Also super surprised nobody went after my supposition that I'd be made evil if something happens to Moonlit.
Probably something I could have picked up from the source material I tried to understand.
(But, big problem with that project... time... I was offline for a small chunk of time at the start because I was away from home fixing a relative's computer hardware. Then I returned home and found that I had my
own (different) hardware problems, including that this computer's old monitor's backlight decided to give up the ghost. And then at the end of the week I had a wisdom tooth extracted (that wasn't even causing me noticeable problems, but the dentist wanted it out... and it ended up having to be cut into small pieces to be gotten out). The swollen half-face has only just gone down and it still feels funny, even away from where the dissolving stitches are still not dissolved. So... anyway, I think I might have also been a bit grumpy and disinclined to back down from my own convictions for pretty much the whole of a week.)
I should have thought more about Moonlit's shock at your (first, false) reveal, but hindsight is a wonderful thing, eh?
(PPE: No worries about the salt... see the ()ed paragraph, above, for my own side of the story.)
Also also, what was it that was making y'all (including FoU) think I was scum?
When you weren't, I just didn't like the faking, and then honestly felt it useless to be forced to not just vote but to vote
sincerely when it was impossible. At that point, it was a wrong conclusion... but it certainly meant you were high on my radar when you
were trying to bring everyone down low. Not sure if/when you could have gotten back on my good side, by then, though... especially as your motive to be seen as non-scum then became not just a matter of trying to set the facts straight, but actually necessary for camouflage...)
I should have claimed 'Town', though (and, as I think I already said, with "Find humans" rather than "Kill humans" as my claimed goal), when I finally revealed all... I was just trying to actually be honest about my (lack of) motives at that point so that I'd be (correctly, if accidentally so) believed. But I should perhaps have lied a little, for a more palatable tale that
could have been easier believed.
