Oh bother. Phantom, who are you thinking about? (I'd ask Nerwen and Mira but they're not here, so they can answer me when they return.)

Personally I'd really like to see Kath go, but considering that Lal didn't take that much convincing to jump onto her I'd be happy with either one (which is to say that I think lynching one will tell us about the other, as I don't think they'd be wolves together, at least not by Lal's behavior).

Darn it, I just don't know. I'll think about it and return with my Miralysis.


P.S. Good night, Nienna, dear!

How can you possibly say that when you did in fact paraphrase private words you exchanged, with the words "Glirdan said" right in front!!

So yeah, you are now making things worse by outright lying.

If that was my intent, then I have already succeeded, seeing as, like it or not, you have in fact revealed your role to us. "Hey, I know things guys. I'm REALLY smart. The SMARTEST! And I'm a virgin. No, not Hestia. I'm the only other virgin on the list besides Hestia. Oh, and I was talking to the Mod and he said I could hint at my role but not reveal it. Hee hee."

So yeah, this debate is done. You cannot spin that any other way.

Okay, this is complicated.

Firstly, phantom is right: what you've said is a reveal, Sally. It goes beyond even the broadest hint in that it cuts out all possible roles but one. So yes, I'd say that if that is your role, you're in danger of modfire– and if it isn't, we have to wonder why you're lying about it.

However, phantom, consider this point before you vote her: as Sally's hints were dropped over a number of separate posts, she may not have realised herself they added up to a reveal. I'd have to read back over her posts to see how plausible that is.

Phantom, you accused me of cheating. Do you expect me to sit around and not defend myself? First of all, your attacks on me were far less than gentlemanly, which I normally expect even from an evil you. Watering me down to newbie talk and accusing me of lying is downright low, and I’m not the most thrilled to see that you look so happy to be “getting me killed”. May I point out, yet again, that I’m on the side of the village? If so, whose side does that make you on?

Also, any specifications to my role could have been put in my original PM, or it could not have. It doesn't matter; Glirdan's word is law. If decides to change his mind when he gets back (since I've been cross with Zeus for a while and decided to have a bit of rule-bending fun of my own to undo the injustice he dealt to the village) that's fine, and I'll take a modfire with dignity, but until he returns I'm totally not going to say anything else about what my role may or may not be. And until then, it's none of your business. You don't know what Glirdan told me, and I don't know what he told you, etc. For all I know you're Pan and you're just riling me up so's that the wolves will leave us to tear each other apart toMorrow. (I'm not saying that you are, but you get the idea.) There is no reason for me to lie about what Glirdan told me at this juncture, so why even ask, or imply that I'm not being truthful? That alone is just hurtful.

And if I'm modfired, I think Zeus should have been killed too, unless there's something about his role I don't know. Zeus works for the village now that Hera’s dead. That doesn't involve killing our legitimate seer just because he fancies it. I'm just sayin'. I may or may not be bending game play, but that’s sabotage, and I don’t care for it in the least.

Can I stop being moody and defensive now? I want to listen to the storm and get ready to kill a wolf. Also, Mira’s waiting in another window. Can I go back there now? That'd be super great.


EDIT: x'd with Nerwen. Great, now I'm just cranky.

I don't know who I'll vote for. No one seems to have followed the trail of evidence I left earlier to its logical conclusion, so I suppose I'll just tack my vote onto one of these other people.

Was about to post this when I saw that Glirdan had shown up, so I figured why not. Here be a postie post about all this drama.

And THERE's the post that Phantom's so cross about. (Incidentally, the joke that I'd planned to tell earlier was similar to this post, except more personal, so I decided to keep it to myself.) On some level of that personal level, it was supposed to be an in-joke for Phantom, meant mostly for his enjoyment (and Duck's should she ever trawl the game) and it fit so well right there that I decided I had to keep it.

Incidentally, since we're sharing, who are you then?

....

That's what I thought.
Meaning here that over half the village can't reveal anything at this point. If you've gleaned who I am, fine, go with it, I don't care.

The other part I shan't explain because it doesn't even matter.

ETA: How ridiculous can I be here exactly? As long as I don't say "I am *censored*" I'm technically following the rules.
Needless to say, I don't do well when I'm frustrated. Foley asked me a question I couldn't answer, which I completely wanted to, so from then on (and slightly before, rather) the next few posts were just ridiculously obvious.

And this is where I realized that Foley legitimately had no idea what was going on, and now thought that I was calling her stupid. I couldn't have that. I felt bad.

So I said that, thus letting her know that I wasn't calling her stupid, I was being in-character. Someone else said that before if memory serves me correctly, but I'm too lazy to look up the post at the moment. (The addition of Risk and pancakes being a huge hint was mostly a joke, by the way.)



See what I did there? An irresistable joke and the urge to make someone feel better about themself and I'm suddenly evil and cheap. *meeps* Subtlety works for only so long, and when innocents turn on the village there's very little to stop me from trying to help give the village an edge back. I never intended to straight up reveal anything, but with stress and lack of proper time and goading from a few people I was definitely more obvious than I intended, for which I apologize.

HOWEVER, the only thing this argument has done is make it really hard for anyone not to figure out my role. Fabulous.

In other words, you didn't outwardly reveal, thus still obeying the rules, thus having me not needing to Modfire you or anyone (except myself maybe because of my epic failures as of late...don't ask) and the game can go on.

BE ADVISED THAT IF THIS KEEPS UP I MAY MODFIRE OUT OF PURE SPITE! Yes, I'm in that kind of mood. Killer headache and stress do not mingle very well.
