And I'm going to get irked...man this is annoying...

Alrighty, here's my view on this whole thing. Yes, it wasn't entirely in the spirit of the game. Yes, it causes a somewhat uneven playing field. Then again the spirit of the game is to lie, decieve, and 'kill' each other, and given varying levels of experience and familiarity with the said lying, decieving, and 'killing' there's never really an "even" playing field.

The gifted players do often try to leave hints to tell others that they are gifted, there's no rule anywhere saying that other players can't do the same thing. Mind you, innocents are usually more concerned with hunting wolves and it's not really in the wolves better interest to go around leaving hints to the effect of "Look at me, I'm a werewolf!". So far as I can see it is acceptable to leave whatever hints you can to your innocence or gifted-state, but it can detract from the game and certainly doesn't guarantee anyone's innocence.

That Nilp, Lhuna, SPM and others left anagrams cannot now be changed. I saw Nilp and SPM exchanging Acrostics in a previous game and passed it off as them just being them. I put no stock in it because honestly I wasn't going to take a poem as evidence of innoence.

Littlemanpoet is clearly irked at this, and clearly wants out of it. Fine, either give him the majority of the votes or (and I'd prefer this if only for the sake of the game) go about buisness as usual, if he really wants out I'll gladly kill him off, I said "no double lynchings" but that's in the case of a tie but I'll gladly begin a whole new discussion about who can break rules by breaking the rules of MY game.

If people really do wish for me to take SPM out of the game too, fine, PM me I'll consider it...but really people, if you want me to take out Saucepan Man shouldn't I be taking out Nilp too...and wouldn't getting rid of 3 people (LMP, SPM, Nilp) all at once rather ruin the game...4 people if you want to count Mormegil's response to the whole thing...

Really people, we're in game 18 here...do you seriously expect us to ignore the previous 17 games? And that's not even counting the WWJ games...pheh, "past lives", "I've seen this in other villages", and you get mad at an anagram...
