A very quick reply to Mac

If you're interested, you must go and see them for yourself, I won't start playing games like this at 4.30am.

I seldom mean everything I say totally literally. Okay, I know, you could disregard everything I say based on this but just generally, use of common sense is allowed.

Wonder why the attack came and if the accusator is merely mistaken or if s/he's evil.

Fair point. I feel like this game has lasted for a dozen days already. Anyway, my point remains. Day1 is Day1 (ie random and yes I know all in this game is random but Day1 is still more random than others) and it is weird you mention it first. Nit-picking maybe, yes, but that's a wolf-catching trick I learned from Aganzir the Queen of Nit-picking. It shows clearly what went through your mind.

Alright, it might be good for myself too to look at it more in-depth, but like I said it's 4.30 now and I've been silly enough to stay awake this long so I won't stay here anymore... but I'll look at it toMorrow if you two are still alive and it feels relevant.

I don't know, but if I was innocent I wouldn't reply anything so wolvishly phrased. I took your reply as just joking, but if it wasn't, I must take your word for it.

Yes, you said this:

And while you're not suspecting me really yet, it is like you were preparing to change your mind publicly.

I think Boro wanted to get that off his heart and doesn't want to lose my good opinion of him. Not that it tells anything of his role, any of it.

Now I'm really going! Good night everybody.


edit: xed with Shasta - there's no difference imo and no idea why they're flip-flopping unless they've seen the light

Which hunter? And the chance that the ranger will still be alive by then is not exactly great either (3 in 11, I think).

I was talking about the decision we made at the time when there was a Ranger and there was a hunter.

I'm doing no good here, either wolves are intentionally getting me riled up to make me go crazy or people just like seeing me blast off.

Edit: changing the "=" signs to "-" signs

One thing to the people who've been complaining about the lack of information in this game setup: Don't forget that the mutineers got lucky and killed the seer right away. On average we'd have a lot more information with this setup. Also, we don't know how well or badly we are actually doing, so I think this criticism is rather early.

True, we don't know...and my complaining isn't an attack against Brinn. (I hope you, Brinn, haven't taken it as such). I'm here, I may kick and scream about it, but I'm here and I'm participating because I want to be. And that is the testament to Brinn's creativity and ingenuity. I whine, but that doesn't mean Brinn's made any kind of mistake or done an awful job.

I just gripe, because the truth is it sucks to not know anything. It sucks to not be able to do what I normally would do, and when I actually do feel like I made a good choice, it sucks to get bombarded with more griping from mates about what a stupid decision you made. Even after defending it, and arguing for it, it's still "how could you even make that mistake...oh and Boro led it!" I'll admit a mistake, but in my opinion, I didn't make one with Mira...maybe I have somewhere else, only time will tell.
