I'm not touchy- I'm annoyed at the fact that multiple people are taking such flimsy stuff and stubbornly pushing forward in the wrong direction.

So that's two stranglings... not a wonder I felt my throat a bit sore.

People should suspect you more so it wouldn't cause such reactions anymore. I mean I don't remember you acting like that, so it must be you have avoided a lot of suspicions as really there's rather little thus far on you in this game - and more os less none you could categorise as "serious suspicion". So just relax, you're not going to end up in the gallows for a time yet.

Guess what? They haven't been right yet, and you aren't this time either.

You maybe right, or then there is the first time. There's little anyone can say about that until the roles have been revealed.

Am I missing something here? I mean the Boro-part? People went after Boro but then Boro was pushing harder than I am? And hey, unless I find better cnadidates I think Nerwen should get a pile of votes toDay.

Referring to Greenie's comment about Hades-Nerwen not in trouble - don't you guys read what others post?



Don't you read what others post?

Got your attention then, hopefully.

I have seen no argument why we should not take Nerwen's possible hint seriously. It was very early (first post) and she could have relied all the people would banter like they always do, so her little one would drown in the sea of God-names thrown around but her lover might pick it: so little danger, possible rewards - but alas! that didn't happen! It soon emerged that people were quite careful not using the banter-mode - and the whole hint-thing became a big issue.

Thanks for reading.

Now respond to that and do not just say it's far-fetched off-hand.

EDIT: X'd with a few...

No, what I meant was, you seem to be pushing Nerwen a lot harder than anyone pushed Boro yesterday, for the same exact thing. All she did was say 'What the Hades?', as I recall.

And to say that you say this:

And you think we should go after others because of wordings?

Ah, I see. There's a typo there (missing word). It should be -

My bad.

To Nog regarding Nerwen-

The reason for accusing her is her first post, in which she says "What the Hades is going on here?" When that statement was pointed to yesterday, she responded with these statements-

These explanations are essentially the same thing that Mac gave to me today- a complete and utter denial of having intended anything at all.

The fact is, Hades would have known going into the day whether or not he was going to hint, and also would have been aware that such hinting was likely to be pointed out. There would be a plan in his head for that eventuality, surely? He would have an explanation ready! So, why didn't Nerwen give a more graceful and intelligent explanation (i.e. claim that she was helping the village by giving Persephone false leadings for instance)?

No- I place her explanation and Mac's in the same boat. Both make me feel better. I may be wrong, but there it is. You may not agree, Nog, but do you see my reasoning?
