Legate, you're caught.

Meta-caught. But hey, whatever rocks their boat.

Same applied to Lhuna yesterday.

It might turn up beneficial/we find out more from it tomorrow, but for today, it's too much of a turnaround to make in 2 hours.
Okay, so what was he trying to say?

I mean what's the post above even supposed to mean? Am I reading the sentence correctly if I read it as "Dead, you messed up my plan"? Or?

Also if yes, then what? Did he want us to vote something else so we would cover for his Seerishness? If yes, he did a terrible job of it.

Can I also say that he's been posting horribly unclear and weird, sort of complicated posts since the beginning? I hope he isn't posting any coded message. Has anyone tried to read, say, the first letters of each of his posts or some nonsense like that? I may look at that.

Or how are you reading this? Or is it okay and now he's distancing himself from the stuff? Or what? Or did he want us to send him a Seer pick? No? (But that would be a stupid thing to ask. He should figure it out himself.)

I'm curious what in the name of all the grandchildren of Finwë is this supposed to mean.

He's got you lot figured out tho

Also: looked through Boro's posts for some obvious stuff and also his early posts for some announcement of strategy and found zip, nil, nada.

And now Rune made a post titled "The Last Will And Testament" and that makes me somewhat worried. I seriously hope he isn't the Seer But if he is and Boro knew it, then he did abysmal job of alerting us to that.

There. But I mean that means nothing, he would likely say the same also as Wolf.

Anyways, the good side certainly being that the discussion on the thread got rolling. That can't be denied. The Day was rather sleepy otherwise, it seemed to me.

Why would we "trust our gifteds" when they aren't seers? Why would we screw up the vote so badly as to let the baddies break a tie?

*facepalm*

I don't care what Boro wants, tomorrow I'm voting for one of these people who seems to think the virus is eating our brains.

I think he's distancing himself like I expected him to. I'm thinking he wanted the effect of a QT Rune vote, rather than wanting Rune lynched toDay. Hope I'm right, though.

That's what I thought too and hope that it will have a positive effect and won't result in some nonsense mess.

Let's see what tomorrow brings.

There is another trick we could pull. For instance, we could discuss Wilson's disease of the groin that results in alopecia only in the circumstance where ANA manifests as the classic combination of cerebellar intention tremor and CNS dysesthesia, and whether monoclonal antibodies would be of any help in that situation.

Half an hour to go. Bets on how many votes will come in the last 5 minutes?
