I was rather pleased with my role in "outing" Mith (happily accepting the idignity of being labelled stupid), but was horrified when Glirdan then came out and named spawn. When spawn was lynched and turned out to be a Duck, I thought that it was all over (not knowing there was an additional Duck) and that my "outing" of Mith had lost us the game.

Thereafter, assuming Mith was the final Duck, I set about defending her. When she died and was shown to be innocent, I didn't know what to believe. But I thought "What the heck?". My guess was that one of them had been a False Owl.

I was so distraught last Friday that I was ready to quit. Boromir steadied my nerves and pointed out that the Saucepan Man was on my side. I did point out that since he had been trying to kill me all week that was not reassuring. I was sure you were being deliberately obtuse.... that day and the pickiness over semantics and punctuation was just too small minded. Especially annoying sinceI had (in my break- neck lunch time post) been quite pleased I had stopped myself using the definitely negative "In cahoots" and substituted the at least relatively neutral "in league". So I do think it funny you really thought I was a Duck....it provides some small comfort...
