  - nmbB - The Ruiner Aug 24, 11:53
  - They want to appear innocent. They're used to lying in ordinary circumstances, rather than staying quiet in legal circumstances. -- nm - mara Aug 24, 11:39
  - I'm pretty sure it's a game rule that they must say something. - Strongbad Aug 24, 11:38 2
    - ahh -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 11:39 1
      - Or else, yes. I'd sit there for 48 hours and not say a word. Anyone with a brain would do this. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 11:39
