and in the interest of total openess. i have no clue what information **ed** may or may not have that he can not share. and unless the mods are totally fucking with me i would assume the same is true on his side. i just am being a little closer to the vest about my information. and i now am convinced that a name claim is in order. ---

[quote=“Chronos, post:1487, topic:549867”] > [@](#): > > But **ed** is vanilla. And **ed** ’s information apparently involves Glorfindel, not Boromir. \ i think **ed** ’s statements have been more along the lines that he is not confirmed niller townie. i think based on game state that **ed** is town. i also think that **hoopy** voting for **chippy** based on the same durn reasoning that he is using is bull crud. i think that **hoopy** ’s vote for **chippy** yesterday was semi sound until he came out with that he thought that **burb** was the scummiest. that’s some weak sauce. **wanderer** still deserves a vote for the “we” kill statement but i can’t be a hypocrite like **hoopy** **unvote all** **vote hoopy** ---

i have no clue whether there are masons in this game. and i have certainly not been told that i am one if i am one. but a mechanism to confirm anonther person equates to me as a “mason”. i have no clue whether that is going on but i don’t put it past the bastards that designed this game. ---

Well masons generally don’t have other powers, so if you believe you are some sort of mason, then it’s reasonable to assume you are otherwise powerless. ---
