Sorry, I misread it as “I’d leave off Rob, Kl3m, Blips, and for reasons you already stated”

422

No list will be safe until we identify all the evil ones. That means, according to you, we should have no list. Really?

423

Because after Annie named what I think is a sensible team - i.e. not including the people we should suspect - you announced a weak justification for voting it down. Opposing every team not including yourself is not sensible or practical. To be clear, at this point I would accept a team excluding me as long as it also excluded Rob, Kl3m, Clyve, and you. As a justification for a ‘no’ vote, this is pretty weak. That makes me suspicious. Then Kl3mnop, who we have good reason to suspect at this point, launches a campaign to shift the next card distribution to you. That makes me more suspicious. I don’t know you’re evil, but I would not name you to a team.

424

By that logic, if I were to endorse you then we should keep you out of all future teams! Guilty by association - or I guess in this case, reference - right?

425

You are putting words in my mouth. Saying “I think these three are safe for quest one” is different from “pick from these, and not from these”

426

Obviously we have limited information this early in the game but some of you are taking rob’s card distro and forming a narrative from it (that doesn’t explain a lot of the other information that we have) and treating it as if it is the only possible explanation for rob’s action.

That is what is suspect.

427

You say that my reasons are weak and not sensible. To this I say, my logic is by far more sound than yours; I’m not running around accusing people of being evil (or good) based upon hearsay and paranoia.

All you are doing is sowing confusion. You can’t even keep your own thoughts consistent.

428

Sorry, I don’t mean to put words in your mouth. I must not understand your objection.

429

I think I made it clear that those are my suspicions, not necessarily facts. If not, I do so now. I could be wrong, and I’ll certainly change my mind if and when the evidence warrants it.

430

Can you name a team - 3 members - not including you, which you would accept? Can you name any players you would exclude, and articulate why?

431

I don’t trust Scott, but kl3m joining my side of the argument makes me question that…

Either way, I think we need to weigh this one heavily because Scott gets to vote on the success or failure AND gets the next batch of plot cards if we send this team.

432

What do you conclude from Rob’s card distribution? Nothing?

433

Apologies to keep bringing up events from past games: Dave made a really weird 1st Team choice…which turned out to make total sense as he was Merlin. But until the very end it looked totally suspect.

Hypothetically, rob is Percy. He knows Merlin and Morgana…but not which is which. All he knows is its jostly and annie.

Should he still give cards to either one of them? One of them IS EVIL. He is sure of that. In that hypothetical.

All I’m saying is I don’t build a whole narrative around “the Evil triumvirate” (which apparently has changeable members) based on that one action. And I find but suspect that you do.

434

Sure, overheard conversation, why not? He gives the card to Merlin, Merlin reports he’s good; he gives it to Morgana, she reports he’s good. In both cases he’s been vouched for. If Morgana lies, he knows who Morgana is. Any way it’s a win, right?

435

It was a hypothetical to consider that the action might not be as black and white as you make it out to be. Your response is noted.

436

Sorry, Kl3mnop, but I think this is a bit of a dodge. What do you infer from Rob’s card distribution? Not as a hypothetical, but in this real instance? Nothing?

Myself, I can only think of one good reason for it. I’m open to another, if you want to offer it.

437

As I was a proponent of shaking things up to make EVIL uncomfortable by taking unpredictable paths, I thought it was well-played.

That it elicits such a strong response from you is equally interesting, I think.

438

In fairness, your reaction has worked to strengthen my suspicion at every step. Rob’s choice was not necessarily binary. He could have given OC to annie or jostly so he could be vetted; and then cast the other cards as far as he wanted down the list. Right?

439

This was the obvious and only really Good choice to me…that + handing out all 3 at once was a key sign he’s got to be Evil. A Good player would have wondered, “To whom am I handing out these powerful cards?” but he didn’t need to wonder that. He gave at least one of those two more powerful cards to an Evil knight for sure, just not 100% sure who that is.

440

If there’s one thing truly Good players should remember, it’s that card distribution is KEY if you’re Evil. You should know that one well, kl3m! That’s how I suspected you were Evil a few games ago. Throwing that card to Dave (I think), then doing the signal thing, etc. I don’t remember the exact details now but you tried to put it off as a mistake, etc.
