    You mean, you cannot see when somebody was last online?

    I know I could when I was just a regular member. And I could also look for recent posts made by a certain member...

    How is that using "secret spy cams"?

    I can only on those who are not in invisible mode. Mithrandir uses invisible mode and I thus cannot see when he was last on. Only greenies can see through invisible mode.

    Perhaps because Mithrandir is an invisible mod, and thus us regular townies cannot see when he's online. You, on the other hand, can.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    I see.

    But Kukri is a mod as well. So he, just like me, should have known that Mith hasn't been online for a couple of days now...

    If he (unfairly?) used his mod powers as you have.

    I want to put some more suspicion on Kagemusha.

    Something like this was discussed in Taormina. Mod's have super-mod abilities. It really isn't an "abuse" of power because they can't turn it off. Just know, that if you play a mafia game with mods, they can normally see things that non-mods can't.

    Back in the day it was agreed that mods shouldn't use their extra knowledge against other participants in the game. Even if they can see it, they should pretend that they cannot and ignore it rather than dwell on it.
    Of course its up to GH to decide how he feels about it in his game.

    @ Seamus; Basically, yes. Poor reasoning on that vote.

    Why were you so determined to try to lynch Kagemusha Last round?
    "Something can be done, by careful analysis, to sort out truth from propaganda and legend. But this is where the real difficulties begin, since each student inevitably selects, constitutes criteria, according to his own unconscious assumptions, social, ethical or political. Moral conditioning, in the widest sense, plays a far greater part in the matter than most people- especially the historians themselves-ever realize."
    -Peter Green
