I'm only on post#145 but I've got a couple of things to say before I go further.

But even more, I am worried about those, who just suspected Nilp duckishly-lightly enough to secure their backs (not voting, not straightly accusing, but still "suspecting" or "keeping an eye"...)
You and Ang get the most obtuse award of the game so far. I did focus on the others by citing their quotes. I was letting most people read what was said. I found it more likely that at least one duck was in the little to no mention of Nilp than the two were in the mention group.

Again, being obtuse. I'm an idleman and therefore I have a lot of money and was in character asking for somebody to do my work for me. Being so pettily pedantic has my suspicious shifting to you.

*sigh* As I said I knew this could bring suspcion on me but I wanted to point out a strategy I would possibly use if I were the goose. It was also done in an attempt to make sure the owl didn't make a suddent mistake. No I don't always trust other peoples judgement as I don't always trust my own but I figured I might be able to help.

He's also been, let's face it, pretty unhelpful with a slightly reasoned vote, until this morning, when the aid he brought was...well, similar in quality to Mith's statistics yesterday morning. A useful but scarcely enlightening task performed, that's all.
It's always frustrating to attempt to help and clarify situations for people and me too and then to get slammed on the effort it took. Thanks Kath by the way for the compliement. Anguirel what have you done to be helpful to us other than continuing to speak of Nilp and give us rather condescening spelling lesson?

Again remember that I haven't read everything yet but I"m trying to catch up as quickly as I can.
