ya, and no offense to anyone, but InfidelKiller... um, how to say? Dude is paranoid, and comes off as really desperate. His current "alliance" option is "I don't share any borders with him, but I think we should stop attacking each other and go after him". Huh? How will you do that????

I assure you he is neither paranoid, nor desperate. However, like me, he is out to win. And the one and only way to win is to eliminate all other players. Not holding continents, not making and keeping alliances, not any of that. You can't trust him (when playing Risk) and you can't trust me.

However NOTHING I say in chat is personal or serious, and nothing he says in chat is personal or serious. We both try to reign it in with other people (people outside of the group we play with), but once you've played with somebody there, it's easy to forget, and start playing the no-holds-barred, ultra trash talk games we're used to.

Like Buffistas, we sometimes forget other people are not us.

Oh ya, I totally know that. It's just IK says the *same* thing every time. In my head, I picture him running around flailing his arms over his head, screaming like chicken little that the sky will thwap us ALL if we don't team up against "x" player. Just makes me wanna thwap him and say "shut up and play". Alas. I don't.

I've been trying to as often as I can, ever since I caught on to his "Let's try and manipulate the other players into doing my dirty work through chat" plan.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

it's a 7GP to send someone to the brig (you have to move to the Admiral's Quarters). I can help a little.

Ya, I have nothing that can help with that, sad to say. Adm? how about you?

If we can't be sure of brigging Roslin, lets not waste the cards.

That's what I'm thinking. But we haven't heard from the adm yet.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm assuming you mean Admiral rather than Admin; though I will note here, you're the Admiral now, Boomer.

Technically, but it was given to me by an apparent Toaster. I know my place. I'm a Raptor Jock. As soon as we hash out this skin job crap, I'm happy to give it back.

But I'm not a toaster!

Would a toaster work so extra hard to get you to trust me, just to get you to let me out of the brig?
