Ok, that took a long time and wow was there a lot of apologies, excuses, and fluffy historical commentary about other games, inside jokes, ongoing strategy debates…and not much about this game.

Other than what has already been quoted recently, I think this is worth bringing up:

That’s no longer an issue, unless by some remote chance there are no masons in this game, an eventuality that I’m not prepared to waste time thinking about now. They were bad ideas, which aren’t themselves scummy. The flaws in Chuchara’s idea had been exposed by the end of Night 0, and his reaction to the problems didn’t make me any more suspicious.

The statement about how there could be no masons, ergo even an un-counter-claimed mason carries risk caught my eye. It is valid, but in my mind it pretty much goes without saying, yet he said it. It could also be seen as possibly fishing for another mason to come out and back **pede** up (which I’m glad no one did). It might be interesting (though admittedly confirmation bias) if Hockey Monkey happens to remember that statement and whether or not she had any thoughts about it at the time, as one of pede’s fellow masons.
