LOL. Same role as me, Visor? Or something else? How are we to figure this out without breaking the handshaking rule? Does it matter? ---

Yeah, I know Lightfoot. I’m just saying why that didn’t occur to me as being yours (or Pizza’s) meaning. I thought he was referring to the timing of the doubled vote for tie-break purposes. ---

I have to put the kiddo to bed in a couple of minutes; it can wait. But I’m guessing you didn’t find “continue on the lawful path” appealing. (Not a quote or even really a paraphrase, for the record.) ---

Post 1627 was @ Visorslash, if that wasn’t clear. ---

In case anyone’s wondering, there are really cool things along any of the Law, Neutral, or Chaotic paths. I didn’t make one alignment objectively crappier than the others. ---

Boo, you have poor reading comprehension. I never attacked you. I protected Guiri, then fubs. Did you begin as lawful? ---

I wasn’t talking to you, I was talking to the players in the game in general. @ Choie I attacked you, so what? I attack who I find suspicious. And I didn’t feel like attacking Lord Phere this round. I was Neutral/Neutral. Now Neutral/Chaotic. ---

> [@Visorslash](#): > > @ Choie > > I attacked you, so what? I attack who I find suspicious. Sure, no biggie. I was just enjoying a wry chuckle at this revelation, more at my own expense than yours. Though as it turns out, it’s poor **Guiri** who paid the price for your attack, which is a shame. Though at least I can say we’re now even. ---
