No! You underestimate yourself, and our opinion of you. I for one was concerned that you were just being unbelievably cunning, making a brilliant show of being stressed and nervy in order to fox us all....

Lalaith hit it exactly...

I did think you were the goose...but I thought it was an absolutely brilliant strategy, and envied you the cunning necessary to throw so many up against eachother. And then after I was dead, Glirdy revealed his Seerishness to me in a PM...so I thought I had proof that you were a Goose and was even more impressed.

Stressed and nervy is my default setting so I thought I was being quite natural! And do you think I would have admitted to the worlds dullest occupation if hadn't been telling the truth!!!! You know of all jobs, accountants avoid telling people what they do for a living for the longest? That is a statistical fact. There is only one accountancy joke too....

Well you may have to be in the trade to find it funny:

Q What's 2+2?

A What do you want it to be?

*dies of laughter*

Really, Mith, I found your nervousness odd, because every other game I've played with you, you've been the voice of reason. You're panic and over-reaction was amazingly different than what I've seen from you before. I guess this game just had poor luck in the timing category for everyone. *hugs*

I felt ratty rather than nervy at the time- PMT can be mitigation for murder you know!! and given my extremely limited net time I was rather annoyed (knowing that I was innocent) that the best thing our "great minds" found do was count my punctuation. They had said they wanted to seriously catch ducks and seemed to be rearranging the proverbial deckchairs. Of course that made them look suspicious to me but of course the more I tried to fight back the worse I looked

Roa, bear in mind you had played with me as a rather gormless innocent (who Anguirel found useful to keep alive a little too long! ) and a very fatalistic wolf. Remember our PMs when I said that I would be grateful not to be lynched Day one again? I was so relieved to do that that everything else was a bonus. I think giftedness does make you play slightly differently - you are looking for your target for dreaming/ protection perhaps more than the werebeast. It was very like being Draugluin and I blew a fuse then too

Haha! That was actually pretty funny Mith.

Roa, Mith tends to get stressy when she's a Gifted (cheers for that clue Mith ) because she has to keep it hidden yet not get killed at the same time and it seems to make her panic. I can see why I must admit! The one time I was Seer I think I reacted the same way and ended up dead by Day 3.

But don't worry Mith, we love you really! It's just during the game we want to kill you
