I was just re-reading... but I didn't get very far... too exasperated by Roa's latest (#411).

She summarises what everyone else said regarding Loslote yesterDay. Now, the first thing that strikes me is the degree to which she blows her own trumpet over not having suspected Loslote:

I do an analysis of Loslote, as promised, and find nothing suspicious.

I say that I don't believe Loslote is intentionally misrepresenting Brinn.
I'm just saying, how often do people summarise their own comments? Not very. Is there a point to her doing this, other than to say, "See? My hands are clean!"

And then there's this:

No, I didn't. I said this:

So it's either Wolflote stumbling through her cubhood, or it's Roa Awolfe getting over confident, or it's Inzilawolf being a little too slick for his own good, or it's somebody else very sneaky indeed.
In other words, I was merely stating the obvious– "It's either one of the players who are getting attention, or it isn't".

Now, I noted in my next-to-last post yesterDay that my connection had started playing up shortly before DL. At that point I had only just been able to get back on, and I wasn't sure what had happened.

The way Roa describes what I did is, to my mind, very much an example of the use of weasel-words. Can you read that line without getting the impression of Evil!Nerwen making sure her fiendish plot had succeeded, nyeh-heh-heh-heh-heh?

I haven't checked what she said other players said against what they actually did say, but just judging from what she said about me, she's doing some serious twisting there. No wonder she didn't see anything wrong with Lottie's analysis.

I still think this is zealotry rather than wolvery, but it's getting to me.

EDIT:X'd since Inzil.
