I ALREADY SAID.You’re clearly here. Why not explain now if you’re on the chopping block?
I ALREADY SAID.You’re clearly here. Why not explain now if you’re on the chopping block?
I waited for the train at Coventry;
I hung with grooms and porters on the bridge,
To watch the three tall spires; and there I shaped
The city's ancient legend into this:
Not only we, the latest seed of Time,
New men, that in the flying of a wheel
Cry down the past, not only we, that prate
Of rights and wrongs, have loved the people well,
And loathed to see them overtax'd; but she
Did more, and underwent, and overcame,
The woman of a thousand summers back,
Godiva, wife to that grim Earl, who ruled
In Coventry: for when he laid a tax
Upon his town, and all the mothers brought
Their children, clamoring, "If we pay, we starve!"
She sought her lord, and found him, where he strode
About the hall, among his dogs, alone,
His beard a foot before him and his hair
A yard behind. She told him of their tears,
And pray'd him, "If they pay this tax, they starve."
Whereat he stared, replying, half-amazed,
"You would not let your little finger ache
For such as these?" -- "But I would die," said she.
He laugh'd, and swore by Peter and by Paul;
Then fillip'd at the diamond in her ear;
"Oh ay, ay, ay, you talk!" -- "Alas!" she said,
"But prove me what I would not do."
And from a heart as rough as Esau's hand,
He answer'd, "Ride you naked thro' the town,
And I repeal it;" and nodding, as in scorn,
He parted, with great strides among his dogs.
So left alone, the passions of her mind,
As winds from all the compass shift and blow,
Made war upon each other for an hour,
Till pity won. She sent a herald forth,
And bade him cry, with sound of trumpet, all
The hard condition; but that she would loose
The people: therefore, as they loved her well,
From then till noon no foot should pace the street,
No eye look down, she passing; but that all
Should keep within, door shut, and window barr'd.
Then fled she to her inmost bower, and there
Unclasp'd the wedded eagles of her belt,
The grim Earl's gift; but ever at a breath
She linger'd, looking like a summer moon
Half-dipt in cloud: anon she shook her head,
And shower'd the rippled ringlets to her knee;
Unclad herself in haste; adown the stair
Stole on; and, like a creeping sunbeam, slid
From pillar unto pillar, until she reach'd
The Gateway, there she found her palfrey trapt
In purple blazon'd with armorial gold.
Then she rode forth, clothed on with chastity:
The deep air listen'd round her as she rode,
And all the low wind hardly breathed for fear.
The little wide-mouth'd heads upon the spout
Had cunning eyes to see: the barking cur
Made her cheek flame; her palfrey's foot-fall shot
Light horrors thro' her pulses; the blind walls
Were full of chinks and holes; and overhead
Fantastic gables, crowding, stared: but she
Not less thro' all bore up, till, last, she saw
The white-flower'd elder-thicket from the field,
Gleam thro' the Gothic archway in the wall.
Then she rode back, clothed on with chastity;
And one low churl, compact of thankless earth,
The fatal byword of all years to come,
Boring a little auger-hole in fear,
Peep'd -- but his eyes, before they had their will,
Were shrivel'd into darkness in his head,
And dropt before him. So the Powers, who wait
On noble deeds, cancell'd a sense misused;
And she, that knew not, pass'd: and all at once,
With twelve great shocks of sound, the shameless noon
Was clash'd and hammer'd from a hundred towers,
One after one: but even then she gain'd
Her bower; whence reissuing, robed and crown'd,
To meet her lord, she took the tax away
And built herself an everlasting name.
I had one opened with Alissa one nightHas anyone else been given a PM from outside their group?
Sporty had nooooo claim at all and has a crap VCA
Honest to god you were part of it. Waiting to place your vote at the last possible second sketched me out so hard I wanted to go against you.How did you guys let sporty get away with that crap just now?
From the grave?I had one opened with Alissa one night
How did you guys let sporty get away with that crap just now?
Well when you put it this way.... you're probably dead meat anyway. Unless you're a wolf.A full role reveal and I’m dead meat tonight. At least I have a shot at being very useful tonight if I don’t.
Back when she was aliveFrom the grave?
Ppl have been throwing your name around for a while and feels like you haven't done much.Okay yeah sure let me defend when I’m not on the board.
And Cray.I thought the dubz NK was a weird choice, but iirc she was sus'ing sporty the night before she died
Precisely!Yeah I didn't find it very convincing. She might as well claimed, if her ability is as NK worthy as she says the wolves are going to off her no matter what.
There have been multiple points brought up against her for the past few days, just because she wasn't on the board doesn't mean she couldn't have addressed those things that have been brought up against her the past few days.

