That was why we couldn't obviously hint and why we couldn't choose who got the walkie-talkie that was given up. The host said saying we have it in the thread would get us modkilled/blacklisted. Trying to say it was just a Day 1 thing is a cheap out and only serves to make me look bad and is clearly not the case. If the mod meant something else, he can clarify, but that doesn't change what it looks like to someone reading it.
I understand your concern. But frankly I don't think it ever looks bad to stand back and go "hmm well that's another possibility I never thought of" - and put it down to the mods cryptic ways. Probably a bit pointless playing the mod, but at least you can point to a misunderstanding rather than to any dilebarate action on your part to WIFOM. The problem at the moment is that you and the others are alive and the WT has been spoken about. Maybe the mod changed his mind, maybe the mod din't explain it so well, maybe the mod said something in the context of a conversation you had with the mod on day one and you have assumed that carried over to subsequent days. But frankly, who cares? I understand your concern that if you go "ok hippo I'll just let it go" that it might make you look weak or dithery. But I really don't think so. I think in the context of the thread is is a diplomatic option and it allows us to all get on and play the game rather than this endless spiral. I also add that I would not think any less of you if you moved on from this issue, but I do accept I can't speak for others. I would be immensely suspicious, however, of anyone who wanted to pursue something on this issue further if you did have a change of heart.
