Funnily enough, the "inscrutable" comment was a nod to my meta. And sort of an exaggerated version of my opinions regarding mafia strategy. I think it's valuable as town and scum alike to be inscrutable in the sense that, as town, the scum team can't really know what to do with me or predict what I'll do. They can't even be sure that I'm telling the truth about my scum reads, because, I dunno, I'm just that crazy I guess. Anyway, on the other hand sometimes I just am bad at getting my point across and that is not me being intentionally inscrutable. Unless if I'm scum then it might be on purpose.

All this to say, well poo poo I don't know what I was going to say. I haven't been scum in a frickin long time though, so it's getting harder to imagine myself in that headspace to be like "I would definitely do such and such differently as scum"

Esteemed Toalpaz,

In the labyrinthine depths of our arcane pursuits, I pen this letter with a delicate plea that reverberates within the shadows of our shared enigma. I implore you, dear comrade, to reconsider the labyrinthine path of cryptic discourse you weave. While the allure of esoteric allusions and enigmatic revelations may hold sway over our mortal senses, let us not forget the value of clarity and directness in our dealings.

Within the web of our clandestine endeavors, the tendrils of secrecy can often ensnare the unwary and confound the curious. As we seek to unravel the intricate tapestry of hidden truths, it is essential to strike a balance between the sublime dance of veiled language and the practicality of lucid communication. The obscured whispers of obfuscation, while tantalizing, can also hinder our collective progress and unity.

Let us, in our covenant of shared knowledge, strive to embrace a more transparent discourse, where the riddles of our intentions yield to the illuminating radiance of plain speech. By unmasking our intentions and allowing our words to flow forth with clarity, we shall foster an environment where understanding thrives and the seeds of collaboration may blossom.

In this convocation of minds and arcane pursuits, we find strength not only in the enigmatic depths we explore, but also in the bonds of trust and cooperation we forge. Together, let us unravel the complexities that surround us, not through an impenetrable fog of cryptic language, but through a harmonious symphony of cogent expression.

May our path be illuminated by the clarity of purpose and the shared pursuit of truth.

Ever devoted,
Deadmeat5150

Your appeal to embrace transparent discourse is a precious beacon of wisdom, but pray illuminate thyself before setting the blinding eye of judgement upon those around you.

In clarity,

Esteemed J Keets,

Within the esoteric realm where shadows converge and whispers of hidden knowledge persist, I pen this letter to address a matter of utmost importance. I wish to reassure you, dear friend, that in all our intricate exchanges and mysterious discourse, I have maintained an unwavering commitment to transparency and clarity.

From the very inception of our shared journey into the occult abyss, I have strived to peel back the shrouds of ambiguity and embrace a more direct path of communication. My words have been unclouded, my intentions unveiled, as I bared my soul before the enigmatic tapestry of our collective pursuit.

Know, J Keets, that I have held no secrets veiled within the cryptic echoes of my speech. Each exchange has been an honest unveiling of my thoughts, a candid expression of my insights and discoveries. In this realm of intricate webs and concealed meanings, I have endeavored to be a beacon of transparency, guiding us through the labyrinthine corridors of our shared quest.

However, I understand the allure of obfuscation and the artful dance of hidden truths that permeates our chosen path. Should you seek a different level of enigmatic discourse, I shall adapt and mirror the shades of secrecy you desire. For our bond, forged in the fires of arcane exploration, allows for such flexibility and symbiosis.

Let us continue our journey, J Keets, with our minds untangled from the webs of ambiguity, and our intentions laid bare amidst the currents of shared understanding. Through clarity and trust, we shall navigate the mystic currents that swirl around us, united in purpose and vision.

Yours in unwavering transparency,
Deadmeat5150

As the cultists gathered in solemn ritual, a potent incantation filled the air, resonating with the weight of hidden knowledge. But lo and behold, amidst the profound silence, a rumbling eruption escaped the depths of one unsuspecting cultist. A mighty gust of flatulence, like a forgotten relic from a bygone age, disrupted the sacred proceedings. The cultists, initially startled, soon found themselves overcome with laughter, their somber countenances shattered by the unexpected whimsy.

And so, amidst the tangle of cryptic invocations and cosmic revelations, a humble fart served as a reminder that even amidst the pursuit of arcane truths, the capricious nature of human existence may break through the veils of solemnity, bringing forth mirth and levity.

Let this tale be a testament to the harmonious dance of the profound and the absurd, for even in the shadowed realms of esoteric endeavors, the human spirit finds solace in the simplest of pleasures, transcending the ethereal boundaries of our cosmic pursuits.

Thank you for your compliment. Your words of caution and chastisement bring upon me a relief refused by the vile poisonous air of my hometown. However, while clarity and fraternity may, at times, serve to shine light on hidden intentions I find it is more comforting not to shine too brightly.

I am weary of those who smile too beautifully and wield light too readily and devour knowledge too greedily. I knew of a man in Napanee who sought to satisfy base instinct; Curiosity. Fascination bubbled deep within wearing down his being, like a creek, and he simply fed it with his knowledge and reason. Unstymied as it was, he soon became a font of light - the very thing that destroyed his soul and passion. He was simply a pawn!

Now as a fan I'll share with you some original work unfit for even my daily tabloids:

What am I
A wound that is the
medicine. Waiting,
for sun that
never rises. To drink,
and to find yourself
still thirsty.
Both victims and
unafflicted may never know.
To wither on
the vine.

Good day deadmeat, good luck with your hunt.

I voted IA because while we all wear masks he simply is not the same man. His eye brows were thicker before. His earlobes hang incorrectly and his nose is crooked in the exact opposite direction. I think that birthmark was never there, to top it all off I've never heard him talk so harshly. I believe he isn't IA.
