well, my berry just turned into useless dust :-( Well that certainly opens up some avenues for discussion. But, frankly, I am not sure I am up for them at this point. Anyone want to give it a go or do we just morose the night away. And yes, I know the word is used in the wrong manner. I know it's a strong word not necessarily used a whole bunch. Looks around nervously for an English teacher carrying a ruler.

I don't really see the avenue of discussion--if Idle is smart, the berries were randomly distributed and won't tell us anything.

That's ok. I am certainly not a student. Let's just pretend that I was the misbehaving school boy and you were the teacher. You have to take me to the principal's office for some discipline. Aaaaayyyyyyeeeeeehhhhhh. It says Mr. Plugger on the window. Aaaaayyyyyyeeeeeehhhhhh.

"Come on, you know you want to go to Mr. Plugger's room Peekie. You always have that extra little skip in your walk when you come out." Oh god, I am soooo going to hell.

Anything you're willing to tell us about why you didn't acknowledge your alleged berry possession, Mr. Ed? This is not a trick question or slam. I can think of many good reasons. Just curious what your thoughts were.

Ok this is no shit.
How many guys go to get the ole finger wave (prostrate exam). You're standing there bent over an exam table with you arse hanging out. Doc is lubing up on a gloved hand. Your back is to the doc. Doc's left hand goes on peeks left shoulder. "You are now going to feel a little pressure". Pressure is felt, and now Doc's right hand is on peeks right shoulder.
Creeped me out until I decided that, hey, he's a health professional. Who am I to argue.
If he wouldn't have moaned and waived the co-pay I wouldn't have felt the same way.

Just curious what your thoughts were. I was only told that I had a berry, that I would never know what it did, that it might be taken from me, and that it could help someone else. I didn't know 'how' it would be taken from me, and feared that it might help Scum in some way to know I had it. When it turned to worthless dust, I figured it didn't matter anymore.

So Ed you got some sort of notification that your berry was now worthless?
Right?

It'd be about now that I would expect some input from some " disinterested" folks. BTW, I can make the words simpler if necessary.

by PM.
In the beginning of the game, I received 2 PMs, one with my role and one with my item.
At the end of Day 1, I got another PM telling me that my item was worthless and turned to dust.

That sounds cool. The fact that it has to be drug out though makes me wonder. Us townies are going to be inquisitoru folks. Sometimes not looking like a defense witness can serve you well.

I apologize. I didn't intend to be withholding information.
I guess I just the fact that I knew my berry was worthless meant that I was obviously told my berry was worthless.
And why would you even to think to ask if I was a mason or scum and so privy to a secret board? If I were scum, did you expect me to come out and tell you, "Oh, yeah, it was on the scum board."
I'm was really just reading. I'm supposed to be grading some papers, but I'm not doing such a great job.

Actually I am I just trying to engage is discussion. Discussion is GOOD. It's the folks that don't want to discuss that concern me. More so than that the folks that that don't want to make people discuss. You are cool in my book for now.

I never played the Super Mario-games and I'm still confused with the eggs/berries-part of Buffs role (sorry to see you go BUFF - I was looking forward to a lot of fun fluff - we'll do it on FB - I hope). From the Wiki: Probably? No. As we say on the SDMB... " WOOOOSH!!!!

*gives Hoopy a big middle finger* But, seriously, have you guys seen " Barack Roll"? Somebody took the Rick Roll song and clipped in snippets of Obama's speeches. Classic, that's some funny shit!

Were you at all inclined to handshake with bufftaby once she got around to asking about berries instead of eggs? I don't know how much accuracy to attribute into bufftaby's interpretation of her role and the items involved in triggering her vig kill. Her confusion over eggs vs berries and the overt hand-shakyness of those statements left room for all sorts of WIFOM that could very well have helped to seal her lynch, but she did indicate that there were two sets of berries out there. And she did offer a suggestion that those berries might be split up between friend and foe. Since she seemed somewhat confused about the details of her role, however, I am hesitant to try and figure out which parts of her posts might have been based on straightforward parsing of her PM(s) and which might have been been based on conjecture...particularly the alleged distributions of the alignments of the keepers of her berries.

I think since she specifically said she was guessing at the distribution of the berries, and that we know Idle's not handing out any freebies, I don't think we can infer anything about the owners of said berries.

Hehe, yeah so maybe I should've been a bit clearer on the time travel part.. Forgot I was playing a mafia game, where people are paranoid. It was just a joke How would I have know yesterDay that we were going to lynch bufftabby? I mean.. it's not like Idle can give me the power of actual time travel
