Apologies for not posting much, work has been a bit busier despite New Years being over, to the point that it's surprisingly trickled into my days off a bit.
Anyways, my thoughts in mildly abridged form:
>Aragonn's decision to hop off of the vote for ENE and lem Leesbra's vote on A Kindle of Kittens does concern me a bit. While it's completely in character since I recall Ara being an anti no-kill phase type of player, his casual mention of Leesbra when it really wasn't even warranted could be an early attempt to distance himself from a fellow wolf (or pretend to and set up a villager to take the fall) by casually throwing out their name as a potential person to watch...especially since this is right after ENE also just happened to notice that Leesbra's posts were all quoting him...though this I'm willing to believe Leesbra's take on for now.
>TGN not posting much also concerns me. This is someone who has played multiple games and has even hosted one, and was usually really active in past games and much more helpful than just saying "Gorsh" and random D1 vote with no context. Right now it's concerning because it's exactly something someone would do as a power player to avoid suspicions...although it's absolutely a question of whether it'd be a good power player or a wolf attempting to pretend to be such, which TGN is absolutely capable of pulling off.
>The fact that there was no night kill likewise concerns me. This could mean that we have quiet players (which we'll possibly found out this next round since Wiral hasn't posted in six days), it could be indecisive wolves that missed the deadline (which depending on who they are, it's pretty unlikely), or it's an experienced player or two trying to early push suspicions on our newer players by pushing it being that previous reason of them not knowing what to do.
>Going back to Leesbra, that bit on the end is really weird to me. It comes off to me as almost monumentally derpy to where I almost want to give him the derp clear based on that whole mess of a paragraph alone, but it also makes me recall games where the new person ended up being a bad guy that was pushed to lean in on that derpy newbie vibe by their teammates, so I'm not entirely ruling him out.
Overall I'm a bit unsure of how I want to run in this phase since there's some likely candidates (and everyone else has either been a blip or generally okay vibes so far), but I also want to see more how this phase develops before I actually outright point a finger and accuse someone.
That being said, since I don't know if I'll be on in time for the phase end and I do need to vote, I'll just keep up with my current trend and hopefully pop on before phase end.
Vote: Michi