AM wasn't. Pretty sure she was village reading me or had me in neutrals. When I wolf I try to leave her as long as possible.And Cray.
I never said AM was, just Dubz. And you know I make no claims about being able to read you, so I usually rely on what other people (like Dubz) think about you.AM wasn't. Pretty sure she was village reading me or had me in neutrals. When I wolf I try to leave her as long as possible.
Dubz pointed out someone was likely trying to frame me with the AM and DocE kills. I think they added Dubz to that list.
The me vs Dubz thing hadn't hit a point where a wolfy me would kill her over that. But it's all WIFOM and there were clearly other people to take out first.
This isn't one of those games where you're a wolf and you don't sus me until I sus you, is it?
Lol you rely on Dubz' read of me? Is she good at reading me? I thought she said she has a hard time.I never said AM was, just Dubz. And you know I make no claims about being able to read you, so I usually rely on what other people (like Dubz) think about you.
Literally anyone is better at it than I am.Lol you rely on Dubz' read of me? Is she good at reading me? I thought she said she has a hard time.
I miss Skimble. I fooled her once but lots of other times she was right on.
I don't know if AM feels she can read me or not.
I never said you said AM was. Just saying looking holistically, I'm making the case these are not my kill choices.I never said AM was, just Dubz. And you know I make no claims about being able to read you, so I usually rely on what other people (like Dubz) think about you.
MsP waited until 8:59 to cast as vote on sporty and it honestly felt like me in ggoats last minute saving AM. It felt like a last minute wolf move and I didn’t like it so I made a split second decision.Seriously samac why did you break in favor of Sporty??
Stagg was only a day off from verifying his claim. I could clearly see that village intends to yeet both of them in whatever order, but doing him tomorrow had the advantage of possibly verifying his Af one way or the other.
Plus there was a chance the wolves would have NK him knowing his claim was true.
This is the fishiest thing you've done so far.
Yeah I figured out finn was a wolf a long time ago and parked my ass there until y’all decided to listen to me.A few words from stagg before his untimely demise
He wants me to tell you guys that if you don't Yeet Sporty tomorrow you're all freaking idiots. Also, Cyndia and Genny are being shady af. Genny should probably be a top candidate tomorrow as well regardless of whether he lived or not (he didn't), as she also came from Parts Unknown (HP power). The post restriction seemed wolfy AF and was related to Harry Potter which could be the parts unknown.
He thinks you guys should update the VCA charts that he did and show how horrible Genny, Samac, and Sporty's records are if you don't include Finn. He also thinks Genny gets basically no cred as she parked on Finn pretty much the entire time cause every wolf bussed.
Village should note that EVERY SINGLE WOLF BUSSED. So we need to be focusing more on the number of asterisks players had next to their name and NOT just who voted for wolves.
He thinks Sporty's attempt at emotional manipulation at the end was BS. He could have basically said the same thing about having to be out with his son all day so that excuse earns her no credit. I share his sentiment.
Lastly, he thinks anyone who actually suspected Sporty and stayed on his vote should be scrutinized especially since she had a crap VCA and no claim
I was waiting for Sporty to claim last minute (hence why I @ her), but she never did. I found it sus so I yeeted herMsP waited until 8:59 to cast as vote on sporty and it honestly felt like me in ggoats last minute saving AM.

Genny also told me she would take the blame and that made me feel better about it.
I agree with all of this.A few words from stagg before his untimely demise

She seemed like she had a claim so I waited. She never claimedI was waiting for Sporty to claim last minute (hence why I @ her), but she never did. I found it sus so I yeeted her
But did you know you’re capable of changing a vote? It’s like magic! If she put her claim out there and you believed it you could have changed instead of literally waiting till there was about 30 seconds left to throw out any vote.I was waiting for Sporty to claim last minute (hence why I @ her), but she never did. I found it sus so I yeeted her
She came on talking about a claim at like 4 minutes to close. Switching votes take timeBut did you know you’re capable of changing a vote? It’s like magic!

glad to see you doing a contingency yeet now though. Glad to see you on the board early.
Really? Cause I panicked and did it in about 15 seconds.She came on talking about a claim at like 4 minutes to close. Switching votes take time
I didn't think she was the right yeet until she refused to revealReally? Cause I panicked and did it in about 15 seconds.
you could have had a vote in before she was even on if you thought that was the right yeet
Did you think anyone was a good yeet? Cause holding your vote doesn’t help.I didn't think she was the right yeet until she refused to reveal
Looking back, since she and stagg were sus to everyone, she would have been good to yeet today. I didn't really think about that.I didn't think she was the right yeet until she refused to reveal

Lol OK, but I'm looking at Sporty, genny, Cyndia, alley, and samac now as well.MsP waited until 8:59 to cast as vote on sporty and it honestly felt like me in ggoats last minute saving AM. It felt like a last minute wolf move and I didn’t like it so I made a split second decision.
