He also revealed that he had been planning to treat the cobbler role differently than expected without mentioning it - not cool in my book, since the village couldn't take this into consideration.
So clearly I couldn't keep playing with this additional unearned knowledge - any victory would be stripped of all honor. It's a shame, since I was quite enjoying this game and I hate to let my team down, but without a level playing field (or an uneven playing field everyone knows about) there can't be a real game.

Oh, I agree– you can't have the mod telling players each others' roles just on a whim like that. But all the same, it occurred to me that
Para might have got the idea from the last game that it's how we do things here.

Agreed; that could save us a lot of grief in future.

All right, but you're going to feel pretty bad if it turns out he was run over by a bus or something. I'm just saying...
