So, in other words, Fea picked you because you'd make a great WW. Thanks for the info. I'll keep it in mind.

And Mith, you stupendously sexy innocent villager- how could you say I'm not making any sense? That's terribly cruel. But yes, I admit I'm being rather loud, and possibly annoying to some. But what can I say? I'm having fun. Lots of fun. Too much probably. That's what the problem is, I believe. Please forgive me. I'll try my best to be less happy in the future.

Fair enough, you don't want the wolves to discover your plans, but I'm getting pretty confused by all this secrecy.

Sorry, old boy, but that's the way it must be.

Sauce and I are testing each other out, you see. We're trying to guess at the ploys the other is using and aid them by keeping mum and yet tipping off the other person that we are aware of the strategy. Basically, we're wondering if we can work together, and taking steps towards building trust.

As SPM said earlier (yesterday I think), there are certain individuals that he always suspects at some point, and I am one of them. And I also suspect him in every game at some point (except the game in which I was the Seer and dreamed him on Night 1). And so, getting over this initial distrust will, for me anyway, greatly clear the air.

That's a misrepresentation.

One of the main points I started trying to get across to SPM yesterday was a point that, I believe, only he, Boro88, morm, and possibly Fea could understand, for only they have been in particular past villages with me and/or discussed particular villages with me.

I didn't feel the need to convince Boro88. He and I got onto the same page rather quickly yesterday.

If morm had been alive today you can bet I would've tried to reach out to him as well as SPM.

In addition to familiarity, another reason I was willing to reach out to him in particular was because I thought I recognized a particular ploy he was using, which made me begin to trust him.

And then when he switched his vote away from me, I thought it was possible he had picked up on a hint that I gave about my innocence, which further spoke to his innocence. And then today he voiced recognition of a ploy that I have been using.

Don't assume I don't think you're "clever" enough, lmp. You're plenty clever. This situation has to do with circumstances, not "SPM is smarter than everyone so I'm just going to talk to him and no one else".

Let me ask, do you think you are getting any of the things that SPM and I have been trying to hint at? If so, then great! And please, if you are understanding my hints then get in on the action instead of feeling insulted that I didn't direct my hints at you.
