So... what secret knowledge did you take to the grave with you?

I don't know if I was so bored today because the game is going slow or if it's because my job is boring. Probably both.

Probably is both. I just got distracted by the mentions of Robin Hood. Been watching the repeats of the BBC version over the last few weeks and more specifically Richard Armitage's Guy of Gisbourne. Mmmz. Also, I'm mildly amused by the fact my grandparents technically live(d) in Sherwood Forest.

Oh yes. All dark and brooding and handsome... In other news, the Nottinghamshire Outlaws won a big (cricket) competition today. Maybe it's an omen ;D

Rogue victory omen? You never know.
I do wish people would actually say something. And I find it hilarious that Leif is starting to get suspicious of like the only person who's actually presenting much in the way of... content (as opposed to just fluffy roleplay) at all. She left DD off because she was afraid he'd cause drama. I think she just has trouble imputing evil intent to Bunny. As do we all, alas.

Funny... certainty is suspicious. But if you're not certain then you're trying to "hedge your bets" and that is suspicious too. Can't win, can you?
Next time I play - if there ever is a next time - I'm just going to ignore people if I feel responding to them will lead to a circular and unprofitable argument. That will necessitate suppressing my desire to prove that I'm right, of course, so I may not succeed.

I think I'm more annoyed by the assumption I'd cause drama over such a small, weak FoS than anything else. Srsly wrecker, give me a little credit.
Sets, were they right about you roleplaying RDJ's Sherlock? Cause I almost picked him too.

Why is it so much easier to play when you're dead?
I think drawing any conclusions from my ban is something they should all be wary of. I was an easy ban. I knew I'd be banned because I was a no information ban. I really hope no one takes my ban as a strong reason to suspect someone else because I'm pretty sure it was decided on very early and my last post had nothing to do with it.
Ban ban ban. Ban.

I think it's true that you wouldn't react to such a weak FoS from Wrecker. You might from someone who already presses your buttons. (Not like that, pervert.)
And it's easier to play when you're dead because once there's a bit of distance between you and a situation, it's suddenly so much easier to see what you should've done or what someone else should do. Easier to see what someone else should do than figure out what you should.
O/T: I was up until gone 5 this morning and I have to stay reasonably alert until 1:30. Guess who's going to be fast asleep at 1:31? Heh.

No... I wouldn't give a shit about that FoS regardless of who it came from. Sets pushes my buttons and I didn't even respond to him pointing me out. I also wouldn't ban him just because he pushed my buttons, fwiw.
And I just meant it's easier to find time to read when I'm dead.

I didn't say you would ban him. I think Sets was supposed to be Sherlock from his response to my PM prompt. I don't know whether it was the RDJ version But now you know why I discouraged you from being Sherlock...

Ahem. I now have visions of Alan Rickman (in Sheriff of Nottingham guise) chasing around with Richard Armitage with Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock mode following along. *sighs* Also, hi DD!

Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham was the best thing about that film. No arguments.

Alan Rickman is the best thing about everything with Alan Rickman in.

I'm basking ever so slightly in the irony of wrecker going ham after leaving me off lists for fear of starting drama. Teehee.

Nothing gets me riled more, as a mod, than "I didn't read the rules/my PM". Why wouldn't you? How are you supposed to know how to approach the game if you don't even know what the voting quota rules are? It's not even like there were a lot of rules this game. There's no real excuse.

Wrecker's Leif-splosion there was definitely out of no where. I'd probably throw a bit of suspicion there as a complete over reaction to questioning. OTOH, Wrecker definitely has a "only I can save the game" attitude goingon, which can lead to not handling suspicion well. Sort of, "Can't you see how hard I'm trying? Why are you wasting time on me?". Sounds like she's feeling stress from elsewhere.
I didn't put out a list of suspicious before I was banned because I didn't have one. O

I'm not sure if she was frustrated with what she felt was everyone else's lack of effort, or if she was starting to get sick - because she certainly isn't very well right now, poor thing. I am trying to get her to go to bed and stop worrying about ROMS. This is not working so well.
Oh, and Crazy's "I'm done with ROMS/Why must people suspect me for being me" guilt trip was pretty bleh in my opinion.

Guilt trips always are. One of the worst things in ROMS is when people make others feel bad for voting them, especially with "I shouldn't/won't play" threats. It's a hard line, though. I think most of us have crossed or walked the line a few times.
The extremely long explanation for "wrecks" rather than "wrecker" (one letter longer) was bizarre.
Last time I tried posting, the phone just decided to stop recognizing my text entry on this site only. Frustrating. Last post should have ended with the statement that I think one of Firebolt or Bunny is rogue.

Conclusion: Firebolt and Marinated as not on the same team. Could be a ploy, but I gotta take a risk and draw a conclusion at some point.
