I must say it is actually deeply upsetting how suspicious everyone finds me in every game I play. But what can I do? It is what it is. But the mod in those games jumping on me too? That seems cruel, frankly. But then again, maybe I really am that suspicious. Wait til I actually rand wolf and then you are all going to be dumbfounded. Until then I'll just have to put up with this disrespect, I guess. A lot words saying nothing - but also not actually casting shade on anyone. Not really. A bit of fun. Not like a vote in red and bold.

That's what I thought, lol. *whistles tunelessly* So how is everyone doing on this Easter weekend? Anyone else being beset by wolves?

Dude! Really? My words are muddled? Why did you have rand wolf on your first game, you poor thing. Got my eye on you, Ithi, lol. That is weak sauce. Everything I say is confusing, it is hardly AI. Haven't we played 20 questions together? Explain your position. Justify it. Doesn't feel right? Wolfy AF. Be concrete. I've never been a wolf, never been eliminated, looking forward to both. Wanna make a case, or is that all you have got? I must point out that again, all of you seem pretty wolfy. Have any of you actually ever randed town? Still, sure, wolves out yourself by jumping on my bandwagon, I'm a comfy ride, I can assure you. Even have complimentary lube, I think of everything.

I'm Heavy by the way, nice to meet you, Nynaeve 🙂

You tried cutting down a tree with a hammer? Actually, don't answer that, no need to embarrass yourself. A toolbox is a confusing thing. Only yesterday was trying to screw a screw with a saw. Such an easy mistake to make. (Note, this did not happen, I'm just trying to make you feel better) Only the guilty need lawyers. Are you feeling guilty? Or the accused. Who exactly is accusing me? Actions noted. At this rate, I'll need a larger imaginary notebook. See the trouble you are putting me to? So wolfy.

Wolfy misrep, obviously not a flying monkey. Actions noted.

1, attempt the temple right now! Yesterday! Get a move on, lazy bones! I think that is what it says anyway. Maybe I'm misremembering.

Difficult to judge how much of an issue the fatigue is - other than that we are tip top. Just keep going? Not much point in resting if we have to use all our EP in an encounter instead of getting rest.

I'll say press on then.

Just keep on? Fatigue is only moderate. Not sure if camping would be a good idea.

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.
