When I reformat it to show that what you call "an incomparable analogy" is simple word substitution, yes it does.

Don't you think if I could tell you, I would have already?

Glad I'm not the only one who had trouble interpreting that. I thought I was just being dim.

So it's someone else's claim? Are you two people or are you suggesting Joe has done another Orryyrro?

I am trying real hard to be the shepard Ringo...

Ok, now I'm really confused.

Pulp Fiction reference.

Oh yes! From near the end, I remember now.
I'm so glad he wasn't claiming shepherd, this is confusing enough as it is.

I think he said he's getting the urge to kill someone.

May I ask who?
& perhaps more importantly, why?

I have one question.
I'll tell you my character at least for now, not role. I am NIght Watchman. But I am not WATCHER!
Pazzer, littlerabbit and Rodzaju all claimed their roles but neither of them their characters. Sir, claimed VANILLA and ... eh some soldier, I can't find it now, NFY, MASON and Fairy and muttly Baker and VANILLA.
Fo you 3 also have a character or are you just roles?

It means I reduced his text. It's used in czech newspapers and magazines to show they didn't publish whole letter or other stuff.

Objection!

Actually, word substitution would give:
Just because I hit Joe with a pole, doesn't mean it is my pole.
Just because I claimed to be sheep, doesn't mean it is my sheep.

This is why I was confused and said it's not comparable. -_-; The action is the verb, so 'hit' and 'claim'. It's more obvious if neither sentence has an object, i.e., "I hit with a pole = not my pole. I claim sheep = not my sheep."

But anyway.

@Vitek, good point - these three also have the only non-standard roles...

I did give my character.
I am the Fortune Teller (Character), Town Diviner (Role).

And I am blind idiot. pazzer did the same, he is Apothecary. Sorry, this only applies to littlerabbit. Unless I missed it too...

No, you were right about the rabbit....

I think she was something along the lines of 'Little Girl'.

Woah. I suck. Hoorah for not reading the thread back to check this one time and messing up. Rabbit softclaimed "youthful maid" back on D1, but nothing since.

I'm going to bed, it's half midnight and I only got back from work two hours ago. -_-;

I went back to check and couldn't find anything in littlerabbit's claim saying she was a little girl.

This must have been where I got it from.
