dedoporno: Ha, I didn't think that was trying to fish it out but on second reading he might have in a subtle way.
To be honest I was mostly being facetious with the original accusation. It was a playful way of saying let's stop this line of enquiry. Lift's reaction to that is more interesting in some ways.
dedoporno: At the same time, if Lift isn't a Survivor he could have just answer the question truthfully with a "No, 'I'm not." and that wouldn't have affect us in any way as far as scum knowledge extends.
Even if Lift is a survivor he could have answered with "No, I'm not." so I'm not sure that the fact he didn't is particularly AI. It's kind of a pointless question because the answer is going to be no either way. It's not like he has a post restriction that requires him to be truthful if he answers a direct question about his alignment. Or at least we have no reason to think that.
I agree it's mildly interesting that he brushed the question off. But in the context of Lift's response to Bookwyrm it's kind of interesting.
dedoporno: Bitch, you asked and I answered.
JoeSapphire: Yeah! And I asked thinking "anyone who claims to have not heard of it is going to be Well Sus"
;p
So is it the answering of the question (or "making a point of saying" as you tried to paint it) or the forgetting that's sus?
JoeSapphire: I don't really understand Lifthrasil's refusal to deny that he's a survivor. But Lifthrasil is hiking with no internet access so maybe this isn't Lift?
What you're saying is that Lift dropped his phone on a mountain and now there's a goat licking it?
JoeSapphire: I don't underdtand Bookwyrm's insisting that Lifthrasil answer the survivor question. What were you hoping he would say? What would that achieve?
I guess I can imagine scenarios where Bookwyrm would have a trap for a Neutral... Actually no they don't make sense.
Even if Bookwyrm has some info on Lift, and is trying to give him a chance to prove his allegiance or whatever, surely it would not be the immediate priority?
Well exactly. I suppose the best you can hope for is to try and read
how he denies it. In this case Lift decided not to address it at all.
dedoporno: Could be a ruse. I have one farfetched idea. It starts with a "D" and rhymes with fistancing.
Wyrm is at L-2, I think. Consider me on that wagon for L-1.
Dfistancing? fistDancing?
