I kind of hate myself spending time on this Saucie, but I just can't help making this. You guys are just... well, let it not be mentioned as they call this "family friendly" site...

So no self-humiliation is enough for you? I actually wrote another non family-friendly sentence here but then realised how true you are... Of course you wait on them to suggest the deal to you - and then you decide whether to grab it or not... of course... So if the wolves "propose" you, you then decide whether to win with them or play it against them. So the power is in your hands. Ergo, there's little we can do as it all hangs with the wolves either proposing you a deal or not - and you either accepting it or not?

Looked from that perspective the following gets into quite a different light...

It’s not at all unsporting from our perspective. Given how difficult it is for Lovers to win, surely you can’t blame us for seeking to make the best of the circumstances in which we find ourselves.

So difficult indeed... all you have to do is to sit back and relax. So let me at least try to rip you from the glory of winning as lovers. There's no heroic in there. Really. "You go through where the fence is the lowest" - sorry the Finnish idiom, but you probably get the meaning.

Come now, Noggie, this is poppycock, and you know it. If the Innocents find another Wolf toDay, then it is very much still game on. If they do not, then they probably lose.

Which I have to take that you will not move a finger toDay but just gloat? Unless the wolves make a proposition to you which you then think whether you accept or not? So whatever we do, it will be your decision how this ends... *weak lovers, hard to win, very sporty indeed...*

And the playing field is not too uneven. The Innocents benefit from our revelation in that they have the advantage of being able to eliminate us from their enquiries (and I hardly think that it is in our interests to give them any further advantage). The Wolves, on the other hand, know that we are open to offers, should the situation arise whereby we can both share the victory.

So true (as a depiction) and so wrong (morally)...


Okay, to be honest... and no offence. I just had to make this to calm down in front of your annoying opportunistic neutrality. I can see & understand what you do, but I would have expected some sportsmanship from you two...

Wouldn't it be even more fun to say "Hi there, we're playing for the village toDay... let's see to whom shall we play toMorrow" instead of waiting around whether the wolves would like to end it all with a deal made toDay - and making everything and anything we do toDay totally redundant? And a most boring last Days as everything is just awaiting the execution of the outcome?
