I think we can agree to that much.

We were joking about that last night. Paranoia is too easy a trap to fall into. Treat others with respect and patience, and you can win them over.
Otherwise, you will kill anyone, because you will trust no one. And that will make you worse than the bad villages.
OK, going over my chatlog, it did start pretty well. Bear and I were talking about the Mine, and about Purus. And how we hated his guts. Good, good. And Mr. Bear Grylls - I've been miswriting it, sorry - seemed a decent chap. When he started talking to Juno, though - what can I say? I trusted Juno. He was a hard worker. The way Bear was digging into Juno was hostile. I defended my friend from someone who seemed to hate him.
I don't know why it went so downhill from there...
I'm sorry, but I don't understand where this guard village comes from? As I had previously stated, we have only advised them against allowing the obvious spies in.[/quote]
Anyway, this idea came to me when Bear said this, the night before I was murdered, after he'd grilled Juno and we'd all gotten confused about what Abo is.

So the idea, not explicitly, but in so many words, came from Bear Grylls. It gave me the idea that somehow this guy believed we owed our safety to Arkandia. That Arkandia was a village guarding the Abbey.
Also, when have you heard of my village disrespecting and killing people who may be infiltrating the Abbey? The dispute in regards to Juno actually had nothing to do with suspecting her to be a spy, although I will admit, as the argument progressed the focus shifted more towards that which I would apologise for but I believe it was confirmed she was in fact a spy? I don't know, but please, do not paint Arkandia to be a bad village because we are definitely not that.
Forgive me if I am painting you in absolute Nazi red. I don't mean to do that. But Bear Grylls is a speck of pink that, left unchecked, might turn red, and then the rest of your colony. I beg you not to let that happen. Now, when it is clear they are malignant, OK. Rip 'em open. And if it was confirmed that Juno was a spy I certainly didn't know, so forgive me if that was already settled. But it didn't seem confirmed to me; only that he was pretending to be Danish. And that's not a crime. And it CERTAINLY was not confirmed that I took a bunch of high value curios before one of your villagers decided to attack my pali.
I only want more diplomacy. If I am a cloud cuckoolander for asking for that, well, so be it. But I just hate the distrust and what seems to me to be needless hostility between people.
