:D - no worries! Thanks for your visitor post by the way :) I shall endeavour to keep posting the goings on of an evening at the Settlement's newly established 'tavern': The Dog & "Daisy".

And as an aside about that game - I don't understand your willingness to jump into challenges all the time - fair enough you seem to want to prove your innocence, but by backing out against Sasaki - especially after the White Eyes kerfuffle over nothing - it just makes you look more suspicious to anyone who can't be arsed to wade through a small novelette to see the wood for the trees: Personally (and maybe because I COULD be arsed to wade through said novella) I'm not sure that you're scum, but I don't get the logic of the mason reveal - and I didn't buy that 'wheat' farmer fake reveal for obvious reasons, so at the moment I don't see why you keep jumping in and out of challenges - for me, it weakens your case.

Response- in my own typical wordy style.

I don't get the logic of the mason reveal either. Mind you, I was being challenged by someone who wanted me dead on round one for... well, basically no reasoning. I didn't want to go out like that so soon, and I revealed to White_Eyes so he could shush and maybe be a sport and protect my identity.

Note to self: D'oh!!!! Blast you, Woit Oies!!!

I didn't do it because I wanted to reveal, for cripes sake. I didn' have much of a choice, did I? And sorry if my little wheat farmer fake reveal didn't cut the mustard; I was a mason, so I didn't bother coming up with a fake role at the beginning of the game. I didn't even come up with that fake role before I started typing. I was halfway through typing it before that gem even came to me.

I'm not the best liar in the world, awl roit? I can be crafty and clever at times, but when I am just pure, full-on bovine-feces-ing, (I assume that's legal to say?) people can usually catch that pretty good. Caught me acting strange in Prometheus, caught me bovine-feces-ing in Blackadder's mafia (no one really believed me even after a SkyNet post) and in Jubal_Barca's mafia I had been pretty good at playing the townie, for sure, but not so much that it didn't warrant an investigation, which nailed me early, but the investigator stayed silent to see what I would do.

Thankfully I wasn't so stupid as to reveal my partner, who I literally tried to WOG off or get lynched in like round two because he hadn't shown up at all and left me high and dry. Fortunately Rob_the_Celt showed up to replace Chim and I finally didn't have to do it all by myself. So when it came down to Rob and Thermal Mercury (aka 777Ares777), the latter of whom was investigated and proven INNOCENT, Thermal was the one who got lynched.

The best move I made all game was to try to WOG my own mafia partner. That was a blast, it was!

Enjoy your novella?
Bottom line, and I wasn't even leading up to this point, so on a totally different topic:

I backed out of Sasaki's challenge because after his little prank which made us both look rather untrustworthy, I felt that only a townie would take such a blatantly obvious risk with his life. I refuse to be responsible for Sasaki's death in this game, and I told him so in private. Plus I were real upset at the time about something related to the game and I didn't want to be made into a further public spectacle. I don't actually enjoy that, ya know. In spite of appearances.

So for this and many reasons, I didn't see the point. Sasaki said "why are you going to waste a town lynch?" and I said that's basically what you're going to have to do at this point. But it occurs to me that if you fellows and ladies really want me dead, all you have to do is ask.

If say... 5 of you want me dead, just make a note of it in the thread and have Sasaki challenge me again. I don't see the point, beyond proving my innocence, but I'd accept without hesitation and I won't back down to that one. It is the will of the people, after all. I just don't want to throw away townie lives on the whim of one person or even two.

ooc: I've got no desire to see you two fight - or you and white_Eyes:D - As someone else already pointed out - I think it was Little Grizzley: If the duels DO prove useful to the cause it will be most likely toward the end of the game.

A figure passed the edge of light thrown from the fire outside the Dog and mumbling to himself.

"Is that that pizza fella that everyone asks?"
"Yarrr"
"Reckons 'ees 'arrrrd, I reckon"
"Nahhhh - soft as a fresh bun that one"
"Argee-men-tative tho"
"I cud 'ave im no worries!"
"Shurrup! You going to offer im out tomorrah then?"

"Nah."


"Thought so."

"So why do they ask 'im?"
"What"
"Why is 'ee the pizza fella that everyone asks?"
"Asks what?"
"I don't know"

"Then what the hell are ye askin' for?"

"Oh Nevermind"

"Buurrrrppp...ah well - Oim orff. Noight noight"
