Tol-in-Gaurhoth XVIII: The Play’s The Thing… - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have been a bad sport and my own worst enemy, haunted apparently by the ghosts of my ancestors, one of whom was falsely accused by a Hunter, another of whom was falsely played by a Fool then lynched by that same Fool and his stooge Hunter. But those are old ghosts and do not apply to this generation, so even though that baggage has trammeled me up until toDay in this village, it shall no more. I set it aside.

I have wronged all of you and I am sorry. Sorry for having been so prickly just because I was wrongly suspected; sorry for having decided that it would be fun to be an obnoxious, offensive name calling virtual orc by way of self-defense; sorry for having haughtily decided in advance that because I am innocent, I don't owe explanations to anyone. I know better now: had I explained myself sooner and better, I would not have needlessly distracted you from the real quarry.

I do not expect anyone to believe me toDay, for I realize that I have squandered any trust or patience previously afforded me. I don't expect you to change your minds about me because of these words; I'm not quite that much of a fool. Havine received three votes yesterDay, and having been the second choice for lynching by at least three more of you, I am resigned to my likely fate, and will from this point onward, endeavor to mend my ways and be a help to the village rather than an attention diverting hindrance. Maybe my contribution toDay will be useful after I'm gone.

Thank you.

p.s.: I am sorry if this only adds more confusion to you, for I imagine that some of you are thinking that LMP has hereby done a flip-flop, and is even less to be trusted. Think what you must. I am prepared for the worst.
