Legate replied first, but now everyone's repeating the same thing (which I thought had been general consensus for ages anyway- it was when I last played) about any discussion being better than no discussion.

And I was fine with the discussion at first, but what I didn't want was for people to keep speculating about the Acolyte indefinitely.

Indeed...

Since it's already going on, I see no need to spell it out.

Legate is of course right that saying "But we have to catch wolves" is a) easy and b) doesn't achieve anything in actually catching them [plus c) it's more or less saying "look how determined I am to catch wolves, I can't possibly be one"], and also in criticizing Zil for keeping aloof of the Acolyte discussion without suggesting an alternative.

See above. Once people left off guessing about the Acolyte, the alternative began to come to the forefront. I may seem cryptic, but it really is pretty clear.

Unless Legate is a baddie smelling an easy lynch. However, I do agree that others are more worrisome than he.
