  2. 4 people still want to kill me...huh...how nice. I'm keeping my vote on Auxilis. If we both go even, I offer to null with him.

    So, whoever is here still has three choices. Null, myself or Prime.

     

    I'll explain my vote. Axilus voted me pretty early on. I suggest you go back to around page 4 or so for proof.

    And if anything...if I was mafia...I'd be more active

  4. I'll answer both questions: You see, I'm a frog so I can teach us all a valuable lesson. The rest of the world sees me as a frog, but Ms. Piggy sees me as her prince. So that is why, my dear friend.
