Swowl, math... you’re right that I have not thought things all the way through. I just don’t know how to demonstrate that I’m telling the truth other than to keep telling the truth. Knowing me, the flaws in my logic are gaping and obvious. But there has to be some way to demonstrate that the fortress protects if there are no scum in it short of exiling me.
I literally have no idea why everyone thinks it is more likely that I am lying about everything, in multiple qts and the thread, and, we’d believe Brights interpretation of how the fortress protection works even though it doesn’t make any sense for it to work the way he says, he’s has never explained it that way to the people in it, and it doesn’t resonate with the messages in the fortress...and if he is protected from the sword axe because it came from scum Swowl or scum Galz, why that makes me scum? I just don’t follow. I have very little confidence in my doctoring abilities, so a plan where Swowl tells the qt that he’s targeting bright and then I have to doctor him is terrible.
Going into last night, I understood the fortress to offer protection to those inside if there were no scum in it. This is based on what bright had said to pubby in the qt and this is what I relayed to you all. Further, the invite to the fortress and the flavor text of the qt says that if offers protection as long as I/we trust the builder. Bright has been hazy about the mechanics of the fortress protections, but at no point in the qt has bright said or hinted at that we were protected from attacks as long as the attack came from scum. It took me a while into today to go reread it all, but I am certain now that he did not say that. Finally, this morning the flavor text of the qt said that the fortress was attacked last night but had survived. The status of the fortress so now a bit on the wobbled side instead of the sturdiness it had been described with on the start of days one and two. That was completely in line with what I think happened. No scum in fortress. Brighty was hit with the axe. The fortress protected him.
I thought axing bright was a good idea because if there were no scum in the fortress, he’d be safe. If he was scum (which I thought) then he wouldn’t be safe, but it would be a useful shot. I never considered doctoring him because I’m not sure my doctoring works very well. (Oh wait...if I am scum, wouldn’t my doctoring have failed since he now says that the fortress means protected from scum even though that if I am scum the fortress wouldn’t provide protection. More things that don’t work!)
I doctored Awaclus.
Faust is the person who was killed. Why are we exerting no effort to find his killer? Awaclus has distracted us for the entire day with all things WCD.
