[Pine Needle]

This is why I do my best to try and forget who is playing whom in individual games. It makes it a lot easier to make decisions as to who I should attack if I am not thinking about who the bastard was who attacked me in the last game! I hope nobody quits this game - so far, it's turning out great even if I did face an unprovoked attack by that bastard who likes to tie people to pine trees and then get them pulled in half.

Is there an insult somewhere in there? All this sounds like the yak horn lullabies Greta RedBeard my maternal grandmother used to sing to me as she rocked my cradle with one hand, ground Underworld bone meal with the other, and sharpened swords with her toenails.

It's actually a reference to my favorite mythological weirdo, Sinus the Pine Bender:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinis_(mythology)
Sinis would force travelers to help him bend pine trees to the ground and then unexpectedly let go, catapulting the victims through the air. Alternative sources say that he tied people to two pine trees that he bent down to the ground, then let the trees go, tearing his victims apart. This led to him being called Pityocamptes (Πιτυοκάμπτης = "pine-bender").

You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.
