a little carefree is all. It's Day 1, and when it's over there will be so much to look at and examine! And guess what? I'm off of work tomorrow and Friday, and so I'll be able to examine until my eyes fall out! Because of this I figure I'll try and not be too serious this first day and just thrash around a bit and then when it's all done I can put the thinking cap on and look things over. If it would make you feel better I could start being insulting. Jerk. (to be continued)

Okay, just to let you know, I am here (for already some time) and now I am at the end of page 7, resp. the beginning of page 8. Try not to post too much and I should eventually be able to post here... hopefully soon.

I'm here.
Need to go back and read, but to answer Aganzir re: my suspicions of Brinn: first, they weren't and aren't that strong. It was the fact that she got two votes rather early in the day, is all. I want to go back and reread the whole thread again to see if there was anything textual that weirded me out or if it was just nerves. Day 1 had me jittery, especially early on, because a lot of people were bringing up their history of playing with each other and this is my first go. So to see voting as early as it happened, you know, it's the perpetual fear of the kid who doesn't realize she's all alone until everybody else has already partnered up. Also, the Agan-Lommy thing (do they do this a lot?) doesn't worry me as much as the Gil-Shasta stuff does, or more particularly, Shasta jumping on Gil multiple times. Don't know what to make of it, but it raised more flags.

Ah, so Gil is here. He usually figures out who the WWs are, but he also tends to get himself lynched. Careful laddie. You sit well with me right now due to your location. Strong Bad is awesome.
The Shasta-Gil exchange made me laugh. That's enough for me to keep Shasta around despite not trusting him yet. Quote:

In other words, it doesn't stem from trust or anything of the sort, and so I picked him as my Rep because he simply had to be picked- not because of any strong desire to select him. That attitude comes out in my selection post. The "sigh" is basically saying, "I'm not allowed to pick the only person I trust (me), and really my choice is already made for me, and I have no clue if this is good or bad, but it needs to be done anyway. Oh well. I hope things turn out well." Yeah, I know- that's an extremely meaningful sigh, isn't it?

I didn't find the Gil-Shasta quarrel suspicious. I think that's the way Shasta usually is, which doesn't indicate anything, while Gil looked pretty innocentish. edit: xed with Shasta & phantom

In the future, if someone reverses their stance, it will be "Doing a Legate". Ha ha ha! Hmm... What's something that I can do to turn my name into something cool like that?
