Hilarious. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 28/01/2010 06:36:22 PM
Because your post doesn't get at my main issue: I read the same sections as you, and came to a different conclusion.

While it's nice that you think your conclusion is airtight, I've already said that I've drawn a different idea of the outcome from the same premises.

So I'm just saving time.


So you're just going to play dumb and give up? Not even trying to find a reason why Graendal would enact the Great Scheme of Insanity that you somehow think it is illogical for her not to enact?

Graendal's death would imply a major logical flaw in the story. fionwe1987 - 25/01/2010 05:18:23 PM 2693 Views
