It's nothing perverse indeed. Or then we are both perverts as that is very much a shared feeling.
In the first games I tended to jump on those who suspected me - and it is a natural reaction as it feels bad - but one should get over it in the end. Aren't all those suspecting your own high-innocentness the ultra-evil...?
Also it was easy to see that those who disagreed with your suspicions in general were purposefully preventing your own great ideas to win the day.
I'm at least hoping I'm getting a bit better at overcoming these but sadly the gut reactions are still functioning even if I know where the ideas they bring me come from...
Just to give you an example.
I have been quite comfortable with
Mac's sober attitude towards me this game and was almost delighted when he shared some of my ideas - and I do owe my continued existence in this game to him to be sure (that's pretty tough to overlook - although it would indeed be the perfect trick performed by the wolf!). But somewhere in the back of my head there has been a quiet voice squeaking: "Look, look, he's dangerous now, why is he doing all that? Every other time he's at you from his first post onwards?" (just a slight overexaggeration for the dramatics).
So I'm very much aware that he might be toying with me with his attitude but the feel-good factor does help a bit to overcome the critical instinct inside. That's just how it works even if you know it works like that.
