Fable speaks big words but has already proven responsible for harshly ending one alliance. Don't be on the receiving end of the end of another messy divorce.

I am loyal to my allies, as are my compatriots in the Democratic Republic.

Am I weird for not responding well to traitors? I would think my reaction was normal, I have a responsibility to look out for my factions best interests and staying with you wasn't it.

You're the only traitor I see here.

I feel a great swell of pity for you, though. I honestly think you betrayed our alliance because you believe what you are saying. Still, the fact that you were acting on misinformation doesn't change what has to happen next. I too have a responsibility to look out for my faction's best interest after all, and right now that responsibility is forcing me to react as I am reacting right now.

You done **** up good, Fable. Oh well. T'is a shame. I had so much hope for our partnership.

Maybe if the transparency in our alliance wasn't so one-sided things could have been different.

It was so now your democracy is going to be burnt to ash and I'm not going to feel any regret watching it burn.

Take it easy, it's just a game. And not even a good one.

Lol. Fair enough, Cato. Fair enough.

Tell you what, I'll just send my messages to you directly, since Fable's power is he gets a copy of whatever PMs are sent to you. That way you and Fable get to see them, and we don't clog the game thread.

No, but, seriously, I think you've got a really good game here, Cato. You shouldn't be so modest.

Oh is that how we're playing it?

Guess I should stop fronting and just vote for numbers since he's the one with KoD's guns.

vote:Numbers

Is he, though? Is he?

Yeah he is, like I said before your actual leverage is zero.

There's nothing you, or mown, or numbers, or anybody else did last night that I don't know about.

The one in control here isn't you, it's me. I can leak everything I know about you right here and now depending on how far you wanna push this.

Well, he was given the Fuerer's secret armory wasn't he?

...Dang it Fable! That would have had a lot more effect without the ninja.

All the way.

Here's the thing, Fable, I've got quite a damn bit of leverage and you know it.

Let's look at the facts, shall we?

The Communists HAVE to work with the Fascists, unless you want to throw one of your own to the wolves to make an alliance with someone else work. And you can't afford to do that because you're already outnumbered. The Democrats and the Monarchs have ALL THE GUNS. Your only hope is to convince the Monarchs to point their guns at us, which, let's face it, why would they do that?

Oh yeah, I guess if they take your word that I'm a lying sack of ****, that might convince them.

But I'm not. I've got a whole reputation built for years around telling the truth.

So what does that leave you with? A partner who right now is shaking her head at your blatant suicide.

I feel bad for Rag.

As you wish....

-Mown's ability to vig someone and give there ability to someone was a one shot so he's no longer a threat to anyone.
-Numbers targeted Hello World with some ability last night so I guess you guys don't trust Hello World very much.

Effectively all you factions power is in numbers now, take him out and you're actually pretty weak.

Also the only person who knows who KoD gave his guns to are me and the people with KoD's guns. Weird you think KoD would tell the truth about that when you said he was lying about you.

I assume most people tell the truth until I have evidence otherwise.

For example, I am assuming you are telling the truth when you claim KoD told you that I told him your faction, but for all I know that conversation between you two never took place.

And Numbers targeting HW with anything is news to me. The guy hasn't been very forthcoming with private communications so far.

Anyway, I'm growing tired of this discourse.

Jeez. You remind me of Popular Pariah.

I bet you are. It's sobering isn't it? Having a mirror held up to you and seeing nothing but weakness? Why would anyone want to ally with you when you could be so easily devoured instead?

I will have a significant drop of activity here for a while. Big family stuff. Will check in when I can, but both open and personal communication will diminish. Sorry about that.

Hope all is well, Aaarrrgh.

Back from work. Did I miss anything?

@Zinger - you are wrong on a few things there. However, as far as I can tell (and I tried to corner him) Zinger has not actually lied. He's skirted the truth a bit, but I've not seen him lie.

Fable should have some good information now, as do I. Most people seem to have figured out my role/ability, but not everyone, I think.

And, I'm pretty sure (again, Fable could confirm this) that the Dem's are not in control of KoD's guns. His ability was a one use per game, and I fully expect that it was used last night.

I'd be interested in an alliance with the dems, if there was any way that I could believe that such an alliance would hold through the end game...
