This echoed and amplified. Thank you all and thanks heaps to ffery and Syr for being great mods and coming up with an amazing and intriguing (and fun to play) setup.
In post 1618, Plotinus wrote:talah, i've ended up carrying my hydra as both alignments: in the recent blitz (sorry for scumreading you there btw, that game was really awful), and in a couple that i was playing back in august. I only have one towngame where my hydra partner was posting regularly in the game thread.
Sure, it was just an observation from me in the spoilered dead thread. I'd played with Mala relatively recently as town and she was an SE in my first newbie (where she was scum) (terrible game by the way - from me).
I just have a wariness of her and some kind of internal gut-comparison between Mala-scum and Mala-town. I was really looking forward to interacting with her more if she was town after her initial poke at me ;)
(Also - please never feel like an apology is necessary for anything - either doing a good job as scum or scumreading me as town - when your actions are always (I want to say professional) on the up-and-up and respectful, intelligent and empathetic. Thanks for being you).
Also for posterity:
I'm SO glad this happened, and slightly disappointed I didn't finish my roles / docs / claims spreadsheet and ended up voting Aristo a week early.
Because that doc-claim would have drawn my attention back to Kittehs pretty hard, just because I'm a bit prone to following my own lines of thought.
(Unfortunately as it was I was struggling to find time to post lucidly in my free time even though I had time off from work. Sorry for not doing due diligence as well as I -possibly- could have).

Anyways huge hugs, love you all and might see you all in another game (probably as an alt) in the not-too-distant future.
I think Plotinus deserves some kind of scummination for this game too. So I'll see what's rolling around in the nom thread :)
