I know we can't be sure of anything at this phase, but the way she has to emphasise it so often in order to sort of soften her points seems a bit exaggerated.

I noticed it too but didn't pay it any more attention back then - at least consciously.

I can believe that. However, let's say you were a lover who wasn't sure her counterpart could avoid slipping. It works also that way.

It was a nice way to say you were suspicious.

I would assume they do. I can't see the sense in it being any other way.

I'm not. His comment really was wolfish. Now that the first bandwagon has started to form and I say I could vote for her since I've been suspecting her anyway, he suddenly finds it wolfish. I don't like how Mac's hesitating whether or not to suspect people who suspect him - or so it seems to me.

Is it just me, or has everyone just said- "Vote me and you're evil"?

If I'm a lover then our dear Moddess thought it would be hilarious not to tell me who my counterpart was.

Touchè.

No, it's not. Yes, you stated your suspicion of Rikae before, but #103 looks a lot like a wolf (or lover thereof) trying to get a bandwaggon rolling without getting her fingers too dirty.

It is beyond me how it seems to you that way. I never seriously suspected Rikae. I suspected you in a bantering way in the beginning, thought you innocent-ish thereafter, and only increased my suspicion now that you started posting wolvish things. No hesitation whatsoever.

Hmph the thought of you suspecting me just stuck in my head. But what are these wolfish things you are referring to?

Your reaction to the two votes for Rikae and in particular your reaction to my criticism of it.

I reacted to Rikae votes the way I did because I suspect her and rather vote for someone who has already a few votes than a suspect of mine who doesn't have at all.
I can see why you think my reaction to your criticism looks wolfish, but then on the other hand so does your criticism itself. You know I'm an intuitive player more than a rational one, and something in that post is bugging me.

Are you sure you didn't criticize me just because I said I'd actually prefer voting you?

As this debate is getting confusing, and I started to question myself about voting Mac, I am now starting to think more and more about voting Groin instead. But then, is one post really enough grounds? Otherwise, there will be for example Kitanna... but that is rather this Mac-defense thing, so I would rather vote Mac and see if she goes as well.

Huh. So hard to choose.

EDIT: x-ed since my last post, not that it changes anything...

While that post of Groin's is suspicious, it doesn't sound so untypical to him that it would necessarily indicate guilt. Therefore at least I would rather vote someone I suspect more, and see what to do with Groin later when he has had a chance to post more.

Either I completely overlooked it (I really hope I didn't - that'd be embarrassing), or I finally have a valid reason to suspect you.

Now looking through my posts, to my embarassment I see I really have not been voicing that much, but I have been thinking about it from very early in the game, since this post:

This was the first mentioning, and since that time, I had you marked as suspicious, and I kind of counted with the fact that you are No.1 on my list, and everything I saw just made me affirm that. Then I said this:

Which was quite plain, if nothing else. And since then you may have counted on that. You were just behaving all the time along the lines "I am your friend, people of Congo", the way you spoke to and about Rikae... okay, although now after reading all that again, you don't seem as suspicious to me as you did before. However there is my problem - I often reevaulate, and either for good or for bad of the concerned person, after re-reading. But now the question is whether I should take heed to this reevaluation and not rather stay behind my former opinion, for which I had some grounds.

Not everybody, but I wonder if it is me who is stupid or the others around here.

This time, he jumps on me all too easily. It looks like an evil Mac who has found a good culprit - someone he often suspects (won't raise eyebrows) and someone he is reputedly rather good at reading (might persuade people to agree with him).

There have been interesting points against Groin and Kitanna. I'm inclined to agree but I'd rather reread and see for myself. The only problem is that it's rather late here...

The problem, darling, is that you raise your eyebrows at many things and go on with many things that the crowd does, yet otherwise behaving un-conflictingly (no suspicions of your own production, so to say). I cannot say I really like that... starting to suspect Mac coming from defending yourself makes me raise eyebrows a bit.

I assure you, if I was a wolf I would have fabricated some nice little suspicion of my own in order to look better. And I know I'm just raising my eyebrows at stuff, but really, what else could I do if a lot of things look a little suspicious to me but nothing really looks mightily suspicious?

And as for all this "Hoy Bresil" stuff, wasn't the game actually called "Hy Brazil"?
