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.

Now, to get down to business, the most interesting thing that has happened so far is between Legate and Zil. 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.

x/d with G55 and Boro

Just poking in to correct a misconception: Eruhen is a he. Named Phil.

That's all.

We've been wolves together in Foley's game. I don't think we were together in other games.

Zil's last post makes him look more innocent than not. He's making sense.

Plus, if he's a wolf, I'd imagine he would have let the Alcolyte speculation run its course instead of jumping into the spotlight himself.

Edit: xed since Zil

[Rikae]

Now Inzil, come out and claim what you're trying to claim so we can all see how implausible it really is!

[Bom Tombadillo]

Hmm. Both Rikae and G55 look innocent to me. 'course, G55 always looks innocent to me (I don't really know why . . .).

The (apparently - I frequently forget to look at names and end up with a sense of what a controversy is about, but not who ) Legate-Inzil thing is a bit more interesting. I need to reread the whole discussion, but don't really have the time at the moment. *sigh*
