Just to answer this real quick...

When I paraphrase with a quote, the tone doesn't exactly come out in written word. But by using that statement, I was trying to say that I didn't like how you and Boro seemed to be so surprised that the village was turning on you. You both made some pretty bold statements and innocent or not, I don't think you should expect people to instantly trust you just because you claim you've been creating all these ploys to manipulate the wolves. It's the same thing if someone were to claim seership...even if they were the real seer, they can't expect others to instantly believe them until there's some solid evidence to back up their claim. So I don't see any reason why the village shouldn't suspect you guys, just as anyone else could be as easily suspected. Which is why I found your reactions to other people doubting you discomforting and suspicious. Does that make sense?

Anyways, I just recently got back from classes. I'm pretty tired so I don't know if I'll do much posting at this moment, but I promise to contribute more later in the evening....which means also looking at players other than tp and Boro..

EDIT: X-ed with Nogrod and Lommy

*sigh* Phantom always suspects me when I'm not around to defend myself, have you noticed?

Today was insanely busy for me, and it's not over yet. Ask Sally how much work goes into a tech rehearsal two days before opening night.

I am being quiet today, though, for once. I believe it's called "playing the McCaber".

Nog and Shasta, who are you thinking of voting?

And McCaber was innocent... so you are too? Is that what you want us to read from that?

Sorry Lommy but I didn't quite get your remark...

I was simply expressing annoyance at your continuing of the Boro-tp discussion...

Oh, sweetie.... *hugs you* No killing him. He's got enough on his plate.



Alternatively, I bought the fourth season of Doctor Who today! YAY!


Alternatively alternatively I started this post and then abandoned it to go to dinner, so I've probably got some reading to do.
