Definitely no offense. I am a man, but all this conditioning as a Novice started accidentally curtsying and ended up walking about in a dress with pigtails wringing moatwater out of my lingerie. I may have some unresolved issues there *shrugs*

Instant suspicion on anyone agreeing with Turin. Lol at the lady(sir), kind of apt for me.

I've played two games on DM. But they both had Zander in them so that is pretty vast. Sure there is an adult joke in there about different opinions on the size of things but I'm too lazy to make it fit the PG13 rules.

Me: There are a lot of early votes. Ithi: Yeah, we are all having fun playing together again after a long time. Turin: So, tell me about your relationship with your Mother and how this makes you feel about these "many" votes. Did she vote early in a game?

Yes, I do. Them being "love taps" for old time's sake does not make it any less of a lot of votes for this early in the game. Not sure I appreciate your attempt to frame this as anything other than a straightforward comment. Feels like you are trying to manufacture drama, Mr. Llama. You'll have to try harder to get a raise out of me 😄

But the game would know this as we haven't been to the Air Temple and we do have a +1 bonus, lol. But fine, I can sense resistance when I encounter it, lol.

Alignment Indicativetive - or some grammatical form of those words. Obviously also with NAI being non-AI.

I see what you are trying to do there, lol. There is no such thing as least appropriate at this point, I don't have any inside knowledge of which votes could be significant to which team. I have never fallen into the camp of claiming actions in first few minutes of the game are AI. Not in any of vast experience of Mafia. Do you have an opinion on the appropriateness of the voting?

Not sure what point you are trying to make.

What did the guy say? Don't be heavy but light of spirit or something? Makes me think we should go for the Breath path - though balance has been a central theme so far, it doesn't seem to mean that kind of balance.

It was a long time ago (about thirty years roughly) and I may not have really known what I was doing, to be fair.

I'm happy to be outvoted but that means the other slackers have to pull their finger out, lol.

But there isn't any point making claims on other people's behalf. There is not need to state your opinion - whether positive or negative - and then present this as the majority view in lieu of actual reasoning. If it is a popular view, we'll see it come from more than one person, repeatedly. I could be mistaken, but in series 2, did you not say that you knew a large number of non-readers who were greatly enjoying the show? How is this group of 60 odd people finding the third series? Or am I misremembering?

No one is talking about giving the entire arc to anyone else - we were specifically talking about someone being a mentor Egwene so that she isn't just natively the most astute politician for a thousand years (and indeed, do we even need to assume they would not just do that?). The show will not have any time to do any more than thumbnail sketch the political situation - probably something of two Aes Sedai being at loggerheads so both support Egwene to spite the other. There is no need to have the whole arc of Suian in there just to make that seem more believable. Heck, is Elayne not there for part of it? A bit of exposition in dialogue between the Wonder Girls, Nynaeve insults the Aes Sedai, Elayne gives some political advice, Egwene says "I'll never give in!", job done. And that is just one possibility. You appear to be attaching an awful lot of import to what you would like to see, rather than accepting the show, even if perfectly done, cannot keep the level of detail that you seem to expect. Not with the screentime available. However much many people might hate losing Suian at this point, I don't understand how people cannot accept that it is a reasonable solution to triming down the narrative going forward, even if you don't agree with it.

And also given the stature of the actress, it probably makes more sense to have Leane go forward as Suian/Leane if it is going to be a bit part, if they choose to do that, at least.

What is it with people assuming that they speak for "most" of the fanbase. I thought the whole Salidar thing was a bit drawn out. While Suian is a master politician, she is also very young for an Aes Sedai in the books. Another Blue could be promoted, Leane could be revealed as Suian's campaign manager, Moiraine could advise her in the dream... Given the short screentime available it seems unlikely that this plot would be hugely developed. Plus the whole stilling story-line relies heavily on internal pov, how would you film what she was experiencing? Having Suian die at the coup makes sense, when you have so much to prune. Whatever they do with things like Salidar, they cannot have the original cast of thousands for story lines that are only going to take up a few scenes. There will need to be a pro-Egwene faction and two opponents. Easy enough to find a mentor for her who can double up with another role (such as one of the informal council that was in charge as Suian could not be one of them as she was stilled). Also removing her removes the need to devote screen time to the relationship with Moiraine, or be criticised for not doing so.

That is quite a lot of voting for a game that hasn't as such started yet...

That is so not my experience of NPCs, lol. Always got me annoyed when they would sell you stuff for a hundred gold and then buy it back for 1 gold especially in things like Diablo when you were literally travelling into demon-infested dungeons to save their village but they cannot sell that shield you sold by mistake back to you except at a 10x mark up. Ooo, and mobs that fight you in a full suit of armour with two huge axes and then drop a rusty penknife when they die, sooo annoying lol. I'm sure they have done skits on those already.

Well we were trying to get the Air Temple before Kevin sidetracked us so maybe we should just get on with getting our masteries of the elements before we settle down to a 9 to 5? I think we are too young to settle down, no matter how great a steady reliable life with Kevin sounds.

Space

I just though we should be able to vote for other people than Lenlo. Seems a flaw in the game if you can't. *shrugs*

Toast

You have to vote for Lenlo? That seems unfair, even to me.

That is worrying. The whole twitter thing thing is after my time, that means I'm generationally out of date. Maybe that means I'm cool again though? Yeah, didn't think so.
