Now someone explain to diver what’s going on. What we have learned so far is that Ed says he’s not a mason and peeker thinks he might be a sleeper agent mason with ed. Have I got that right?

> [@Gadarene](#): > > [snipped] > > It’s he, and damn straight. 🙂 Although it’s not like I was randomly bragging – post #1000 was a sincere response to **Telcontar’s** question, which may have been pointed only because I knew **Telcontar** didn’t trust me and I wanted to change that; post #1149 was mostly nervous energy; and post #1301 was a reaction to **peeker’s** implied criticism of me for making “safe choices.” > > I mean, if you’re suggesting it was a bus on my part, then you’re entitled to your opinion, but people were unvoting **Suburban Plankton** left and right at that point in light of his/her roleclaim, and I don’t think it’s exaggerating to say that **Suburban** almost certainly would have escaped a lynch if I hadn’t raised the points I did. If I’m scum, I’m not very good at it. **Gadarene** , not bussing you, just pointing out that you pointed it out a lot. Rather like pointing out that Pleonast’s been pointing out how much he dislikes Mahaloth’s vote rules quite a bit. Just a statement. And sorry about the "sh"e thing. I’ll get it right from now on. 🙂 ---

Quoth **peeker** : > [@](#): > > ok, in the game i am semi designing masons would not be told who each were. they would be given little snippets of information that if they were smart enough they would be able to connect. in that way town gets a huge bonus if they are smart enough and nada if they just pass on each other. and since there would be no ways of communication or even confirming each other then it ends up being a whole game within a game. and top it off, don’t even let the “masons” know that is what is going on. kind of let them figure it out. > > there is something that is very similar to what ed is describing with what is going on with me. if i believe him, which i do, then he is faramir. i know that i am boromir and need to take care of my little brother. i’m following canon at this point. First of all, you did read the part about how the forces of darkness have infiltrated us, right? Just because there’s someone who claims to be your brother, doesn’t mean he is. Second, this game is supposed to be accessible to folks not familiar with the canon. Third, and I realize that you only have my word on this, if **Mahaloth** intended that Boromir know who Faramir is, or vice-versa, he would have just told you (considering that that’s how it worked with me). ---
