[ katara is seated in front of the bonfire, cooking... well, fish. fish is probably like 90% of everyone's diet at this point honestly.

anyway, this is a good opportunity for anyone to come by. it's almost midnight don't expect me to write anything more eloquent than this dammit. ]

Very true! But I think you were present enough on Saturday to know that's not always as easy as just saying it.

[whispers they got called out]

[seaclipsed]

[ ugh ]

I understand that he was upset, but... he also didn't say anything when other people went off topic.

[vipmix]

He didn't really say anything here either, so much as angrily punch a wall.

[shrugs??]

Though I was referring to how everyone reacted in general.

[seaclipsed]

Hm. We need to get more organized for next time, I think.

[ that doesn't happen ]

[vipmix]

Keeping on track is important, though now that it's been made obvious the evidence won't matter, making sure people don't waste too much time focusing on it might be just as important.

[none of this happens.]

[seaclipsed]

I hope not... although I wouldn't be surprised if people won't hold the Chiefs to their word about that.

[vipmix]

Hmmm. Probably. [shrugs] But you've seen it for yourself-- they didn't quite hit the "outright lie" qualifier. Just very careful wording.

[seaclipsed]

... no, you're right. You have to pay close attention to what they say.

[vipmix]

It's the same of anyone on this island, really. You have to pay careful attention to what they say... And what they don't say. That's how the game is played. [heh] One of those annoying "demonstrate by example" type of thing.

[seaclipsed]

Most people aren't going to think to do that every single time though. Which they probably know.

[vipmix]

Most people probably haven't even realized it yet. It's what they're counting on.

[because it's early week 2]

[seaclipsed]

I think even if they realize it, they're still going to mess up on it.

[vipmix]

Weeeell... Probably. [definitely.] Carefully weighing every word that's being said? It's not something most people are used to.

[seaclipsed]

I have to admit, it's not something I am.

[vipmix]

Hee hee... Like I said, that's normal. The few who are, you should probably be wary of.

[... says joshua.]

[seaclipsed]

Do you think you are? I mean, you've been in a game sort of like this before, so...

[vipmix]

Oh, absolutely.

[DON'T ADMIT IT SO EASILY??]

That's why I know it's something to watch out for.

[seaclipsed]

You sure did agree to that pretty quickly.

[vipmix]

Would you have believed me if I denied it?

[seaclipsed]

...

No, probably not.

[vipmix]

Then why wouldn't I just admit it? It doesn't hurt me, and it's not like you didn't already think it.

[seaclipsed]

Because I'm sure others would hide it for reasons you just stated.

[vipmix]

Like I said, it doesn't hurt me. Being obviously dishonest would be even more suspicious, don't you think?

[....... said with no irony whatsoever]

[seaclipsed]

Yeah. Although... most people are going to be dishonest here.

[ SHE DOESN'T SOUND

TO HAPPY ABOUT THIS ]

[vipmix]

Obviously. That's how you play the game.
