While hidden clues would certainly be very helpful, the moderator is supposed to be impartial and generally anything s/he writes is not meant to give hints towards anyone's role. (Have there been precedents of this kind of hinting from the mods in other games? From the games I've played in, there have not been, and in some cases the mod even gave a disclaimer that none of his/her posts contained clues. Maybe if we could get a little disclaimer or something from Sleepy on this to tell us whether his posts are valid clues or not?)
Are my posts valid clues? Perhaps... I'll tell you this much, whatever I say could mean anything. It depends on how you read it and what you want to believe. None of my hints will be solid and they could mean anything, so think before you do anything. Because who knows, maybe I'm not pointing out what you believe I am. So basically whatever I say could have a double-meaning or you could be missing what I'm trying to say all together.

Good. I was hoping they were that subtle. In other words, it's not really worth it to break our brains over them. Stick to the discussion, folks, is what I say.

Well, I'm kind of relieved too. It would have taken brains the size of a planet and all the 24-hours / day to go through all the possible allusions - and their reversals...

But they, or the confusion about their status, sure "helped" at the first day madness. There was something to do! And maybe there will remain some tracks for later days... Happily we didn't kill anyone on the basis of those bad-leads.

Anyhow. The death of a wolf was taken from Sleepy's hint in the end!!!

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I thought Sleepy was clear.

I'm not sure, whether you are serious, or then just riddling... But wasn't the theory about Ka taken initially from the Cupid's arrow at Sleepy's description?

Or is it just, that you haven't read the posts?

And if you were just pulling my leg, then... I deserved it.
(I can only defend myself, that you had no smilies in your text: what a poor defence that makes!)

Thanks but I was just confused I thought you ment for us to look at his end post.I get what you mean now. Even though the arrow thing could have been a fluke. (There I added some smilies for you)

Surely it could. And that was, why I so wondered about it (to go to such extremity, as to bold it!!!)

Thanks for the smiles!
