This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

        Thank you for this clarification, mantis. One point sticks to my
mind though. A possible motive of the Badger was to prevent the coming of
the New Sun. Is Vodalus for or against this coming? The point I most recall
is that of when Vodalus discribes the battle in terms of black and white
chess pieces. He claims that his side is the revolutionary side. Thus, is
Hildegrin acting alone, or with his leader's wishes (Which would seem
contradictory) ?
