Well, yes, but Deity humping his own leg in the middle of a game can be disconcerting.

Horse's outburst has screwed up the game anyway

He's seen my map now and stuffed up my unit moves. If only he had relaxed and had a can, chilled out... lost his nerve because of the unknown but now it's known

True. With Horse's permission, I checked his map and worked out what happened. Everything that happened took place on his map. Your map, Deity, remains - well, like everything you do - an utter mystery.

No one else commented on this line, but the waste of space reference is a classic.

Three of the posters in this thread have actually met the tampon on legs, thus I wasn't telling them anything they didn't already know.

Yes. In fact, I might borrow one of Deity's elephants for the purpose.

Careful, careful. It's a very fine line. If anyone objected to my post, I was going to claim I'd been momentarily taken over by Hydey's spirit.

Horse was the aggresive chatterer
And he showed complete mistrust.... and I don't believe anything you say about looking at the saves! The game is spoilt.

basically deity knows he is losing so now he's trying to get out of the game.

Its a bit like when someone deliberately upsets a chess board.

In Australia we call people like this pikers.

Deity seems to think someone looked at his map. The action that Horse got upset about took place on Horse's map. With Horse's permission, I checked his map, worked out what had happened, and told Horse what had happened. Bottom line: he had nothing to be upset about.

Presumably Deity is grizzling about people looking at his map as some sort of means of getting out of the game. I can't think of any other possible reason.

if you check the kc you will find I wasn't the one who got upset. deity could have easily clarified the simple question I raised but he got quite hot under the collar.

I put it down to the pressure of being at my mercy in a completely hopeless situation in the game.
