Not touching all those spoilers but they're really tempting right now.
And happy to see Gorlak! It's been a while and it's always nice to see returning players.
Honestly? Feel free to switch the kahlua, I recommend Rompope (Eggnog), Baileys, crreme the menthe or if you just don't want alcohol on it, coffee syrup or vanilla.
First, welcome to Spec! And thanks for the advice, I'd definitely prefer to keep alcohol out of the recipe.
*Takes notes*
Yeah I'm not sure what he's doing either, but there's no way he's going to convince everyone she is scum
He's probably frustrated. I'd be too. It's super hard to argue against two of the best players in the community when they're thinking similarly and pushing back as if they were working in tandem. And they have good points too, so almost anything malus says won't outweigh these in the eyes of Montiko. Kind of like D1 of Sawneeks in Conspiracy 2. Something unexpected would need to happen, like Dubs flipping town, for them to completely reassess that case.
When you're in a bad spot and your days seem numbered, you have to play defense half the time and any cases you make in the other half will be given way less attention than if you were being town-read.
Then you have the fact that malus has a low-posting style. The less you post/the shorter your posts are, the harder it is for people to naturally trust you. And then when malus posts two lines, they get back at him with paragraphs and paragraphs of why he's wrong, which is demoralizing.
Like, I know you need to keep trying, but it's super hard to care/pretend to care in that situation. malus has been doing some nice work this phase though, so I do hope he doesn't give up!
