So since we're both mature adults here I want to talk to you about a book that my great uncle gave to me before he was taken by the Red Guard during the Cultural Revolution.

I think you might have heard of it, it is
Crime and Punishment
by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

Although at the time I was unable to read Russian as I was only four, I taught myself word by word because in the chaos of the time it seemed like a sanctuary to me.

You see books back then were forbidden, possessions of the upper class, to be found with a book would be a capital crime, even if you were only a child.

To read something other than 紅寶書 was considered a death sentence. If found out, we would be bound in the town square and stoned to death quite slowly by the entire village.

To refuse would be outting yourself as a person of principle, and during those times those people were quite rare and often died in excruciatingly public ways.

It was during those days in the farms that we had been forced to work in that I found a sense of purpose and justice in my life.

You see the story of Crime and Punishment is not complex, it is actually quite simple but the meaning that it carries for me is something else entirely.

I won't bore you with a summary, you can have Wikipedia for that.

However I do want to instill within you a sense of gravity about which you carry yourself in this life and the next.

My death here will not bring you joy or comfort for I will not flip mafia. That much is certain to me.

The question is how you will carry on the burden knowing that my blood will be upon your hands.

Victory, defeat, life, death. What are these concepts to us? Nothing but the wind.

But if they mean nothing to you, what is the purpose of you being here right now?

You spend precious hours of your life here with me, for what end?

In the waning twilight of your life, will you be glad you spent them pushing Pooky in a game where he was actually town?

I think life is too short sometimes, and perhaps the joys too few and far between.

I hope my death here will bring a smile to your face so it will not be a waste for both of us.

Datsi
and

are very unlikely S/S. and the previous post is an atypical progression for a partner.

Less likely
Dwlee
admits to their read inaccuracy is poor unless that's true? Leads me to think
Dwlee/M&M
are very unlikely S/S, T/S most probable for my current reads. T/T possible but weird.

Oh, and I have liked
Number's
posting so far except for , this felt like rolefishing
RH9
. I'm not touching self-induced WIFOM D1 when a Jester is in the game.

Meg
feels mechanical.

I suspect
Toog
,
Three
, and
M&M
. The push on both ends here feels almost unbelievable.

Threz, where did this happen?
Less confident on

, I said that to bait backlash.

NumberQ pushed then while still claiming it which is the main reason for the wagon there. Three is guilty of the same but I personally find their early play very +town


The main question is if the bears are jester as opposed to scum. I am of the impression of the former.

Bear wasn't baiting a cc I think
