I think a second look at our poetry is in order too, now we have more of it

Shun the windows of this wretched stair
The evil sun in the widow’s hair
‘ware the gifts the shadows share
Confound!
A light I see but is it me?
The lidless eye that ‘lone can see
A truth that shall set me free
Echo the sounds of my pursuit
CONFOUND, CONFOUND, confound…
.......
Seeking answers I traveled near
(‘twas not a question worth venturing far)
I found a man on a mountaintop
Who bid me stop
To stay awhile, and hear:
“Trust no one!” said he, looking grim
(‘twas not the question I was asking)
But I ignored him and did not stay
Because who was he to say
I did not, in the end, trust him.
.....
“I know something you don’t know”
But I didn’t trust his tales, oh no.
For the truth is mine alone to show
This at least I know.
For the voice on high will conceal
And the dead may keep their tales
But the man in the lake’s details
Were to be part of the deal.
So I'm not sure if the RM poem is connected to the other two, but the day 2 poem seems to pick up from the day 1 poem, the "dead may keep their tales" seems to be a safe reference to the lack of role in posthumous messages, the 'voice on high will conceal' would seem to reference our Mod, and it makes me wonder who the 'man on the lake' might be, a NPC, one of us, ? perhaps? I also wonder who the narrator is, I could see that as the Mod's voice or the scums' or the cop's or various other options, and I'm curious for people interpretations... I've also got two quick things I want pursue and I'll follow up with those in a separate post, one is likely a bum lead, pair of leads in fact, and the other is strategic. Anyway, while I have no reference to any sort of character in my own RM, and everyone has said as much themselves, I do get the nagging feeling we do have 'named' characters, and I don't think FT writes these as pure flavor or red herring.

Very good point, I think a roleclaim from ?, using Kronin's coded roleclaim from yesterday

? can't decode Kronin's RC, and he wouldn't be allowed to give his own

No, I don't want you to claim

Lying and claiming cop when you can't decode your RC will get you lynched faster. *NM*
