So you thought the same as bey & Megatron, but didn't feel moved to vote to lynch like they did?
To be clear, my same thought as bey and Mega was 'CHRIST, DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT!' and not so much the 'vote for the scum' thought. I think if you read my posts after that one, you can see why. I have made the same mistake as Kael in the past. I don't think it means he's scum, though he could be a traitor. But there is every chance it was just poor play (imo, obviously some people disagree with this) , in which case I'd be voting for a townie. I didn't vote for him or anyone because I wanted more info.

AND PRESUMABLY ANY SCUM WHO MAY BE PLAYING THE GAME. I didn't see it and I didn't make any connection but some of you did. Enough to tell that it wasn't as subtle as Nightson may have thought. Although he is saying that there was no hidden messages in it.

I don't know. I read that and moved on. It seemed obvious without actually pointing to Nightson as a special. I also note that I'm voting for him so;

unvote.
:lol: I know fragment addressed this already, but come on. On one hand you say 'jeez if it was SOOOO obvious, why do you care if Kael pointed it out' and then turn right around and say 'I didn't notice it at all' :lol:

Um, maybe we didn't want Kael to mention it because obvious to some isn't obvious to others. Thanks for making that clear for us :D

And I don't think Nightson is a locked in special btw. The type of thing that he said, a 'breacrumb' if you want to call it that or possibly even a slip up sometimes, is the type of thing I file away and keep in mind when I read a person's later posts. It isn't 100% of course, but it's a pointer, like so many other parts of the game. There are other people I'm watching because of little 'pointers' they've posted.

Do you really believe this, especially (but not only) the bit I've bolded? Because if you do, you must want all town specials to out themselves right away. Are you sure that's what you want?

If not, then we agree that there are some pro-town reasons to keep some information under wraps, for now. We may still disagree as to which those are, but that's a different kettle of fish.
Exactly.

Seriously Gonzo, I would like you to address that. If you can agree that we shouldn't just get all specials to out themselves right now, surely you can see that having certain conversations is also bad.

I can totally get that you might disagree what those types of conversations might be, but to just say flat out that everything should be talked about no matter what and that trying to stop talk about anything is bad for town... I think that is just plain wrong.

I know it's a good game when I wake up each morning to 100 posts :cheer:
