I am sorry I have just missed you Firefoot, but thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt for now.

As you must have noticed I was rather annoyed with Nogrod in my last post. The fact is I was so annoyed that I posted and logged off in a fit of pique.

Please bear in mind that I had been on a temperamental computer in a draughty cyber-cafe for 3-4 hours AND it was past the time I expected for the day to be finished. I am in the UK and so it was gone 9pm - not late if you are safe at home but I was in not the nicest part of town with my car a dark walk away on a foul night so I really was keen to be home.

I didn't know Nogrod was the seer - for some reason I had the idea that Firefoot and Folwren were the remaining gifted after Wilwa was lynched and when Folwren was shown to be the ranger - it encouraged me to think I was right on both. Though when I spared her life, the thought had vaguely occured that the reason Valier was playing below the level I expected of her might that she was trying not to be conspicuous for a GOOD reason......

So bear in mind that it didn't occur to me thatthat Nogrod was the seer and with really bad timing I left before he fessed up. To me he was a bully and a hypocrite - Roa's guilt was obvious to him BECAUSE he had proof - it was a lot less obvious if you hadn't..... sometimes in these games people are jumpy becasu ethey are innocents under attack

Nogrod seemed determined to stop me from considering all possibilities and since he had been slightly underhand around Sleepy's death, waiting to the limit so I would vote first and then deleting a post, I was not going to trust him automatically when he started on his "Roa's is guilty" thing but not backing it up with a vote. He really seemed suspicious to me. His hypocrisy was the final straw... and since suddenly non-participation had become the way to put yourself above suspicion according to Mr High and Mighty shouty person - I just thought ...well something that wouldn't pass the language filter...

Childish maybe but I thought someone else could have the tension this time- I had had enough with Sleepy. I had had enough.....
