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.

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.

EDIT: x-ed since Lommy

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"?
